Paris mayr Anne Hidalg has lng wrked t make her city less dependent n cars. She wanted t see mre peple using bicycles t get arund. Over a number f years, the city gvernment set limits n cars and increased the amunt f bike paths frm 200 kilmeters t ver 1,000 kilmeters.
This year, Parisians are nt cmplaining abut t much autmbile traffic. Instead, they say there are t many bikes. “Nw, it’s really like a bike traffic jam(阻塞),” Thibault Quere, a spkespersn fr France’s Federatin f Bicycle Users, said. ”It’s kind f a gd difficulty t have, especially when we think abut what Paris used t be.”
Sme famus rads alng the River Seine are cmpletely clsed t cars. Nw yu see peple riding bikes, running and walking with their families alng the river. In anther part f Paris, a bike path n Sebastpl Bulevard is ne f the busiest in Eurpe, after pening in 2019. In ne week in early September, it reached a recrd high f 124,000 riders.
The city will hst the Summer Olympics in 2024 and plans t add mre bike paths by then. Paris wants t reduce its pllutin by half during the games, even as visitrs frm arund the wrld will be in the city fr the event. Organizers say all f the cmpetitin sites will be reachable by bike thrugh a 60-kilmeter netwrk f bike paths.
The change t Paris, hwever, has nt been easy. With mre peple using bikes, mre peple are making mistakes. Sme f them are new t cycling and disbey traffic rules. But the envirnment may be imprving. Cycling is gd exercise and helps reduce pllutin, which is still a prblem fr the large city. The French gvernment blames atmspheric pllutin fr 48,000 early deaths in the cuntry each year.
Hidalg was re-elected in 2020 and plans t keep making what she calls a “Paris that breathes”. Her newest five-year bike plan includes ver $250 millin fr mre bike paths and bike parking. The new budget is an increase f ver $100 millin frm her first five-year plan.
4. What can be learned frm the secnd paragraph?
A. Hidalg’s effrt has paid ff. B. Parisians prefer t travel by car.
C. Parisians find it difficult t ride bikes. D. Quere disagrees with Hidalg.
5. Why des the authr mentin the data in paragraph 3?
A. T cmpare the famus rads in France.
B. T praise peple enjying riding bicycles.
C. T stress the imprtance f France in Eurpe.
D. T shw hw busy a cycle path is in Paris.
6. What d the rganizers prbably wish visitrs t d during the Summer Olympics in 2024?
A. Tur lcal bike shps. B. Ride t cmpetitin sites.
C. Prmte the sights in France. D. Supprt the athletes arund the wrld.
7. Which wrd can best describe Anne Hidalg?
A. Friendly. B. Helpful. C. Determined. D. Hnest.

If yu’ve ever watched a dg nap, yu’ve prbably wndered if animals dream. It’s a cmplicated questin. We still dn’t knw exactly why humans dream. Studying animal dreams is even harder; dgs can’t tell us what made them whine (哀鸣) during a nap. Hwever, a recent study suggests spiders may experience REM-like (类快速眼动) sleep and even visual dreams. It sunds unusual, but it may be true.
Rats recall maze memries
After rats run a maze (迷宫) during the day, they can rerun the same curse while asleep,research has shwn. When awake, a rat’s hippcampus, a part f the brain respnsible fr making and string memries, remembers the neurn (神经元) pattern f navigating the maze. Later when asleep, the brain reprduces the identical pattern, suggesting the rat remembers the maze.
This 2001 finding was ne f the first t suggest that animals had cmplex dreams. Thse rat brain studies shw that when maze memries ccur during sleep, the visual imagery that went alng with them is als reactivated, meaning the sleeping rats saw what they had seen in the maze while awake. The same has been fund fr auditry(听觉) and even emtinal areas that reactivate when the rat reruns the maze during REM sleep.
Zebra finches remember sngs
Despite being knwn fr their lyrical sngs zebra finches aren’t brn singers. The birds must learn by listening, practicing, and, perhaps, by dreaming.
In 2000 researchers learned that neurns in the birds’frebrains fire with a distinct pattern while they sing a sng. While the birds sleep, their brains reprduce this same pattern, replicating the sng they heard and sang that day, suggesting the birds remember and practice sngs in their sleep.
D dreaming birds relive their waking experiences? Or are singing dreams mre like algrithms(算法) running withut cnscius awareness? Scientists may be getting clser t finding ut.
Researcher Murrain says, “I wuld nt be surprised if actual dreams were fund in animals, and I think eventually we’ll be able t shw that scientifically. Yu did smething in the daytime,and yur brain will replay it, integrate it, and mix it with ther experiences. We’re nt the nly species capable f remembering and learning.”
8. Why is it mre difficult t study animal dreams?
A Animals rarely dream.B. Animals d nt speak.
C. Animals seldm snze.D. Animals d nt experience REM.
9. What can we say abut hippcampus?
A. It makes and stres memries.B. It remembers the pattern f the maze.
C. It enables rats t have cmplex dreams.D. It helps sleeping rats t see the maze clearly.
10. Which f the fllwing wuld Murrain mst prbably agree with?
A. What we fund in animals nw are nt actual dreams.
B. The science tday is unable t prve that animals d dream.
C. The fact that animals dream will sner r later be cnfirmed.
D. All animals in the wrld have the ability t remember and learn.
11. What might be the reasn that scientists cnduct this kind f research?
A. They want t find ut the relatinship between sleep and memry.
B. They hpe t prve that humans are the nly species that dream.
C. They try t understand animals’“dreams”and their influence n memry.
D. They attempt t imprve the learning ability f these animals.

The sweet art f painting with caramelized sugar(焦糖) can be witnessed in China’s Sichuan prvince. This ancient craft still manages t amaze turists lucky enugh t stumble upn a skilled street artist.
Accrding t experts, this type f Chinese flk art riginated frm the Ming Dynasty when sugar animals and figures were created as part f ceremnies fr sacrifice. During the Qing Dynasty, it gained even mre ppularity and the techniques were upgraded, which resulted in an increased number f patterns, mst f them inspired by nature, wildlife and religin. In the beginning, peple used mlds(模具) t shape the caramelized sugar, but they were gradually replaced with a small brnze (青铜的) spn that had t be used by talented artists wh were experts at the art f nrmal painting as well.
“Painting” artistic pieces frm melted sugar is very different frm regular painting. Because the ht sugar cls dwn very quickly, the painter has t wrk swiftly, making sure he fllws the crrect rder f strkes(一画，笔画) t get every shape just right. In rder t get familiar with the prcess and the technique, it’s recmmended that artists practice nrmal painting first.
Masters f this centuries-ld craft use brwn r white sugar as the main material. A brnze spn and a small spade as tls, and a slab(厚块) f marble as the canvas. The sugar is melted ver a fiery pt and spread ver the canvas with the spn. Once the shape is cmpleted, the spade is used t glue a wden stick t the artwrk and t separate it frm the marble slab. Then yu can have yur very wn caramelized sugar dragn r tiger and a unique suvenir.
The art is gaining supprt frm bth the general public and the gvernment, wh had it listed as a Prvincial Nn-Material Culture Heritage.
12. What des the underlined phrase prbably mean in this passage?
A. Emply.B. Attract.C. Becme.D. Encunter.
13. What can we knw abut the caramelized sugar painting in Qing Dynasty?
A. It played a mre imprtant rle in ceremnies.
B. The themes f the paintings were varius.
C. The mlds were cmpletely replaced by spns.
D. Mre peple were attracted t study paintings.
14. What makes sugar painting different frm regular painting?
A. The rder f strkes.B. The number f the patterns.
C. The drawing materials.D. The tpics f the paintings.
15. What des the furth paragraph mainly talk abut?
A. The histry f making sugar paintings.B. The prcess f creating sugar paintings.
