C

One day after we moved to our farm, I found that two of the neighbor’s cows and a calf had wandered through the fence along our woods. The neighbor, Lorne Wright showed up with his dog to herd them back into his grassland—and with part of a roll of nine-wire fence.

＂There’s probably enough to reach from the road to the first brace post if you were of a mind to fix this spot,＂ he said. My face lit right up. I wanted to be a good neighbor, but money was tight.

The next week I was pulling the old fence out of the tall grass when Bill Risk stopped his car. He said,

＂Fixing fence, are you? Hear a story? A long time ago, two fellows farmed next to each other, so they agreed that each would start building fence on opposite ends of their farms and meet in the middle.＂

＂When they finished, one said, ‘Well, it looks good.’ But the other said, ‘My half looks good, because I started where I should have, but you started your half about 2 feet over on my farm and I want it moved right away!’＂

＂Well, these two fellows, who could have been good neighbors, began to get angry with each other, and the bitterness went on for years. Finally one man sold his farm, and no sooner had the new owner moved in than his neighbor paid him a visit. ＂

＂He said, ‘There has always been a problem with our line fence. Your half begins 2 feet over on my farm. It should have been moved a long time ago.’ The new neighbor thought for a moment, then said, ‘I always intend to be a good neighbor. If you think the fence is on your farm, you move it to wherever you think it should be, and you’ll never hear a complaint from me.’＂

＂They became good friends. And the fence was never moved. So keep that fence straight, neighbor,＂ Bill went away, leaving me with a smile on my face as I went back to work.

【題文1】 How did the writer feel after hearing his neighbor’s words?

A. Excited. B. Embarrassed. C. Puzzled. D. Satisfied.

【題文2】After finishing their fence, the two fellows _________.

A. celebrated for building a solid fence B. have become good neighbors even since

C. started right off with hard feelings D. argued about whose fence was good

【題文3】How did the new owner treat the fence?

A. By moving it to his property. B. By finding where it should be first.

C. By taking it apart immediately. D. By allowing the neighbor to deal with it.

【題文4】What lesson can we learn from the text?

A. Good fences make good neighbors. B. Two neighbors build their fences.

C. Fences have their own stories. D. Keep your fence strong and tall.

The bike-sharing companies that are powering a transportation revolution in China’s urban centers are not like those in the rest of the world. Their bikes have no docking ports or assigned zones for parking. Instead, riders open their smartphone apps, hop on, and start riding. So easy!

In 2015, Ofo, China’s bike-share pioneer, launched its first fleet of bicycles in Beijing. The bikes’ bright yellow frames were soon met by the orange-rimmed（鑲邊）, basket-equipped models launched by Mobike, Ofo’s main competitor today. In little over a year, the two companies have had a huge impact on revitalizing (重振) cycling in China, particularly among young people.

Ofo placed 1 million bicycles across 35 cities and registered 15 million users in its first years, while Mobike has now gained more than 10 million unique users and bicycles in 21 cities. Inspired by their success, at least 10 other companies have jumped into the market, launching their own app-powered, brightly colored bikes in quick succession. But Mobike and Ofo are far ahead of them.

The two industry leaders each take a different marketing method to a similar product. The Mobike app uses GPS to display bikes’ locations to users. They can use the map to reserve a bike and walk over to it. A scan of the bike’s QR code (二維碼) unlocks the bike, and when users manually（手動地） lock the bike at the end of their trip, the app records the trip’s end and the bike will pop back up on the map as available. Equipped with this wireless technology, Mobikes cost between 1,000 and 3,000 yuan. Rides cost 1 yuan for an hour or a half hour, depending on whether a user chooses a “Lite” or regular bike, and the deposit (押金) required to the service is 299 yuan.

Ofo, meanwhile, is devoted not just to producing its own bikes, which have slim yellow bodies and cost about 250 yuan, but also to connecting existing bikes to its network----- a philosophy that begins with the practice of 2000 bikes offered to a campus bike-share program. The 2000 bikes were the first generation of Ofo. Yet the majority of the company’s bikes are currently ones that have been specially manufactured and fitted with their lock system. Unlike Mobike,Ofo bikes themselves are offline: their locations are tracked through users’ cell phones. Users find a free bike, enter the license plate number into their app, and receive the bike unlock code. When they have reached their destination, they end the ride on the app and manually lock the bike. Rides cost 1 yuan for an hour and the deposit is 99 yuan.

1.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The bike rides based on apps are available whenever you need.

B. The bike body in bright color only attracts young people to choose cycling.

C. Ofo knows their bikes’ location by scanning the bike’s QR code.

D. The bikes are locked automatically when the users reached their destination.

2.Which of the following is close to the meaning of the underlined word “succession ”in the 3rd paragraph?

A. successful experience. B. movement to action.

C. continuous process . D. production line.

3.How are Ofo bikes different from Mobikes?

① no need for online condition.

② without their own lock system.

③ not only to produce ofo bikes but also put existing ones to use.

④ to unlock the bike through app.

⑤ to lock the bike by QR code

A. ①②⑤ B. ②③④

C. ②④⑤ D. ①③④

4.What is the best title of the passage?

A. Bike-sharing business models: Mobike and Ofo.

B. A real transportation innovation（創(chuàng)新）: app-powered bicycles.

C. The successful secret of two bike-sharing companies.

D. Cool experience of app-powered bicycles.
