8.About three decades ago,China was known as the"Bicycle Kingdom".But later on bikes were replaced by their fuel-powered competitors.
But recent months have seen a revival of the humble bike across China,with an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of driving to schools,to workplaces or to do sightseeing.The introduction of bike-sharing schemes,pioneered by start-ups like Ofo and Mobike,has brought the trend to a new level.
People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphone.The bikes are equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user.They're popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective solution to the"last mile"problem,which refers to the final leg of a person's journey.
"In places where the subway doesn't extend,where it's difficult to change from one kind of transport to another,it's so easy to get where you want to go with Mobike,"Hu Hong,29,told AFP.She pedals to her Shanghai real-estate job.
However,the schemes have also led to problems such as illegal parking,vandalism and theft.Last month,two nurses in Beijing were placed under administrative punishment for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes.And in December,a man who stole a shared bike was sentenced to a 3-month detention with a 3-month probation,and fined 1,000 yuan by the Shanghai Minhang People's Court.
"Bike-sharing is a greener method of transportation and provides a user-friendly experience,"said Liu Xiaoming,vice-minister of transport."But it's a combination of online and offline business.Operators are usually strong in online services,but lack offline business experience,which causes problems."To deal with these problems,the company came up with the idea of encouraging people to return the bikes to stations by rewarding free time for their next rides.

分析 通篇文章講述了社會新流行的"共享單車"現(xiàn)象及其初期出現(xiàn)的很多問題.
解答 32.D 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)題干,信息源在第二段"The introduction of bike-sharing schemes,pioneered by start-ups like Ofo and Mobike,has brought the trend to a new level",可知答案為D.
33.A 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)題干"last mile"problem,鎖定信息源為第三段"which refers to the final leg of a person's journey".再細讀這一段可以知道"In places where the subway doesn't extend""在地鐵不延伸的地方,故B項正確;"where it's difficult to change from one kind of transport to another"很難從一種運輸方式轉(zhuǎn)變到另一種運輸方式,故C項正確;"it's so easy to get where you want to go with Mobike,"去你想去的地方與自行車很容易.故不屬于"last mile"problem的為A.
34.B 細節(jié)理解題.本題信息源在最后一段."Operators are usually strong in online services,but lack offline business experience,which causes problems."可以知道正確選項為B.
35.D 文章主旨題.通篇文章講述了社會新流行的"共享單車"現(xiàn)象及其初期出現(xiàn)的很多問題.再結(jié)合第一段"About three decades ago,China was known as the"Bicycle Kingdom".But later on bikes were replaced by their fuel-powered competitors."大約三年前,中國被稱為"自行車王國",但后來自行車被他們的燃料動力的競爭對手所取代,自行車不能說是一種新的運輸方式,故B項不正確.正確選項為D.
