13.A Dutch artist and designer has come up with a device which he hopes will get rid of pollutants from Beijing's smog skies,creating clean air for the city's mask-wearing people.
An electromagnetic field(電磁場(chǎng)) will pull particles(微粒) in the smog to the ground where they can be easily cleaned.
"It's like when you have a balloon which has static(靜電) and your hair goes toward it.Same with the smog,"says artist Daan Roosegaarde.
His studio has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of tile capital's parks.
With its skies regularly covered by dirty gray smog,Beijing this week announced a series of emergency measures to handle the problem.
Roosegaarde says an indoor model device has already proven it works and is confident that the results-with the help of a team of scientists and engineers-can be replicated(復(fù)制的) outside.
"Beijing is quite a good place because the smog in Beijing is quite low.It lies in a valley so there's not so much wind.It's a good environment to explore this kind of thing."
"We'll be able to purify the air and the challenge is to get the top of the smog so you can see the sun again."
Roosegaarde acknowledges that projects like this are a way of drawing attention to the problem,rather than a practical solution to Beijing's awful air pollution.
"This is not the real answer for smog.The real answer has to do with clean cars,different industry and different lifestyles."
However,he hopes the project will make a"fundamental statement"by allowing the city's people to realize the difference between breathing clean and smog-filled air.

分析 一位荷蘭藝術(shù)家兼設(shè)計(jì)師發(fā)明了一種裝置,他希望借此裝置能夠?yàn)楸本熿F籠罩的天空清除污垢,為那些戴著口罩的北京市民創(chuàng)造新鮮的空氣.
解答 32.B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段中文意An electromagnetic field(電磁場(chǎng)) will pull particles(微粒) in the smog to the ground where they can be easily cleaned可知這種裝置的工作原理是通過銅線圈制造的電磁場(chǎng)可以將漂浮于煙塵中的顆粒物吸附到地面上,很輕易的被清理干凈,所以答案是B
33.C.判斷推理題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第四段文意We'll be able to purify the air and the challenge is to get the top of the smog so you can see the sun again.我們可以凈化空氣,但真正的挑戰(zhàn)在于,要將煙塵清除徹底,重見天日可知裝置在凈化空氣,美化環(huán)境方面是很令人期待的,所以答案是C.
34.C.判斷推理題.根據(jù)文意Beijing is quite a good place because the smog in Beijing is quite low.It lies in a valley so there's not so much wind.It's a good environment to explore this kind of thing北京的地形和氣候條件都很適合.空中的煙塵高度很低,而且它地處谷地,空氣流動(dòng)性不強(qiáng).這種地形氣候條件很適合測(cè)試該裝置,所以答案是C.
35.A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由倒數(shù)第三段Roosegaarde acknowledges that projects like this are a way of drawing attention to the problem,rather than a practical solution to Beijing's awful air pollution,可知這個(gè)發(fā)明家希望大家關(guān)注空氣污染并解決它.故選A.
