Taking the “bike bus” to school
乘坐“自行车巴士”上学
体裁 说明文 难度★★★ 词数249
In September 2021, a group of five children in the Eixample area of Barcelona(巴塞罗那)began biking to school with their parents. Soon the group grew to 150 or more on the way.
This trip, called “bicibus” or “bike bus”, begins around 8:25 every morning. People living in the community can get the notice(通知)about where to join the “bike bus” before it starts. The “bike bus” takes over the whole street. With music playing and bike bells ringing, the “bike bus” feels like a party. Being able to ride with a group of kids is a big part of the fun. Nine-year-old Maria Pitarch says, “The best part of the 'bike bus' is that we ride along and pick up my friends and we ride together.”
Children in the district(区域)go to three different schools in Eixample. They could ride bikes to school before, but it wasn't safe. There are no bike lanes, only lots of cars in the streets. One of the main roads used by the “bike bus” has about 20,000 cars and motorcycles every day. Because these are busy streets, the local police are also helping by riding in front of the “bike bus” and behind it. Parents are hoping that the “bike bus” can change ideas about how people can get around in the city. They want the city to build wider, kid-friendly bike lanes that are separate(分开)from car traffic. They also say that the “bike bus” helps with the air pollution(污染)too.
1. How many children began biking to school with their parents in the Eixample area at first
A. 150. B.5. C.2,021. D.20,000.
2. Where do children join the “bike bus” when they go to school
A. At their homes.
B. At their school.
C. At the place people tell them before it starts.
D. At any place children like to bike.
3. What does the underlined word “lanes" in Paragraph3 mean in Chinese
A.修理处 B.停放点 C.专用道 D.路线图
4.What can we know from Paragraph 2
A. Children don't like the “bike bus".
B. Children are happy on their way to school.
C. All the children go to the same school.
D. Children like singing on their way to school.
5.Why was riding bikes to school dangerous before
A. Because few children rode to school.
B. Because children didn't ride to school with their parents.
C. Because there are many cars on the road.
D. Because children couldn't ride bikes well.
重点句型及难句分析:
They want the city to build wider, kid-friendly bike lanes that are separate from car traffic.句意:他们希望城市修建更宽的、适合孩子的自行车道，与汽车交通分隔开来。
that are separate from car traffic 是定语从句，修饰先行词bike lanes.
答案解析:
1.B 根据第一段中的“In September 2021,a group of five children in the Eixample area of Barcelona began biking to school with their parents.”可知，最初，五名巴塞罗那扩建区的孩子开始和父母一起骑自行车上学。故选B.
2.C 根据第二段中的“People living in the community can get the notice about where to join the ‘bike bus' before it starts.”可推知，在“自行车巴士”出发前，有人告知孩子们加入“自行车巴士”的地点，孩子们就在这里加入“自行车巴士”上学。故选C.
3.C 根据第三段中的“They could ride bikes to school before, but it wasn't safe.”可知，他们之前可以骑自行车上学，但不安全;画线词下文提到，街道上只有许多汽车，而且在“自行车巴士”使用的主干道之中，有一条每天大约有2万辆汽车和摩托车经过，由此推知街道上没有自行车专用道。所以此处lanes意为“专用道”。故选C.
4.B 根据第二段中的“Being able to ride with a group of kids is a big part of the fun.”以及 Maria Pitarch说的话可知，孩子们在上学的路上很开心。故选B.
5.C 根据第三段中的“，only lots of cars in thestreets.”可知，街道上只有许多汽车，可以推断这是之前骑自行车去上学不安全的原因。故选C

Last month, CCTV released the athletes' menu for the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. There're as many as 678 different dishes on the menu. These dishes will be provided in turn. There will be about 200 different dishes for athletes to choose from each day.
The athletes of the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games come from different cultural backgrounds. The menu includes dishes from around the world to meet their different needs and eating habits. Some local Chinese specialties can also be found on the menu, such as West Lake beef soup and Beijing roast duck. Athletes will be able to feel and experience the full charm of Chinese food culture.
The Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games will overlap with the Chinese Spring Festival. So, some of the special dishes for this festival have also been added to the menu.

Let's look forward to a green and “delicious” Winter Olympics!

What do Olympic athletes eat
奥运会运动员吃什么
Last month, CCTV released the athletes' menu for the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. There're as many as 678 different dishes on the menu. These dishes will be provided in turn. There will be about 200 different dishes for athletes to choose from each day.
The athletes of the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games come from different cultural backgrounds. The menu includes dishes from around the world to meet their different needs and eating habits. Some local Chinese specialties can also be found on the menu, such as West Lake beef soup and Beijing roast duck. Athletes will be able to feel and experience the full charm of Chinese food culture.
The Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games will overlap with the Chinese Spring Festival. So, some of the special dishes for this festival have also been added to the menu. Foreign athletes will be able to “taste” the Chinese Lunar New Year. Besides, to protect the environment, the restaurant will use biodegradable tableware. Let's look forward to a green and “delicious” Winter Olympics!
