［3］Almost half the center of Paris will be accessible only by foot or bicycle this Sunday to mark World Car-Free Day. ［4］This is in response to rising air pollution that made Paris the most polluted city in the world for a brief time. Mayor Anne Hidalgo promoted the first World Car-Free Day last year.
Hidalgo also has supported a “Paris Breathes” day. On the first Sunday of every month, Paris clears traffic from eight lanes of the main road. About 400 miles of streets will be closed to cars. It is expected to bring significant reduction in pollution levels. Last year’s car-free day showed a 40％ drop in pollution levels in some parts of the city, according to an independent air pollution monitor, reports The Guardian, and sound levels dropped by 50％ in the city’s center.
Question 3 What will happen on World Car- Free Day in Paris? 新闻开头提到,本周日,为了纪念世界无车日,巴黎市中心近一半地区将只能步行或骑自行车进入。新闻后面对类似举措（巴黎呼吸日)进行了详细描述：每个月的第一个周日,巴黎都会疏散主干道八个车道上的车辆,大约400英里的街道将禁止汽车通行。因此,选项B的说法与新闻内容一致,故为正确答案。世界无车日,只有市中心近一半地区禁止汽车通行,而非整个城市,选项A错误。其余两项新闻并未提及,也可排除。
