Roosegaarde, an artist and designer from Dutch has thought of a device(装置). He hopes it will make Beijing's sky clear again and help the people with masks breathe fresh air again in Beijing.
An electromagnetic field(电磁场) will pull the dirty particles in the air to the ground, and then they can be easily cleaned.
Roosegaarde says, "It's like when you have a balloon which has static electricity(静电) and your hair goes toward it. Smog happens the same way as the hair."
His workplace has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of the capital's parks. Beijing's skies are regularly covered by grey smog. Serious cases of air pollution are often reported in Beijing. Roosegaarde says an indoor test has already shown it works well and he is confident of the results. With the help of a team of scientists and engineers, he is sure that the device can be worked outside.
"Beijing is a very good place to test the device because the smog in Beijing is quite low and there's not so much wind." says Roosegaarde. "We'll be able to make the air pure but the most difficult thing is to remove the smog. As a result, you can see the sun again."
Roosegaarde also reminds us that his aim is not only to give a plan to solve Beijing's dirty air pollution but also to make people pay attention to the environment problem. He adds, "This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer to do with it is clean cars, different industry and different lifestyles. " However, he hopes the project will make the citizens realize the differences between clean air and smog-filled air.

题目分析：这篇短文主要介绍了荷兰人Roosegaarde设置了一种装置。他希望利用这种装置净化空气还人们清新的空气，他也希望人们注意环境问题。
小题1:细节理解题。根据短文第二段An electromagnetic field(电磁场) will pull the dirty particles in the air to the ground, and then they can be easily cleaned.描述可知这个设备的是通过电磁场把脏的颗粒吸到地面。然后他们很容易被弄干净。故选B
小题2:细节理解题。根据第一段He hopes it will make Beijing's sky clear again and help the people with masks breathe fresh air again in Beijing.描述可知这个装置是用来净化空气的，故选B。
小题3:细节理解题。根据第四段His workplace has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of the capital's parks.可知北京政府同意对他的技术进行测试。故选C
小题4:细节理解题。根据最后一段Roosegaarde also reminds us that his aim is not only to give a plan to solve Beijing's dirty air pollution but also to make people pay attention to the environment problem.描述，可知他不仅希望解决污染问题还希望人们注意环境问题。故选A。
