A
(2016·济南市教学质量调研考试)The
Netherlands
on
Monday
launched
its
first ever
“intelligent
bicycle”，
fitted
with
a
set
of
electronic
devices
to
help
bring
down
the
high
accident
rate
among
elderly
cyclists
in
this
country.
The
intelligent
bicycle
runs
on
electricity.
Its
seat
shakes
when
other
cyclists
approach
from
behind,
while
the
handlebars
do
the
same
when
obstacles
appear
ahead
to
inform
cyclists
to
pay
attention
to
the
danger.
It
also
has
a
cradle
(置物架)
in
which
a
computer
can
be
inserted,
to
wirelessly
connect
and
“talk”
to
the
bicycle
through
a
particular
application.
The
computer
also
flashes
a
bright
signal
if
there
is
an
approaching
obstacle
in
the
bicycle's
path,
like
a
tree,
or
if
another
cyclist
comes
up
from
behind
intending
to
pass.
A
commercial available
bicycle
is
expected
to
be
on
the
market
in
the
next
two
years
and
should
sell
for
between
1,700
euros
to
3,200
euros
per
bicycle.
It
weighs
about
55
pounds
but
researchers
are
working
on
making
the
on board
systems
smaller.
“Accidents
often
happen
when
cyclists
look
behind
them
or
get
a
fright
when
they
are
passed
at
high
speed，”said
Maurice
Kwakkernaat,
one
of
the
scientists
involved
in
the
project,
“The
on board
system
technology
has
already
been
at
work
in
the
automotive
industry.”
“More
and
more
elderly
people
are
using
a
bicycle,
not
only
for
short
distances,
but
also
for
longer
distances，”Dutch
Environment
Minister
Melanie
Schultz
van
Haegen
said.“This
type
of
bicycle
is
truly
needed
in
the
Netherlands
because
it
will
help
us
bring
down
the
number
of
elderly
people
who
are
injured
every
year
and
allow
them
to
continue
enjoying
cycling，”
she
said.

Shoes
Academician

the
country
came
to
the

Some
national
leaders

sent
a
wreath.
Li
was
a
professor
at
Beijing
Normal
University
and
an
academician
of
the
Chinese
Academy
of
Sciences.
His
research
achievements
have
advanced
the

science,
and

China
one
of
the
leaders
in
this
field.

for

He
was

In

attentively
making
a
lecture
with
shabby
clothes,
grizzled
hair
and
straggling
beard,
without
socks,
and
wearing
black
cloth
shoes.
He
looked
like
an
old
villager,
rather
than
a
famous
scientist.
The
photo
became
popular
on
the
Internet
and
earned
him
the
title
of
the
“Cloth
Shoes
Academician”.
His
simple
plain
image,
kindness
to
all
his
students
and
dedication
to
his
career
are
three
important
features
on
him.
All
these
are
precious
to
educational
and
academic
community.
“The
society
is
changeable
but
Academician
Li
is
quiet.
He
faced
all
stuff
with
his
characters
of
quietness
and
simplicity.
It

C
(2016·江西九校第二次联考)Liverpool
is
famed
for
many
things
—
most
especially
The
Beatles
and
its
football
team.
But
few
would
associate
the
city
with
one
of
the
most
famous
political
speeches
in
history.
Yet
tourism
officials
in
the
city
have
published
the
claim
that
Martin
Luther
King's
“I
Have
a
Dream”
was
written
at
a
city
centre
hotel.
The
allegation
(说法)
has
been
made
in
a
guide
to
a
major
art
event
named
Liverpool
Discovers.
A
map
in
the
guide
shows
more
than
20
locations
where
famous
people
were
born
along
with
places
associated
with
celebrities
(名人)
and
events
in
their
life.
The
guide
claims,
“Martin
Luther
King
visited
his
supporters
in
Liverpool
three
times,
and
the
first
draft
of
his
famous
speech
‘I
Have
a
Dream’
is
claimed
to
have
been
written
at
Adelphi
Hotel.”
The
speech,
delivered
to
civil
rights
campaigners
on
the
steps
of
the
Lincoln
Memorial
in
Washington
in
1963,
is
one
of
the
most
quoted
texts
in
history
and
was
a
definitive
moment
in
the
American
Civil
Rights
Movement
and
in
the
fight
for
racial
equality.
Dr.
King's
biographer,
Godfrey
Hodgson,
said
that
the
suggestion
did
not
fit
the
facts.
He
said,
“I
don't
believe
it.
If
he
had
been
to
Liverpool,
there
would
have
been
massive
media
reports,
as
he
would
have
been
a
big
figure
by
then.
Dr.
King
did
visit
the
UK
on
a
number
of
occasions
but
he
was
not
in
the
UK
around
the
time
of
this
famous
speech
in
1963.”Prof.
John
Belcham,
a
history
lecturer
of
University
of
Liverpool
who
wrote
an
800 year
history
of
Liverpool
in
2008,
confirmed
that
he
was
unaware
of
any
connection
between
Dr.
King
and
the
city.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文，主要探讨了Liverpool这座城市是否与Martin
Luther
King有关。
8．In
the
first
paragraph,
the
writer
tells
us
indirectly
that
________.
A．Liverpool
Discovers
was
created
to
remember
Martin
Luther
King
B．many
famous
political
speeches
in
history
were
delivered
in
Liverpool
C．most
people
think
Liverpool
is
known
for
the
famous
speech
“I
Have
a
Dream”
D．the
claim
that
“I
Have
a
Dream”
was
written
in
Liverpool
still
lacks
evidence
解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第一段的“But
few
would
associate
the
city
with
one
of
the
most
famous
political
speeches
in
history.”可知，作者间接地告诉我们《我有一个梦想》是在Liverpool写的这种说法缺乏证据，故D项正确。
9．The
guide
offers
relevant
information
about
________.
A．the
places
associated
with
celebrities
B．the
families
of
celebrities
C．the
contributions
of
celebrities
D．the
daily
life
of
celebrities
解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句可知，这本旅游指南提供的相关信息是与名人之间有联系的地方，故A项正确。
10．What
can
we
infer
from
the
last
paragraph
A．Godfrey
held
a
negative
attitude
towards
Dr.
King.
B．There
were
some
arguments
about
whether
Dr.
King
wrote
the
speech
himself.
C．The
connection
between
Dr.
King
and
Liverpool
was
doubted
by
some
experts.
D．John
was
unaware
of
any
connection
between
Dr.
King
and
Liverpool.
解析：选C　推理判断题。根据最后一段的“...he
was
not
in
the
UK
around
the
time
of
this
famous
speech
in
1963.”和“...confirmed
that
he
was
unaware
of
any
connection
between
Dr.
King
and
the
city.”可知，二者之间的联系受到某些专家的怀疑，故C项正确。
11．What
would
be
the
best
title
for
this
passage
A．Martin
Luther
King
and
His
Speech
B．Is
Liverpool
Connected
to
Martin
Luther
King
C．Liverpool
Is
a
Good
Choice
for
Holidaymakers
D．The
Most
Famous
People
in
Liverpool
解析：选B　标题归纳题。文章主要探讨了Liverpool与Martin
Luther
King之间是否有联系，故B项正确。
