六、任务型阅读。(2025·江苏盐城景山中学期中)
阅读短文，回答下列问题。
Do you know that some people in Britain live in boats instead of houses? It's expensive to buy a house in Britain. To save money, many people choose to live in the “floating houses”. There are over 35,000 boats on rivers in England and Wales in 2025. Many are people's main homes.
Liam Quinn, a 37-year-old musician, lives happily on a boat for five years in London. “I love waking up to the water and swans. One month, I'm in the heart of the city; the next, I stop next to cows in the countryside,” he says.
A small boat costs between 50,000 pounds (about 456,000 yuan) and 100,000 pounds. That's cheaper than buying a flat in London. In the richest places, the price of a flat is around 600,000 pounds.
But boat life isn't all fun. Quinn has to move his boat every two weeks and clean the toilet every day. Yuck! Still, Quinn loves his watery home. “You learn to fix things and make friends with others. Everyone is friendly and helpful!” he says.
注：每题不超过 6 个词。
1. Why do many people in Britain live in boats?
2. Where does Quinn stop in the countryside?
3. How much is a flat in the richest places in London?
4. How often does Quinn move his boat?
5. What do you think of the life on the boat?

阅读短文，回答下列问题。
你知道英国有些人住在船上而不是房子里吗？在英国买房很贵。为了省钱，很多人选择住在“浮屋”里。2025年，英格兰和威尔士的河流上有超过35000艘船。很多船是人们的主要住所。
37岁的音乐家利亚姆·奎因在伦敦的一艘船上愉快地生活了五年。“我喜欢在水声和天鹅的陪伴下醒来。这个月，我在城市中心；下个月，我就停在乡下的牛群旁边。”他说。
一艘小船的价格在5万英镑（约45.6万元人民币）到10万英镑之间。这比在伦敦买一套公寓便宜。在最富有的地区，一套公寓的价格约为60万英镑。
但船上的生活并不全是乐趣。奎因每两周就得移动他的船，而且每天都要清理厕所。真讨厌！不过，奎因还是喜欢他的水上之家。“你会学会修理东西，还会和别人交朋友。每个人都很友好、乐于助人！”他说。
