Buy land, advised Mark Twain；they're nt making it any mre. In fact, land is nt really scarce(稀缺的)：the entire ppulatin f America culd fit int Texas with mre than an acre fr each husehld t enjy. What drives prices rcket is a cllisin between uncntrlled demand and limited supply in the great metrplises like Lndn, Mumbai and New Yrk. In the past ten years real prices in Hng Kng have risen by 150%. Residential (住宅的）prperty in Mayfair, in central Lndn, can g fr as much as £55,000 ($82,000) per square metre. A square mile f Manhattan residential prperty csts $ 16. 5 billin.
Even in these great cities the scarcity is artificial. Regulatry limits n the height and density(密度）f buildings cnstrain(限制）supply and increase prices. A recent analysis by academics at the Lndn Schl f Ecnmics estimates that land-use regulatins in the West End f Lndn inflate the price f ffice space by abut 800% ; in Milan and Paris the rules push up prices by arund 300%. Mst f the enrmus value captured by landwners exists because it is almst impssible t build new ffices t cmpete thse prfits away.
The csts f this misfiring prperty market are huge, mainly because f their effects n individuals. High husing prices frce wrkers twards cheaper but less prductive places. Accrding t ne study, emplyment in the Bay Area arund San Francisc wuld be abut five times larger than it is but fr tight limits n cnstructin. Add up these csts in lst earnings and unrealized human ptential, and the figures becme dizzying. Lifting all the barriers t urban grwth in America culd raise the cuntry's GDP by between 6.5% and 13.5%, r by abut 1 trillin—2 trillin. It is difficult t think f many ther plicies that wuld prduce anything like that.
32.Why des the authr refer t Mark Twain?
A. T persuade peple t buy land.
B. T present the tpic.
C. T emphasize his influence n city develpment.
D. T arise readers’ interest.
33.What culd be the main reasn f the rising prices f land?
A. Regulatry limits.B. Ecnmic crisis.
C. Supply-demand imbalance.D. Ppulatin grwth.
34.What des paragraph 2 intend t tell us?
A. Husing prices in big cities are increasing.
B. Enrmus value f land is mainly captured by the minrity.
C. It’s pssible t cnstruct many new ffices t share the prfits.
D. The fact that land is scarce in big cities is made by regulatry plicies.
35.What’s the authr’s attitude twards tight limits n cnstructin?
