一、阅读理解

A

Jim Sebastian,50,is a transportation planner and manager of the District’s active transportation branch,which runs Capital Bikeshare and is responsible for trails,bike lanes and pedestrian (行人) planning. You bike to work every day,right?

Not every day.But most days I bike for at least part of it. Do you stop at all stop signs?

Of course.

When you’re driving a car,have you ever shouted or shaken your fist at a bicyclist?

No,I haven’t shouted at them,but I have taken into account the kind of frustration most drivers might feel behind a cyclist.But my position is that I respect their right to be on the road and try to give them as much space as possible.

Should bicyclists be required to have licenses?

No.I think that would really cut down on the convenience of bicycling.I don’t really think it makes sense and it would be a great burden for the government to try and license all riders. Would you support a one-day event where people can only walk or bike or take public transportation?

That would be nice,but it might be a bit of a challenge.What we saw on the Metro closure day was that on very short notice a lot of people found other ways to get to work,and that was exciting.We offered a free day membership on Bikeshare,and we had a lot of people try it for the first time.We had 149 people join or renew that day.

What mode of transportation in D.C.should we get rid of?And you can’t say the streetcar.

You’re not going to get me to answer that question,Joe.It’s just the opposite.It’s which modes we are going to introduce and what variations we are going to introduce to make us even more mobile.If we have options and backup (备用的) options and connections,that’s what makes the city not only more sustainable and more convenient and cheaper but,frankly,more fun. 1.What can we infer about most drivers driving behind a cyclist? A.They may feel annoyed and upset. B.They stay far away from the cyclist. C.They show great respect to the cyclist. D.They make way for the cyclist politely. 2.What is Jim’s attitude to bicycle licensing? A.Supportive. C.Negative.

B.Cautious. D.Doubtful.

A brand new scooter (滑板车) was recently left outside a shop in Cornwall with a heartwarming note,saying:“Free to a little boy or girl who is not lucky enough to have one.” The scooter belonged to Max,a generous six-year-old.The child was given a new scooter for his birthday but he already had one,so he decided that he didn’t need it.

He told his parents he wanted a family who could not afford a scooter to take his extra one and they helped him put a plan together.They spoke with the owner of a local shop in Trispen,Cornwall,who let the family leave the scooter outside.They attached a note to it,saying it was free to take.

When the family returned to the shop after a short trip out,they found a thank-you note sitting where the scooter once stood,and the family then knew that a happy child was racing home with a new scooter.The note read:“Thank you so much! I love my new scooter.Love Ayla.”

Max’s mum,Deborah,proudly said her six-year-old son had always been generous.The family was thrilled that someone could appreciate and treasure their spare scooter.She also added how they would love to hear from Ayla.

“He realized he couldn’t have two scooters so he said he wanted to give it to another boy or girl who didn’t have one,” Deborah said.The post has been widely shared and appreciated.Max’s kind action has warmed the hearts of many people on Facebook.“I’m very proud of him.He’s my little superstar.There are kind people out there.”

When Max was asked if he had a message for Ayla,he joyfully said:“I hope you enjoy it.” 5.What was the main reason for Max’s offering his new scooter? A.His friend Ayla badly needed one. B.He already had one of his own. C.His mother asked him to do so. D.He disliked the scooter’s style. 6.How did Max give away his new scooter? A.By having it sent to Ayla.
