The deal signed by the majority of Australia state and central governments is about
The majority of Australia state and central governments have signed a deal to safeguard the country’s water resources. A multi-million dollar scheme to revive one of its most important river basins has also been approved.
Australia is the world’s driest continent. There’s general agreement that the country has to use water more efficiently. In many parts supplies are in crisis.
At the heart of the initiative is a 350-million-dollar scheme to revitalize the Murray Darling river basin. It’s one of the most important water courses in the country and stretches across four states in south-eastern Australia. In recent times, it’s been badly affected by excessive irrigation and a lack of rain.
There was a concern, however, that projects to help revive other struggling rivers will not be funded. A special commission is to be set up and will help develop the trade in water between the states and territories.
Domestic consumers could soon face permanent restrictions, such as the perilous state of supplies in many parts of the country. Whilst there was broad agreement in Canberra, the Premier of Western Australia, Geoff Gallop, refused to sign the deal, insisting it did nothing to address the problems his region faces.
选项
A、to set up a commission to help develop the trade in water.
B、to revive all the most important rivers in the country.
C、to deal with the water pollution in some parts of the country.
D、to preserve the country’s water resources.
答案
D
解析
录音开头提到,The majority of Australia state和central governments已经签署协议来保卫国家的水资源,D项意思与此相符,只不过用了preserve来替换safeguard。选项B似在录音原文中有提到,但是“revive”的对象不是所有重要的河流,因此可以排除该选项。
