In some European countries,people really love bicycles.“People ride to work and take their bikes to the grocery store,”Bill Strickland,editor of Bicycling magazine,told the reporter from Reuters. So what has led to cyclings growing popularity in Europe?Cycling is “a safe,clean,healthy,inexpensive way to get around town,” the Daily Star concluded.“It not only reduces traffic problems and pollution,but also contributes to public health.” Bike-friendly rules have also been made.Lots of cities have joined a European Union initiative (倡议) to make bicycles a form of city transport,like cars.Quite a few cities such as Stockholm,London,Florence and Munich now offer special bike lanes.Copenhagen takes it a step further by keeping bicycles and cars separated as much as possible.On these routes,traffic lights are designed to the rhythms of bicycles,not cars.For people living far from city centers,getting to work by bicycle alone may take too much time.Thats why many European countries now allow cyclists to bring their bicycles onto subway trains.Europeans are also creative in solving parking problems.Amsterdam has come up with a high-tech solution:you lock your bike to a rack (机架),which then goes underground.When you want your bike back,it is brought back to the surface. 【语篇解读】本文描述的是欧洲人对自行车的热爱,以及与此相关的种种措施。 21.According to the passage,the following cities offer special bike lanes EXCEPT .

D.European people love bicycles. 答案 D 解析根据全文的陈述可知,本文描述的是欧洲人对自行车的热爱,以及与此相关的种种措施。 B London is in a valley.So towns in valleys see the surrounding air staying to the lower point.During the night,cold air from surrounding hills falls down in the valleys.The fog reputation of London,which called the smog,comes from the fact that the houses were,in the past,heated by coal.Houses and factories gave off much pollution in the air and,in order to condense (浓缩) into tiny water droplets,moisture (湿度) needs to be in contact with something that has a mass.So,the valley,the city,the coal heating,a high pressure with no wind and staying air. and you get the Londons smog. In common with many countries,Britain has serious environmental problems.In 1952,more than 4,000 people died in London because of the worst smog.The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot. Today,London is much cleaner but there is a new problem:smog from cars.In December 1991,there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot.As a result,about 160 people died from pollution in just four days. Part of the problem is the new “out of town” shopping centers.In the past,people often walked to shops near their homes or went by bus.Now,many people drive to the new shopping centers.As a result,the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping. Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain.Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work.Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and cost. Sometimes people take “direct action”.In 1995,for example,many people wanted to stop a new road from being built near Newbury.They set up houses in trees and lived there for many months.It took a long time to force the people out of the trees before the construction work on the road could continue. 【语篇解读】本文讲述了汽车产生的尾气所带来的危害及政府和人民采取的措施。 24.Which of the following isnt the direct cause of smog in London?

It may be hard to believe that a meal at McDonalds produces more carbon than your trip to a faraway place.More than 37% of the worlds land is used for agriculture,much of which was once forested.Deforestation (砍伐森林) is a major source of carbon.The fertilizer (化肥) and machinery needed on a modern farm also have a large carbon footprint,as does the network of ships and trucks that brings the food from the farm to your plate. The most efficient way to reduce the carbon footprint of your menu is to eat less meat,especially beef.Raising cattle takes a lot more energy than growing the equivalent (相等的) amount of grains,fruits or vegetables.Whats more,the majority of cattle in the US are fed on grain and loads of it670 million tons in 2002and the fertilizer used to feed that creates separate environmental problems. Focus on eating lower on the food chain,with more plants and fruits and less meat and dairy.Its simple.We can change today what goes into our bodies for the health of our planet and ourselves. 【语篇解读】本文是说明文。主要介绍了吃绿色食品的好处。 28.According to the passage,eating green will .
