2 . With a population of 602,000, Luxembourg is one of Europe’s smallest countries—yet it has major traffic jams. But that could be about to change. As of March 1, 2020 all public transport—trains, trams and buses—in the country is now free.

The government hopes the move will alleviate its heavy traffic jam and bring environmental benefits, according to Dany Frank, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Mobility and Public Works.

Landlocked Luxembourg is one of the richest countries in Europe, with the highest per capita GDP in the European Union. Taking up 2,586 square kilometers, Luxembourg is roughly the size of Rhode Island. From the capital of Luxembourg City, Belgium, France and Germany can all be reached by car in half an hour, which lead to more than 180,000 of its workforce commute(通勤) from those neighboring countries every day.

But its “booming economy” and high concentration of jobs have led to traffic issues, he says. In 2016, Luxembourg had 662 cars per 1,000 people, and driving is a “primary means of transportation” for commuters, according to a 2017 report. That year, drivers in Luxembourg City spent an average of 33 hours in traffic jams. It fared worse than European cities Copenhagen and Helsinki, which have comparable population sizes to all of Luxembourg—yet drivers in both only spent an average of 24 hours in traffic.

Luxembourg’s public transport system covers the whole country and costs $562 million per year to run. Each year, it generates around $46 million in ticket sales, according to the ministry. The government is putting up the cost of making it free. The new scheme can signal important changes ahead when it comes to Luxembourg’s reliance on driving. But Caruso adds, “Rather than walking 500 meters, you see a bus coming and you say,‘I can get on and travel 500 meters because it’s free.’”

1. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Allow.	B．Urge.
C．Ease.	D．Burden.

2. What attracted more people to work in Luxembourg?

A．Its business culture.	B．Its geographical position.
C．Its small population.	D．Its favorite climate.

3. What does the numbers in Paragraph 4 tell us about Luxembourg?

A．It is the smallest country in Europe.	B．It is one of European richest countries.
C．It is a country visited frequently.	D．It suffers from terrible traffic jams.

4. What is Luxembourg’s new scheme faced with traffic jams?

A．Making all public transport free.	B．Carrying out the family planning.
C．Cycling or walking to work.	D．Using their own private cars.

3 . Be assured that feeling sleepy at the wheel puts you at higher risk of killing yourself, your passengers and other road users. To avoid feeling tired and sleepy while driving, please read the tips below to ensure a safe journey.

Before starting the journey, make sure that:

* You are fit to drive, by having a good sleep a night before.

* You have carried out the daily check of your cars.

* You have planned your journey and understand the risk if you have to get up unusually early to start your trip, or have a long drive after a full days’ work.

* You avoid making a trip at night and having heavy meals, as these may cause sleepiness.

While on a journey:

* Take a 15-minute break every two hours for cars.

* Take 1 hour after 4 hours of continuous driving for trucks or buses.

* Share the driving if possible.

* If you start feeling sleepy, stop immediately and make sure you stop away from the road shoulder.

* Driving hours must be in line with the law(12 hours a day at most).

Symptoms (症状) of tiredness and sleepiness:

* Yawning and nodding head

* Difficulty to keep your attention, to keep your eyes open or to see things clearly

When having any of these, some drivers would like to open the windows to get fresh air or play the radio. These will not help and will not solve the problem; the only solution is to stop and have enough rest.

A total of eight European countries     7     (link) by the new routes.

9 . You’re standing at a city bus stop, waiting for a bus to arrive. You wait and wait.     1     But you haven’t seen one for at least 20 minutes. Finally, a bus full of people arrives. Just as you try to squeeze yourself in, you see another bus coming down the street, and another one behind it!

What’s going on? Why do buses always seem to come in bunches (成群) instead of at regular intervals (间隔) ?

    2     They say that passengers tend to remember the few times when more than one bus arrives at a stop and to forget the many more times when a bus arrives alone.

However, experts who study traffic say that bunching really can happen quite easily.     3     If each stop had the same number of passengers waiting, the buses would keep to their schedule. But usually there are many people at a few stops and no one at others.

Suppose many people happen to gather at a particular stop.     4     So it gets delayed and the bus behind it catches up a bit. When the second bus arrives at the same stop, there has been less time for passengers to assemble (聚集), so the bus goes on its way quickly. Meanwhile, the first bus arrives at its next stop a little later than usual, so there’s been more time for passengers to join the crowd.     5     Once one bus catches up with the other bus, the two buses end up travelling together. If the route is a long one, a third bus could eventually catch up with the first two.

Check it out the next time you hop (跳上) a bus!

A．There’s supposed to be a bus every 10 minutes.

B．But you don’t know the exact time the bus will arrive.

C．The problem is the different numbers of people at the stops.

D．Some people claim that bus bunching doesn’t happen very often.

E．And soon after several more stops, the second bus catches up with the first.

F．Find the probability that the waiting time is longer than you expected.

G．It takes longer than usual for the passengers to board the first bus that arrives.

10 . During the COVID-19, some city buses and trains have run empty, while others have been crowded. In Los Angeles, ridership on the LA Metro has dropped from about 12 million to around 4000 a weekday. Meanwhile, various lines in New York City have run at a dangerous capacity (容量).

To address this and other problems during COVID-19, some cities are turning to programs called microtransit (微交通). They operate like Uber, but the technology companies create the digital routing and ride-hailing (叫车) platforms for transport agencies. According to Jerome Mavaud, lead data was scientist with microtransit company Spare Labs, cities can use the platforms with public transport to meet individual needs and to offer rides that can be more affordable than merely private operations. “Imagine Uber and a city bus had a baby,” Mayaud says.

Since the start of the COVID-19, cities have turned to microtransit to offer vital rides, like moving seniors or nurses to hospitals. Supporters of microtransit say the technology behind these apps could be used to combat COVID-19 in other ways. For instance, the apps could help track the spread of the disease and warm rider if they shared a ride with someone who later tested positive a tool called sold contact tracing (跟踪). Another tool to reduce the spread of the disease is developed within the platforms themselves. Cities can set a rider maximum per trip — informing drivers not to pick up any more than that set number — functionally enforcing social distance on the rides.

Experts are mixed on the proposals. Some say contact tracing disturbs privacy (隐私). Others say microtransit could play a useful role as city streets begin to return to normal. It could replace some fixed-route transport route in the future. Further, one of microtransit’s biggest strengths, normally, is getting people to and from bus and train stations, making it easier for people to use traditional public transport. It could also be used in rural areas with infrequent public transport service and large distances between stops.

1. Why is the programs of microtransit launched?

A．To improve traffic efficiency.	B．To remove COVID-19.
C．To reduce traffic jams.	D．To ensure road safety.

2. What’s feature of microtransit?

A．It is much cheaper than public transport.

B．It is mainly used to move people to hospitals.

C．It is a service under the authority of Uber.

D．It is public transport for private use.

3. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A．What technology is behind microtransit.

B．How microtransit could help fight COVID-19.

C．Contact tracing helps reduce the spread of COVID-19.

D．Microtransit has become the main means of transport.

4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Microtransit has a promising future.

B．Microtransit will go out of use after COVID-19.

C．Microtransit will replace traditional public transport.

D．Microtransit has met with experts' general approval.
