This is dangerous as e-waste contains poisonous chemicals and substances that can leak into the environment, getting into crops, animals, water supplies, and even humans.“I was deeply concerned,” recalls Alex. He immediately conducted a survey to assess the situation in his town. The results were astonishing: Among the respondents, only one in eight even knew what e-waste was, let alone how to properly dispose of it.Determined to make a difference, Alex immediately set up a project under WIN, the organization he had established with his friends two years prior to address, community issues. The WIN team publicized their efforts in the local newspaper and distributed notices to students. urging residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the school parking lot. They successfully collected over 21,000 pounds of e-waste, including outdated computers from the school system. Following this, they established a permanent e-waste drop-off center.Recognizing the importance of reuse, which is seven times more efficient than recycling,Alex and his team began exploring ways to returnish (翻新) the old computers. He persuaded his school to integrate computer refurbishment into the curriculum, enabling students to collect, restore, and distribute 260 computers to children in need.Realizing that a drop-off center alone was not a sustainable solution, Alex took his efforts to the state level in 2006. He spoke at the state house, advocating for a new e-waste bill that would outlaw the dumping (倾倒) of e-waste. Along with other supporters, he engaged with lawmakers, presented slideshows, and gathered over 370 signatures. Ultimately, the bill was passed into law.Thanks to the efforts of individuals. like Alex and his team, the message of safe e-waste disposal is gradually gaining attention. As Alex states, “Today’s technology should not become tomorrow’s poison.”4.What was the issue that concerned Alex?A.High investment of e-waste recycling.B.Pollution from burying old computers.C.Unsafe management of electronic waste.D.Wasted stuff in thrown-away electronics.5.What words can best summarize Alex and his team?A.Generous yet inefficient.B.Innovative and committed.C.Passionate yet undisciplined.D.Conventional and cautious.6.Why did Alex and his team explore ways to refurbish old computers?A.To reuse the computers.B.To offer his school a course.C.To recycle the computers.D.To improve study efficiency.7.What is the main message conveyed in the last sentence of the passage?A.Future e-products need to be eco-friendlier.B.Individuals can drive great change on e-waste.C.E-waste is a pressing concern for now and later.D.Old electronic items should be treated properly.Theo works days, nights, and weekends in the tulip (郁金香) fields in the Netherlands and never complains about tired muscles. How is this possible? Theo, named after a retired farmer, is a high-tech robot in the battle to root out disease from the fields.The robot rolls along rows of yellow and red tulips, checking each plant and, when necessary, killing diseased bulbs (鳞茎) to prevent the spread of the tulip-breaking virus (病毒). The virus weakens the bulb, leaving them unable to flower. The dead bulbs are removed from healthy ones in a sorting center after they have been harvested. There are 45 robots like Theo working in the tulip fields of the Netherlands. Their job becomes important as the winter turns to spring and peak season nears, when people come from around the world to admire the colorful flowers.In the past, this work was carried out by knowledgeable farmers. Allan Visser is a third-generation tulip farmer who is using the robot. “You could buy a very nice sports car for the price of the robot,” Visser said. The robot costs 185,000 euros. “It’s a lot slower than a sports car, rolling on caterpillar tracks through fields,” he added. “But I choose the robot because a sports car doesn’t see the sick tulips. Now there are fewer and fewer people who can really do that.”The robots have been trained to detect sick plants. They have cameras and take thousands of photos of the tulips. Their AI model examines the photos, hunting out signs on sick plants, and decides which ones need to be killed. The engineer explains the robots use GPS to be sure they are destroying the correct tulips. The heart of the machine is the knowledge put into the AI model, which comes from experienced tulip farmers like Theo van der Voort, who gave his name to the robot.Van der Voort retired after 52 years of looking for sick flowers in his fields. “It’s fantastic,” he said. “It sees just as much as I see.”8.What does the robot do?A.Plant new tulips.B.Clear troubled bulbs.C.Kill deadly virus.D.Harvest grown flowers.9.What can we infer from Visser’s words?A.He dreams of a sports car.B.Tulip fields are low in production.C.The robot is worth the cost.D.Farmers lack technical knowledge. 10.What is the key to making the robots work effectively?A.GPS systems.B.High-tech cameras.C.Daily training.D.Human knowledge.11.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Theo’s Watch: An Advance in Tulip FarmingB.Al Robots: A Replacement for Aging FarmersC.Tulip Seasons: An Attraction of the NetherlandsD.Visser’s Practice: A Tradition in Tulip BusinessesParents of teenagers often view their children’s friends with distrust, worrying that their children will be pushed by their peers (同龄人) into doing something foolish or even dangerous. Their worries hold water. In a previous study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg found that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of traffic accidents than one driving alone or with an adult.In the following years, Steinberg examined why teens were more likely to take risks in the company of other teenagers. In a later study, by scanning (扫描) the brains of 40 teens and adults, Steinberg found the brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two regions associated with rewards when they were being observed by same-age peers. The reward systems of the brain are activated whenever people experience something rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting food, which make them feel satisfied. In this case, rewards are greater for teens, which motivates them to seek higher-risk experiences.But Steinberg thought peer pressure might also have its positive side. In the latest study, Steinberg’s team used a card game to research how peers affect the way young people gather and apply information. It involved 101 teenage boys who played either alone or with three peers. They chose cards from four decks (牌堆): two decks had “good” cards, and two “bad” ones. Players with peers were more willing to take risks, trying to figure out which decks could help them to win. The results showed that teens playing with their peers engage in more exploratory behavior, learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.Now some experts are proposing that we should take advantage of the teens’ keen sensitivity (敏感) to the presence of friends to improve education. “Risk taking in an educational context is a vital skill that enables progress and creativity,” wrote Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, a professor at University College London.12.What do the underlined words “hold water” in paragraph 1 mean?A.Make sense.B.Face doubts.C.Bring relief.D.Start debates.13.What is the reason behind teens’ dangerous behavior?A.Inability to tell right from wrong.B.A sense of satisfaction.C.Eagerness to follow their friends.D.Lack of social experience.14.How does risk-taking affect teens in the latest study?A.It starts fights between them.B.It inspires them to question.C.It weakens their independence.D.It helps them to learn better.15.What would Blakemore suggest teachers do in the classroom?A.Conduct group discussion.B.Improve time management.C.Encourage personal opinions.D.Develop decision-making skills.World Wildlife Day is celebrated each year on March 3rd. This is a day that has the goal of informing the general public about the plants and wild animals in the world. So you can do many things to celebrate this day.As we all know, litter can be harmful to birds, fish, and other wildlife. Therefore, make an effort to pick up any litter that you see. 16You can visit an aquarium or zoo near you, because aquariums and zoos help a lot with endangered species, allowing their populations to increase. 17 Thus, World Wildlife Day is the perfect day to pay a local aquarium or zoo a visit.If possible, try to learn about the plants and wild animals near you. You can do some research about local wildlife. You can also research some of the threats to these plants and wild animals. 18 For example, if one of the primary threats an animal faces is litter, be sure to deal with it properly, and pick up any litter you see.If you like, you can plant a garden with native tree, bush and flower species. 19 Toplant them in the garden accordingly, it is necessary to do some research beforehand on trees, bushes and flowers that are native to your area and where they would grow best.20 There are a variety of organizations that help wildlife in different ways. If you have a specific species that you’d like to support, or even if you’d just like to help wildlife in general, there might be an organization somewhere that you can join and assist with their efforts. A.Every year, there is a theme for World Wildlife Day.B.If the threat they face is caused by human, try to help reduce it.C.These may be the only places to find certain endangered animals.D.Additionally, it’s a good way to join an organization that helps wildlife.E.These can help provide wild animals with a place where they can shelter.F.Databases online can help us find the plants which are native to our area.G.And you’d better make sure that you reduce the amount of litter you create.二、完形填空There have been quite a few angel sightings on social media lately. That’s because Erica Group, an artist in DeLand, Florida decided—in a moment of inspiration—to etch (蚀刻) a giant pair of 21 onto the side of a local 22 .For several years, Erica has been 23 at a small dress shop in downtown DeLand.

Since then, more than 1,400 people have had their pictures taken with the wings, usually 32 them on Twitter, Instagram and Meta.“It’s become a cool treasure-hunt in town,” Erica says. “Wings are 33 in this alley. Often, a number of people come to ask about their 34 .”The artist wants the wings to be 35 however people wish. Despite the various explanations, they certainly seem to be inspiring people and bringing a bit of joy to Erica’s hometown.21.A.gloves B.pants C.wings D.feathers 22.A.business B.custom C.library D.school 23.A.exploring B.resting C.shopping D.working 24.A.special B.tiny C.cool D.popular 25.A.comment B.order C.fact D.idea 26.A.permission B.attention C.advice D.praise 27.A.stick B.describe C.chalk D.color 28.A.article B.product C.photograph D.program 29.A.However B.Besides C.Otherwise D.Soon 30.A.made up for B.caught on to C.broke away from D.ran out of 31.A.interesting B.famous C.lasting D.natural 32.A.sharing B.introducing C.advertising D.editing 33.A.hidden B.covered C.lost D.ignored 34.A.history B.meaning C.influence D.location 35.A.remembered B.understood C.created D.drawn三、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

So many elderly people have no one to care for them, and no one to love them. When I say this, I am talking about pure love, unconditional love that shows kindness no matter what the situations may be.The elderly have smoothed the pathway of success for our generation. They should be shown appreciation(感激)and kindness, but are often forgotten. I am are all of you have someone in your hearts who has been at a nursing home. Think of them while I say this; they should get the best, nothing but the best. The elderly are such an unusual group of people, and their shining wisdom can most certainly be learned from. This idea of showing appreciation to the elderly reverberated(回响)inside my head, until finally, I decided it was time to step up and make a difference.My love for and ability in writing led me to create an organization, wherepeople from all across the world send nameless letters filled with kindness and joy, from Iceland, Romania, Finland, Australia, and more. I then send these letters to senior centers, and nursing homes located all across the country. To this date, I have collected over 1, 000 letters, and the reaction I have received from these organizations has been truly unbelievable.This past month, I had the opportunity to receive $100 from KindSpring through their monthly kindness competition to help my organization. This money has been of great help. We do not receive much money, and so it helped to pay for many costs, including postage and envelopes. This act of kindness has been very helpful to my organization, and I could not be more appreciative. If any of you would like to get involved in my organization, please visit lovefortheelderly. org.24. Why did the author set up his organizationA. To help the elderly with their daily life.B. To organize activities for the elderly.C. To offer true love to the elderly.D. To raise money for the elderly.25. Which of the following agrees with the author's opinion about the elderlyA. They are being treated well.B. They should end up in senior centers.C. They are wiser than the young.D. They don't get enough attention.26. What helped the author create his organizationA. The letters received worldwide.B. His writing ability.C. His family's encouragement.D. The support from senior centers.27. What can be learned from the last paragraphA. The author doesn't have much money.B. The elderly were very thankful to the author.C. The author turned to KindSpring for help.D. The organization can't be larger.CAs you probably know, learning a foreign language is sometimes challenging. But it can also be fun We spend hundreds of hours at school trying to get our tongues round different vocabulary and grammar in order to earn a qualification. But learning to speak a second language is more than just passing an exam—it opens doors to new opportunities, helps you to communicate with others and makes travelling overseas more satisfactory.It might come as a surprise that the number of teenagers learning foreign languages in UK secondary schools has dropped by 45% since the turn of the millennium. German and French have fallen the most-these languages from two of the UK's closest trading partners have declined at GCSE level. Another survey of secondary schools suggests a third of students have dropped at least one language from their GCSE exam options. There are some reasons for this, including many students'opinion that languages are difficult. Others have questioned the need for a second language when translation technology is advancing.Matthew Fell, chief UK policy director for business group the CBI, believes that “The decline in language learning in schools must be reversed, or else the UK will be less competitive globally and young people less prepared for the modern world.” But even for those who are eager to study another language the opportunity is being reduced. In Scotland, for example, foreign language subjects are being pressed out of many secondary school timetables with some head teachers blaming pressure on the curriculum.However, some native English speakers have admitted the benefits of speaking another tongue Cassandra Scott, from Edinburgh, studied three languages in her final year at school. She is now a freelance translator in Edinburgh, and says “Learning languages at school really set the course for my career.”28. How does the author show the fact that fewer people have learned foreign languagesA. By offering background information.B. By giving specific examples.C. By analyzing underlying reasons.D. By showing personal research.29 What does the underlined word “reversed” in paragraph 3 meanA. Developed rapidly.B. Pushed quickly.C. Changed completely.D. Maintained properly.30. What can we learn from the passageA. A fulfilling overseas travel requires another foreign language.B. Learning languages at school may contribute to one's future career.C. Native English speakers benefit more from speaking another tongue.D. With the translation technology, there's no need to learn foreign languages.31. What's the purpose of the passageA. To criticize people's ignorance of foreign languages.B. To stress the significance of learning foreign languages.C. To state the result of dropping learning foreign languages.D. To raise people's awareness of protecting native languages.DMuch of our thinking about health is based on wishful thinking. But science provides clear and simple advice for a healthy life. Graham Lawton explores the evidence. Graham proves that you don't have to be a health and fitness extremist to be reasonably healthy. He has rounded up the latest and strictest health research and changed it into useful advice on all the big health questions: diet, weight loss, exercise, sleep, ageing and so on.Graham, New Scientist feature writer, is not the common health expert. He sometimes eats fast food. He has a gym membership but rarely uses it. And he takes medicine to keep his blood pressure under control. Heneither has a diet plan nor a 6-week program to keep fit and thin.But he does have a much better weapon: science. In a talk, Graham explains the basic science, tells people some of the secrets of science, teaches people to use the ability of judgement to tell the good from the bad, and helps them to see beyond the headlines. The talk allows people to eat healthily, lose weight, and sort the truth out from science facts. But he loves outdoor sports. Last year Graham cycled over 1, 200 miles and ran the same distance of 15 marathons. He often goes swimming outdoors, walks up eight flights of stairs to his desk instead of taking the lift. He eats his five copies of fruit and vegetables a day, keeps enough water in his body, and doesn't eat much meat. Despite all the bad habits, his good ones seem to be winning. Graham is 50, but his “biological age” was recently measured as 45.32. What can we learn about GrahamA. He has some bad habits.B. He has an extremely strict diet.C. He looks down on common health experts.D. He always bases health on wishful thinking33 What does Graham's talk in paragraph 3 coverA. Words as weapons.B. Health and science.C. Functions of medicine.D. Ability and confidence.34 What does the last paragraph mainly tell us concerning GrahamA. His indoor sports of his life.B. His copies of health books.C. His healthy lifestyle.D. His way of thinking.35. Which is the most suitable title for the textA. The Professional Ways to Do SportsB. The Importance of Exercise for HealthC. The Unique Path to Scientific SuccessD. The Secrets of Living a Healthy Life第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2. 5分,满分12. 5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

His paintings opened people's minds and showed there were many ways to express ideas.Born in Spain in 1881, Picasso learned to paint at an early age because his father was a painter.

The amazing “firefall” comes to life only when there is enough water from the melting(融化)snow to keep the Horsetail Fall flowing and when the light of the setting sun hits the waterfall at the right angle. It can only be seen for a short time in February on clear sunny days.This year, the weather isn’t stopping the “firefall” from happening, but it is making the journey to see it more difficult.“What would have been a 10-minute walk turned into a two-hour hike through deep snow,” photographer Ryan Fitzsimons said about his recent trip to see the phenomenon. “Our clothes were all wet by the time we got to a viewing site. But the heavy snow made the sight much more beautiful since the waterfall is much bigger this year.”Another photographer Andy Heitz was making his first trip to see the “firefall”. He had to wait five hours in the extreme cold for his turn to take a picture.“I got to the site at about 12:00 at noon. The place was already filled with hundreds of people waiting to see and photograph the ‘firefall’. I was so lucky that I shot a really wonderful burner! I was completely amazed wit h what I saw,” he said. “You know, only on a couple days of the year in February and when the sun sets down at the perfect angle to shineon Yosemite’s Horsetail Fall can we see the ‘Fire Fall’. I’ll never forget what I have seen.’’The “firefall” should c ontinue to be there from 20 to 24 February. But park officials said that there’s no guarantee(保证)that visitors will see it on any given day.8、When might be the best time to take pictures of the “firefall”?A. Early in the morning.B. At noon.C. Late in the afternoon.D. At night.9、Why might the “firefall” disappear between 20 to 24 February this year?A. There wouldn’t be enough snow.B. It might be too cloudy.C. The waterfall might not freeze.D. The snow might melt too fast.10、What does the underline d word “burner” in paragraph 5 refer to?A. A worker in the kitchen.B. The fire in the Yosemite National Park.C. A part of a cooker or stove.D. The unique Horsetail Fall in the setting sun.11、What is the main purpose of this text?A. To introduce an attraction.B. To give suggestions for a trip.C. To advertise a park in the US.D. To explain what is a “firefall”.You may think you couldn’t live through summer without air conditioning. But in ancient China, hand fans were almost the only way to drive the heat away.Chinese people started to use hand fans over 2, 000 years ago. The fans came in different shapes and were made from all kinds of materials. Palm leaf fans were cheap and easy to make. Feather fans marked the owner’s high status. Sandalwood f ans could send out a sweet smell. Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool you down. They developed into works of art, in which Tuanshan-round fans, and Zheshan-folded fans, were the most common. In the shape of a fullmoon, Tuanshan were usually made of silk. They had beautiful embroidery (刺绣) featuring birds and flowers on them. Women, especially those in the royal palace, liked to use them. Poets in ancient China often compared an abandoned (被抛弃的) woman to Tuanshan. A poet in the Qing Dynasty, Nalan Xingde was a typical example. He wrote, “If only life were as beautiful as when we first met, why should the autumn wind bother to pity deserted painted fans?”Meanwhile, men, especially the literati (文人), used Zheshan. The literati liked them because Zheshan were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them.It was a way for them to show off their skills in literature, painting and calligraphy (书法). Many things were painted on Zheshan, but the most popular choice was usually beautiful scenery.Today, Chinese people still use these fans, though not many people write or paint on them any more. This summer, why not paint one of your own?12、Which fans could show a person’s social position?A. Hand fans.B. Palm leaf fans.C. Feather fans.D. Sandalwood fans.13、Who did Nalan Xingde refer to by mentioning fans?A. An abandoned woman.B. A woman with a Tuanshan.C. A woman with a Zheshan.D. A woman in the royal palace.14、Why did the literati like Zheshan?A. They were folded fans.B. They came in different shapes.C. They had birds and flowers on them.D. They gave them chances to show the talent.15、Where is the text most likely from?A. A diary.B. A dictionary.C. A fairy tale.D. A magazine.二、七选五16、①_______ You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to.

A week later, she ran into a different Santa in a mall. He stopped to ask what she wanted for Christmas. Kylie was surprised and let him know: "If you can't remember what I told you last week, how are you going to remember on Christmas Eve?!" (---Mary Paul, Milwaukee, Wisconsin) As my son Mike and I drove to the mall, we passed a Salvation Army Santa ringing his bell."Mike," I said, "there's Santa!" He shook his head. "That's just some guy in a Santa suit," he said. It saddened me to think that maybe my son no longer believed in Santa, and we drove the rest of the way in silence. At the mall, we spotted another Santa greeting young believers. Suddenly, Mike took off toward him. Turning back to me, he shouted. "Now, there's the real Santa!" (---Michael E. Fahey, Huntley, Illinois)We immigrated to America from China when I was six. Because I was shy and didn't speak English, I had few friends. My days were spent at home with my brother. Sometimes we'd help our neighbor Mr. Mueller pull weeds. One Christmas Day, there was a knock at the door. Grandma opened it, and there stood a big fellow in red with a snow-white beard, laughing, "Ho, ho, ho!" He handed out presents and made us laugh. I had so much fun. It was years later when I learned that our special Santa was our neighbor Mr. Mueller.(---Joanne Tang, Litchfield Park, Arizona)21. Why was Kylie surprised when running into a different Santa?A.Because she got what she wished.B.Because she knew who the Santa was.C.Because she wished to get another toy.D.Because she thought they were the same Santa.22. What would Mike's parent feel as to Mike's different attitudes towards Santa?A.Angry B.Confused C.Sad D.Unbelievable23. What did Mr. Mueller do on Christmas Day?A.He stood outside our house.B.He stayed with us in our home.C.He continued to pull weeds.D.He gave out gifts by acting as SantaBIf you rent an apartment in Beijing, you also rent the landlord or landlady for at least a year. It's important you find a good match because you have to deal with them in the long term. For me, it was love at first sight with the elderly couple who owns my apartment.It was quite a tough trying to find the right apartment when I first arrived in Beijing. The apartments were either unsuitable or I find fault with the owners who looked indifferent at bestand unfriendly at worst. But that all changed when the renting agent's car stopped in front of a hutong house in the heart of the capital.I saw an elderly couple, in their 70s perhaps, waving to me. They were warm and welcoming at first glance, and when I saw them attentively hanging up the curtains in what would become my bedroom, I was just about sold on the place and the owners!Chinese people talk about yuanfen, meaning fate that brings people together. Before I met my current landlords, I thought the concept of yuanfen was overrated. A generous landlady who liked me and wanted me to move into her apartment had used the term in reference to me. But it was this lovely couple that changed my mind about the concept.We have become accustomed to visiting each other at home. The couple's apartment is lovingly decorated, boasting a recent wedding photo of themselves taken in bridal wear. The landlord likes to smoke and sip tea, while the landlady takes great pride in her appearance.After three years, I dare say they treat me a bit like a “daughter”, despite having two grown sons, one of them close by. They give me gifts of tea or clothes, and I bring them souvenirs from my trips. A match made in heaven, indeed!24. How did the author feel about renting an apartment in Beijing?A.It was a piece of cake.B.There were lots of unfriendly owners.C.It was worth trying different apartments.D.It was not so easy to find a suitable apartment.25. What did the elderly couple do when they first met the author?A.They looked indifferent and find fault with the author.B.They gave a warm welcome and took good care of the house.C.They liked the author and wanted her to move into their apartment.D.They were nice and gave her gifts of tea or clothes.26. Which one is correct about the elderly couple?A.They are newly married.B.They are nice and easy to get along with.C.They love drinking tea.D.They live together with their two sons.27. Which one is the best title for this text?A.Love at first sight B.My experience in BeijingC.A lovely couple D.Heaven on earthCMarathon fever is sweeping this country. In recent years, China's ever-growing passion for marathons has been triggered by its economic development and health-conscious middle class. A large number of marathon runners are white-collar workers, civil servants and business people that are keen on leading a healthy lifestyle. Government support, social participation and strong marketing by the sports industry have gradually led to the rapid development of the marathon industry, which is currently valued at 70 billion yuan ($10.77 billion). Due to its large participation and nationwide media report, marathons are considered by local governments an important part of marketing their cities. Thus, many cities list unique routes across local scenic spots and historical attractions, not only to boost people's fitness, but also to promote local tourism.For many runners, marathons are a way of life." As we get older, the places and opportunities to meet new people decrease. I find that participating in marathons is a simple way to make friends," said Wu, who made many friends in the Xstop Running Community, a running club with 48,000 members established by Xtep, one of the leading distributors of sports merchandise in China."The sense of belonging and the mutual encouragement that exists within the running community are very attractive to many people. We easily befriend one another, since we have the same goal: to keep running and never stop," Wu said. Besides, a marathon can be a great way to explore new places. For a runner who also loves traveling, marathons are a solid choice. "Competing in an international marathon is a chance to experience a city or a country you've never visited before," said Meng, an experienced runner from north China's Tianjin Municipality, who often runs in London, New York and Melbourne.There's a unique perspective that people get running through the streets of a city, distinct ancient buildings or amazing natural settings, he explained, things that somehow just can't be seen by rushing in a car. In addition, during a race, streets are often closed off so you don't have to battle traffic.28.Which word has the closest meaning to the underlined word "triggered" in the first paragraph?___A.motivated B.solved C.battled D.increased29.Who is most likely to take part in the marathons___A.John,a company managerB.Jack,a middle-aged farmerC.Rose,a high school studentD.Maria,a retired teacher30.According to paragraph 3&4,which of the following statement is NOT true?___A.A marathon can be a great way to explore new placesB.There is few traffic in the streets during a marathon race.C.You see common sights by running through the streets of a cityD.Many people are attracted to mutual encouragement of the running community.31.Why do local governments support the marathons?___A.Because nationwide media coverage can make them famous.B.Because they realize the benefits for their citizens.C.Because local scenic spots and historical attractions can have unique routes.D.Because they want to make people healthier and boost tourism.DI began cycling in 2004 when I was a poor student. It was dangerous, sure, but cycling is the fastest, cheapest point-to-point form of transport in Melbourne. I own a car now, but that’s just for transporting the baby or groceries.I hate driving. So it’s been quite encouraging watching the growth in cyclist numbers over the past decade. It is said that over 10,000 cyclists enter the CBD (Central Business District) each day, taking pressure off public transport. But as more people take to cycling as a way of transport, the number of cyclists seriously injured or killed keeps increasing. And that is a sign that our infrastructure (基础设施) is still not good enough.Melbourne was once a dream for cyclists--flat, long, wide roads, with plenty of paths along rivers. Now, cycling can be deadly, with roads taken up by cars. I have a friend who broke her back and was lucky to escape death and others with broken bones. In my time riding, I’ve been forced off the road by a truck, cut off by four-wheel drives, and told to get off the road. Drivers are a particularly rude to cyclists.
