Some people think they have an answer to the troubles of automobile crowding and dirty air 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 scction 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 bike riders. For example, they want the city to draw bicycle lanes on some of the main streets, because when bike riders have to use the same lanps as cars, there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes more people would use bikes.

But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea—they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets 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. Only on weekends, Central Park 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.


D 26. According to the passage, bicycles_______.

A.are more convenient than cars

B.are safer traffic tools than cars

C.are ridden by most people in the U. S

D.are the solution to some city problems


B 27.The idea of special bicycle lanes is most favored by_______.

A. the city government

B. some bike riders

C. people living far from downtown

D. some store owners


C 28."Bicycle lanes" in the third paragraph probably means______.

A.narrow passages between buildings for bicycles

B.roads full of bicycles

C.special parts of the road for bicycle riders only

D.roads for bicycles only


D 29.Which of the following is not true according to the passage?

A.Bike for a Better City members ride bicycles to work.

B.Sometimes accidents may occur when cars and bikes are on the same lanes.

C.The Central Park is closed to cars on weekends.

D.In New York City, many people use bikes as they have special lanes.


D 30.The best title for this passage is______.

A. Traffic Crowding in New York City

B Air Pollution in New York City by Cars

C. Special Lanes for Passengers

D. Solution to Traffic Problem in New York

Who will stage the games?

Preparing for the Olympics Games is a huge undertaking. Just like the athletes, the host city spends years getting ready for the event. Before deciding which city will host the Olympic Games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has to examine bids from all over the world. Bidding for the games begins about ten years in advance. Without preparing a very strong bid, a city will not win the competition to host the games. Beijing was chosen for the 2008 games from five bidders — Osaka, Paris, Toronto and Istanbul.

Why does it take so long to prepare?

Building the infrastructure costs huge amounts of money. Holding the World Cup in 2002 in Japan and South Korea, for example, meant that ten new stadiums had to be built,
as well as many hotels and an improved transport system. In Beijing, after winning the bid the government began major construction projects—the extension of the underground, the improvement of the airport and the building of new motorways. Each host city must also build an Olympic village for the athletes. By planting trees and creating parks, the city becomes more attractive for tourists. Why do countries want to host the Olympic Games?

Hosting the games has a major effect on the economy and brings international prestige to the country. Thousands and thousands of visitors come to the games and the host cities are permanently improved.


D 31.Bidding for the Olympic Games usually starts______ before the games are really

held.

A. two years

B. eight years

C. one year

D. ten years


B 32.Beijing was one of the_______bidders for the 2008 games.

A. four

B. five

C. ten

D. three


D 33.The World Cup 2002 was held in______.

A. Japan

B. South Korea

C China

D. A and B


D 34.What construction projects did Beijing start after winning the bid?

A.The extension of the underground.

B.The improvement of the airport.

C.The building of new motorways.

D.All of the above.


D 35.Why do countries want to host the Olympic Games?

A.Because it has a major effect on the economy.

B.Because it brings international prestige to the country.

C.Because the host cities are permanently improved.

D.All of the above.

People who cannot tell all colors apart are said to be color blind. Most color-blind people can see yellow and blues, but confuse reds with greens. It is very rare for a person to be blind to all colors, but they may see everything in shades of black, white, and gray.

It is interesting to note that many color-blind people don't even realize that they are color-blind. They don't know that the colors they are seeing and naming are not the actual colors that people with normal vison can see. This can be particularly dangerous when a color-blind person confuses the red and green of a traffic light.

Color blindness is thought to be inherited(遗传)And although doctors have thought

up tests to determine

（测定）color blindness, there is no cure to treatment for it.

F 36.A color-blind person can tell red and green apart correctly.

T 37.Many color-blind people are unware (没意识到) that they are color-blind.

F 38.It's especially dangerous for a color-blind person to cross a street when there are no tiaffic lights at the cross of the streets.
