Question

Dear Mayor,
I would like to draw your attention to the depressing state of the environment in our city. Increased vehicles have made the air polluted. Citizens find it difficult to breathe. Dumping toxic chemicals into the river has polluted the drinking water and ground water.
All of us, as concerned citizens, have discussed these problems in various meetings. We have come up with the following proposals（提議）.
The green roads are no longer green. Many trees and bushes have been cut. We propose restricting the movement of vehicles. Besides, we should make it compulsory（強(qiáng)制性的）to use anti-pollution devices on all vehicles. We should also plant more plants and trees along roads.
The Bada Nadi River has become a dumping ground of toxic chemicals from some factories. These toxic chemicals have killed nearly all the life in the river and polluted our drinking water and ground water. We propose that the Bada Nadi River be declared a protected water body. All the dumping should be banned and heavy fine should be imposed on the offenders（違法者）. To tackle the problem of managing toxic waste, we propose setting up a water treatment plant so that only clean water is discharged into the river. Cleaning up the river and introducing various fishes and plants to the river will bring it back to life.
Lastly, the noise pollution caused by honking（鳴）horns and blaring loudspeakers has caused distress to one and all. Many people have suffered from noise-related illnesses. We propose a blanket ban on the use of loudspeakers. And“no horn zones”should also be declared in residential hospitals and school areas.
I would request you to seriously consider our proposals and act accordingly.
Thank you!
Sincerely yours,
A kind-hearted citizen

試題分析：本文敘述了作者關(guān)于解決城市環(huán)境惡劣向市長提的幾條建議。為了保護(hù)拿帝河，作者建議應(yīng)該禁止傾倒有毒垃圾而且對(duì)所有違法者沉重的罰款。對(duì)于處理有毒垃圾作者建議建立一個(gè)污水處理廠,因此只有干凈的水排入河里。關(guān)于噪音污染，作者提出一個(gè)完全禁止使用高音喇叭。
小題1:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的I would like to draw your attention to the depressing state of the environment in our city.可知作者認(rèn)為我們城市的環(huán)境處于令人沮喪的狀態(tài)，所以作者因環(huán)境差而抱怨。
故選B。
小題2:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段的All the dumping should be banned and heavy fine should be imposed on the offenders（違法者）.可知為了保護(hù)拿帝河，作者建議應(yīng)該禁止傾倒有毒垃圾而且對(duì)所有違法者沉重的罰款。故選D。    
小題3:詞義猜測(cè)題。we propose setting up a water treatment plant so that only clean water is discharged into the river. 我們建議建立一個(gè)污水處理廠,因此只有干凈的水排入河里，從中可知這是作者提出的處理有毒垃圾的建議。故選B。
