D. Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题) (12 分)
Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, is famous for its biking culture. Its people have biked to work since the 1880s. And recently, it has shown again that it is one of the world's great biking cities.
For the first time, there are more bikes than cars in the heart of the city, reported The Guardian. Il has found 13, 100 more bikes than cars in the city center over the past year. In the last 20 years, the number of bikes used has risen by 68 percent.
This is mainly because of the huge efforts (努力) that the local government have made to create a bike city. Since 2005, a large amount of money has been spent on biking, and the city now has several new bridges only for biking and walking.
Bikes are also becoming more and more popular in China. An increasing number of people are cycling instead of driving to school, to their workplace or to tourist attractions. Public bike rental (出租) services have also been introduced in many cities, including Beijing, Hangzhou and Changchun.
The introduction of Mobike, a new public bike rental system-which started in Shanghai in April and came to Beijing on Sept I-brought the use of bikes to a whole new level. After Scanning (扫描) the QR code(二维码) on the bike, you can ride the Mobike's orange bikes to your destination. It is far more convenient than the old bike rental system. New payment methods such as Alipay and WeChat are also supported by the service.
Despite this, it's still not easy to ride bikes in Chinese cities. Because cars usually take up bicycle lanes (车道) ,bikers often have to ride next to cars. However, Copenhagen is much friendlier to bikes. Lanes are built to encourage cycling. Traffic lights are timed for bicycle speeds. For example, Cycle Snake, a high orange bike lane, allows fast bikers to go in both directions. In the mid-afternoon during the summer, bikers can see the daylight between two nearby buildings. It makes riding a bike even more enjoyable.

89. Why are there more bikes than cars in the heart of Copenhagen?
90. When did Copenhagen began to spend money on biking?
91. Which cities in China have public bike rental services according to the passage?

D. Answer the questions（根据以下内容回答问题）（12分）
Mary Donaldson is worried about her 16-year-old daughter, Sophia. Six months ago, Sophia came back from a party, upset and unhappy. From then on, she thought of nothing but how to lose weight and become beautiful. She refused to eat and kept on doing exercise. Sophia had always been a little heavy, so when she decided to go on a diet, Mary encouraged her. She felt that her daughter would look more attractive if she lost 10 kilograms. However, Sophia has lost 20 kilograms until now. Her eating and exercising habits are having a harmful effect on her health. She is too thin and is often sick.
Her mother is trying to prevent her from going on a diet and losing weight, but Sophia thinks that she is still too heavy and refuses to eat as usual. Sophia’s mind is full of the idea of looking like a model（模特）. Every day she goes to a club to do exercise. When she is not there, she spends her time reading magazines like “Fashion & Beauty”（《时尚与美》）. The models in these magazines are very thin and beautiful. Sophia says, “If I look like models, I will be happy and all the boys will like me.”
Ma ry doesn’t know how to help her daughter. She feels sorry for having encouraged her at first, because Sophia no longer feels good or pleased with her body. She’s afraid that Sophia will never be happy if she keeps comparing herself with the models in the magazines. Mary tries to tell Sophia that true beauty comes from within. Common people are not supposed to look like models. The most ordinary face becomes beautiful when the person is filled with confidence, wisdom and the joy of life.

90. Besides doing exercise, what else did Sophia do to lose weight?
91. How much weight has Sophia lost until now?

True beauty comes from within. For example, when a person is honest or works hard,
she/he is the most beautiful./ I think when the person is filled with confidence, wisdom and
the joy of life, she/he is really beautiful.

Fran Klans is the owner of a coffeehouse in Beckley, West Virginia. Her coffeehouse is called Serendipity. Until this fall, Serendipity was a comfortable place to drink coffee and chat with
friends. That all changed when Klaus met Cameron Taylor. Taylor is a computer expert. He wanted to bring new technology to West Virginia.

The cybercafé is also a favourite place for travelers. "Travelers can check their email, send business documents, communicate with their office, and have a cup of coffee at the same time.
Adding a cybercafé is not the only change for the comfortable coffeehouse. In the future, Klaus and Taylor want to install video-conferencing equipment. With video-conferencing, customers can have face-to-face business meetings with people across the globe.
Serendipity's future plans also include poetry readings on Thursday nights and musical events on Saturday nights.
Lots of people seem to enjoy going to Serendipity's cybercafé. As Klaus said, "Where else can you surf the Net and enjoy a cup of cappuccino with friends?"
99. What did people use to do in Serendipity before Klaus met Taylor?
100. Who thought of the idea of turning Serendipity into a cybercafé, Klaus or Taylor?
101. Cybercafés are rarely seen in other parts of the United States, are they?

52．（12分）"More young people should study Science"，Hazel Wallace，a Science teacher from London，said at a conference for young scientists last weekend．" More young people should take Science subjects at school and study them at university，"she said．" Scientists can change the world and can improve life for everyone．We also need more people who want to teach science and do scientific research．"

Professor Benson was certain that numbers were still too low and added，"There's still a problem with science lessons in schools．Most young people think that Science is boring or difficult or both．We have to find ways to interest 12﹣16 years olds in studying Physics，
Chemistry and Biology．Old﹣fashioned teaching methods have to change，We must spread the news that Science is very important，but it can also be fun．"
