In order to solve this problem, the government has decided to have a bike revolution. It has decided to provide 6,000 bikes for the people to rent. The government encouraged local people to ride bikes. It can not only solve the traffic problem, but also make people keep healthy.More than 12,000 people have accepted to the idea. Some of them ask for more than one key. Although there are not enough bikes, an official from the government said that they would find some ways to deal with such a shortage.Local people can get these bikes at special docking stations (停靠站).There are about 315 docking stationsacross the city. More than 12,456 keys have already been handed out to the local people, but only 6,000 keys can be used now.Let's see the cost you need to pay. One key costs ￡3, and the cost of using the bike is ￡1 for an hour. The cost per hour increases as the hours increase, so it will cost ￡50 if you rent the bike for 24 hours.The official from the government said they also needed to face a lot of problems, for example, some bikes may be stolen. But he said they would try their best to solve all the problems to make sure the success of the program.30.

But I think those of us who live in large cities in Asia would be cheating ourselves if we said this is the only time we are busy shopping. No from Bangkok to Singapore, from Shanghai to Manila, shopping-especially shopping in large centers-is a year-round activity.Shopping centers are good. They show Asia‘s surprising economic (经济的) growth, and how far we have come in such a short time. For many of the older generation who can remember a time when everyone lived in villages and there was no running water, the air-conditioned center means comfort choice, luxury (豪华) and better times.Nowadays, it seems our usual activities happen in the center-it’s where we shop, eat, watch movies, meet our friends or just generally walk around.Further more, we have come to regard shopping centers as important landmarks or tourist attractions(吸引力). Whole generations of Asians are growing up to think that, besides home and school, the shopping center is the most natural place to be.My idea about shopping centers is not that they are often big buildings that look quite different from other parts in a city, or that they promote (促进) shopping at a time when our planet can hardly afford it. My main idea about centers is that they don‘t really seem to make us happy. The large advertisements outside the stores could make us think that if we only had this pair of jeans, or if we hung out at this café drinking coffee, then we could feel more successful. But once we buy something, we only want to buy something more-as everyone already knows.Shopping centers, even though they try to look as welcoming as possible, can be unkind places. To make us buy, they must make us feel that we are short of something, or that everyone else has something we do not yetown. We must want to surpass others or at the very least to keep up. How can this thought always trying to be cool bring us true joy?The saddest thing is that the modern center has stopped us from many beautiful, necessary and important activities. We have no one to blame (责怪) but ourselves. Instead of shopping, we could be cooking, visiting a nearby waterfall, going to the beach, reading a novel, taking a long walk, playing a sport, learning a dance or visiting each other’s homes.Every time we have a spare piece of land, all we can think of building on it is yet another center. Perhaps instead, we should be building libraries, theatres, museums, sports halls, public swimming pools, parks-the list is endless. We might even consider leaving that land alone. This is something that the center may have caused us to forget-in order to be happy, we must create as well as consume (消费).33. What is the writer’ s attitude towards shopping centers?A. He likes them very much.B. He doesn’t like them at all.C. He likes them only a little.D. He doesn’t like all of them.34. Why do more and more shopping centers appear in some Asian countries?A. Because economy in the world develops very fast.B. Because shopping centers have attracted tourists all over the world.C. Because people go shopping in large shopping centers all year round.D. Because shopping centers have become an important part in everyone’ s life.35. What is the greatest disadvantage of shopping centers, according to the writer?A. They don’ t seem to make us happy.B. They lead us to buy more and more things.C. They force us to give up many other activities.D. They have us fall into endless competition with others.36. Which of the following is not true?A. It is very easy for us to find a shopping center in a big city.B. There are usually all kinds of services in a shopping center.C. The government must be responsible for the writer’s sadness.D. Besides shopping, there’ re many other activities we can enjoy.四、阅读短文，还原句子Elena Desserieh was a beautiful girl. ______(37) She had dreamed of becoming an artist when she grew up-but sadly, she never had the chance to be an adult.

It is just between Leicester Square and Shaftsbury Avenue. Gerrard Street is at the center and is the most important street in the area. There is a large Chinese community with a lot of Chinese restaurants, Chinese supermarkets and shops in this street.In the 1950s, it was a poor area and everything was very cheap. At the same time, the world rice market changed and thousands of farm workers in Hong Kong lost their jobs. They began arriving in London to look for work. They found jobs in the restaurants in this area. Many British people liked Chinese food, and the restaurants were popular.These restaurant workers often worked 17 hours a day and had no time to learn English. As more Chinese arrived, more shops and businesses grew up. Wives came and joined their husbands and children came and joined their fathers. The community grew, and Chinatown was born.In the 1970s and 1980s, British-born Chinese started to have a better education and this brought economic success to the area. Many families moved out of Chinatown, and there was more space for businesses. Gerrard Street became a street only for visitors and was soon a popular place for tourists.Now everyone knows about London's Chinatown. During the Chinese New Year, the streets are seen with flags and thousands of Chinese go into the streets. For most of the year, though, Londoners and tourists go theremainly for the food in the Chinese restaurants. The best restaurants are rich or poor in the 1950s?41.
