From Kartik Dhara’s home, the trucks at the top of the garbage mountain look like the toys he sees city children playing with on his rounds of Kolkata. 【F1】
A garbage truck driver in the eastern Indian city, he can’t afford to buy toys for his own children, but he often finds discarded ones where he unloads rubbish every day.
"You can find everything there," he says.
"There are truckloads of smuggled chocolates or medicines that the excise department finds. I’ve even found money and gold. I keep it in my house. When I’m in a time of need, when there’s a big difficulty in my life, I’ll sell it and I’ll use the money."
Dhara is one of around 30,000 people who live on and around Kolkata’s landfill site at Dhaka. Garbage collectors like Dhara clean up after the city’s 4.5 million people, and dump around four thousand metric tonnes of waste at Dhaka every day. A garbage processing industry has since sprung up on the site. 【F2】
In the slums at the base of the mountains of rubbish, hundreds of people make a living as ragpickers or scrap dealers, by sorting the waste and recycling.
【F3】
Living and working on the landfill comes with serious health hazards that successive state and central governments continue to ignore.
Inextinguishable fires burn all day and night, which pollute the air. 【F4】
They are so ubiquitous that the workers no longer complain about the fumes, and municipal authorities don’t bother to put them out.
With acres of cheap, unbuilt land so close to the city, Kolkata’s poorest people end up here hoping to make a living. Wages are low, and living conditions are cramped and unhygienic. Most people live and work in the same room.
【F5】
Urban development projects may have improved the city, but critics say they have done little to improve the lives of the people who feed and clean up after its residents.
"Go and look at New Town," says Raju Yadav, a farmer who lives near the landfill site. "It’s like New York. Of course I support the government. They’ve made our Kolkata look like London. So what if they haven’t done anything for us? They can’t work for particular people; they have to work for the whole city, for all its residents."
Chatterjee, who oversees the Kolkata Municipal Corporation, says his government does not have the funds to manage the landfill site at Dhaka. "Being mayor, I want to see the landfill site but where do I get the money?
【F1】
选项
答案
达拉是这个印度东部城市的一名垃圾车司机,他没钱给自己的孩子买玩具,但是他在每天卸载垃圾的地方常常能够找到被遗弃的玩具。
解析
①本句是并列复合句,其中分句2包含一个地点状语从句。分句1中,A garbage truck driver in the eastern Indian city作为he的同位语,说明he是印度东部城市的一名垃圾车司机。②分句1和分句2都是主谓宾结构。分句2的discarded ones中ones指代分句1中的toys,意为“被遗弃的玩具”。③地点状语从句where he unloads rubbish也是一个简单的主谓宾结构,where指代的是前文提到的the garbage mountain。
