While students in Hainan are quite used to clear skies, Beijing teenagers are not so lucky. As another warm winter approaches, the city can expect the normal clouds of smoke caused by air pollution.
But things could start to get better soon. The government is co-operating with a US-based environmental protection agency to update existing buses and trucks with clean fuel technology. The new technology could reduce air pollutants in existing diesel vehicles (柴油機) by 40 per cent. The programme will begin by testing buses in Beijing to see if the technology can be applied to them.
“We encourage the development of public transportation. But at the same time we need to reduce pollution from them,” said an official.
Efforts are being made to improve the capital’s environment with tighter controls on emissions (排放). Some heavily polluting factories and construction sites, such as those owned by the steel giant Shougang Group, have been asked to cut production in November and December or be closed.
Beijing was the third polluted city in the world at the end of last century, according to the UN. But thanks to recent measures, the capital has made some progress. Last year 224 clear days were rated as having good air quality. In 1998 the air quality index (指數(shù)) gave just 100 days as good.
“I am glad to see an improvement,” said a Senior 1 boy living in the northwest of Beijing. “Compared to other places, the air quality of Beijing is still worrying though. I hate the pollution. Once I was riding my bike in the morning when I almost had a traffic accident because I couldn’t see a car only metres away from me in frog.”
In early October, the skies were covered by such a thick fog that a display show by the visiting French air force was called off.
Rapid development, industry, traffic fumes (煙) and sandstorms from the desert all contribute to the city’s bad air.
The passage is mainly about ________?
A. a programme to improve Beijing’s air quality
B. progress made in Beijing’s air quality
C. Beijing’s air pollution
D. the difference between Hainan and Beijing
Which of the following is not the measure taken or to be taken to improve Beijing’s air?
A. Clean fuel technology will be used in public transportation.
B. Some factories have been asked to cut production.
C. Some construction sites have been told to be closed.
D. A display show of airplanes has been called off.
We can infer from the passage that, with the aim of being an ecological (生態(tài)的) city by the 2008 Olympics, ________.
A. far more still needs to be done
B. nothing else needs to be done
C. all traffic has to be closed
D. the development of the city has to be slowed down
Which is not correct according to the passage?
A. Beijing’s air quality is getting worse and worse.
B. Development, industry, traffic fumes and sandstorms are all the causes of bad air quality.
C. Clouds of smoke in the sky is the common feature in the winter of Beijing.
D. The government is making every effort to stop air pollution.

【小題4】A
【小題1】C 主旨大意題。通讀全文我們不難發(fā)現(xiàn)作者是在談?wù)摗氨本┑目諝馕廴尽。A、B兩項表示的是政府在治理過程中的措施和進展。D項明顯不符文意。
【小題2】D 細(xì)節(jié)歸納題。航空飛行表演是因為濃霧被取消,這不是治理空氣污染的措施,恰恰是空氣污染造成的結(jié)果。
【小題3】A 推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文中一位高一男生所說的:盡管在治理方面取得了一些進展,但仍然令人擔(dān)憂(the air quality of Beijing is still worrying though),由此可推斷:到2008年北京奧運會時北京要達到生態(tài)城市的目標(biāo),治理工作任重道遠(yuǎn)。
【小題4】A 細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)短文第五段“But thanks to recent measures, the capital has made some progress”可知,北京的空氣質(zhì)量比以前有所改善。去年空氣質(zhì)量指數(shù)達到良的為224天,而1998年只有100天。

As nanny(保姆), cook, cleaner, shopper, driver, and gardener, she has one of the most demanding jobs in Britain today. And paying someone else to do the chores(家務(wù)活) which take the average housewife 71 hours a week would cost ?349.
At over ?18,000 a year that’s more than the earnings of 70 percent of the population, including train drivers, firemen, prison officers, and social worker. Looking after a baby less than a year old takes a housewife into a even higher pay league. According to a stud, she earns ?457 a week – at nearly ?24,000 a year, the same as teachers, engineers, and chemists.
Researchers put a price on each chore, then tried to find out how long the average person takes doing them. They found housewives spend an average 70.7 hours a week on housework – with looking after the children (17.9hours) and cooking and cleaning (12.9 hours each) the most time-consuming(費時).
A wife with a part-time job still works and average of 59 hours a week at home. Those in full-time employment put in longer hours at home than in the workplace. The good news is that these hours sharply as children get older. While the average mother with child under one puts in 90 hours weekly, the figure drops to 80 hours from one to four and to 66 hours from five to ten.
Mother-of-four Karen Williams from London said, “Paying the housewives may not be practical, but the government should recognize the value of housework, perhaps through the tax. Running a house takes a lot of time and most husbands don’t understand this. For example, my husband only puts a shelf up now and again. He never cleans the kitchen – that’s the real test.”
Who earns most according to the text?
A. A social worker. B. A fireman.
C. A gardener. D. A teacher.
We lean from the text that looking after children ______.
A. takes more time than doing any other housework
B. means more duties than being a teacher
C. requires the mother to be well-educated
D. prevents the mother from working outside
According to the text, a housewife with a baby less than one year old may work _____.
A. 66 hours a week B. 71 hours a week
C. 80 hours a week D. 90 hours a week
By mentioning her husband, Karen Williams wants to show that ______.
A. housework is no easy job
B. her husband has no time to clean the kitchen
C. a housewife needs to be paid for cleaning
D. the kitchen is hard to clean
