Beijing-Beijing is to spend up to US $20 billion to change the Chinese capital into a 21st-century one for the 2008 Olympics.
The government managed to host the 2008 games. The general aim is for Beijing to have the same environmental standards as Paris, London or Washington by 2008.
Hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent to pipe natural gas to the city’s homes, taking away dirty coal burning gradually while 60,000 buses will be changed to liquefied gas.
The money will also be used for relocating the polluting factories and building green belts. By 2008 around 90 percent of Beijing’s waste will be treated, compared to only 40 percent at present.
Olympic officials realize the city has a long way to go to match the environmental standard of such cities as Paris, Toronto, Istanbul and Osaka.
City officials have already announced that around 50 large projects are being dealt with to improve traffic congestion(拥挤) and cut down pollution. They include construction of Beijing’s first light railway, a 40.5-kilometer line which is expected to be completed in 2005.
Beijing plans to build an 82.55-kilometer long subway to existing 53 kilometers. Nine major roads will be rebuilt or widened.
Beijing also plans to build a 70-meter-wide green belt along the waterways to protect water quality as well as increase the green areas.

1.C 细节题。出处:第三段to pipe natural gas to the city’s homes, taking away dirty coal burning.天然气取代烧煤(目的是减少污染)。 2.A 词义猜测题。locate意为“位于”re-意为“重新、再”,故relocate意为“迁移”。 3.A 综合判断题、数字计算题。50项大型工程为了改善交通拥挤和减少污染,延长地铁线工程当然也属其中的项目。B项数字计算错误,应为135.55公里。C项错:第一条轻轨线长4.05米,还没修建成,D项错,因为绿化带应是净化空气。 4.B 综合判断题。21世纪的北京将举办奥运会并与Paris, London, Washington齐名,故北京应为环保的现代化的大都市。 |

She was a lovely and pretty girl but now Liu Siying's seriously burnt face and hands tell people that she might never be happy again. On January 23, 2001, the 12-year-old fifth-grade primary school pupil from Central China's Henan Province was taken by her mother to Bei-jing's Tian' anmen Square, believing she would enter“Falun World”. There the two set themselves on fire. She said she was told,“the flames Can't hurt you. They will only pass through your body and you will reach heaven in the twinkling of an eye. It's a wonderful world. You could become a religious queen and many people will serve you.”She said her mother and other Falun Gong practitioners said this to encourage her to set herself on fire. However, the flames changed everything. The pain and fear made the young girl cry out for help. She was rescued by the police and sent to Jishuitan Hospital, China's leading hospital for treating burnt patients.
The hospital found the girl had burns to 40 percent of her body and burns to her face. A healthy girl has been physically damaged for life. Siying had been a well-behaved girl. Her mother told her to practise Falun Gong last March and she became acquainted(熟悉) with a number of Falun Gong practitioners. The followers often praised her for being clever and said that she could become a“religious queen”in heaven. Doctors at the hospital said it was only after 16 hours at the hospital that the shock caused by the burns was controlled. Her head was bandaged and she was given a skin-transplant operation on her left hand.
The girl said she set herself on fire because she was“going to heaven”. She said she no longer believed in Falun Gong and that she had been fooled.
Scores of days later, she died in the hospital.
