【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-share program.

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 l, 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-share programs 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-share systems are found around the world in cities like London, Paris, Barcelona, and Melbourne, Australia. The largest program with 70,000 bikes--is in Wuhan, China.

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. The money went toward 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?

A. Earn a living. B. Enjoy bikeways.

C. Compete in a race. D. Rent them out to others.

【2】What is Paragraph four mainly about?

A. Benefits of biking. B. Pollution caused by cars.

C. Methods to use the bikes. D. Measures to decrease pollution.

【3】Which of the following is true of Nice Ride?

A. China has better public bike systems.

B. It will take the place of taxi companies.

C. It attracts more people to choose biking.

D. The government lacks money to support it.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?

A. To seek advice for Nice Ride.

B. To compare Nice Ride with libraries.

C. To raise money for bike-share programs.

D. To introduce the bike system in public places.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】本文主要介紹了一個(gè)城市自行國共享的項(xiàng)目，并鼓勵(lì)人們騎車出行減少污染。

【1】B

B 細(xì)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人們用自行車可以去工作，談生意，使用城市的自行車道，故選B項(xiàng)

【2】A

主旨大意。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不僅僅騎車可以鍛煉身體，減少洗車有害氣體的排放，有助于環(huán)保，故選A項(xiàng)。

3. Which of the following is true of Nice Ride?

A. China has better public bike systems.

B. It will take the place of taxi companies.

C. It attracts more people to choose biking.

【4】D

推理判斷題。第一段提到圖書館前有很多的自行車停放，這是城市自行車共享的項(xiàng)目。目的就是鼓勵(lì)人們環(huán)保出行，政府也加大的投入，故選D項(xiàng)。

【題目】Your next car could have two seats, three wheels---two in front and one in the back and a top speed of more than 100 miles per hour. Elio Motors plans to make such a tiny car named the Elio. Its two seats sit front and back instead of side by side. The driver is positioned in the center with the passenger directly behind.

The starting price for the car is just $6,800. It has only one door, on the left side, which cuts a few hundred dollars off the manufacturing costs. Having three wheels also makes it cheaper. It has air conditioning, power windows and door locks and an AM/FM radio. More features can be ordered through Elio’s long list of suppliers. Elio will also sell the cars directly through its own stores and not through franchised dealers (特約經(jīng)銷商).

Paul Elio dreamed as a kid that he would one day own a car company called Elio Motors. In 2008, tired of high gas prices, he started working on a car that burns gas in a more effective way. Equally important to him was creating U.S. manufacturing jobs and making the car inexpensive enough to attract buyers who might otherwise be stuck in their old, unreliable (不可靠的)cars. “Whatever matters to you, this can move the needle on it,” he said.

Already, more than 27,000 people have reserved (預(yù)訂)one. Paul hopes to make 250,000 cars a year by 2016. So far, reservation holders are those who will use the Elio as a second car or third car for work. Finally, though, he believes the car will interest high school and college students as well as used-car drivers who want something newer and more reliable.

【1】Which of the following shows the design of the Elio?

(O=wheel, □=seat)

A. B.

C. D.

【2】Paragraph 2 shows that the Elio ________.

A. is sold at affordable prices

B. will be available in most stores

C. has a fixed temperature

D. does no harm to the environment

【3】The underlined words “move the needle” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “________”.

A. take a chance B. stand in the way

C. break into pieces D. make a difference

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A. The history of Elio Motors B. Cool and practical vehicle

C. Paul Elio: a kid with big dreams D. What car to choose: new or used?

【題目】It is not easy to find true friends．Even if you’ve connected with someone，how do you really know he is a true friend？And often you will find that someone who you thought you could trust may have let you down．There are ways you can know if a friendship is true and how you can hold onto that friend．

Generally speaking，a true friend is someone who will be there for you no matter what happens．They will stand by you through bad and good times．They will accept you for who you are without trying to change you，and they will be there to help you grow in new ways．

A true friend will keep you secrets for you trust him．They will be honest and be someone you can depend on．They will listen and be someone you can talk things over with，even if they may not have advice to share with you．

However，friendship is a two-way street．To find true friends and keep them，you must in turn be the same as well．Be there for them in their hard times and share the good times with them．Be someone your friends can depend on as well and offer them the same thing they give to you．A friendship will fall apart fast if only one person is giving and putting all the effort．If you are the only one making an effort，be honest and it works．

Actually，there will be barriers in the road but that is the test of true friendship．If it can survive those barriers，it will be stronger and better than ever．Just as St Thomas Aquinas put it，“There is nothing on this earth more prized than friendship．”
