Beijing plans to keep a tight rule on pollution by cutting emissions caused by industrial production and vehicles when it hosts the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in November.
From November 3 to 12, the city will restrict the use of private vehicles based on even-and odd-numbered license plates, reducing the use of such vehicles by 35 percent, the municipal(市政府的) traffic committee said on Thursday.
All vehicles transporting construction waste and dangerous chemicals will be banned from the capital’s roads during this period, but the restriction will not apply to buses, taxis and other vehicles such as police cars.
The measures are similar to those introduced from July 20 to Sept. 20 in 2008 during the Beijing Olympic Games.
?The number of passengers using public transport will increase by 3 million a day,” said Li Shaoming, deputy director of the Beijing Traffic Management Bureau.
During the 10 days, 400 additional buses will be used to transport commuters to meet the increased demands.
The municipal government has also drawn up eight plans to reduce industrial pollution during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum.
Zhuang Zhidong, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, said “From Nov. 3, production at some companies listed by the government will be suspended for 10 days.”
Work will also be suspended at all construction sites and on demolition projects during this period.
?More important, Beijing will work with its control emissions,” Zhuang said, adding that there will be regular discussion on air pollution among six governments.
Neighboring authorities in Tianjin Municipality, Hebei, Shanxi and Shandong Province and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region will operate strict pollution control measures over the 10 days.
Media reports said that from Nov. 7 to 12, employee departments, institutes and social organizations in Beijing can have a holiday, except for departments dealing with the APEC meeting and city management.
1. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Cars can’t be used in Beijing from November 3 to 12.
B. Not all the people can have a holiday from November 7 to 12.
C. Citizens will choose buses as their only means of transport.
D. All the neighboring provinces will take the same measures.
2. What is the purpose of the vehicle restriction?
A. To reduce the emissions caused by vehicles.
B. To call on people to use public transport.
C. To advocate a new lifestyle.
D. To display the friendliness of Beijing people.
3. The underlined word “suspended” (Paragraph 8) probably means “________”.
A. delayed
B. continued
C. completed
D. reduced
4. Where can you probably read the passage?
A. A travel guide.
B. A research paper.
C. A newspaper.
D. A literature magazine.
答案与解析
【文章大意】
本文是一篇资讯报道，在举办亚太经合组织领导人会议期间，北京将采取严厉的措施来治理污染。
1. 答案
B
解析
根据最后一段Media reports said that from Nov. 7 to 12 ... the APEC meeting and city management可知，并不是所有的人在这几天都有假期，故B项正确；根据第二段中的From November 3 to 12 ... reducing the use of such vehicles by 35 percent可知，是减少使用私家车，不是禁止使用，故A项错误；根据第三段中的but the restriction will not apply to buses, taxis and other vehicles such as police cars可知，C项不正确；根据倒数第二段Neighboring authorities in Tianjin Municipality, Hebei, Shanxi and Shandong Province and ... control measures over the 10 days可知，北京附近的一些地方也采取了措施治理污染，但是没提到采取的是相同的措施，故D项不正确。
2. 答案
A
解析
根据文章第一段中的Beijing plans to keep a tight rule on pollution by cutting emissions caused by industrial production and vehicles可知，限制汽车的使用是为了减少它们所产生的污染。故A项正确。
3. 答案
A

【语篇解读】
有的时候人们太累了以至于他们在任何地方都能睡着。本文告诉我们人们容易在下班回家的车上、演讲厅里睡着，然而最危险的是在开车时睡着，那样极易引发车祸。
1. 答案
from/after
解析
考查介词。由后面的in the evening可知，此处是指下班回家的路上，故用from或after。
2. 答案
unplanned
解析
考查上下文的逻辑关系。演讲厅不是一个睡觉的地方，故用表示否定意义的形容词unplanned。
3. 答案
where
解析
考查定语从句。设空处引导定语从句，修饰the lecture hall，并且关系词在从句中作地点状语，故填where。
4. 答案
another
解析
考查代词。分析语境可知此处表示“别的同学”，因为所修饰的student是单数，并且是三者或三者以上中的一个，所以要用another，意为“另一个”。
5. 答案
embarrassing
解析
考查词性变化。修饰名词situation，故用形容词embarrassing表示“令人尴尬的”。
6. 答案
the
解析
考查冠词。特指“头的重量”，故用定冠词。
7. 答案
worst
解析
考查形容词的最高级。开车时睡觉是“最糟糕的”，故用最高级形式。
8. 答案
If
解析
考查连词。句意：如果司机幸运的话，他们不会受伤很严重。故此处用if引导条件状语从句。
9. 答案
was raining
解析
考查时态。表示在过去的时间正在进行的动作，用过去进行时。
10. 答案
nothing
解析
考查代词。句意：当人们真的累了的时候，没有什么能阻止他们睡着——无论他们在哪里。故用nothing。
