　　【试题】

　　[3]The village of merit in Alaska voted on Tuesday to move to the state's mainland. The move is due to global warming and rising sea levels. Most of the villages, 169 registered voters, took part in the town hall meeting. They decided in a vote of 89 to 78 to move from their land on sarah's half island near the Arctic circle. Mayor council secretary Donna Barr said the vote was largely symbolic.It will be costly financially to the community. About 15 years ago, they estimated the cost at $180 million. [4]I would figure it's much higher now, Barr said, we don't see the move happening in our lifetime because of the funding. The villages, roughly 650 residents have seen warming temperatures melt sea ice and permanently frozen land. This has resulted in houses falling into the water. At least 31 villages in Alaska face immediate threats due to climate change. The Government Accountability Office reported in 2009.

　　Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.

　　Question 3, what is Mary's vote on Tuesday about?

　　Question 4, why did Donna Barr say they wouldn't see the plan carried out any time soon?

　　【答案】

　　(见上文划线部分)

　　【解析】

　　Q3. 根据听力问题中的关键词“The village of merit in Alaska voted on Tuesday to move to the state's mainland.” 和“The move is due to global warming and rising sea levels.”可知，该投票的内容是关于气候原因所导致的居民迁徙问题。

　　Q4. 根据听力问题中的关键词“It will be costly financially to the community.”和“I would figure it's much higher now, Barr said, we don't see the move happening in our lifetime because of the funding. ”可知，由于该计划需要庞大的资金，成本大幅上涨，故无法快速实施。

　　【听力述评】

　　本篇文章属于当今社会的热点话题-环境问题。主要表述全球变暖现象所导致的对人类生存环境的威胁以及人们目前的应对措施。同学们经常能在新闻中听见这方面话题的报道，所以话题并不生涩，故此题整体难度不大。
