Question

Liverpool city council (市政廳) want to clear the city of fat pigeons (鴿子). They say that people are feeding the birds, which makes them fat. The pigeons get bigger because they normally eat seeds (種子) and insects (昆蟲) for their main food, not high-fat junk food they are eating in the city centre.
The council want people to know that everyone who feeds the pigeons makes the streets crowded (擁擠)with these birds. They hope to encourage the birds to move away from the city centre and into parks and open spaces.
Ten robotic birds have been brought into the city centre to scare the pigeons away and visitors are asked not to give the pigeons any food. The mechanical birds—known as ‘robops’—will sit on the roofs of buildings. They can be moved around to different places. They look like a peregrine falcon, which is a bird that kills pigeons. They even make noises and flap their wings to scare the pigeons. They hope that the pigeons will go away before the city becomes the European Capital of Culture in two years.

點評：細節理解題可以分為集中型細節理解題和分散型細節理解題。集中型：就文章的單個細節提問，答案在原文中出現的位置一般也位于單句話或幾句話中。因為具體細節不同，出題形式千變萬化，因題而異。分散型：題目涉及到文章某一段或幾段，甚至貫穿全文的各個位置，需要考生尋找文章中的多個細節。請注意，分散型細節理解題并不意味著題目的正確答案出現在文章的不同位置，正確答案往往也是關于文章的某一個句子或細節。只是說文章的干擾選項是關于不同的細節，需要我們在定位的時候閱讀某一個區域。
