Question

【题目】 Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams （阻塞）and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes （废气）.So the city began a scheme （计划）to improve the situation.

Under the Velib scheme （ “ Velib” comes from velo liberte, or “ bicycle freedom” ） people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you do not return it after 30 minutes , you have to pay. it's only 1 a day or 29 a year! The bicycles are heavy（25 kg） , and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!

Paris is not the first city to have a scheme like this. But not everybody thinks it is a great idea. One Parisian said, "These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they wont use a bicycle - they'll still use their cars."

A city spokesman said, “The bicycle scheme will not settle all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There are not any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems in our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too."

细节理解题。根据文章第二段的So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations“所以Velib站比298个地铁站要多得多”。可知在Velib计划中，自行车车站要比汽车车站多得多。故选A。

【2】

细节理解题。根据文章第二段的But it's only1 a day or29 a year!可知骑自行车一个小时，需要付费1，根据前文半小时内是免费的，超过半小时需要付费。可知如果你用Velib一个小时，你应该付1欧元。故选D。

细节判断题。根据文章第四段的But not everybody thinks it is a great idea. One Parisian said, "These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they wont use a bicycle - they'll still use their cars."（但并不是所有人都认为这是个好主意。一个巴黎人说:“这些自行车只适合短途旅行。如果人们想在城市里旅行，他们不会使用自行车，他们还是会使用汽车。”）由此可知，有些人不同意Velib计划是因为它不适合长途旅行。故选C。

【4】
