六、阅读理解（共15小题，计30分）
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A
Walk to school every day? That will work, but not if you like to sleep in. If you like bad smells and crowding, the bus might be your choice. But why not a bicycle? A bicycle will get you there faster than your feet and will save your money.
This is why you see more bicycles than any other kind of transportation in China, about 650 million of them. That’s about half of the people in the whole country. But if you survey your class at school, you probably will find a higher rate(比率).
Bicycles become popular because they are fun for people and at the same time help develop a strong body.
No vehicle is better than a bicycle for enjoying an autumn weekend outside the city with parents or friends. You can travel on small, quiet paths. You can also park your bicycle beside the path wherever you want to stop to admire the beauty.
Cycling every day helps people build healthier hearts and stronger muscles. Scientists say a 30-minute ride every day can help you lose weight.
Today, bicycles are also popular with city planners. They see bicycles as a good way to reduce heavy traffic. Unlike buses, bicycles produce no exhaust(废气)and don’t burn energy. Many countries are encouraging more daily use of bicycles.
46. According to the passage, how many students in your class probably go to school by bicycle? (Suppose(假设) there are 50 students in your class.)
A. About 20
B. About 30

D. About 15
