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、A low interest loan scheme.
B、Environmentalists’ protests.
C、Taxi passengers’ complaints.
D、Permission for car advertising.
答案
A
解析
题目问是什么促成了这个改变的发生。录音中1段提到,要求撤掉老旧出租车的新法规出台后,政府联合三家银行发起了低息贷款计划,以让司机可以买新车。换言之,即低息贷款计划有助于推进旧车换新车的实施,故A为本题答案。C中的关键词complaints出自录音末尾,但报道说的是来自司机,而非乘客的抱怨,B“环保人士的抗议”在录音中未提及。新闻里说在新车上打广告有助于司机偿还车款,但最关键的还是低息贷款计划,故D不对。
