Question

       Copenhagen, one of the world’s most bicycle-friendly cities, has begun turning its extensive network of cycle paths into bike highways in an effort to push more commuters (上下班往返的人) to leave their cars at home.

       Considered one of Europe’s two “bicycle capitals” along with Amsterdam, Copenhagen counts more bicycles than people and cycling is so popular that its numerous bike paths can become congested.

       Two-wheeler traffic jams are especially regular on the main Noerrebrogade thoroughfare (大街) used by around 36,000 cyclists a day. “You have to elbow your way (挤过去) to go forward and some cyclists aren’t always thoughtful,” complains 22-year-old university student Lea Bresell.

       The creation of bike highways “comes right on time”, says Danish Cyclist Federation spokesman Frits Bredal. “Copenhagen’s roads are overloaded with people who want to ride their bicycles in all kinds of weather,” he says.

       If in the 1960s Danes viewed the car as the symbol of freedom, the bicycle has assumed that role today, Bredal says.

       “It’s a means of transportation used by all social classes, and even politicians ride bikes,” he says.

       It is on crowded Noerrebrogade — the busiest bicycle street in Europe — that city planners have decided to build the first of Copenhagen’s environmentally friendly streets. The jammed bike paths will be widened up to four meters on either side of the road, which will itself be reserved for buses only.

       The idea is to make Noerrebrogade “Europe’s great cycling street”, says Andreas Roehl, the Copenhagen city’s bicycle program manager who is also known as “Mister Bike”.

       But Roehl is not content with making life easier for Copenhagen’s inner city cyclists: He wants to get suburbanites (郊区居民) out of their cars and onto two wheels as well.

       His goal is to increase the percentage of suburban commuters cycling to and from the city from the 33 percent it is today to more than 50 percent by 2015. Within the city, 55 percent of all commuters already travel by bike.

       Already Copenhagen stands out among other European capitals for its cycling infrastructure, counting more than 390 kilometers of bike paths.

Answer 1

61.A主旨大意题。文章的第一段是本文的主题所在，再结合接下来的内容可知本文主要讲丹麦首都哥本哈根计划将现有的自行车车道改建为自行车上下班，故A项最佳。

62.B细节理解题。根据第三段第二句中的You have to elbow your way (挤过去) to go forward and some eyclists aren’t always thoughtful 可知 Lea Bresell 认为主干道诺勒布罗加德街的自行车道交通现状是糟糕的。

63.C推理判断题。根据第七段最后一句The jammed bike paths will be widened up to four meters on either side of the road, which will itself be reserved for buses only 可知主干道诺勒布罗加德街两旁分别加宽4米作为自行车专用道，主干道将作为公交车专用道。故可判断诺勒布罗加德街加宽后不充许小汽车通行。

64.D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句His goal is to increase the percentage of suburban commuters cycling to and from the city from the 33 percent it is today to more than 50 percent by 2015. 可知郊区骑自行车上下班的人数目前只有33%，故线D项。

65.A细节理解题。根据最后一段Already Copenhagen stands out among other European capitals for its cycling infrastructure, counting more than 390 kilometers of bike paths 可知与其他欧洲国家的首都相比，丹麦相比，丹麦首都哥本哈根的自行车道最长。

　 【解题导语】这是一篇环保类说明文。由于人类采取了一系列的保护措施，某些濒危动物的数量逐渐增加，但对于人类来说保持物种多样性任重道玩。

　 【长难句解读】（I）Losses in these groups would have been about 20 percent greater had it not been for recent action of protection. 这是一个表示与过去事实相反的虚拟语气的句子，虚拟条件句中的if省略，而将had 提前，正常语序是：Losses in these groups would have been about 20 percent greater if it had not been for recent action of protection.

　 (2)Two new goals set by the group are to designate (指定) 10 percent of the world’s ocean and 17 percent of land environments as protected areas to help increase endangered-animal population.

　 尽管这个句子很长，却是一个简单句，句子的主语是Two new goals, set by the group 是过去分词短语作后置定语, are to designate 是句子的谓语，to help increase endangered-animal population 是不定式短语作目的状语。
