A
Bike-friendly cities around the world
Cycling is kind to the environment so it is an excellent way to take in the city. Here are 4 bike-friendly cities having adopted this green mode of transport to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Montréal, Canada
Montreal has already established protected bike paths since the 1980s. BIXI is the city’s bike-sharing system with 9,600 bikes and almost 800 stations. Cyclists can make their visit to the Tour de L'lle Montreal, a yearly bike ride where cyclists take to the streets for a day without any other vehicles being allowed on the roads.
Malm , Sweden
Cycling in Malm is enjoyable due to the relaxed and easy-going manner of most cyclists. The calming atmosphere makes it a great experience, even for nervous riders. A highly recommended bike route is from Ribersborg park to Limhamn Harbour, where riders can take breathtaking photos of the famous Oresund Bridge.
Beijing, China
In the 1970s, bicycles were the main mode of transportation for people in Beijing. However, dedicated(专用的)cycle paths for cyclists were limited. Only in May 2019, did the city launch its first specific cycle path. This achievement in cycling facility is worth a shout-out for a city with over 21 million people.
Bogota, Colombia
Bogota first introduced the concept of cycle path in 1974. The idea sees cars being banned from city roads every Sunday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., helping cyclists, runners and walkers exercise safely. Since then, the city has slowly but steadily promoted the program, including setting up dedicated cycle paths. As a result, Bogota now has 550km of bike paths and is the most bike-friendly city in Latin America.
21. What make(s) Montreal different from other cities
A. A well-developed bike-sharing system.
B. An annual bicycle event.
C. The oldest protected bike paths.
D. The most calming effect on cyclists.
22. Which city will attract cyclists interested in photography
A. Beijing. B. Montréal. C. Bogota. D. Malm .
23. What do Beijing and Bogota have in common
A. The total length of specific cycle paths.
B. The improvement in cycling facility.
C. The change in basic means of transportation.
D. The time of introducing the first cycle path.
B
I was 16 when one morning my father told me I could drive him into a village, about 18 miles away, on condition that I took the car into a nearby garage to be serviced. Having just learnt to drive and hardly ever having the chance to use the car, I happily accepted. I drove Dad into the village and promised to pick him up at 4 p.m., and then drove to a nearby garage. Because I had a few free hours, I decided to catch a couple of movies at a theatre near the garage. When the last movie had finished, it was six o’clock. I was two hours late!
I knew Dad would be angry if he found out I’d been watching movies. I decided to tell him that the car needed some repairs and that they had taken longer than expected. I drove up to the place where we had appointed to meet and saw Dad waiting patiently. I said sorry and told him that I’d come as quickly as I could, but the car had needed some repairs.
“I’m disappointed that you feel you have to lie to me, Jason.”
“What do you mean I’m telling the truth.”
Dad looked at me. “When you did not show up, I called the garage. They told me that you had not yet picked up the car. So you see, I know there were no problems with the car.”
I had to confess(承认)to my trip to the movie theatre. Dad listened as a sadness passed through him.
“I’m angry, not with you but with myself. I have failed because I have brought up a son who cannot even tell the truth to his own father. I’m going to walk home now and consider where I have gone wrong all these years.”
“But Dad, it’s 18 miles to our home. It’s dark. You can’t walk home.” My words were useless. Dad began walking along the roads, silently, thoughtfully and painfully. For 18 miles I drove behind him.
This was the most painful experience that I had ever had. It was also the most successful lesson. I have never lied to my father since.
24. Why was the author delighted to drive his father into the village
A. He longed to drive the car.
B. He intended to repair the car.
C. He looked forward to touring the village.
D. He had an opportunity to watch movies.
25. How did the author’s father know he lied
A. He followed the author. B. He had repaired the car.
C. He rang up the garage. D. He went to the garage.
26. How did the author’s father feel when his son lied to him
A. Doubtful and tired. B. Sorry and impatient.
C. Cold but disappointed. D. Sad and annoyed.
27. What would be the best title for the text
A. A Bad Movie. B. A White Lie.
C. A Long Walk Home. D. A Drive to the Garage.
C
Perhaps you know northern Americans still maintain the habit of celebrating Groundhog Day when a large groundhog(土拨鼠)checks to see its shadow on February 2 and helps to predict when winter will end. But have you ever heard about how a mountain town in North Carolina uses a caterpillar(毛毛虫)known as the Woolly Worm to make similar predictions
According to the folklore(民间传说), the amount of black on the woolly worm in autumn predicts the severity of the upcoming winter. The longer the woolly worm’s black bands(带)are, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. Similarly, a wider middle brown band is a sign of a milder upcoming winter. The position of the longest dark bands supposedly indicates which part of winter will be coldest or hardest. If the head end of the caterpillar is dark, the beginning of winter will be severe. If the tail end is dark, the end of winter will be cold. In addition, the caterpillar has 13 segments(昆虫的节/段)to its body, which traditional forecasters say correspond to the 13 weeks of winter.
Scientific studies on worm forecasting are rare. American Museum of Natural History entomologist Howard Curran conducted a small trial in 1948. Having heard about the caterpillar folklore, Curran headed to Bear Mountain State Park to collect caterpillars each fall for eight years. He found that if the worms had brown markings on more than a third of their body, winters tended to be milder.
Most scientists view the folklore of caterpillar predictions as just that, folklore. “It’s a wonderful story, but I do think it was a playful trial,” says Joe Boggs, an entomologist at Ohio State University Extension who has studied woolly worms. “Curran was a real scientist. He had tons of papers published, but he never published this one—probably because he knew it wouldn’t stand up to peer review.”
Mike Peters, an entomologist at the University of Massachusetts, doesn’t disagree, but he says there could be a link between the band of a caterpillar and the severity of winter. Peters suggests that the timing of their growth and environmental conditions, such as temperature, moisture levels, and food sources, can impact the appearance of woolly worms, including their size, coloration, and band patterns. By analyzing these characteristics, researchers can potentially infer information about the weather conditions. “The band does say something about a heavy winter,” he says. “The only thing is that it’s telling you about the previous year.”
28. How do people predict the weather through caterpillars
A. By analyzing their living habits.
B. By measuring the change of their size.
C. By calculating the number of their segments.
D. By studying color bands on their bodies.
29. What is Howard Curran’s finding based on
A. His personal observations.
B. An investigation on the locals.
C. Studies by previous scientists.
D. Statistics collected by the museum.
30. What is Joe Boggs’s attitude towards the folklore
A. Positive. B. Indifferent C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
31. Which statement might Mike Peters agree with
A. The caterpillar forecasting needs long-term data to support it.
B. The color band of caterpillars can be a mirror of past weather.
C. The cold environment has a great impact on caterpillars’ growth.
D. The caterpillar can help predict the severity of winter accurately.
D
During the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, there was a lot of talk about the environmental efforts taken. Athletes slept on beds made from recycled cardboard. The medals were produced out of old appliances such as smartphones and laptops. Over 90% of Japanese cities, towns and villages participated in the two-year effort to collect recycled materials to produce 5000 medals. Eighty tons of small electrical devices were collected to make this project successful.
With the 2024 Olympics Games underway in Paris, new environmental efforts are coming into play. Observers will sit on chairs made of plastic recycled from local bins. This decision was made due to a lack of unused raw materials to make new seats, so the eco-construction firm Le Pave turned to make the seats out of waste. Around 11,000 seats will be made from recycled materials.
The plastic collection for Paris 2024 has been carried out in the region’s schools, and over five million coloured bottle caps have been recovered Moreover, 80% of the 100 tons of recycled plastic needed to make the seats come from the yellow bins collections. This is all part of the Paris 2024 “zero waste” strategy to limit single-use plastic usage and encourage a circular economy.
The Olympic Games organizers are planning to make the Paris 2024 Games the greenest Olympic Games yet. They seek to apply a carbon-neutral approach that will lessen the climate impact of the Games by predicting, avoiding, reducing and balancing emissions(排放)and encouraging others to get involved. The Summer Games have released 3.6 million tons of carbon emissions in previous years. The Paris 2024 Games has set a carbon budget of 1.5 million tons which includes the emissions from construction, transportation and operations of the Games.
These plans are ambitious but are achievable. If Paris 2024 successfully reduces emissions and promotes a circular economy, it might set the standard for future Olympic and Paralympic Games, despite where they are held.
32. What were the 2020 Olympics medals made from
A. Raw metal. B. Reused plastic.
C. Used electronic devices. D. Recycled cardboard.
33. What is the purpose of the Paris 2024 “zero waste” strategy
A. To stop carbon emissions.
B. To make seats for athletes.
C. To restrict single-use plastic usage.
D. To collect coloured bottle caps.
34. What do the underlined words “carbon neutral approach” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Decrease of carbon emissions.
B. Limitation to single-use plastics.
C. Promotion of recycling in school.
D. Encouragement of a circular economy.
35. What is the author’s attitude to the plans for the Paris 2024 Games
A. Uncaring. B. Negative. C. Unclear. D. Favorable.

Tens of thousands of nature lovers see black bears and grizzly bears each year 36 But for the unfortunate few, bear encounters can lead to serious injury or death. If you come upon a bear in its natural setting, your first reaction may be to feel frightened. But staying safe depends on acting carefully and calmly.
37 Some people would suggest running away, but bears can run much faster than humans can. Others say a person should drop to the ground and play dead. 38 It is best to be as educated as possible about different bear behaviors before you head into the wild.
If a bear is coming towards you, you must first determine if the bear attack is defensive(such as when protecting young bears)or predatory(捕食性的)(such as when hunting). 39 Most grizzly bear attacks are defensive. When a bear is defensive, it is feeling threatened. Dropping to the ground is an effective way to show the bear that you are not a threat.
Black bears do not often challenge humans, but when they do, their attacks are usually predatory. Bears do not feel threatened when they are hunting, so playing dead will not help you stay safe. During a predatory bear attack, the first thing you should do is drop any food you have and back away. If the bear still comes towards you, make as much noise as possible by shouting and hitting objects. 40 . You can also use pepper spray(喷雾)during a bear attack. Always bring it with you in the wild, and have it ready to use without delay.
A. It is a good idea to collect some facts about bears.
B. Your frightening behaviour can make the bear back down.
C. Most walk away with exciting memories and photographs.
D. That turns out to be a hint in some situations but not in others.
E. Black bears and grizzly bears are likely to attack for different reasons.
F. You should learn some life-saving skills before going on a hike in the wild.
G. There are many ideas about how a person should react when faced with bears.

Environmental Protection ---We Care, We Can
Aiming to improve our awareness of environmental protection, our school organized us students as volunteers to carry out a special task last Saturday.
Early that sunny morning, we headed to the wetland park nearby in great eagerness. On arriving at the scenic spot, we threw ourselves heartily into various environmental-friendly activities. Some went so much trouble to collect the garbage that was thrown randomly. Some were as busy as bees, introducing various methods and knowledge on environmental protections to those admiring the breathtaking view there. The sun saw our joint effort and enthusiasm.
Much to our satisfaction, our activities were highly thought of. With the volunteers and the people in the park singing high praise for what we did, we were extremely delighted and proud.
Undoubtedly, it is we, you and they who should care about and protect our surroundings.
