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 true according to the passage?
选项
A、An increase in free parks is two-edged.
B、There were 99 free parks in Shanghai before April 1,2005.
C、Shanghai spent more than 3 per cent of its GDP for the "National Garden City" award in 2004.
D、Shanghai’s goal is to increase its green area to more than 204 million square meters.
答案
C
解析
这是一道综合理解并需要计算的题。上海在2005年4月1日又开了23家免费公园,从而使总数达到122家。显然此前上海只有99家。上海花了GDP的3%是用于环境保护,不是仅仅为了获奖。因此C是错的。
