     Some people think that they have an answer to the problems of automobile crowding and pollution in large
cities. Their answer is the bicycle, or bike.
     In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike
riders have even formed a group called "Bike for a Better City". They claim that if more people rode bicycles
to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air
from car engines.
     For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders. For example,
they want the city to paint special lanes-for bicycles only-on some of the main streets, because when bicycle
riders must use the same lanes as cars, there may be accidents. "Bike for Better City" feels that if there were
special lanes, more people would use bikes.
     But no bicycle lanes have been painted yet. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea. Taxi drivers don't like the
idea-they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don't like the idea-they say that if there
is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.
     The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends,
Central Park-the largest open place in New York-is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only.
But "Bike for a Better City" says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown. Until
that happens, the safest place to bicycles may be in the park.
1. The underlined word"automobiles" in the second paragraph means _____.
A. trains
B. cars
C. planes
D. ships
2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Special lanes are needed on every street.
B. The Central Park is closed to cars on weekdays.
C. "Bike for a Better City" members ride bicycles to work.
D. Accidents won't happen if cars and bikes are on different lanes. 
3. No bicycle lanes have been painted yet because _____.
A. the idea hasn't been accepted by all
B. the main streets are not wide enough
C. the city government can't help to paint the lanes
D. there's no need for most people to travel by bike
4. This passage is mainly about _____.
A. city problems and "Bike for a Better City"
B. "Bike for a Better City" and the city government
C. the government's idea on traffic and city pollution
D. a suggestion on the city problems of traffic and pollution

閱讀理解

“ Cool ” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.

“ Cool ” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.

When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool . ” You may think, “He’s so cool，”when you see your favourite footballer.

We all maximize（擴大）the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “ new ”or “ surprising ”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall （瀑布）they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool. ” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.

But the story also shows a scarcity（缺乏）of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility （可信性）.

閱讀理解

We spent a few days in Paris last week. We visit the famous city quite regularly. After all, it only takes three hours from London to Pairs. It’s always a pleasure visiting places we really like, exploring areas we’ve never been.

The only unlucky thing this time was the weather. As soon as we got there the temperature reached almost 35 degrees C (which lasted until we left). It was so hot that Matthew just couldn’t stand it — for him, it wasn’t the most enjoyable trip. I felt sorry for him because every time we go there he has to put up with (忍受) my endless shopping spree (狂歡) …

Because of the heat, we ended up just having lots of ice-cream and drinks most of the time, although we managed to pay a few visits to the new Herme shop on rue de Vaugirard at least. It’s not as busy as the shop on rue Bonaparte so you can choose whatever you like without worrying about a queue behind you! I really enjoyed his bread this time as well as the cakes. And I must say that his Croissant aux Amandes and Bostock were simply the best I’ve ever had.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?

A．It was the first time for the writer to go to Paris.

B．It was a long way from London to Paris.

C．The writer lives in London.

D．The writer only likes to go to places she has never been to.

2. The underlined word “stand” in the second paragraph means ____.

A．享受

B．忍受

C．站立

D．位于

3. What can you know about Matthew from the second paragraph? 

A．He doesn’t like shopping.

B．He doesn’t like travelling.

C．He is one of the writer’s relatives.

D．He isn’t a good husband.

4. The shops on rue Bonaparte ____.

A．has no bread that the writer likes

B．is often crowded with customers

C．don’t have anything the writer likes

D．is not very busy all the time

5.What’s the best title for the passage?

C．A shopping centre

D．A trip to Paris
