6．When young people begin to live independently，home-hunting can bring some stress．But they would do well to remember that a new alternative is available-micro-home．
Called"tiny houses"，these houses have all living necessities in a small package，including kitchen，bedroom and bathroom．Generally under 50square meters，most tiny houses accommodate just one or two people though some claim the space for more．What's lost in size is not lost in design as these homes are often quite unique and modern in design．
Besides an attractive appearance，tiny houses can also have unique practical features．Making the best of urban space，the 72-to 122-centimeter-wide Keret House in Warsaw，the world's narrowest home，fills in an alley．The Ecocapsule home uses solar power，wind power and rainwater collection to enable its owner to live practically anywhere．A system of rails allows the DALE micro-home to adjust room size and number as well as adding the option of an open or enclosed courtyard．
Visually appealing as micro-homes are，there are a few drawbacks to consider before getting cozy on a mini-couch．Moving into a tiny house requires the removing of most non-essentials，regardless of the emotional connection to them．Guests will also mostly be out of the question as the limited space may even cause a solitary （獨(dú)居的） individual to experience some cabin fever （幽閉癥）．And finally，a micro-home is likely a temporary living option for most people since they will probably start families and acquire more possessions．
Though the limitations will scare some，there is usually a benefit．A small size results in a small price tag and small bills，making tiny houses easier to save up for and budget．And though you won't have much stuff around the house，this can provide the comfort of simple living and repairs．Micro-homes are also practically mobile and have eco-friendliness that can't be matched by other homes．They probably aren't for everyone or forever，but when it comes to your next （or first） home，they could be just what you need．

解答 DACD
25．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)第二段，特別是最后一句What's lost in size is not lost in design as these homes are often quite unique and modern in design．
可知房子雖小，應(yīng)有盡有，不一定不方便，故答案為D
26．A推理判斷題 根據(jù)第三段第一句Besides an attractive appearance，tiny houses can also have unique practical features．除了吸引人的外觀外，小房子也有獨(dú)特的實(shí)用功能．緊接著以舉例子的形式介紹獨(dú)一無二的、切合實(shí)際的特征，故選A
27．C 推理判斷題 根據(jù)最后一段中A small size results in a small price tag and small bills，making tiny houses easier to save up for and budget．小房子節(jié)約開支；They probably aren't for everyone or forever，but when it comes to your next （or first） home，they could be just what you need．它們只是臨時(shí)的家，因此可知C項(xiàng)符合題意．
28．D 主旨大意題 通讀全文可知，本文主要講述了Micro-homes的介紹和利弊簡析，可知D項(xiàng)符合題意．
