News Item Three
Cairo is known for its overcrowded roads, irregulardriving practices and shaky old vehicles, but also forits air pollution. (5) In recent months, though,environmental studies indicate there have beensigns of improvement. That's due in part to theremoval of many of the capital's old-fashioned black and white taxis. Most of these dated backto the 1960s and 70s and were in a poor state of repair.
After new legislation demanded their removal from the roads, (6) a low interest loan schemewas set up with three Egyptian banks so drivers could buy new cars. The government paysabout $900 for old ones to be discarded and advertising on the new vehicles helps coverrepayments.
The idea has proved popular with customers—they can now travel in air-conditioned comfortand (7) because the new cabs are metered, they don't have to argue over fares. Banks and carmanufacturers are glad for the extra business in tough economic times. As for the taxi drivers,most are: delighted to be behind the wheel of new cars, although there have been a fewcomplaints about switching from black and white to a plain white colour.
5.What change took place in Cairo recently?
6.What helped bring about the change?
7.Why do customers no longer argue with new cab drivers?
參考譯文：
開(kāi)羅以擁擠不堪的交通，違法駕駛、破舊汽車(chē)以及空氣污染而聞名。但有研究表明，近幾個(gè)月開(kāi)羅的不良的環(huán)境得到改善。因?yàn)槭锥级鄶?shù)老式的黑白色出租車(chē)已被取締。這些老式車(chē)輛可以追溯到1960年代和70年代，有的已經(jīng)嚴(yán)重失修。
取締舊出租車(chē)、禁止其上路的新法規(guī)實(shí)施之后，三家埃及銀行開(kāi)通了低息貸款計(jì)劃，以便司機(jī)能夠購(gòu)買(mǎi)新車(chē)。政府為老舊汽車(chē)報(bào)廢給予約900美元的財(cái)政補(bǔ)貼，新車(chē)的廣告商幫助償還應(yīng)付款項(xiàng)。
這項(xiàng)政策讓乘客大呼過(guò)癮——現(xiàn)在他們可以乘坐舒適的空調(diào)車(chē)，而且新式出租車(chē)采用打卡機(jī)制，他們不用再為了車(chē)費(fèi)討價(jià)還價(jià)。處于經(jīng)濟(jì)困難時(shí)期的銀行和汽車(chē)制造商們也為這筆額外業(yè)務(wù)歡喜不已。至于出租車(chē)司機(jī)，雖然對(duì)車(chē)輛顏色由黑白換為純白有些許抱怨，但他們還是很高興駕駛新車(chē)。
5.近期，開(kāi)羅有什么重大的變化?
6.是什么導(dǎo)致了這一變化?
7.為什么乘客不用再為了車(chē)費(fèi)討價(jià)還價(jià)?
參考答案：
【小題5】D
【小題6】A
【小題7】C
習(xí)題解析：
【小題5】新聞開(kāi)頭提到，開(kāi)羅不良的環(huán)境最近幾個(gè)月得到改善，下文給出了原因， the removal of many of the capital's old-fashioned black and white taxis，即“首都許多老式的黑白色出租車(chē)已被取締”，而后文中提到政府和銀行支持購(gòu)買(mǎi)新車(chē)，由此可知，新出租車(chē)取代舊出租車(chē)是開(kāi)羅最近發(fā)生的變化，故本題選 D。
【小題6】新聞中提到，在新法規(guī)做出取締這些舊出租車(chē)、禁止其上路的要求之后，三家埃及銀行開(kāi)通了低息貸款計(jì)劃，以便司機(jī)能夠購(gòu)買(mǎi)新車(chē)，由此可知，政府實(shí)施的新法規(guī)直接導(dǎo)致了這種變化，而銀行實(shí)行的低息貸款措施幫助司機(jī)得以購(gòu)買(mǎi)新車(chē)，對(duì)這一變化起到了推動(dòng)作用，故本題選 A。
【小題7】新聞中明確提到，因?yàn)樾碌某鲎廛?chē)安裝了計(jì)價(jià)器，乘客不必為票價(jià)而爭(zhēng)論， 故本題選 C。
