A
The ebike has becme an essential item, and even the King has been sptted riding ne. Accrding t the market research cmpany Mintel, sales have almst tripled ver the past five years. While ebikes have becme increasingly cmmnplace, they are still undeniably expensive. Yu can pick up a perfectly adequate push bike fr £ 300, but mst ebikes cst nearly £2, 000. Nw, Cycling Electric, designed t help cnsumers chse an ebike, ffers the fllwing recmmendatins.
Best flding bike
Carb Mdel X
Price: £2, 799 | Weight: 13. 3kg | Range: up t 34 miles
This is ne f the mst cnvenient bikes frm a little-knwn label. The lightweight Carb X is the perfect example f cnvenience thanks t its carbn frame and belt drive, instead f a metal bike chain. This makes it lighter and less likely t get messy than an electric Brmptn, with its mre traditinal, ily chain.
Mst stylish
Temple Cycles Classic
Price: frm f2, 995 | Weight: 19kg | Range: up t 74 miles
This Bristl-based brand is knwn fr its elegant pushbikes, which are hand-built in the city. This is its electric versin. It’s a very fashinable and functinal cmmuter (通勤) ptin and nt t heavy. Temples have fewer prprietary (品牌专卖的) parts and s are serviceable in any bike shp. Stylish as they may be, the VanMfs and the Cwbys can be a bit mre cmplex t get back-up and service.
The mney-n-bject ptin
Riese Muiller Nev4 GT Vari GX
Price: 5, 380 | Weight: 28. 4kg | Range: up t 93 miles
This is a prime example f the attentin t detail delivering a high-quality experience in functinality, cmfrt and practicality-if yu can affrd it. It has the capacity t handle 25kg f luggage in a pannier (货筐), pwerful rad lights and a beautifully smth mtr.
21. What is the advantage f the Temples ver ther ebike brands?
A. They have easier access t service. B. They have mre functins.
C. They are mre lightweight. D. They are mre cmfrtable
22. Which ebike will a cnsumer caring mst abut an excellent experience prbably chse?
A. Carb Mdel X. B. The VanMfs and the Cwbys
C. Riese &Muller Nev4 GT Vari GX. D. Temple Cycles Classic.

Since September I’ve been living in a hall, just a stne’s thrw frm the Thames. Campus is a25-minute walk frm my hall, which is acrss the river and dwn Fleet Street. There, in The Lndn Schl f Ecnmics and Plitical Science (LSE), I take curses in scial plicy, philsphy and public plicy, public management and behaviural ecnmics.
In the first few weeks we cvered hw t measure well-being, hw t distribute health care resurces, and the rigins f the welfare state, t name nly a few. I’ve had great supprt frm my academic adviser, wh I was tld is really smebdy and highly respected in the field f scial plicy.
I learn lads f things each day and mre imprtantly, what I learn feels relevant. Lking back, I can better understand the wrk I did in the gvernment, and hw the appraches I’ve learned wrk in sme situatins r fail in ther situatins, After ne term, I can feel my viewpint change frm 50 feet t 50, 000 feet.
Prbably the mst difficult part f attending graduate schl verseas isn’t the educatin itself but rather the act f “putting the previus life n hld”. I think this is especially true fr students wh have already started their prfessinal life r are a cuple f years senir.
But there are plenty f benefits, and I feel that time at LSE passes faster than I realize. Already, I’ve made friends with students frm dzens f ther cuntries, which brings great advantages and fun. Perhaps what unites us is the great British traditin f meeting each ther at the end f the week fr entertainment at the cafe. In fact, I’m abut t make my way there nw.

C. Leaving ne’s frmer life behind fr nw.
D. Gaining a deep understanding f British traditins.
27. What can be inferred abut the authr frm the last paragraph?

Small changes in dietary habits may make a big difference. Climate activists ften target fssil fuels and transprtatin systems, but studies pint t the fd system as a significant cntributr t glbal warming. Accrding t Prject Drawdwn, a research rganizatin that evaluates climate slutins, the way fd is grwn, transprted, and cnsumed accunts fr abut a quarter f the wrld’s greenhuse gas emissins. Beef is a regular target. “If, n average, Americans cut a quarter pund f beef per week frm their diet, it’s like taking 10 millin cars ff the rad a year, says Sujatha Bergen, directr f health campaigns fr the Natural Resurces Defense Cuncil. Fd waste ranks third amng climate slutins. While much waste ccurs befre cnsumers are invlved-fd left n the field r thrwn away because it des nt fit appearance standards, Americans als thrw ut a lt f fd they have purchased: abut $1, 600 wrth a year per family f fur.
“Peple are beginning t understand that their fd chices make a big impact n climate, says MeganLarmer, directr f reginal fd at the Glynwd Center fr Reginal Fd and Farming in New Yrk. But, she cautins substantial change will need t cme frm the whle fd system.
28. Why did the University f Massachusetts adpt the new menu?
A. T prmte lw carbn awareness. B. T reduce the cst f fd packaging.
C. T ppularize the plant-heavy diet. D. T market the lcal farming prducts.
