第二节  阅读理解

About three decades ago, China was known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”．But the two­wheeled transport's popularity began to fade, with many bikes soon replaced by their fuel­powered competitors.

But recent months have seen a renaissance of the bike across China, with an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of driving to schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing.The introduction of bike­sharing schemes, first developed by new companies like Ofo and Mobike, has brought the trend to a new level.According to data from iResearch Consulting Group, the first week of this year saw 5.85 million active users of Mobike while Ofo had 1.4 million active users.

People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones.The bikes are equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public places for the next user.They're popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective answer to the “last mile” problem, which refers to a person's final journey.“In places where the subway doesn't reach and where it's difficult to change from one kind of transport to another, it's so easy to get where you want to go with Mobike，” Hu Hong, 29, said.She rides a bike to work.

However, the schemes have also led to problems such as illegal parking, vandalism (故意破坏) and theft.“Bike­sharing is a greener method of transportation and provides a user­friendly experience，” said Liu Xiaoming, Vice­Minister of Transport.“But it's a combination of online and offline business.Operators are usually strong in online services, but lack offline business experience.”

In fact, these problems are also shared by bike­sharing schemes abroad.Set up in 2007, Vélib is a large­scale public bike sharing system in Paris.By October, 2009, a large number of Vélib's initial bikes had to be replaced due to vandalism or theft.Bikes were found hanging from lampposts (街灯柱) or thrown into the Seine River.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。共享单车在中国兴起，这种创新的交通方式让人们的出行变得更便利的同时也存在着诸多问题。

11．What can we learn about Ofo and Mobike from the text?

A．Their bikes are aimed at people who can't afford a car.

B．They are pioneers in the field of bike sharing in China.

C．There are 7.25 million people using their bikes this year.

D．No other bike­sharing system in the world can match theirs.

解析：选B　细节理解题。由第二段的“The introduction of bike­sharing schemes, first developed by new companies like Ofo and Mobike”可知，Ofo和Mobike是最早把单车共享方案引入中国的公司，也就是说，它们是中国单车共享领域内的开辟者。

12．Why are shared bikes convenient according to Hu Hong?

A．They can be shared by a lot of different people.

B．They allow people to use various forms of transport.

C．They are a useful addition to other means of transport.

D．They are accessible as long as people have smartphones.

解析：选C　推理判断题。由第三段Hu Hong的话可知，在地铁到不了的地方和难以更换交通方式的地方，共享单车可以轻易地带你去任何你想去的地方；由此可以推知，她认为共享单车方便是因为它们是对其他交通方式有用的补充。

13．What do we know about the existing problems with bike sharing?

A．They are actually universal phenomena.

B．They are brought by bike­sharing users.

C．They are mainly caused by the operators.

D．They are the results of illegal companies.

解析：选A　细节理解题。由最后两段尤其是最后一段的“these problems are also shared by bike­sharing schemes abroad”可知，单车共享存在的问题是一种国内外都普遍的现象。

14．What could be the best title for the text?

A．What problems does bike sharing face in China?

B．Bike sharing: a new battle begins in China

C．Why is bike sharing popular in China?

D．Bike sharing is booming in China

解析：选D　标题归纳题。阅读全文可知，本文主要介绍了共享单车在中国兴起的情况，并说明了它的好处与随之而来的问题。

第三节  语法填空

阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写 1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

Rules help us live together in a community. At my local park, there is a sign that reads, “Keep off the grass.” Because our community has a need for a nice green space ___15___ (relax), we are expected to keep our park clean and in good condition for everyone’s enjoyment. If one person breaks the rules, more people ___16___ (follow) him and do what they want. In a community, rules are in place to protect everyone. What we do and ___17___ we act affect everyone, not just ourselves. We need rules in order to live ___18___ (safe).

【答案】15. to relax    16. will follow    17. how    18. safely   

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇议论文。论述了按照规则生活的重要性。

【详解】15.考查to do不定式作目的状语。句意：因为我们的社区需要一个好的绿色空间来放松……需要绿色空间的目的是为了放松，表目的用to do不定式。故填to relax。

16.考查时态。句意：如果一个人打破了规则，更多的人会效仿他，做他们想做的事。在条件状语从句中，主将从现。根据if条件句中使用一般现在时可知，主句中使用一般将来时，故填will follow。

17.考查名词性从句。句意：我们做的事情和我们做事的方式会影响每个人而不是只有我们自己。动词affect前缺少主语，所以空格处引导主语从句。从句中不缺少主语、宾语或表语，根据句意，表示“如何”用how。故填how。

18.考查副词。句意：我们需要规则来安全地生活。修饰动词应用副词，故填safely。
