The Orfordness Lighthouse, in Suffolk, is 10 meters from the sea after the gap halved over the past four years. Nicholas Gold, of the Orfordness Lighthouse Trust, said a £10,000 appeal had been set up [l]for urgent repairs. Storms forecast for this week pose a "real risk" of causing "significant damage" to the lighthouse. "If the work is not carried out in the next few weeks, the lighthouse will, in all likelihood, not be standing in a year’s time," said Mr. Gold.
The lighthouse was purchased by Mr. Gold three years ago from Trinity House, the country’s general lighthouse authority. The Trust has spent £20,000 upholding the sea defences over the past two years. But it said a long-term solution was necessary involving building a steel wall around the front of the lighthouse and its outbuildings—at a cost of about £190,000.
1 What is the purpose of raising the money of £10,000?
2 What has the Trust done to the lighthouse?
选项
A、To build a new lighthouse.
B、To fix the existing lighthouse.
C、To purchase a moveable lighthouse.
D、To pay for Mr. Gold.
答案
B
解析
题目询问筹集1万英镑的用途。新闻开头介绍位于萨福克郡的奥福德内斯灯塔距海边仅10米,奥福德内斯灯塔信托基金会呼吁建立了一个1万英镑的基金用于灯塔的紧急维修(urgent repairs),故B“维修现有灯塔”正确。
