题目内容

【题目】Right in front of the Minneapolis Central Library, a row of green bikes sits parked in a special stand. Each bike is designed with the logo“ Nice Ride”-- the name of the city’s bike-share program.

Nice Ride bikes are a lot like the library books that people come here to borrow. To rent a bike, you simply use your membership card at a Nice Ride bike station. Members can rent one of l, 200 bikes from 138 stations throughout Minnesota’s largest city. People use the Nice Ride bikes to go to work, to go out on business , or just to enjoy the city’s many bike paths.

The rise of bike-share programs like Nice Ride is encouraging more people than ever to choose biking over driving. Skyrocketing gas prices and concerns about the environment have also gotten people to dust off their bike helmets, pump air into flat tires, and hit the road.

Why ride? Not only is biking good exercise but switching from a car to a bike also cuts down the amount of pollution in the air. Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas linked to climate change, is one of the many polluting substances that come out of a car’s tail pipe.

Bike-share systems are found around the world in cities like London, Paris, Barcelona, and Melbourne, Australia. The largest program with 70,000 bikes--is in Wuhan, China.

To make roads friendlier to non-motorists, the U. S. Department of Transportation has invested more than a billion dollars in cycling and pedestrian projects in recent years. The money went toward building thousands of miles of on-street bike lanes and pedestrian-only passages called greenways.

1Which of the following can people do with the bikes?

A. Earn a living. B. Enjoy bikeways.

C. Compete in a race. D. Rent them out to others.

2What is Paragraph four mainly about?

A. Benefits of biking. B. Pollution caused by cars.

C. Methods to use the bikes. D. Measures to decrease pollution.

3Which of the following is true of Nice Ride?

A. China has better public bike systems.

B. It will take the place of taxi companies.

C. It attracts more people to choose biking.

D. The government lacks money to support it.

4What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?

【题目】Your next car could have two seats, three wheels---two in front and one in the back and a top speed of more than 100 miles per hour. Elio Motors plans to make such a tiny car named the Elio. Its two seats sit front and back instead of side by side. The driver is positioned in the center with the passenger directly behind.

The starting price for the car is just $6,800. It has only one door, on the left side, which cuts a few hundred dollars off the manufacturing costs. Having three wheels also makes it cheaper. It has air conditioning, power windows and door locks and an AM/FM radio. More features can be ordered through Elio’s long list of suppliers. Elio will also sell the cars directly through its own stores and not through franchised dealers (特约经销商).

Paul Elio dreamed as a kid that he would one day own a car company called Elio Motors. In 2008, tired of high gas prices, he started working on a car that burns gas in a more effective way. Equally important to him was creating U.S. manufacturing jobs and making the car inexpensive enough to attract buyers who might otherwise be stuck in their old, unreliable (不可靠的)cars. “Whatever matters to you, this can move the needle on it,” he said.

Already, more than 27,000 people have reserved (预订)one. Paul hopes to make 250,000 cars a year by 2016. So far, reservation holders are those who will use the Elio as a second car or third car for work. Finally, though, he believes the car will interest high school and college students as well as used-car drivers who want something newer and more reliable.

1Which of the following shows the design of the Elio?

(O=wheel, □=seat)

A. B.

C. D.

2Paragraph 2 shows that the Elio ________.

A. is sold at affordable prices

B. will be available in most stores

C. has a fixed temperature

D. does no harm to the environment

3The underlined words “move the needle” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “________”.

A. take a chance B. stand in the way

C. break into pieces D. make a difference

4What would be the best title for the text?

A. The history of Elio Motors B. Cool and practical vehicle

C. Paul Elio: a kid with big dreams D. What car to choose: new or used?
