3 . Bike-friendly cities around the world

Cycling is kind to the environment so it is an excellent way to take in the city. Here are 4bike-friendly cities having adopted this green mode of transport to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Montréal, Canada

Montréal has already established protected bike paths since the 1980s. BIXI is the city’s bike-sharing system with 9, 600 bikes and almost 800 stations. Cyclists can make their visit to the Tour de L’lle Montreal, a yearly bike ride where cyclists take to the streets for a day without any other vehicles being allowed on the roads.

Malmö, Sweden

Cycling in Malmö is enjoyable due to the relaxed and easy-going manner of most cyclists. The calming atmosphere makes it a great experience, even for nervous riders. A highly recommended bike route is from Ribersborg park to Limhamn Harbour, where riders can take a few good photos of the famous Oresund Bridge.

Beijing, China

In the 1970s, bicycles were the main mode of transportation for people in Beijing. However, dedicated (专用的) cycle paths for cyclists were limited. Only in May 2019, did the city launch its first specific cycle path. This achievement in cycling facility is worth a shout-out for a city with over 21 million people.

Bogota, Colombia

Bogota first introduced the concept of cycle path in 1974. The idea sees cars being banned from city roads every Sunday from 7 a.m.to 2 p.m., helping cyclists, runners and walkers exercise safely. Since then, the city has slowly but steadily expanded the program, including setting up dedicated cycle paths. As a result, Bogota now has 550km of bike paths and is the most bike-friendly city in Latin America.

1. What make(s)Montréal different from other cities?

A．A well-developed bike-sharing system.

B．The oldest protected bike paths.

C．An annual bicycle event.

D．The most calming effect on cyclists.

5 .

Generally, if you have been delayed on a train journey, you may be able to claim compensation, but train companies all have different rules, so it can be confusing to work out what you’ re entitled to. The type of delay you can claim for depends on whether the train company runs a Delay Repay scheme or a less generous, older-style scheme.
Delay Repay is a train operator scheme to compensate passengers when trains are late, and the train company will pay out even if it was not responsible for the delay. The scheme varies between companies, but up to 2016 most paid 50 percent of the single ticket cost for 30 minutes’ delay and 100 percent for an hour. On the London Underground, you get a full refund for 15-minute delays.
Companies that do not use Delay Repay and still use the older scheme will not usually pay compensation if the problem is considered to be out of their control. But it is still worth asking them for compensation, as some may pay out. You are unlikely to get compensation for a delay if any of the following occur: ·Accidents involving people getting onto the line illegally ·Gas leaks or fires in buildings next to the line which were not caused by a train company ·Line closures at the request of the emergency services ·Exceptionally severe weather conditions ·Strike action
National Rail Conditions of Travel states that you are entitled to compensation in the same form that you paid for the ticket. Some train companies are still paying using rail vouchers, which they are allowed to do if you do not ask for a cash refund. Since 2016, rail passengers have acquired further rights for compensation through the Consumer Rights Act. This means that passengers could now be eligible for compensation due to: a severely overcrowded train with too few carriages available; a consistently late running service; and a service that is delayed for less than the time limit that applied under existing compensation schemes. However, in order to exercise their rights beyond the existing compensation schemes, for instance Delay Repay, and where the train operating company refuses to compensate despite letters threatening court action, passengers may need to bring their claims to a court of law.

1. The above information is mainly intended for__________.

A．international tourists in the UK	B．local residents in the UK
C．passengers claim for delayed train	D．potential travellers of the trains

2. What can be learned from the Delay Repay?

A．A train company will only provide compensation if it caused the delay.

B．The systems for claiming compensation vary from one company to another.

C．Underground and other train companies give the same amounts of money in compensation.

D．An increasing number of train companies are willing to pay compensation for problems they are not responsible for.

3. You cannot get compensation if __________.

A．you write letters of complaint

B．you forget to request cash refund

C．a delay is caused by a strike under the older scheme

D．a train company has received lots of complaints

European Transport Systems

It is difficult to conceive of vigorous economic growth without an efficient transport system. Although modern information technologies can reduce the demand for physical transport by    1    teleworking and teleservices, the requirement for transport continues to increase. For passenger transport, the    2    factor is the spectacular growth in car use. The number of cars on European Union(EU)roads saw an increase of three million cars each year from 1990 to 2010, and in the next years the EU will see a further    3    increase in its fleet.

As far as goods transport is concerned, growth is due to a large extent to changes in the European economy and its system of production. In the last 20 years, as internal frontiers have been    4    , the EU has moved from a “stock” economy to a “flow“ economy.   This phenomenon has been emphasised by the    5    of some industries, particularly those which are labour intensive, to reduce production costs, even though the production site is hundreds or even thousands of kilometres away from the final assembly plant or away from users.

The strong economic growth expected in countries which are candidates for    6    to the EU will also increase transport flows, in particular road haulage traffic. In 1998, some of these countries already    7    more than twice their 1990 volumes and imported more than five times their 1990 volumes. And although many candidate countries    8    a transport system which encourages rail, the distribution between modes has tipped sharply in favour of road transport since the 1990s.

However, a new imperative—sustainable development—offers an opportunity for adapting the EU’s common transport policy. This objective, agreed by the Gothenburg European Council, has to be achieved by integrating environmental considerations into Community policies, and    9    the balance between modes of transport lies at the heart of its strategy. The ambitious objective can only be fully achieved by 2020, but proposed measures are nonetheless a first essential step towards a sustainable transport system which will    10    be in place in 30 years’ time.

10 . 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。

Monorails (单轨列车) have been around for more than a century and examples can be found all over the world,     1     they’ve never quite fulfilled the futuristic promises of their early promoters. That said, there are a few places where the unique     2     (quality) offered by monorails are ideally suited to their environment.

Chongqing, a megacity which     3     (locate) in southwestern China, is home to the world’s longest and one of its busiest monorail system, carrying millions of passengers a year on two high-capacity “straddle beam” lines     4     (total) 61 miles in length. At just over 34 miles, Line 3 is also the world's longest single monorail line     5     an annual ridership of around 250 million.     6     (put) into operation between 2005 and 2016, the two lines have 70 stations with a mix of underground and elevated sections.     7     (famous), one section of Line 2 passes through the heart of a high-rise apartment block.

Back in the 1990s, the city’s unique geography, with extreme differences in altitude between its densely populated mountain plateaus and the Yangtze and Jialing river valleys,     8     (force) Chongqing’s transport authorities to seek     9     alternative to conventional subway trains. Monorail’s capacity     10     (negotiate) steep climbs and tight curves made it the ideal solution when this megacity needed to transform its public transport system.
