Question

【題目】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） 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 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.

【1】The device works by _______.

A. helping keep the particles out with more masks

B. pulling pollutants to the ground with an electromagnetic field

C. absorbing hair with a balloon with static

D. creating clean air and let it out into the sky

【2】According to the passage, ______ .

A. the Beijing government has agreed to use the technology in Beijing

B. they have proven the results of the device both indoors and outdoors

C. the results of the air-cleaning device can be expectable

D. the Beijing government has never done anything to handle the air pollution

【3】What does Roosegaarde really mean by saying “Beijing is quite a good place…... ”?

A. The air pollution in Beijing is not quite serious.

B. The weather in Beijing is good for foreigners to live in.

C. Beijing is quite fit for using the air-cleaning device.

D. It is easy to get the top of the smog in Beijing.

【4】Roosegaarde appeals to people in Beijing to ________.

A. pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finally

B. invent more devices to clean the smog in Beijing

C. drive modern cars and try different lifestyles

D. realize how serious the pollution they're facing is

試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了荷蘭人Roosegaarde設(shè)置了一種裝置。他希望利用這種裝置來凈化空氣歸還人們清新的空氣，同時也希望人們注意環(huán)境問題，保護環(huán)境。

【1】B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段An electromagnetic field（電磁場） will pull particles（微粒） in the smog to the ground where they can be easily cleaned. .描述可知這個設(shè)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】C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段he hopes will get rid of pollutants from Beijing's smog skies, creating clean air for the city's mask-wearing people. 描述可知這個裝置是用來凈化空氣的，故選B。

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

【4】A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)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.
