The Most Bicycle Friendly Countries Around the World

Denmark 

Cycling is a hugely popular means of transport and a way to see the country in Denmark. In fact, across the country you'll find huge networks of cycle paths where no motorized vehicles can go, so you can feel safe while riding your bike. Because of this cycling has become one of the main tourist attractions and activities in Denmark ,particularly when it comes to exploring the beautiful capital city of Copenhagen.

Norway

Sweden 

While it can get very cold there in the winter, cycling is still enjoyed year-round and the country develops a cycling culture that encourages people to use bikes as their primary means of transport. For this reason, there are supportive measures in place and plenty of places to rent a bike from. Many travel Sweden’s beautiful cities on two wheels, Stockholm, in particular, is a great place to explore on a bike.

Sasha Olsen went on a trip last summer with her family to Vietnam and Japan. She was frightened at the ocean's pollution levels and dying sea animals.

“We went on this trip and I was so excited," said Sasha. She is 10 years old and lives in Bal Harbour, Florida, “But when I saw the way the oceans had become, I got anxious. I wanted to know why things were this way but couldn't find an answer."

When she returned home to Bal Harbour, she grew even more disturbed. She learned how some of the beaches in South Florida had been closed by The Health Department because the water had too much bacteria（细菌）in it.

Sasha sought the help of her cousin, Narmina Aliyev. Aliyev is 23 years old and a recent graduate of Nova Southeastern University with a bachelor's degree in business. Together, they started a nonprofit Iwantmyoceanback in October.

Originally, the group started small, with friends coming together on the weekends to clean the beaches in Bal Harbour. Recently, however, Iwantmyoceanback has hosted events to raise funds for beach cleanups and to donate to conservation（保护）groups such as the Sea Turtle Conservancy, Oceana and World Wildlife Fund, Aliyev said.

In January, Sasha organized “Kids Heal the Oceans" at Bal Harbour beach. There, she spoke about the oceans' problems and guests made art out of microplastics gathered from the beach cleanup, “At first, our guests were a little shy, but now they've felt inspired to speak up! Sasha has inspired many other kids to join Iwantmyoceanback and show people that we’re able to make a change if we come together," Aliyev said.

On February 16, the group threw a Plastic-Free Party. The party involved a beach

cleanup and guests creating art from the plastic trash they collect, “It's important to bring awareness not just through doing cleanups and meetings, but to show people they can come together through their hobbies and working together to a common goal," said Sasha.

24. What does the underlined word “disturbed" in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Disappointed. B. Excited. C. Nervous. D. Anxious.

25. Why were some of the beaches in South Florida closed?

A. The water was not safe. B. There was sea research recently.

C. There were many dying sea animals. D. There were many plastics on the beach.

26. What does Narmina Aliyev major in?

A. Art. B. Environmental protection.

C. Business. D. Fishing.

27. Who joined Sasha in cleaning up the beach at first?

A. Sasha's friends.

B. Kids loving oceans.

C. Members of some conservation groups.

D. Graduates from Nova Southeastern University.

Australia is the only major honey-producing country that has so far managed to contain （抑制）the spread of a mite（螨）which is harmful to bees. The first step is pouring gas into the beehive（蜂巢）. Then it's time to wait. The job is finished when the hive is burned the next day.

Since last week, this cycle has been on repeat near a port in eastern Australia, part of a government effort to protect the country's multimillion dollar honey industry. Millions of bees have been destroyed to help contain the spread of the deadly mite, which reappeared in the country last week near the Port of Newcastle. If the mite became established in Australia, it could cost the nation's honey industry more than $ 70 million a year, in addition to its effect on the crops that rely on bee pollination（授粉）.

The mites, which are reddish-brown and about the size of a sesame seed, can spread from bee to bee and through beekeeping equipment. If left untreated, the mites could kill an entire colony of honey bees, the government has said.

It's not easy to contain the mite. One of the biggest challenges in the current containment effort is figuring out the location of infected （受感染的）hives and mapping their spread in a vast region, according to Danny Le Feuvre, the acting head of the Australian Honey Bee Industrial Council. It's necessary to contain the Port of Newcastle and the hives within a 31­mile radius（半径） of it. The port is a major shipping destination and one of the world's busiest export centres for coal.

So far at least 600 hives have been destroyed in the area, “The beekeepers are very nervous at the moment," Mr. Feuvre said. He said he was confident the country would be able to contain the spread, given its history of previous eradication （根除） efforts of honey bee mites and strict controls at all airports stopping passengers from bringing live plants, soil, fruits and vegetables into Australia.

28. Why do people pour gas into beehives?

A. To stop the spread of a deadly mite.

B. To prevent bees from producing too much.

C. To ensure the safety of the Port of Newcastle.

D. To protect visitors from being harmed by bees.

29. What's the biggest difficulty in the present containment effort?

A. Removing tourists' fears.

B. The cooperation of the beekeepers.

C. Finding the location of infected hives.

D. Ensuring the normal operation of the port.30. What's Mr. Feuvre’s attitude to Australia's containment action?

A. Doubtful. B. Dissatisfied. C. Unclear. D. Positive.

31. What's the best title for the text?

A. The Spread and Harm of Mites

B. Australia's Agriculture Is in Danger

C. The Relationship Between Bees and Agriculture

D. Australia Is Killing Bees to Save Its Honey Industry

D

Road-traffic noise significantly slows the development of memory and attention skills in primary school children, research has found.

The study of almost 2,700 children aged between 7 and 10 in 38 schools in Barcelona, Spain, is the first to assess （评价）the influence of traffic noise on child cognitive （认知） development over time and to determine the influence of peaks（峰值）in noise.

The children in the study are in a critical stage for the development of memory and attention skills, which are important to learning. The research found that children exposed（暴 露）to about three times more traffic in the street than other pupils had memory development that was 23% slower and attention ability development 5% slower over a year.

Noise is the second most damaging environmental factor to health, after air pollution. It was already known that noise would increase heart attacks and diabetes in adults. The UN said in February that urban noise pollution was growing into a “global public health problem", leading to 12,000 early deaths a year in the EU alone, and affecting many cities from Bangkok to New York.

But research on the impact of road noise on children was limited until now. The scientists said many schools suffered noise pollution and that measures such as rerouting（改道）traffic away from schools could help reduce noise and air pollution.

The research showed that peaks of noise heard inside the classroom, such as the passing of loud trucks or vehicles going faster away from traffic lights, had more impact than a higher average（平均的）level of noise. This may be because the peaks divert（转移）attention more, said Foraster.

Prof Iroise Dumontheil, at Birkbeck, University of London, UK, said, “This carefully designed study provides convincing evidence. Considering that many European children living in large cities are exposed to high road-traffic noise levels, this study has suggestions for public policy to reduce road-traffic noise near schools."

32. What is special about the study?

A. The method of the study is advanced and scientific.

B. The subject of the study is from different countries.

C. The result of the study is unexpected and surprising.

D. The content of the study is about the effect of traffic noise on children.

33. What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?

A. The different forms of pollution.

B. The present situation of European cities.

C. The most damaging environmental factor.

D. The influence of noise on people's health.

34. What will probably be discussed in the next paragraph?

A. Related studies to find more convincing evidence.

B. Possible policies to reduce road-traffic noise near schools.

C. How to improve school conditions to protect children's health.

D. Health conditions of many European children living in the countryside.

35. Where can you read the text probably?

A. In a dairy. B. In a textbook.

C. In a guide book. D. In a science magazine.

Sometimes I just felt like there were two of me. On the night of our school science fair, Mum and Dad both came because I was getting an award（奖励）. They didn't sit together but they each told me how proud they were of me. It was the first time in a long time that I'd seen them in the same room.

When I went back to Mum's the next day, I was feeling sad and wasn't paying attention as I rode my bike down the street. My bike hit a rock, and I fell down hard into the street, twisting （扭伤）my leg.

Mum rushed me to the emergency room, calling Dad on the way. Someone put me on a bed and took an X-ray of my leg. My leg really hurt, but I almost forgot about it when I saw Mum and Dad both standing next to me. When the doctor said my leg wasn't broken and I could go home, I went back to being the same old rubber band （橡皮筋）.

At least at school nothing had changed, and I could be just me. My best friend, Trish, was in my class and we told each other everything, our deepest, darkest secrets. But one day Trish decided to pick Lisa instead of me to be on her softball team. I was so mad! So I hid her lunchbox. No one could find it. Later that day the teacher asked the kids again if anyone knew what had happened to the lunchbox. When she got to me, I couldn't lie. I was sent to the principal's （校长）office, and the principal called my parents. We had a meeting. Mum gave me her disappointed look that said, “How could you embarrass（ 使难堪）me like this?"

Tears filled my eyes, “I know. I feel awful. " Then the words kept coming out of my mouth like rocks rolling down a hill. “I hate that you get divorced （离婚）！ You don't even talk to each other unless I'm having a problem. My whole life has changed. I have two different homes, and two different sets of rules. And I'm always afraid that if you get mad at me, you'll divorce me, too. " I froze. Did I just say all those things out loud?

1.续写词数应为150左右；

Mum and Dad stared at each other, speechless for a moment.
