Question

Roosegaarde, an artist and designer from Dutch has thought of a device(裝置). He hopes it will make Beijing's sky clear again and help the people with masks breathe fresh air again in Beijing.

An electromagnetic field(電磁場) will pull the dirty particles in the air to the ground, and then they can be easily cleaned.

Roosegaarde says, "It's like when you have a balloon which has static electricity(靜電) and your hair goes toward it. Smog happens the same way as the hair."

His workplace has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of the capital's parks. Beijing's skies are regularly covered by grey smog. Serious cases of air pollution are often reported in Beijing. Roosegaarde says an indoor test has already shown it works well and he is confident of the results. With the help of a team of scientists and engineers, he is sure that the device can be worked outside.

"Beijing is a very good place to test the device because the smog in Beijing is quite low and there's not so much wind." says Roosegaarde. "We'll be able to make the air pure but the most difficult thing is to remove the smog. As a result, you can see the sun again."

Roosegaarde also reminds us that his aim is not only to give a plan to solve Beijing's dirty air pollution but also to make people pay attention to the environment problem. He adds, "This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer to do with it is clean cars, different industry and different lifestyles. " However, he hopes the project will make the citizens realize the differences between clean air and smog-filled air.

1.The device works by_______.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了荷蘭人Roosegaarde設置了一種裝置。他希望利用這種裝置凈化空氣還人們清新的空氣，他也希望人們注意環(huán)境問題。

1.二段An electromagnetic field(電磁場) will pull the dirty particles in the air to the ground, and then they can be easily cleaned.描述可知這個設備的是通過電磁場把臟的顆粒吸到地面。然后他們很容易被弄干凈。故選B

2.一段He hopes it will make Beijing's sky clear again and help the people with masks breathe fresh air again in Beijing.描述可知這個裝置是用來凈化空氣的，故選B。

3.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段His workplace has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of the capital's parks.可知北京政府同意對他的技術進行測試。故選C

4.最后一段Roosegaarde also reminds us that his aim is not only to give a plan to solve Beijing's dirty air pollution but also to make people pay attention to the environment problem.描述，可知他不僅希望解決污染問題還希望人們注意環(huán)境問題。故選A。

考點：環(huán)境保護類短文閱讀。
