An increase in free parks in Shanghai might be pleasant, but they bring with them their own problems. There are already 122 free parks for citizens to enjoy. But visitors are often hassled by beggars and fortune-tellers, and put off by the smell of urine left behind by someone using the grass as a toilet.
Law and order in free parks are also worrying the city’s park operators. They couldn’t take any mandatory measures on those who do indecent things in parks except to try to persuade them to stop according to local regulations on park operations, which were laid out many years ago and many parts are not in line with the need for maintenance of the increasing number of free parks. Patrols could be introduced to help park managers.
On April 1,2005, Shanghai opened 23 new free parks, bringing the total number of such parks to 122.
A lack of cash has also hindered park operations. The local government has allowed for subsidies to cover the cost of not charging for tickets, but attendance is often more than expected, adding to maintenance and security costs.
Many parks manage to be self-supporting by running businesses such as convenient stores and cafeterias. Some also rent out areas to companies who want to do outdoor promotions. But the bottom line is that parks should be comfortable places for visitors and should not be turned into outdoor markets.
As well as not charging for tickets, parks are cutting back on staff, having a few staff members for daily operations. Most construction and maintenance jobs are commissioned to enterprises through public bidding so as to evaluate costs in a transparent and economical way.
So far, more than 12,000 citizens are working as volunteers to help with park operations in Shanghai.
Shanghai has spent more than 3 per cent of its GDP on environmental protection in recent years. Its heavy expenditure in landscaping also paid off as it won the "National Garden City" award last year.
Shanghai’s goal is to increase its green area to 12 square metres per capita. It now has more than 17 million permanent residents.
Which of the following is NOT a problem in the free parks in Shanghai?
选项
A、Visitors are often entangled by the beggars and fortune-tellers.
B、Regulations on park operations are no longer adaptable.
C、Parks don’t have enough money for the operations.
D、There are too many toilets in the free parks.
答案
D
解析
本题是要求通过阅读了解具体信息。文章的第一,二段主要讲的是开放免费公园带来的种种问题。游客被那些算命的纠缠(第一段),过去的法规不适合现今的免费公园管理(第二段),不收门票导致公园经费紧张(第二段)。公园厕所太多,并未提到,只是有人在草地上随地大小便才是问题(第一段)。因此应该选D。这题主要考学生在不同的段落中捕捉所需的信息。
