Question

【題目】

Right in front of the Minneapolis Central Library, a row of green bikes sits parked in a special stand. Each bike is designed with the logo “Nice Ride”-the name of the city's bike-sharing programme.

Nice Ride bikes are a lot like the library books that people come here to borrow. To rent a bike, you simply use your membership card at a Nice Ride bike station. Members can rent one of 1,200 bikes from 138 stations throughout Minnesota's largest city. People use the Nice Ride bikes to go to work, to go out on business, or just to enjoy the city's many bike paths.

The rise of bike-sharing programmes like Nice Ride is encouraging more people than ever to choose biking over driving. Skyrocketing gas prices and concerns about the environment have also gotten people to dust off their bike helmets, pump air into flat tires, and hit the road.

Why ride? Not only is biking good exercise, but switching from a car to a bike also cuts down the amount of pollution in the air. Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas linked to climate change, is one of the many polluting substances that come out of a car's tail pipe.

Bike-sharing systems are found around the world in cities like London, Paris, Barcelona, and Melbourne. The largest programme with 70,000 bikes-is in Wuhan, China.

To make roads friendlier to non-motorists, the US Department of Transportation has invested more than a billion dollars in cycling and pedestrian projects in recent years. The money went towards building thousands of miles of on-street bike lanes and pedestrian-only passages called greenways.

【1】Which of the following can people do with the bikes?

【4】D

【解析】

本文是說明文。文章介紹了一個城市自行車共享的項目，鼓勵人們騎車出行，減少污染。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段提到 People use the Nice Ride bikes to go to work, to go out on business, or just to enjoy the city's many bike paths.可知，人們用自行車可以去工作，談生意，享受城市的自行車道，故選 B。

【2】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第四段提到 Not only is biking good exercise, but switching from a car to a bike also reduces the amount of pollution in the air.可知，騎自行車車不僅僅可以鍛煉身體，還能減少汽車有害氣體的排放，有助于環(huán)保，所以第四段主要是關(guān)于自行車的益處。故選 A。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中提到鼓勵人們騎自行車而不是取代車輛，故 A 錯誤；根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二 段提到 The largest program-with 70,000 bikes-is in Wuhan, China.可知，有一個項目 在中國，而不是自行車體系，故 B 項錯誤；根據(jù)最后一段提到 To make roads friendlier to non-motorists, the U.S. Department of Transportation has invested more than a billion dollars in cycling and pedestrian projects in recent years.可知政府大量的投入，故 D 項錯誤；根據(jù)第三段提到 The rise of bike-sharing programmes like Nice Ride is encouraging more people than ever to choose biking over driving.s 可知，像Nice Ride這樣的共享單車項目的興起，正鼓勵比以往更多的人選擇騎自行車而不是開車。所以C選項正確。故選 C。

【4】推理判斷題。閱讀原文根據(jù)首段Each bike is designed with the logo “Nice Ride”-the name of the city's bike-sharing programme.可知，每輛自行車的設(shè)計都帶有“Nice Ride”的標志，這是該市共享單車項目的名稱。以及全文對Nice Ride的具體介紹。由此判斷出作者寫作目的是為了介紹公共場所的共享自行車系統(tǒng)，故選 D。
