Cairo is known for its overcrowded roads, irregular driving practices and shaky old vehicles, but also for its air pollution. In recent months, though, environmental studies indicate there have been signs of improvement That’s due in part to the removal of many of the capital’s old-fashioned black and white taxis. Most of these dated back to the 1960s and 70s and were in a poor state of repair.
After new legislation demanded their removal from the roads, a low interest loan scheme was set up with three Egyptian banks so drivers could buy new cars. The government pays about $900 for old ones to be discarded and advertising on the new vehicles helps cover repayments.
The idea has proved popular with customers—they can now travel in air-conditioned comfort and because the new cabs are metered, they don’t have to argue over fares. Banks and car manufacturers are glad for the extra business in tough economic times. As for the taxi drivers, most are delighted to be behind the wheel of new cars, although there have been a few complaints about switching from black and white to a plain white colour.
5. What change took place in Cairo recently?
6. What helped bring about the change?
7. Why do customers no longer argue with new cab drivers?
选项
A、There are no more irregular practices.
B、All new cabs provide air-conditioning.
C、New cabs are all equipped with meters.
D、New legislation protects consumer rights.
答案
C
解析
题目问乘客为何不再跟新车司机讨价还价。录音后段提到乘客欢迎“旧车换新车”的实施,原因之一是由于新车装有咪表,他们无须再跟司机讨价还价。录音是meter的动词用法,表示“使……用表计价”,C项为该处录音的同义表达,故为答案。录音中并没有说司机因此改掉驾驶陋习,故排除A。B虽然也是乘客喜欢新车的原因之一,但并非乘客不再跟司机议价的原因,B答非所问。D“新法规保护了消费者权益”在录音中未提及。
