【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。主要内容是一些国家鼓励人们骑行上班,但与此同时也产生了一些新的问题。

1考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处填非谓语动词,又因为of是介词,故填动名词,故填driving

2考查名词。句意:政府将向骑自行车的人每公里支付25美分。分析句子结构可知,空处填名词,再根据句意可知,cyclist意为“骑行者”,又因为参加比赛的骑行者应该不止一个,故用复数形式,故填cyclists

3考查名词。句意:他们将使用一款智能手机应用来记录每天的距离。分析句子结构可知,空处填名词,distancedistant的名词,意为“距离”,故填distance

7考查副词。句意:这自然意味着减少街道上的交通,增加健康福利。分析句子结构可知,空处填副词修饰动词meannaturallynatural的副词形式,意为“自然而然地”,故填naturally

8考查被动语态。句意:2014年,法国也出台了类似的计划,结果喜忧参半。分析句子结构可知,空处填时态,因为时间状语是2014年,时态是一般过去时,又因为planintroduce是被动关系,故此处用被动语态,综上,故填was introduced

9考查名词。句意:但大多数人使用的是公共交通工具,而不是私家车。分析句子结构可知,空处填名词,majority意为“多数”,是major的名词形式,故填majority

10考查介词。句意:在那些从汽车转向自行车的人当中,大多数已经在拼车。分析句子结构可知,those其后的making the move from cars to bicycles做定语,空处和those组成状语,表示“在……其中”,故用of those表示“在那些人当中”,故填Of

【题目】Whenever we talk about holidays, my mother teases my sister and me about how we “make out like robbers.” She is referring to the fact that we are half Jewish and half Indian, so we receive gits on both the. festivals of lights. Hanukkah and Diwali. Though my mother teases us, I do not mind getting two sets of gifts!

Hanukkah is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month. which is usually sometime in December. On Hanukkah, like most Jewish families. we light a menorah and say a prayer each night. We also say a special prayer on the first night. After that, it is a tradition tor my sister and me to do ‘hot and cold’, for our hidden Hanukkah gifts. When we walk towards the gift, our parents say ‘hot’ and when we walk further away, they say ‘cold’. We each receive one present every night of Hanukkah. Another part I like about this holiday is seeing family members who we do not see often. My aunt usually stays for a few days, and we sometimes visit other relatives.

Diwali is celebrated on the 13th day of the dark fortnight of the month of Ashwin(October / November). To celebrate Diwali, my family does a pooja, or prayers, in honor of the goddess Lakshmi.

In India, people decorate their houses with lamps, similar to the way you might light up your house for Christmas.

【题目】Albert Hofmann was a Swiss scientist who was fascinated by nature. This led him to a career in chemistry in which he sought answers to his uncertainties. He worked at Sandoz Laboratories where he nurtured his research work, and there he made a lot of success by working with various plants and changing them into something useful. He became famous when he became the first person to produce lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD)( 迷幻药). In addition, he was also the first person to taste it and learn about its hallucinogenic(引起幻觉的)effects. He was deeply connected to nature and argued that LSD, besides being useful for psychiatry (精神病学), could also be used to promote awareness of mankind’s place in nature. However, he was disappointed that his discovery was being carelessly used as a drug for entertainment. Because of his discovery, LSD fans have fondly called him “the Father of LSD”. Besides carrying out his scientific experiments, he also authored numerous books and more than 100 scientific articles. In 2007, he featured in a list of the 100 greatest living geniuses, published by The Telegraph Newspaper.

He had mind-blowing experiences in childhood. During his growth, nature was changed in magical ways that he didn’t understand. These experiences caused questions in his mind, and chemistry was the scientific field which allowed him to understand them.
