      Chancellor of the Exchequer Gorge Osborne said yesterday he would use the autumn spending review to increase Britain’s ￡12bn-a-year aid budget towards humanitarian (人道主义的)causes in the wake of the European refugee（难民）crisis.        Britain promised to spend 0.7 percent of state general product on aid, meaning the budget could rise sharply by the end of the decade as the economy grows.       Mr Osborne also said more of the aid budget could be given to help local government with housing costs for incomers, without breaking international guidelines.        “We will use the foreign aid budget to help with the costs of these refugees. People ask about the pressure on public services; we’ll have extra money to help with that.”        The government was unable to give a figure for how much aid money could be handed to local authorities; it would depend on how many refugees are accepted.        David Cameron, Prime Minister, will set out his position on aid for refugees today. It is reported that Britain will accept at least 10,000 extra people from camps on the Syria border. He will use a statement in the House of Commons to flesh out plans—announced in Madrid on Friday—to take more people.        A report in The Sunday Times that the UK would take 15 000 Syrians, not far from the 18 000 figure demanded by the EU, was described by “ Downing Street” as a “guess”.        The UK will offer to resettle Syrians directly from refugee camps in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey—but not those who have already reached the EU. 33.What is the main idea of the passage?        A.Britain tried to help refugees.        B.People doubt Britain’s kindness.        C.Britain tried to explain its behavior.        D.Refugees like to live in Britain. 34.Which of the following statements is TRUE?        A.Britain will use foreign money to help refugees.        B.Britain helps refugees following international guidelines.        C.Britain will use foreign money to develop themselves.        D.People ask to use public service money to help refugees. 35.What can we know from the passage?        A.Britain can hold 10 000 refugees at most.        B.The number of refugees to be received is uncertain.        C.House of Commons declare a general plan.        D.Britain can hold 15 000 refugees at most. 答案：ABB
