【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D. An outdated legal system.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.
