问题    From Kartik Dhara’s home, the trucks at the top of the garbage mountain look like the toys he sees city children playing with on his rounds of Kolkata. 【F1】A garbage truck driver in the eastern Indian city, he can’t afford to buy toys for his own children, but he often finds discarded ones where he unloads rubbish every day. "You can find everything there," he says.
   "There are truckloads of smuggled chocolates or medicines that the excise department finds. I’ve even found money and gold. I keep it in my house. When I’m in a time of need, when there’s a big difficulty in my life, I’ll sell it and I’ll use the money."
   Dhara is one of around 30,000 people who live on and around Kolkata’s landfill site at Dhaka. Garbage collectors like Dhara clean up after the city’s 4.5 million people, and dump around four thousand metric tonnes of waste at Dhaka every day. A garbage processing industry has since sprung up on the site. 【F2】In the slums at the base of the mountains of rubbish, hundreds of people make a living as ragpickers or scrap dealers, by sorting the waste and recycling.
   【F3】Living and working on the landfill comes with serious health hazards that successive state and central governments continue to ignore. Inextinguishable fires burn all day and night, which pollute the air. 【F4】They are so ubiquitous that the workers no longer complain about the fumes, and municipal authorities don’t bother to put them out.
   With acres of cheap, unbuilt land so close to the city, Kolkata’s poorest people end up here hoping to make a living. Wages are low, and living conditions are cramped and unhygienic. Most people live and work in the same room.
   【F5】Urban development projects may have improved the city, but critics say they have done little to improve the lives of the people who feed and clean up after its residents. "Go and look at New Town," says Raju Yadav, a farmer who lives near the landfill site. "It’s like New York. Of course I support the government. They’ve made our Kolkata look like London. So what if they haven’t done anything for us? They can’t work for particular people; they have to work for the whole city, for all its residents."
   Chatterjee, who oversees the Kolkata Municipal Corporation, says his government does not have the funds to manage the landfill site at Dhaka. "Being mayor, I want to see the landfill site but where do I get the money?
【F5】
选项
答案城市开发项目也许改善了城市，但是批评家认为，对于那些清扫居民的垃圾、比平常居民进食更晚的劳动者来说，这些项目并没有为他们的生活作出太大改善。
解析 ①本句是并列句，其中分句2包含一个宾语从句和一个定语从句。分句1是一个简单的主谓宾结构。②分句2也是一个主谓宾结构，其宾语由省略了引导词that的宾语从句充当。该宾语从句也是一个主谓宾结构，they指代分句1提及的urban development projects，宾语从句是现在完成时(have done little to improve．．．)。③该宾语从句中，包含一个由who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词the people，who在从句中既是引导词又是主语。feed and clean up after its residents，这里的its residents指代城市的普通居民，与从句所修饰的the people不是同一类人。
