Bike-share systems hld the ptential t reduce traffic and pllutin in big cities. While they have received cnsiderable attentin, their prmise f urban transfrmatin is far frm being-fully realized.
New research in the jurnal Management Science fund a key reasn is that while cmpanies have fcused n bike design and technlgy aspects, there has been minimal research dne n peratinal aspects such as statin density (密度) and bike-availability levels.
“Almst 80%f bike-share usage cmes frm areas within 1,000 feet f the bike-share statins, r rughly fur city blcks,” said Elena Belavina, ne f the study authrs. “Anything past 1,000 feet, ptential users are almst 60% less likely t use a statin.”
The study, “Bike-Share Systems: Accessibility and Availability”, analyzes the relatinship between ridership and peratinal perfrmance in bike-share design systems t achieve higher ridership.
Using data frm the Velib’ system in Paris, with rughly 17,000 bikes and 950 statins, the study estimates the impacts f tw aspects f the system perfrmance n bike-share ridership: accessibility, r hw far the user must walk t reach statins, and bike availability.
There are tw impacts f availability: First, a shrt-term impact is that if nearby statins d nt have bicycles when a user wants t take a trip, users must g t statins farther away r abandn using bike-share. Secnd, if users typically expect a lwer chance f finding a bicycle, they are less likely t even cnsider bike share fr their trips and the system will have lwer ridership in the lng term.
“Mst users chse t abandn using bike-share.” said Belavina. “But verall, we find that a 10%increase in bike availability wuld increase ridership by mre than 12%.”
Between increasing bike-availability and decreasing walking distance, the study finds that the latter has a higher impact. Bike-share peratrs with limited resurces must priritize building mre statins clse t riders.
Where shuld thse statins g? The authrs recmmend lcatins where there are many pints f interest and lcatins with lwer bike availability.
4. What can be dne t make bike-share systems play a bigger rle in urban transfrmatins?
A. Reducing traffic and pllutin.
B. Making statins mre advanced.
C. Putting mre thught int peratins.
D. Making imprvements in bike design.
5. What des the underlined wrd “availability” in paragraph 6 refer t?
A. The number f nearby statins.
B. The necessity f ging fr bike sharing.
C. The likelihd f finding a bike at a statin.
D. The walking distance between the statins
6. Accrding t the study what is the mst imprtant thing t d t achieve higher ridership?
A. Shrtening the bike trips.B. Reducing the walking distance.
C. Increasing the number f bikes.D. Attracting riders t pints f interest.
7. What des the text fcus n?
A. Hw t use the bike-share systems.B. Hw t make full use f bike-share.
C. Hw t raise the awareness f bike-share.D. Hw t estimate the impacts f bike-share.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“New research in the jurnal Management Science fund a key reasn is that while cmpanies have fcused n bike design and technlgy aspects, there has been minimal research dne n peratinal aspects such as statin density (密度) and bike-availability levels.(《管理科学》杂志的一项新研究发现，一个关键原因是，尽管公司一直关注自行车设计和技术的方面，但对运营方面的研究却微乎其微，比如车站密度和自行车的可用性水平。)”可知，要让共享单车系统在城市转型中发挥更大的作用，需要在运营方面投入更多的思考。故选C项。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第六段“There are tw impacts f...: First, a shrt-term impact is that if nearby statins d nt have bicycles when a user wants t take a trip, users must g t statins farther away r abandn using bike-share. Secnd, if users typically expect a lwer chance f finding a bicycle, they are less likely t even cnsider bike share fr their trips and the system will have lwer ridership in the lng term.(……有两个影响：首先，短期影响是，如果用户想要出行时附近的站点没有自行车，用户必须去更远的站点或者放弃使用共享单车。其次，如果用户通常预期找到自行车的几率较低，他们甚至不太可能考虑使用共享单车出行，长期来看，系统的使用率将会降低。)”可知，“availability”指的是在车站找到自行车的可能性。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第八段“Between increasing bike-availability and decreasing walking distance, the study finds that the latter has a higher impact. Bike-share peratrs with limited resurces must priritize building mre statins clse t riders.(在增加自行车的可用性和减少步行距离之间，研究发现后者有更大的影响。资源有限的共享单车运营商必须优先在靠近骑行者的地方建设更多的站点。)”可知，要实现更高的使用率，最重要的是减少步行距离。故选B项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Bike-share systems hld the ptential t reduce traffic and pllutin in big cities. While they have received cnsiderable attentin, their prmise f urban transfrmatin is far frm being-fully realized.(共享单车系统有潜力减少大城市的交通和污染。虽然它们受到了相当大的关注，但它们对城市转型的承诺远未完全实现。)”、第六段“There are tw impacts f availability: First, a shrt-term impact is that if nearby statins d nt have bicycles when a user wants t take a trip, users must g t statins farther away r abandn using bike-share. Secnd, if users typically expect a lwer chance f finding a bicycle, they are less likely t even cnsider bike share fr their trips and the system will have lwer ridership in the lng term.(可用性有两个影响：首先，短期影响是，如果用户想要出行时附近的站点没有自行车，用户必须去更远的站点或者放弃使用共享单车。其次，如果用户通常预期找到自行车的几率较低，他们甚至不太可能考虑使用共享单车出行，长期来看，系统的使用率将会降低。)”以及最后一段“Where shuld thse statins g? The authrs recmmend lcatins where there are many pints f interest and lcatins with lwer bike availability.( 这些站点应该设在哪里？作者们建议设在有许多景点和自行车供应较少的地方)”可知，这篇文章主要关注的是如何充分利用共享单车。故选B项。
C
In sme parts f the wrld peple are likely t plan fr the future, while in thers peple are mre likely t live in the mment. In sme scieties peple prefer mre persnal space; in thers they are cmfrtable being in clse quarters in public.
There are a number f theries abut where cultural differences between scieties cme frm. In a grwing number f cases, researchers have fund that human culture an be shaped by key features f the envirnments in which peple live.
Eclgy includes basic physical and scial characteristics f the envirnment—such factrs as hw rich a place is in resurces, hw cmmn infectius (传染性的) diseases are, hw heavily ppulated a place is, and hw much threat there is t human safety. Variables like temperature and the availability f water can be key eclgical features.
Fr ver 200 scieties, ur lab at Arizna State University gathered cmprehensive data n nine key features f eclgy— such as rainfall, temperature, infectius disease and natural resurces —and dzens f aspects f human cultural variatin— including values, strength f scial nrms (社会规范), persnality, mtivatin and institutinal characteristics. With this infrmatin, we created the EcCultural Dataset.
Using this dataset, we were able t generate a range f estimates fr just hw much f human cultural variatin can explained by eclgy.
We ran a series f statistical mdels lking at the relatinship between ur eclgical variables and each f the 66 cultural utcmes we tracked. Fr each f the cultural utcmes, we calculated the average amunt f the cultural diversity acrss scieties that was explained by this cmbinatin f nine different eclgical factrs. We fund that nearly 20% f cultural variatin was explained by the cmbinatin f these eclgical features.
Imprtantly, ur statistical estimates take int accunt cmmn issues in crss-cultural research. There will likely be unmeasured similarities between scieties with shared histrical rts and traditins.
Eclgy isn’t the nly reasn peple arund the wrld think and behave differently. But ur wrk suggests that, at least in part, ur envirnments shape ur cultures.
8. Which best explains why peple are cmfrtable being in clse quarters in public?
A. They are friendly t each ther.B. They like staying in public places.
C. They enjy spending time with thers.D. They live in a place with cld temperatures.
9. What d we knw abut the EcCultural Dataset?
A. It’s a cmbinatin f humans and nature.
B. It’s a cmbinatin f eclgy and culture
C. It’s a cmparisn between thery and practice.
D. It’s a cmparisn between eclgy and culture.
10. What did the authr s lab want t find ut?
A. Where cultural differences cme frm.
B. Whether eclgical features affect culture.
C. Hw strng the eclgy-culture cnnectin is.
D. Why cultural differences between scieties exist.
11. What is the cnclusin f the authr’s study?
A. Shared traditins lead t cultural similarities.
B. There are cultural differences between scieties.
C. Cultures are shaped by the envirnments peple live in.
D. Cultural differences partly cme frm eclgical factrs.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了生态文化数据集表明了环境塑造了我们的文化。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Variables like temperature and the availability f water can be key eclgical features.(温度和水的可用性等变量可能是关键的生态特征)”以及最后一段“But ur wrk suggests that, at least in part, ur envirnments shape ur cultures.(但我们的研究表明，至少在某种程度上，我们的环境塑造了我们的文化)”可知，生活在一个温度很低的地方最能解释为什么人们在公共场合会觉得近距离接触很舒服。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Fr ver 200 scieties, ur lab at Arizna State University gathered cmprehensive data n nine key features f eclgy— such as rainfall, temperature, infectius disease and natural resurces —and dzens f aspects f human cultural variatin— including values, strength f scial nrms (社会规范), persnality, mtivatin and institutinal characteristics. With this infrmatin, we created the EcCultural Dataset.(我们在亚利桑那州立大学的实验室收集了200多个社会的综合数据，涉及生态的九个关键特征——如降雨、温度、传染病和自然资源——以及人类文化差异的几十个方面——包括价值观、社会规范的强度、个性、动机和制度特征。有了这些信息，我们创建了生态文化数据集)”可知，生态文化数据集是生态和文化的结合。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Using this dataset, we were able t generate a range f estimates fr just hw much f human cultural variatin can explained by eclgy.(利用这个数据集，我们能够对人类文化差异有多少可以用生态学来解释产生一系列的估计)”可知，作者的实验室想知道生态与文化的联系有多强。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Eclgy isn’t the nly reasn peple arund the wrld think and behave differently. But ur wrk suggests that, at least in part, ur envirnments shape ur cultures.(生态并不是世界各地人们思维和行为不同的唯一原因。但我们的研究表明，至少在某种程度上，我们的环境塑造了我们的文化)”可知，作者的研究结论是文化差异部分来自生态因素。故选D。
D
Hw ften is yur mind quiet? If yu’re a typical human being, the answer is prbably very rarely. Fr mst f ur days, ur attentin is fcused n external things—the tasks f ur jbs, TV prgrams, r scial media interactins. In the mments when ur attentin isn’t fcused externally, it’s usually fcused n what is called “thught-chatter”—a stream f mental assciatins cnsisting f expectatins f the future, memries, daydreams, and s n.
But frm time t time, we all experience mments when ur thught-chatter quiets dwn, r even disappears altgether. In these mments, we experience a sense f great well-being. We feel a sense f inner harmny. We feel as if we’re free f prblems, and feel satisfied with ur lives as they are.
There are many activities that have the effect f quieting ur minds, and s prduce a state f well-being.
Fr example, think abut what happens when yu-g walking in the cuntryside. Yu might feel stressed when yu start ut, but slwly, after-a cuple f miles, yur mind begins t settle dwn. The beauty and stillness f nature attracts yur attentin and yu’re n lnger in yur thught-chatter. By the end f the walk yu feel almst like a different persn. Yu feel mre alive, and much happier—largely because yur mind is nw quiet.
This is why peple lve t lk at beautiful wrks f art. When peple see the paintings f Mnet r van Ggh, they experience a mind-stpping mment, in which they’re taken ut f their thinking minds and experience a sense f great well-being.
The strange thing is, thugh, that mst f the time this happens uncnsciusly (不知不觉地). We usually dn’t assciate this well-being with a quiet mind. And we usually dn’t think f a quiet mind as the aim r result f these activities.
Our estimate f hw enjyable an activity is may depend n its mind-stpping capacity. In ther wrds, the very best perfrmances—and the mst rewarding activities—are thse which are s attractive and intense that they can cmpletely stp ur minds.
I’m nt saying that inner quietness is the nly reasn why we enjy these activities. Nevertheless, we shuld certainly becme mre aware f the assciatin f a quiet mind with well-being. And at the same time we shuld be aware that it’s pssible fr us t cnsciusly and directly create a quiet mind; rather than as a byprduct f certain activities. And in the end we might develp a permanent quiet mind and attain a state f nging cntentment and harmny.
12. What can be inferred abut thught-chatter?
A. It requires a lt f practice.
B. It might be unpleasant at times.
C. It might be a talk with a friend.
D. It helps reach a state f silence.
13. What are the examples f activities mentined in the text mainly abut?
A. What activities lead t well-being.
B. What can be dne t reduce stress.
C. Hw we can make ur minds quiet.
D. Hw mental quietness leads t well-being.
14. Hw can we determine hw much pleasure an activity can give us?
A. By judging hw much stress it can increase.
B. By judging whether it takes place uncnsciusly.
C. By judging t what extent it can quiet ur minds
D. By judging whether it assciates with well-being.
15. What des the authr intend t highlight in the last paragraph?
A. Creating a quiet mind fr all time.
B. Living a peaceful life permanently.
C. Being in harmny with inner quietness.
D. Participating in activities fr inner quietness.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了内心宁静与心理健康的关系，指出通过欣赏艺术和在自然中行走等活动，可以使思维静止，带来幸福感和内心和谐，并提出有意识地创造宁静心境可以带来持久的满足感。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“But frm time t time, we all experience mments when ur thught-chatter quiets dwn, r even disappears altgether. In these mments, we experience a sense f great well-being. We feel a sense f inner harmny. We feel as if we’re free f prblems, and feel satisfied with ur lives as they are. (但时不时地，我们都会经历这样的时刻：我们的“思想闲聊”安静下来，甚至完全消失。在这些时刻，我们体验到一种巨大的幸福感。我们感受到内心的和谐。我们觉得好像没有问题了，对我们的生活感到满意。)”可知，“思想闲聊”停下来时人们会感到快乐，因此它的发生有时可能会令人不愉快。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Fr example, think abut what happens when yu-g walking in the cuntryside. Yu might feel stressed when yu start ut, but slwly, after-a cuple f miles, yur mind begins t settle dwn. The beauty and stillness f nature attracts yur attentin and yu’re n lnger in yur thught-chatter. By the end f the walk yu feel almst like a different persn. Yu feel mre alive, and much happier—largely because yur mind is nw quiet. (例如，想想当你在农村散步时会发生什么。刚开始的时候你可能会感到压力，但慢慢地，几英里后，你的头脑开始安定下来。大自然的美丽和宁静吸引了你的注意力，你不再“思想闲聊”。散步结束时，你几乎感觉自己变成了另一个人。你感觉更有活力，也更快乐——主要是因为你的头脑现在很安静。) ”可知，文中提到了在乡村散步和观看艺术作品等活动可以让心灵平静下来，并带来幸福感。因此，提到这些例子主要是为了说明心灵的平静是怎样带来幸福感的。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Our estimate f hw enjyable an activity is may depend n its mind-stpping capacity. In ther wrds, the very best perfrmances—and the mst rewarding activities—are thse which are s attractive and intense that they can cmpletely stp ur minds. (我们对一项活动有多愉快的估计可能取决于它让人停止思考的能力。换句话说，最好的表现和最有回报的活动是那些非常有吸引力和激烈的，它们可以完全停止我们的思想。)”可知，那些可以完全让我们停止思考的活动被认为是非常愉快和有益的，因此，我们对一项活动的享受取决于它在多大程度上能让我们的头脑平静下来。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I’m nt saying that inner quietness is the nly reasn why we enjy these activities. Nevertheless, we shuld certainly becme mre aware f the assciatin f a quiet mind with well-being. And at the same time we shuld be aware that it’s pssible fr us t cnsciusly and directly create a quiet mind; rather than as a byprduct f certain activities. And in the end we might develp a permanent quiet mind and attain a state f nging cntentment and harmny. (我并不是说内心的平静是我们喜欢这些活动的唯一原因。然而，我们当然应该更加意识到安静的头脑与幸福的联系。同时，我们应该意识到，我们有可能有意识地直接创造一个平静的头脑；而不是作为某些活动的副产品。最终，我们可能会发展出一种永久的平静心态，达到一种持续的满足与和谐的状态。)”可知，作者强调要更多地意识到安静的心灵和幸福之间的联系，要有意识地直接创造一个安静的头脑，潜在地带来持续的满足和和谐，而不仅仅是参与活动。故选A。
