【题目】I began cycling in 2004 when I was a poor student. It was dangerous, sure, but cycling is the fastest, cheapest point-to-point form of transport in Melbourne. I own a car now, but that’s just for transporting the baby or groceries.

I hate driving. So it’s been quite encouraging watching the growth in cyclist numbers over the past decade. It is said that over 10,000 cyclists enter the CBD (Central Business District) each day, taking pressure off public transport. But as more people take to cycling as a way of transport, the number of cyclists seriously injured or killed keeps increasing. And that is a sign that our infrastructure (基础设施) is still not good enough.

Melbourne was once a dream for cyclists--flat, long, wide roads, with plenty of paths along rivers. Now, cycling can be deadly, with roads taken up by cars. I have a friend who broke her back and was lucky to escape death and others with broken bones. In my time riding, I’ve been forced off the road by a truck, cut off by four-wheel drives, and told to get off the road. Drivers are a particularly rude to cyclists. And that’s a sign of exactly one thing: inadequate infrastructure.

We shouldn’t need to be taught how to coexist in the same narrow space. Drivers and cyclists should be kept apart. Designing bike paths so riders are channelled between moving cars and parked cars is deadly. All it takes is one daydreaming driver to fling open the door and you are gone. That’s what happened to the young university student James.

This year, there are to be new cycling lanes (车道) built on Glen Road, where James died in 2010. But these lanes are not safe. Cyclists must still pass between two rows of cars.

1What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Some people hating driving.

B. More cyclists having accidents.

C. More people choosing to cycle.

D. Distracted driving happening a lot.

2What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A. Many people are bad at cycling.

B. There are many cars in Melbourne.

C. It’s dangerous to cycle in Melbourne.

D. Melbourne was once very beautiful.

3Which was the major cause of James’ death according to the author?

A. Cross’ carelessness.

B. A driver’s mistake.

C. Unsafe bike paths.

D. An outdated legal system.

4What is the purpose of the text?

A. To stress the necessity of safe bike paths.

B. To encourage readers to cycle.

C. To criticize rude driving behavior.

D. To tell a personal story.

【题目】 Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind, football, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.

Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a "team game". We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no "matches" between teams of climbers, but when climbers are on a rockface linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously team work. The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature, his sport requires high mental and physical qualities.

A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

1Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A.Differences between Golf and Mountaineering.B.Sports and Games.

C.Mountaineering.D.Why are so many people crazy about mountaineering?

2The mountaineering can also be called a team sport because_______.

A.mountain climbers usually compete in groups

B.mountaineers depend on each other while climbing

C.mountaineering climbers are free to use their own rules to climb

D.mountaineering is a sport not a game

3The biggest difference between golf and mountaineering lies in_______.

A.team gameB.enjoyment

C.ageD.rules

4In the author's opinion, one of the most important reason why so many people enjoy mountaineering is that_______.

A.there are no man-made rules for mountaineers

B.mountaineering is a sport and not a game

C.it is one of the most dangerous sports

D.mountaineering bring us more enjoyment than other sports

【题目】 In January, 2017, snow began to fall across the Apennines. For days it came down, and the enormous drifts(雪堆)on the mountain grew taller by the hour.
