问题 资料：A new Chinese-led international development bank announced its first four loans on Saturday, pledging to lend $509 million for projects to spread electric power in rural Bangladesh, upgrade living conditions in slums in Indonesia, and improve roads in Pakistan and Tajikistan. At the first of the annual general meetings of in institution, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, the bank’s president, Jin Liqun, said the projects were financially sound and environmentally friendly and had been accepted by the people in the project areas.The road in Tajikistan is just three miles long, but it will help clear traffic congestion on an important trading route near the capital, Dushanbe. A $100 million loan to Pakistan is for 40 miles of highway in Punjab Province that would complete the last section of national artery, the M-4, the bank said.Three of the projects are being financed with other institutions-the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank, and the European bank for Reconstruction and Development-an approach that allowed the new bank to begin the projects quickly. The bank’s $165 million loan to expand electricity in rural areas of Bangladesh is its only stand-alone project. By financing projects with long-established institutions, the Beijing-based bank was able to move quickly because work on meeting environmental standards and procurement policies had been completed, staff members at the bank said.Although the new bank was China’s idea, it is intended to operate as an international bank dedicated to improving the basic structures and facilities needed to stimulate development across Asia, Mr. Jin said at a news conference on Saturday. Unlike the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank places less emphasis on the reduction of poverty, he said. The bank “ was born with the birthmark  of China, but its upbringing is international,” Mr. Jin said. Referring to the three other institutions that will finance the projects, he said, “we can work wonderfully together.” The new bank is being watched closely. The United States refused to join when it was offered membership in 2014. Japan has also not sought membership in the bank. But President Obama’s administration was mostly concerned that the bank would challenge the current development architecture, the Bretton Woods system established under the leadership of the United States after World WarⅡ. In the past year, Mr. Jin has worked to reassure Washington, largely by agreeing to choose projects that have already been approved by the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the European Bank. He has also emphasized that the new bank will be more streamlined and strive to be “lean, green and clean.” Britain was the most eager of the Western democracies to join the bank, and it broke ranks with the United States and became a member in the fall of 2014. Other members of the European Union, including France and Germany, rushed in after Britain. The withdrawal of Britain from the European Union is not expected to affect its relationship with the bank, Mr. Jin said. “ I believe the United Kingdom will continue to play an important role in the development of the bank, ”he said at the news conference. Asked if he believed that Britain’s decision showed that the old guard was crumbling quicker than he expected, Mr. Jin diplomatically replied that he had detected no such..（缺失） Two dozen countries have expressed interest in joining the bank, and they sent observers to the two-day meeting, Mr. Jin said. The new members would come from Eastern Europe, Latin America, and could join as early as （缺失）year.About the four projects, which one of the following statements is false? （  ）A.The project will only improve road in Tajikistan by three miles but it will do great help.B.Local people welcome the projects.C.The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank can start the projects quickly with the finance of other institutions.D.The project in Bangladesh is also financed with other institutions.

【关键词】four projects; false
【主题句】第二段The road in Tajikistan is just three miles long, but it will help clear traffic congestion on an important trading route near the capital, Dushanbe.（在塔吉克斯坦的道路只有三英里长,但它将帮助清除在首都杜尚别附近的一条重要的贸易路线的交通拥堵。） 第一段the projects were financially sound and environmentally friendly and had been accepted by the people in the project areas.该项目经济安全、保护环境，被当地人民广泛接受。
第三段Three of the projects are being financed with other institutions-the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank, and the European bank for Reconstruction and Development-an approach that allowed the new bank to begin the projects quickly.（其中三个项目正在同时被其他几所机构资助—亚洲开发银行、世界银行和欧洲复兴开发银行,这个方法能够使新银行快速开展项目。）
第三段The bank’s $165 million loan to expand electricity in rural areas of Bangladesh is its only stand-alone project.（该银行的1.65亿美元贷款被用于扩大孟加拉国农村地区的电力，这是该银行唯一的独立项目。）
【解析】本题问“关于这四个项目，哪个描述是错误的？” 选项A意为“这个项目只会改善塔吉克斯坦三英里的道路，但会有很大的帮助”；选项B意为“当地人欢迎这些项目”；选项C意为“亚洲基础设施投资银行可以利用其他机构的资金快速启动项目”；选项D意为“孟加拉国的项目也由其他机构提供资金”。
根据主题句可知，孟加拉国的项目是亚洲基础设施投资银行唯一的独立项目，没有其他机构协助，故选项D错误。
