B
Britain's housing crisis has reached a new peak with the average Londoner now needing a
massive 14 times their annual salary to afford to buy in the capital. The research shows the crisis
isn't limited to London either- any other cities, including Cambridge and Oxford, also have
double-digit prices to earnings ratios. Across the UK as a whole, people now need on average
six-and-a-halftimes their annual salary to buy their own home.
As a result of being unable to afford to buy in the southern cities, families are being forced to
move out to areas where house prices are lower. But this is putting increasing pressure on prices in
cities such as Manchester and Birmingham where house price inflation is set to rocket. "Regional
cities have more aitractive affordability levels and house prices have significant potential upside
for growth in the near term subject to (受 ... ...支配) the outlook for the economy," Richard
Donnell from Hometrack said.
In a bid to ease the increasing pressure in the Britain's housing market, earlier this week
Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond released a new Housing Infrastructure Fund which
the government hopes will support the construction of 100,000 new homes in areas which "need
them most". But Donnell said: "These measures focus on the longer term challenges of addressing
housing supply and will have limited impact on the current situation of housing affordability,
which will be decided by market forces and households' expectations for jobs and the cost of
borrowing."
While mortgage(抵押贷款) rates are at their lowest ever level, making it cheap to borrow, it
seems fewer people are being approved for a loan. Yesterday the British Bankers' Association
published figures showing that mortgage approvals were 10 per cent down in October from a year
earlier. Fewer approvals and the continuing squeeze on affordability is pushing an increasing
number of would-be homeowners out of the market.
Communities secretary Sajid Javid said: "We have been clear that we need to build a lot more
homes if we are to achieve a country that works for everyone. That is why we are announcing the
biggest housing investment in a generation to step up house building. With a doubting in capital
spending, we are stimulationg(刺激) the market needs for a step change in the number of homes
being built in the places people want to live."
58. What is the present condition of the house price in the UK?
A. People in some places need to pay over ten times to earnings ratios to buy houses.
B. The British still feel affordability is under their control despite the price increase.
C. Facing the the price increase, more and more people are rushing to buy houses.
D. Now people have to pay six-and-a-half times the previous house price.
59. It can he inferred from Richard Donnell's words that
A. people in regional cities will burden more pressure of moving out
B. people in regional cities would choose to build rockets rather than houses
C. house prices in regional cities have the potential for increase
D. house prices in regional cities will turn economic growth upside down
60. According to the passage, the effective solution to the housing crisis is
A. to lower the mortgage rates B. to promote housing construction
C.to increase citizens' earnings D. to move people to regional cities
