Cairo is known for its overcrowded roads, irregular driving practices and shaky old vehicles, but also for its air pollution.
In recent months, though, environmental studies indicate there have been signs of improvement. That’s due in part to the removal of many of the capital’s old-fashioned black and white taxis
. Most of these dated back to the 1960s and 70s and were in a poor state of repair.
After new legislation demanded their removal from the roads,
a low interest loan scheme was set up with three Egyptian banks so drivers could buy new cars
. The government pays about $900 for old ones to be discarded and advertising on the new vehicles helps cover repayments.
The idea has proved popular with customers—they can now travel in air-conditioned comfort and
because the new cabs are metered, they don’t have to argue over fares
. Banks and car manufacturers 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 few complaints 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?
选项
A、All taxis began to use meters.
B、All taxis got air conditioning.
C、Advertisements were allowed on taxis.
D、Old taxis were replaced with new cabs.
答案
D
解析
题目问开罗最近发生了什么改变。新闻开头先说开罗的交通状况十分糟糕,且空气污染严重,接着话锋一转,说近几个月来有所改善,部分原因是撤掉了许多老旧出租车。D“旧出租车换成了新车”与录音内容相符,为本题答案。报道提到“旧车换成新车”受到乘客欢迎,因为他们如今坐出租车可以享受到空调带来的舒适感,并且由于新车装有眯表,他们无须再跟司机讨价还价。A、B说法过于绝对(All taxis),录音开头只是说撤掉了许多旧出租车(removal of many of...),many并不等同于All。新闻里是说在新车上打广告的收入有助于司机偿还车款。并未提及之前是否允许在出租车上做广告,C的说法缺乏依据。
