3 . If you live in Shanghai，Beijing or many other cities，you may see many orange bicycles on the streets these days．

These bikes are owned by a company called Mobike．You can order a bike through an app on your phone．When you find a bike，you just scan a QR code （扫描二维码） on the bike so you can use it．You don’t need to return the bike to a station—you can park it anywhere．

China was known as "the kingdom of bicycles" about 30 years ago．But more people choose to drive cars and catch the subway these days．Bike rental(租凭的) services like Mobike are bringing bikes back．

"Back then，I got the feeling that Chinese people were trying to be modern and push away the past．So they did not want to be linked with bicycles，" said Ines Brunn，a German woman who runs a bike store in Beijing．"I do believe changes in people's tastes will shape new thinking about bikes．"

Online rental services are making biking more convenient，but it's still not easy to ride bikes in Chinese cities．Cars often take up bicycle lanes(道路)． Bikers have to ride next to cars in car lanes，which can be very dangerous．

Beijing plans to build over 3,200 km of new bike lanes．Drivers who drive in bike lanes will be punished．Traffic signs will be put up to better protect bikers．

4 . In November, 2008, voters in California approved one of the most ambitious government infrastructure (基础设施) projects in. U.S. history; a bullet train connecting San Francisco and Los Angeles, at a cost of $33 billion. For years, however people have watched the projected costs mount, with the last estimates over $75 billion.

On Tuesday, the governor of the state Gavin Newsom called for the state to scale back the project to a less costly rail that would run through the Central valley. California voters can stop seizing their wallets. But voters elsewhere should pay close attention, because what happened in California problem that face any U.S. rail project, or any infrastructure project that tries to meaningfully reshape U. S.

In other places of the world, major population centers are much closer to each other, which is a basic requirement far high-speed rail. Imagine what it would take to build a line from New York City to Los Angeles or to Chicago, Houston or Phoenix.

Of course, some cities look ripe for rail, but instead of high-speed rail between these cities, we have the Acela, which takes eight hours to travel from Washington to Boston and shakes like a maraca player. Why haven’t we built something better? Because truly high-speed rail needs to travel in a fairly straight line; you don’t want to be taking a sharp curve at 300 miles per hour. Building newer, better, straighter rail lines would require the government to buy all the land between Point A and Point B and tear down anything that happened to be in the way. But in fact, there are a great deal of highly valuable estates instead of farms.

For historical reasons, the U. S. legal system offers citizens rights with which they can attempt to block government projects. Any project bigger than painting a schoolhouse has to either fight out the constant reviews and court cases for years, or buy off the opponents.

1. What happened on Tuesday in California?

A．Voters were raising funds for a new railway.

B．It was purposed that the hill of high railway was adjusted.

C．The governor of the slate declared the opening of a new railway.

D．The governor of the state discovered a vital problem in the railway project.

2. What can we learn from paragraph 3 and 4?

A．It is reasonable to build a high-speed railway from New York to Chicago.

B．Acela is a kind of train in place of high-speed train which provides pleasant feelings.

C．High-Speed train frequently takes a sharp curve during the travel.

D．The estates located on the straight rail line are very expensive to purchase.

3. What is the current situation of American legal system?

A．It meets the requirements of American citizens.

B．It allows American residents to block most government projects.

C．It is not efficient in dealing with practical problems.

D．It requires much expense to accomplish something.

4. What can be suitable title for the text?

A．Absence of American High-Speed Rail	B．An American State with New Railway
C．A New Policy on American Railway	D．The History of American Railway

5 . Why Not Build a DIY Ebike

Buying an electric bicycle is a great way to get going quickly and enjoy the immediate satisfaction of getting around on an ebike.     1     There are some of the best reasons to go with a DIY ebike.

Save money with a DIY ebike. When you buy an electric bicycle, you aren’t just paying for the ebike.     2     When you decide to convert (改装) your own standard bicycle into an electric bicycle, you just pay for the ebike parts themselves.

Gain control when building your own ebike. When you choose your own parts, you have total control over the performance of your ebike. This applies more to choosing parts individually, but even buying a complete electric bicycle conversion kit (整套配件) is a great way to go. There are so many different kits out there for everyone.     3    

A DIY ebike means a better bicycle. A dirty secret of the industry is that many ebike producers skimp on (克扣) the quality of the actual bicycle, so that they can try to bring the price down enough.     4     By converting a bicycle yourself, you’ve already saving a bunch of money.

    5     The last and perhaps best reason for converting your own bicycle to electric drive is simply the sense of accomplishment. You get a great feeling every day when you ride on your ebike, knowing that you are doing a good thing for the environment and that you are also riding on something you built with your own two

A．You can start with a simple electric bicycle.

B．As a result, they can draw in more consumers.

C．Be proud of building your own electric bicycle.

D．Do your own electric bicycle conversion without any help.

E．The kit you choose will largely depend on your own desires.

F．However, converting your own bicycle into an ebike is better.

G．You’re actually covering all of the cost to get that ebike out of store.

6 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Seeing a place by bike is one of the most exciting ways of     1     (get) to know a new destination (目的地). Cycling to be green, to get fit or just for new challenge in life, combining sport and travel could be a completely life-changing experience.

The route around the vast Qinghai Lake will take 4 to 7 days of cycling. The total     2     (distant) is over 220 miles. The beautiful lake,     3     is said to change color depending on the season or time of day,     4     (lie) in the culturally Tibetan area. It has been sacred (神圣的) lake to the Tibetan people for many     5     (century).

At a steady and comfortable pace, this route can be completed     6     (easy). Because of the Qinghai Lake International Cycling Race, which has taken place every July     7     2002, the roads are well protected and very easy to ride     8    . The asphalt (柏油) road makes an excellent smooth surface, so you won’t be up against rough road.

For the best weather and the clearest views of the     9     (peace) lake, visit during summer. The best months for cycling are July and August, but remember     10     (travel) with thick clothes as the temperatures drop dramatically in the evenings.

7 . The London Underground (The Tube)

The main source of public transport in London revolves around the Underground (or the Tube as it is known to Londoners). This network of 12 lines can get you to most places in the center of the city quickly.

It’s almost necessary to get an Oyster Card or a Travelcard. Single tickets are priced starting at the intentionally absurd price of £4.80 (Zone1-3), if you pay cash. Using an Oyster Card, a single fare is £2.30 if you are traveling within the central Zone 1.

On hot days it is also advisable to take a bottle of water with you as Underground trains are not air-conditioned.

Last trains leave central London at around 00:30 weekdays, 23:30 Sundays. First trains leave the suburbs at around 5:00.

The Bus System

Outside the center of London, Tube Stations are farther apart, so buses help fill the gaps. Also, the bus offers a cheaper alternative, even if it is a slower journey.

Cash fares for London buses have been abolished — you cannot pay cash. A bus fare costs £1.50 if people only use buses, and the fare is capped at £4.40 per day for Oyster or contactless card users.

Light Rail and Trains

You can think of the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and the Tramlink as extensions of the Underground, Travelcards purchased at Tube Stations in East London. The DLR connects with a number of the other train services (including connections at Tower Hill or Bank Stations) and can be used to reach Greenwich, Canary Wharf, and Stratford.

River Services

There are a number of different routes along the River Thames. The faster commuter services operate all day from Greenwich Pier to Embankment and from Putney and Chelsea harbour to Blackfriars during Peak Hours only. These routes will pass a number of places of interest including the Houses of Parliament and London Bridge. A return fare from Putney to Blackfriars will cost about 12 pounds.

National Rail

Once you leave Central London or if you are traveling South of the River Thames, the best public transport option will often be National Rail. There are numerous connections to the Rail System from the Tube. Travelcards can be used for travel on the National Rail (but not the Heathrow Express). Oyster cards can be used up to Zone 6 except certain services including Heathrow Express, Heathrow Connect and HS1.

1. When taking the London Underground, you _______.

A．should buy tickets with cash

8 . China’s first overpass for wildlife migration has already come into use. The bridge     1    (lie) over the newly constructed National Highway 214 is able to link animal habitats separated by the road.     2    (cover) with sand―much like the surrounding land, the overpass can fit in with the environment well.

It’s about two years since the national highway     3     (begin) and it is designed with environmental protection as a top priority. A project environmental engineer for the highway said they based the construction of these man-made corridors（通道）    4     years of observation of wildlife migration in the region. The bridge, for example, is built according to the region’s natural conditions and with     5     purpose of reducing the highway’s effect on the animals significantly. Wildlife overpasses and underpasses assist animals     6     (safe) crossing over or under busy roadways and allow them to continue to use their customary paths,     7     would otherwise be blocked.

Those passageways, with a total     8     (long) of 59 kilometers, enable antelopes and other animals to cross the railway freely. So far, China has put great effort into achieving     9     (harmony) coexistence between human development and the protection of wildlife. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the world’s     10     (high) railroad, has 33 underpasses for migrating animals.

9 . Los Angeles is always a popular holiday destination. To fully enjoy your travel there, you should know its food, weather, and also traffic. While driving in L. A. is similar to that in other areas, there are a few specific rules to note.

HOV lanes (车道)

On many L. A. freeways, one or more lanes at the far left are used as high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. They usually have limited access and you can only enter or exit where there is a break in the double yellow line. Most HOV lanes require a minimum of two people in the car; some require three. Vehicles towing trailers (拖车) are NOT allowed in the HOV lane, regardless of how many people are in them.

Toll (收费) lanes

On certain freeways, the HOV lanes are double-purposed as toll lanes for people driving alone who have a FasTrak, an electronic toll collection system. Therefore, you also have to have one in that lane as a HOV, which is inconvenient if you’re just visiting. FasTrak is in effect on parts of the 110 freeway between the 405 and 10 freeways, and on parts of the 10 freeway east of Downtown L. A.

Cell phones

It is against the law to talk on a cell phone while driving without using a hands-free device. Holding a cell phone to your ear while driving will land you with a ticket.

Alcohol

Driving under the influence is taken seriously in L.A. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08%, but you can be charged with lower levels if they show you can’t function normally. Placing an opened bottle of alcohol in the passenger area while driving (or sitting) is illegal. Any opened container of alcohol has to be transported in the trunk.

1. What do you know about HOV lanes?

A．They encourage people to share cars.

B．They are on the far right of freeways.

C．They are intended for larger vehicles.

D．They allow cars to enter over the double yellow line.

2. Which is surely against the road rules in L. A.?

A．Driving on the 110 freeway with a FasTrak.

B．Putting the cell phone in the car while driving.

C．Riding with an opened bottle of alcohol in back seats.

D．Going below the blood alcohol limit of 0. 08%.

3. Where is the text most probably taken from?

A．A traffic law.	B．A road map.
C．A guidebook.	D．A report.
