AIt is popular to travel by bike in China. China has a huge population. And it is said that there is at least one bike for every two people. Of course, many people in China ride bikes for sport or exercise, but it is also a much more commonly accepted means of everyday transportation, as compared to countries such as the United States.If you are living for a long time in China, chances are that you will want to buy your own bike so that you can use it whenever you want. Even if you don’t use a bike for everyday transportation, owning one can be a great way to enjoy the sights in the countryside. However, if you are just visiting China, renting a bike can be a more convenient choice.It is important to choose the correct bike for your use. You will find that in China, the one-speed style of bike is popular. These bikes are great if you want to ride around in the city to see the sights. They are quite comfortable and easy to ride. You can often rent a bike for a day for about 15 dollars.However, if you wish to ride on some of the rural paths, a mountain bike style would be a better choice. They are great for different kinds of road surfaces, providing for a safer ride. If you are planning to have a wish to tour and still be able to carry packages with you, then a touring bike would be the best choice. These are the most expensive to rent, but are very suitable for carrying packages and even some of your luggage along with you.21. If you are traveling in Beijing, you had better _____________.A. buy a bikeB. borrow a bikeC. steal a bikeD. rent a bike22. Which of the following is the advantage of the one-speed bike?A. It is worth at least 15 dollarsB. You can’t ride in thecountrysideC. It is easy for you to travel in the cityD. You have to return it the next day.23. You would like to own a touring bike probably because_______________A. you have to ride on the road in the countrysideB. you have some packages to carry while travelingC. you want to enjoy the sights in the big citiesD. it is suitable for all kinds of road surfaces.BA friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present．On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin （顽童）was walking around the shining car．“Is this your car, Paul?” he asked.Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” Th e boy was surprised．“You mean your brother gave it to you and it cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…” He hesitated.Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for．He wished he had a brother like that．But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, I’d love that.”After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, sai d, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little．He thought he knew what the boy wanted．He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car．But Paul was wrong again．“Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残疾) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.“There she is, Buddy, just li ke I told you upstairs．His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent．And some day I’m going to give youone just like it… Then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car．The shining-eyed older brother climbed in and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride. 24．The street urchin was very surprised when _____．A．he saw the shining car B．Paul told him something about the carC．he was walking around the car D．Paul received an expensive car25．From the story we know that the urchin ______．A．wished to give his brother a car B．wished Paul’s brother to give him a carC．wished Paul could be a brother like that D．wished he could have a brother like Paul’s26．The urchin asked Paul to stop his car in front of his house _____.A．to show he had a rich friend B．to show his neighbors the car C．to tell his brother about his wish D．to let his brother ride in the car27．We can infer from the story that ____.A．Paul couldn’t understand the urchin B．the urchin had a deep love for his brotherC．the urchin wished to have a rich brother D．the urchin’s wish came true in the endCWhen Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked the obvious question, “Why did she live to be 107?” Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities. In spite of the city’s image as an unhealthy place, city living often provides benefits that country living can lack. One factor seems to be important to thelongevity(长寿)of those interviewed.This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators( 电梯 ), and so people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find，there is often no choice but to walk.On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars.28. The Vienna survey may help to explain______.A. the complaints of people in apartment housesB. the cause of Mrs. Groeger’s deathC. the longevity of people like Mrs. GroegerD. the image of cities in general29. The purpose of the second paragraph is to list some______.A. benefits of walkingB. occasions (机会) for walking in city lifeC. comments（评论）made by city peopleD. problems of city living30. People who live in the country probably do more driving than walking because_______A. it is more convenient for them in this wayB. they don’t need the exerciseC. they never have parking problemsD. they can’t afford to take the bus31. A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is that_______.A. air pollution is not seriousB. anyone can live to be 107C. country people should move to the cityD. walking is a healthful exerciseDFree energy is everywhere around us. There are many ways to make and collect energyfrom various sources like sun, wind and water. People also realize that everyday stuff can be a source of energy too. For example, riding a bike, running or just walking, etc. We simply have to change our way of thinking if we want to change the world.So comes the idea of solar roadways. Are they the road of future? Why use roads just for driving and collecting tolls (过路费)? Why don’t we use them for collecting energy?The US Department of Transportation recently awarded $100,000 to Solar Roadways to build the first ever Solar Road Panel. So how do these future roads work?The Solar Road Panels will contain embedded (嵌入的) LEDs which “paint” the road lines from beneath to provide safer nighttime driving as well as to give drivers instant instructions such as detour (绕行) ahead. The road will be able to sense wildlife on the road and can warn drivers to “slow down”. There will also be embedded heating elements in the surface to prevent snow and ice buildup, providing safer winter driving.Replacing asphalt (沥青) roads and parking lots with Solar Roadway Panels will be a major step toward stopping climate change. Fully electric vehicles will be able to recharge along the roadway and in parking lots, finally making electric cars practical for long trips.We just can’t wait to see more of these roads all over the world in the near future.32. The first paragraph serves as a (n) _____.A. argumentB. commentC. explanationD. background33. When some animals are on the solar road, what will the road do?A. Guide them to a safer place.B. Remind drivers to drive slowly.C. Frighten them away from the road.D. Advise drivers to choose another way.34. From the text, we can know that the Solar Road Panels can _____.A. provide heat for drivers in winterB. guide drivers who get lost on the highwayC. melt snow and ice soon in winterD. help drivers see the roadclearly in the sun35. What is the text mainly about?A. Functions of the road in the future.B. Development of solar energy.C. Free energy on the road.D. Solar road of the future.第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
