(26) The mountain town of Canton is at an elevation of 6,000 feet. It is surrounded by thick underbrush and pine trees. Because of six years of drought, these plants are a major fire hazard. Thousands of trees and tons of underbrush are going to be removed over the next five years at a minimum cost of $3 million. The brush will be removed first, and then the trees will be toppled and removed. A cleared nonflammable area will then safely surround the town of 4,000.
Residents look forward to the work, because it will help their town survive a future fire. A recent fire burned 4,000 acres and destroyed 11 homes in nearby Hamilton. The fire was raging toward Canton, but a sudden rainstorm put it out. Residents know that they won’t get lucky twice, so they are looking forward to this massive clearing operation.
(27) Ninety percent of the cutting and clearing will be paid with federal funds. Unfortunately, if the trees are on private property, they must be paid for by the residents themselves. Prices can range as high as $1,000 to cut and remove one tree. Officials say that residents can apply for state and federal loans if necessary.
However, Thelma, a 65-year-old widow, thinks that it does no good to her, because she is living on social security. She has got four trees on her property. (28) Therefore, the government’s not going to loan her money when they know there’s no way she can pay it back. She thinks that these planners with all their big ideas ought to think of the little people.
选项
A、She has the ability to afford only one tree’s removal.
B、She doesn’t want her trees to be removed.
C、She will apply for the state and federal loans.
D、She thinks that the planners are inconsiderate.
答案
D
解析
根据Thelma的话可知她无法承担移植自己拥有的四棵树的费用,而且政府也不大可能会给她贷款,因此她说那些规划者们应该考虑平民的感受,因此D 为本题答案。
