纽约计划叫停中央公园马车游览


New York City wants to stop horse carriages (马车) in Central Park by 2028. Many people say the work is bad for horses. A horse had a bad accident (事故) before. A visitor died. 

Now, city leaders want to stop the horse carriages. The drivers are sad and angry. They will lose their jobs. They say the carriages are an old tradition (传统) in New York. 

City leaders want to keep the horses safe. Many visitors want to see the park in other ways.

1.1. When will New York City stop the horse carriages?

A By 2028.

B By 2038.

C By 2082.

D

解析:选A。A 细节理解题。原文第一句明确提到 “New York City wants to stop horse carriages in Central Park by 2028”,即纽约市希望在2028年前停止中央公园的马车游览,因此A项 “By 2028” 正确。B“By 2038”和C“By 2082”都与原文时间不符。故选A。

2.2. Why are the drivers sad and angry?

A They will lose jobs.

B They don’t like horses.

C They have no money.

D

解析:选A。A 细节理解题。原文第二段明确提到 “The drivers are sad and angry. They will lose their jobs.”,即马车夫们伤心、生气,因为他们将失去工作,因此A项 “They will lose jobs” 正确。B“他们不喜欢马”文中未说;C“他们没有钱”也不是原文直接说明的原因。故选A。

3.3. What do city leaders want to do?

A Ride more horses.

B Leave New York.

C Keep the horses safe.

D

解析:选C。C 细节理解题。原文提到 “City leaders want to keep the horses safe.”,即城市领导者希望保护马的安全。因此C项 “Keep the horses safe” 最符合命题意图。A“骑更多马”与“see the park in other ways”相反;B“离开纽约”文中没有依据。故选C。

4.4. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A A safe new park.

B New York horse carriages.

C Visitors in Central Park.

D

解析:选B。B 主旨大意题。全文围绕纽约市计划禁止中央公园的马车游览展开,介绍了原因、马车夫的反应以及游客想用其他方式游园等内容,因此B项 “New York horse carriages” 能概括全文主要内容。A“一个安全的新公园”不是全文重点;C“中央公园的游客”范围过大,也没有突出“禁止马车”这一核心。故选B。
