课时提升作业九必修2Unit 4Wildlife protection(限时35分钟)Ⅰ. 阅读理解AWhen I was little, I saw tons of bats flying around streetlights at night in my neighborhood in upstate New York.By the time I turned 7, I noticed something strange: All the bats in my neighborhood had vanished, and I wondered why. Later I learned what had happened to my town’s bats. A disease called “white nose syndrome(白鼻综合征)” had killed 93 percent of New York State’s bats(and about 6 million bats across the country)! I was shocked. I asked the bat biologist what I could do to help, and she said, “Tell others what’s been happening. Help people understand that bats are important to our environment and need to be protected. ”I thought I must teach people about bats. My first stop? The library, where I eventually checked out every book on bats they had. Next, I started a Facebook page called Buddies for Bats and posted any photos, facts, and videos that I could find. Then I wrote a letter to the host of anenvironmental program on my local radio station, asking if they’d do a show on bats. (They did! )But I still wanted to find a way to educate people face to face. I managed to make a presentation to a school. I also used tools to describe how bats help farmers(and protect our food supply) by eating crop-damaging insects.I practiced my presentation until it shone like a polished stone. It went over so well that other teachers started requesting me. Over the past three years, I’ve talked in front of everyone from 5-year-olds to senior citizens! The more I present, the more I notice that I am changing minds. I have watched people go from dismissing bats as “disgusting(令人厌恶的)” to truly understanding them and advocating their protection.Right now, I’m thinking of becoming a marine biologist(海洋生物学家) someday. As long as I’m helping animals, I’ll be happy.【文章大意】本文是记叙文。
课时规范练9(必修2Unit 4)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2018·河北辛集中学期中检测)When scientists accidentally killed what turned out to be the world’s oldest living creature,it was bad enough.The ocean quahog(圆蛤)—a type of deep-sea creature—was caught alive from the bottom of the North Atlantic near Iceland in 2006 by researchers.They then put it in a freezer,as is normal practice,unaware of its age.It was only when it was taken to a lab that scientists from Bangor University studied it and concluded it was 400 years old.The discovery made it into the Guinness Book of World Records.However,by this time,it was too late for Ming the Mollusc(软体动物)—named after the Chinese dynasty when its life began.Unfortunately,researchers who calculated Ming’s age killed it instantly by opening its shell.The researchers opened the ancient clam(蛤) up to judge its age by counting growth rings inside.But the rings were so close together that scientists ended up having to count the rings on the outside to be accurate,leading the Columbia Broadcasting System to point out that Ming could have lived on,if scientists had just started there.Now,after examining the ocean quahog more closely,using more advanced methods,the researchers have found the animal was actually 100 years older than they first thought.Dr Paul Butler,from the University’s School of Ocean Sciences,said,“We got it wrong the first time and maybe we were a bit hasty publishing our findings then.But we are absolutely certain that we’ve got the right age now.”A quahog’s shell grows by a layer every year,in the summer when the water is warmer and food is plentiful.It means that when its shell is cut in half,scientists can count the lines in a similar way trees can be dated by rings in their trunks.The clam was born in 1499—just seven years after Columbus discovered America and before Henry Ⅷ had even married his first wife,Catherine of Aragon in 1509.1.What caused the death of Ming the Mollusc?A.Extreme cold.B.High temperature.C.An unknown disease.D.Researche rs’ mistake.2.The researchers had great difficulty in .A.keeping Ming fresh in the freezerB.calculating Ming’s age from insideC.opening Ming’s shell wide enoughD.counting Ming’s rings on the outside3.The last two paragraphs are developed mainly .A.by timeB.by exampleC.by comparisonD.by space〚导学号23280041〛Ⅱ.完形填空(2018·云南玉溪期中检测)Once upon a time a Brahmin(婆罗门) came to visit Birbal.He came with a strange 1.He wanted to be addressed as “pandit”.Now the term “pandit” refers to a man of 2.But unfortunately this poor Brahmin was uneducated.Birbal tried to explain the difference tohim,saying that it was not 3 to call an uneducated man a pandit and because of this very reason it would be improper to 4 him so.But the Brahmin had his heart set on this 5.So,as usual,Birbal had a(n) 6.He said that as the Brahmin was an uneducated man,he should hurl(猛投) abuse and 7 at anyone who dared to address him by the very same title he wanted.Then Birbal 8 all his servants to call this lowly Brahmin a pandit.The Brahmin was very 9.But the moment the servants started addressing him as “pandit”,he 10 to be veryangry and started to abuse them 11.Then as clever Birbal 12,he picked up a few stones and hurled them in their 13.All this 14 and screaming drew a crowd.When people realized that this Brahmin was 15every time anyone called him “pandit”,they all started to 16 him.Over the next couple of days,he would 17hear “pandit” wherever he went.Very soon the whole town 18 referring to him as a pandit much to his delight.The 19 Brahmin never realized why people were calling him in this manner.And he was extremely pleased with the result.He 20 Birbal from the very bottom of his foolish heart.1.A.girl B.beliefC.excuseD.request2.A.managing B.strugglingC.learningD.training3.A.possible B.correctC.legalD.easy4.A.offer B.answerC.teachD.call5.A.program B.reportC.personD.title6.A.aim B.chanceC.ideaD.change7.A.stones B.ropesC.bricksD.bottles8.A.forced B.orderedC.persuadedD.permitted9.A.interested B.shockedC.encouragedD.pleased10.A.failed B.pretendedC.continuedD.hesitated11.A.nervously B.sadlyC.loudlyD.frequently12.A.advised B.imaginedC.believedD.thought13.A.face B.directionC.bodyD.path14.A.fighting B.shoutingC.jumpingD.reading15.A.happy dC.excitedD.angry16.A.beat B.helpC.teaseugh17.A.luckily B.constantlyC.finallyD.suddenly18.A.avoided B.allowedC.startedD.considered19.A.silly zyC.cruelD.careless20.A.thanked B.understoodC.trustedD.praised〚导学号23280042〛Ⅲ.语篇填空(2018·辽宁凌源实验中学、凌源二中期中检测)Think fast:How close do you live to your local grocery store?Most of us don’t know.As long as it’s close to home,it’s not a problem.But when you don’t have a local grocery store,or you have one but it’s too far away to get to 1.transportation,figuring out how you’ll buy your groceries 2.

课时提升作业十九必修4 Unit 4 Body language(限时35分钟)Ⅰ. 阅读理解AWhite-collar workers increasingly unhealthy An increasing number of white-collar workers in Shanghai are getting failing grades on their physical examinations, according to a white paper on the health of white-collar workers in Shanghai.Carried out by Shanghai Foreign Service Group, a human resources company, the report indicated that more than 53 percent of males are overweight, 46 percent suffer from a fatty liver and about 26 percent have elevated blood lipids (血脂). However, females are more often diagnosed as having breast lesions (乳房病变) that could lead to cancer (85 percent), thyroid (甲状腺) disorder (34 percent) and hemorrhoids (痔疮) (23 percent).Though the report also found that white-collar workers were paying increasing attention to their health—with about 84 percent saying they followed their condition closely or very closely—those with healthy lifestyles dropped to 64 percent last year from 77 percent in 2015.The report came from about 500, 000 physical exams taken by white-collar workers in Shanghai over the past five years. “I always eat and drink too much and never exercise, ” said Wei Ruoxi, a 26-year-old working in finance who is struggling with being overweight. “I know what a healthy lifestyle looks like, but the job just brings too much pressure and squeezes out exercise time, ” she added. Hu Xiaolong, 30, an accountant in Shanghai, said he was determined to live healthily from now on. “My recent physical examination shows a little shadow in the lung, which startled me when I heard it. I really need to quit bad habits like smoking and staying up late. ”The white paper also showed that more people are turning to commercial health insurance to cope with financial risks caused by health problems. The popularity of insurance purchases among the participants reached 15. 3 percent last year, a rise of 4 percentage points in just one year. Most participants also expected their companies to help them with effective health management, such as offering membership cards for gyms, flexible working schedules and regular physical examinations.【文章大意】文章详细介绍了一份关于白领工人健康检查结果的白皮书: 白领工人的健康状况正在下降。
课时训练(九)Ⅰ.阅读理解I grew up knowing I was different,and I hated it.I was born with a cleft(分裂的)lip,and when I started to go to school,my classmates were constantly laughing at me-a little girl with a cleft lip and crooked(歪的)nose.I couldn't even blow up a balloon without holding my nose.When my schoolmates asked,“What happened to your lip?” I'd tell them that I'd fallen as a baby and cut it on a piece of glass.Somehow it seemed more acceptable to have suffered an accident than to have been born different.Then I entered the second grade,and Mrs.Leonard's class.She was round and pretty.Everyone adored her.But no one came to love her more than I did.And for a special reason.The time came for the annual “hearing tests”.I was barely able to hear anything out of one ear.So I cheated.I had learned to watch other children and raised my hand when they did during group testing.The “whisper test” required a different deception(骗术):each child would go to the door of the classroom,turn sideways and block one ear with a finger.And the teacher would whisper something from her desk,which the child would repeat.Then the same thing was done for the other ear.Nobody checked to see how tightly the untested ear was being blocked,so I pretended to block mine.My turn came.I turned my bad ear to her,plugging_up the other ear solidly with my finger,and then gently backed my finger out enough to be able to hear.I waited,and then heard the words that God had surely put into her mouth;seven words that changed my life forever.Mrs.Leonard,the pretty teacher I adored,said softly,“I wish you were my little girl.”1.The author lied to her classmates because she____________.A.didn't want to tell others her storyB.wanted to get sympathy from themC.wanted to make her cleft lip more acceptableD.wanted to be a special person2.We can learn from the “whisper test” that________.A.everyone would be tested in groupsB.there was something wrong with one of the author's earsC.the teacher would check whether the untested ear was blockedD.the students had to be face to face with the teacher3.The underlined words,“plugging up”,in Paragraph 2 from the bottom,can be replaced by “________”.A.protecting B.coveringC.examining D.holding4.What is the best title for the text?A.A Teacher Who Makes Others ConfidentB.The Words of God Saved MeC.A Small Expression of Love That Went a Long WayD.An Unforgettable Test That Corrected My MistakeⅡ.完形填空It was a Thursday in Germany.I was taking an autumn walk through the fields when I saw a handbag lying on the ground.It looked like it might have__1__a midaged lady.Thinking it had been stolen and__2__aside,I picked it up.Maybe there were some__3__left that the owner still needed.But when I opened it,the__4__seemed undisturbed.Actually,the papers showed its owner was a__5__woman of Turkish origin (let's call her Lale).I tried to__6__Lale.However,she wasn't listed in the phone book.A prescription(药方)inside showed her doctor's__7__.I called the doctor's office.__8__,they didn't have her number either.I__9__turning the handbag in to the police,but I was curious.Who was Lale?So I drove to her__10__.It was a nice apartment building.I rang the doorbell but nobody__11__.I was about to write a__12__but then Lale's mother__13__.She was so happy that I had__14__her daughter's bag and she asked me to come in for coffee.When Lale got home,she was so__15__that I'd brought her bag back.She was supposed to go on a class trip to Austria,and wouldn't have been able to__16__the borders without her resident's permit!Lale's mother invited me for dinner and I was happy to__17__.She served me a delicious Turkish dish that I had wanted to learn to le's mother gave me her__18__and showed me which kind of cabbage to use and__19__me on the right kind of tomato purée to buy.After dinner I was served coffee and sweets.When I was__20__Lale's mother invited me to visit again.How wonderful life can be if you just follow wherever kindness leads.1.A.belonged to B.led toC.devoted to D.added to2.A.put B.thrownC.taken D.looked3.A.books B.papersC.pictures D.tools4.A.shape B.surfaceC.contents D.brand5.A.poor B.youngC.pretty D.strange6.A.discover B.tellC.contact D.remind7.A.number B.reputationC.advice D.announcement8.A.Unfortunately B.ObviouslyC.Eventually D.Especially9.A.enjoyed B.rememberedC.imagined D.considered10.A.house B.hospitalC.office D.destination11.A.answered B.laughedC.helped D.walked12.A.letter B.diaryC.note D.report13.A.burst in B.came outC.ran away D.turned out14.A.checked B.guardedC.protected D.returned15.A.surprised B.determinedC.worried D.terrified16.A.cross B.arriveC.visit D.find17.A.admit B.acceptC.promise D.join18.A.recipe B.methodC.thought D.rule19.A.included B.presentedC.instructed D.described20.A.standing B.sittingC.leaving D.stoppingⅢ.对话填空阅读下列对话,掌握其大意,并根据上下文填写空白处所需的内容(不多于3个单词)或所提供单词的正确形式。
课时作业(九)Ⅰ.阅读理解[2017·湖北八校联考]Researchers found that women who had given birth might have a reduced risk of death from several common conditions than those who had not,according to a study released Friday by the Imperial College London (ICL).The study,led by ICL researchers,was published in the journal BMC Medicine.It investigates the association between the socalled reproductive factors—such as having children and breastfeeding—and a woman's risk of death.Researchers analyzed data from 322,972 women across 10 countries,including the UK,France,Germany and Sweden,with an average age of 50.Each woman was followed for an average of 12.9 years.During this period,there were 14,383 deaths overall,which included 5,938 deaths from cancer and 2,404 deaths from circulatory system diseases,according to the study.The team compared reproductive factors with the risk of death from several common conditions,such as breast cancer,strokes and heart diseases.The researchers found that women who had given birth had a 20 percent reduced risk of death than those who had not.It was also found that there was a reduced risk of death (8 percent) in women who had breastfed compared to those who had not.The risk of death from cancer was lower in those who had given birth compared to those who had not.Within this group,the risk was reduced even further in women that gave birth to two or three children in comparison to those who had only one child.“Hormonal mechanisms may explain the lower risk of death that we observed with breastfeeding,and having given birth,as these factors are associated with changes in hormone levels,” said Dr Melissa Merritt from ICL,who led the study.1.According to the passage,the risk of death from cancer is lower in women who________.A.have given birth to no childB.have given birth to one childC.have given birth to more than one childD.have breastfed2.According to the research,if a woman has given birth and breastfed,her riskof death will decrease by________.A.20% B.28%C.12% D.16%3.Which of the following might be one of the findings of the research?A.Several common conditions lead to women's death.B.Reproductive factors are associated with changes in hormone levels.C.Women who have given birth live longer than those who have not.D.Having children might reduce women's risk of death from some diseases.答案:[解题导语]研究表明,和没生育过孩子的妇女相比,生育过孩子的妇女患病死亡的概率会大大降低.1.C 解析:细节理解题.根据倒数第二段中的“the risk was reduced even further in women that gave birth to two or three children in comparison to those who had only one child”可知,生育两个或三个孩子的妇女比只生育过一个孩子的妇女患癌症死亡的概率低.故选C项.2.B 解析:细节理解题.根据第六段“The researchers found that women who had given birth had a 20 percent reduced risk of death than those who had not. It was also found that there was a reduced risk of death (8 percent) in women who had breastfed compared to those who had not.”可知,生育并且哺乳过的妇女死亡的概率会下降28%(20%+8%).故选B项.3.D 解析:推理判断题.根据第一段中的“Researchers found that women who had given birth might have a reduced risk of death from several common conditions than those who had not”和第五段中的“such as breast cancer,strokes and heart diseases”可推断出,生育孩子会降低女性患病死亡的概率.故选D项.Ⅱ.阅读填空[2017·黑龙江牡丹江一中期末]As a health editor,I spend the majority of my day applying my mind to contents related to health.We're lucky to talk to experts on a daily basis about how to live our best lives.__1__1.Have a bedtime.Getting enough sleep is good for everything ranging from weight to mood and even the immune system.One of the simplest things you can do to ensure you get enough sleep each night is to set a bedtime.__2__2.Cultivate your emotional intelligence.To have emotional intelligence means to be “confident,good at working toward your goals and adaptable”.It's made up of five parts:social skills,empathy,motivation,selfawareness and selfregulation.And fortuna tely,these are all qualities you can cultivate.__3__Know what you're good at and where you can stand to improve,etc.3.__4__I'm an objectively fast person—fast at walking,eating,talking and so on.This makes me very impatient.Stopping to smell the roses has never been my strong point.But slowing down to appreciate life and all its little moments builds gratitude—and that's a very healthy thing.4.Find an exercise you actually enjoy.I hate running.But I'll still do it,because of health.However,there are certainly other ways I'd rather get my fitness in.And that's completely OK.For me,exercise is a pill best swallowed like volleyball.__5__A.Take a time to appreciate your life.B.Be curious about things beyond you.C.Break away from your habit of doing things fast.D.For you,it may be dancing,or swimming,or riding your bike.E.If you fail to do so,change the time you have set for yourself.F.It's clear that life would be healthier if we would just do the following things.G.Forgive yourself if you can't meet it every night,but make a point to try to stick to it.答案:[解题导语]本文是一篇说明文.文章介绍了健康生活的四种方法:有充足的睡眠;培养情商;学会花时间感恩生活;寻找喜欢的锻炼方式.1.F 解析:根据下文可知,后面都是列举一些可以让生活更健康的方法.F项句意:显然,如果我们做下列事情,生活就会更健康.符合语境,故选F项.2.G 解析:根据设空前的ensure you get enough sleep each

课时作业(九)[必修2Unit 4Wildlife protection][限时:30分钟]Ⅰ.语法填空In the 1950s, a family that owned a farm near Beulah, Michigan kept a bull chained to an elm (榆树). The bull paced 1.________ the tree, dragging the heavy iron chain, which led to a groove (槽) in the bark (树皮). The groove 2.________ (deep) over the years. Though for whatever reason, it did not kill the tree.3.________ some years, the family took their bull away. They cut the chain, leaving the loop around the tree and one link 4.________(hang) down.Then one year, agricultural catastrophe struck Michigan in 5.________ form of Dutch elm disease. All of the elms lining the road leading to the farm became infected 6.________ died. Everyone thought that the old elm would be the next.

Nobody could understand 9.________ it was the only elm still standing in the county. It's said that 10.________doesn't kill you will make you stronger. Or, as a plant pathologists (病理学家) put it,“Life breaks us all, but afterwards, many of us are strongest at the broken places.”Ⅱ.[2011·山东卷] 阅读理解Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.“I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘come home’,but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Jacobs.The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear from more families like the Jacobses.More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.At the same time, tuition(学费)continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.“If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won't have an affordable system of higher education,”says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide thatstudent loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.11.According to Paragraph 1,why did the plan of the Jacobs family fail?A.The twins wasted too much money.B.The father was out of work.C.Their savings ran out.D.The family fell apart.12.How did the Jacobses manage to solve their problem?A. They asked their kids to come home.B. They borrowed $20,000 from the schools.C.They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.D.They got help from the schools and the federal government.13.Financial aid administrators believe that ________.A. more families will face the same problem as the JacobsesB. the government will receive more letters of complaintC.college tuition fees will double soonD. America's unemployment will fall14.What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?A.They blamed the government for the tuition increase.B. Their income remained steady in the last decade.C.They will try their best to send kids to college.D.

Unit 2 Working the landⅠ.阅读理解ABritish shoppers buy 2.15 million tonnes of clothing and shoes annually,yet UK citizens have an estimated £30 billion worth of unused clothing gatherin g dust at the back of the wardrobe (衣柜).But new technology could see the end of that,with the garments themselves giving owners a gentle reminder of their existence.“Smart clothes”could help us clear out our wardrobes by sending messages or tweeting us if they haven't been worn for a good while.If these alerts are ignored,the garments will get in touch with a clothing charity and ask to be reused,with an organization automatically sending out donation information.They could also be programm ed to put themselves up for auction(拍卖) on eBay.Academics at Birmingham City University are developing the “connected wardrobe”to encourage more suitable clothes consumption. The concept sees garments tagged (给……加标签) using washable contactless technology.Mark Brill,senior lecturer at Birmingham City University,said,“Think of the surprise when an owner suddenly receives bids for items that they didn't know were in their wardrobe.”“The connected wardrobe is a practical,pleasant concept to encourage people to think about theirclothing consumption.Finally,I hope it will encourage more appropriate fashion consumption,”he added.“Perhaps we can even move away from the idea of‘ownership’of clothing.When we've worn them enough,the items will pass themselves on to their next keeper.”It follows in the footsteps of the “Internet of Things”—a concept that sees ordinary household items connecting to the Internet in order to share information.From adjusting your alarm clock t o monitoring the temperature of your home,the Internet is changing the way we live.Now,the “Internet of Clothes”will see that neglected garments will tweet and text the owners “asking”to be worn depending on the weather and frequency of wear.Clothes will keep track of other information such as who owned them previously,as well as how much they originally cost,who made them and how much the worker was paid for them.[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了新型的“智能衣服”“智能衣柜”,而这一科技发明可以帮助人们更好地管理自己的衣服,树立正确的消费观念。

They found to their amazement that modern forest and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian elephants and mammoths.The scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephant and the African forest elephant have been distinct species for several million years. The divergence of the two species took place around the time of the divergence of Asian elephants and woolly mammoths. This result amazed all the scientists.There has long been debate in the scientific community that the two might be separate species, but this is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different species.Previously, many naturalists believed that African savanna elephants and African forest elephants were two populations of the same species, despite the elephants' significant size differences. The savanna elephant has an average shoulder height of 3.5metres while the forest elephant has an average shoulder height of 2.5metres. The savanna elephant weighs between six andseven tons, roughly double the weight of the forest elephant. But the fact that they look so different does not necessarily mean they are different species. However, the proof lay in the analysis of the DNA.Alfred Roca, assistant professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois, said, “We now have to treat the forest and savanna elephants as two different units for conservation purposes. Since 1950, all African elephants have been conserved as one species. Now that we know the forest and savanna elephants are two very distinctive animals, the forest elephant should become a bigger priority (优先)for conservation purposes.”16.One of the fossils studied by the researchers is that of ________.A.the Asian elephantB.the forest elephantC.the savanna elephantD.the mastodon elephant17.The underlined word “divergence” in Paragraph 4 means “________”.A.evolution B.exhibitionC.separation D.examination18.The researchers' conclusion was based on a study of the African elephant's ________.A.DNA B.heightC.weight D.population19.What are Alfred Roca's words mainly about?A.The conservation of African elephants.B.The purpose of studying African elephants.C.The way to divide African elephants into two units.D.The reason for the distinction of African elephants.20.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A.Naturalists' Beliefs about ElephantsB.Amazing Experiments about ElephantsC.An Unexpected Finding about ElephantsD.A Long Scientific Debate about ElephantsⅢ.阅读表达阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到相应的横线上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。

BThe Crowne Plaza Hotel in Copenhagen is offering a free meal to any guest who is able to produce electricity for the hotel on an exercise bike linked to a generator (发电机). The idea is to get people fit and reduce their carbon footprint. Guests will have to produce at least 10 watt hours of electricity—roughly 15 minutes of cycling for someone of average fitness. Guests staying at Plaza Hotel will be given meal tickets worth $36 once they have produced 10 watt hours of electricity. The bicycles will have smart phones attached to the handlebars measuring how much power is being generated for the hotel.The plan, a world-first, will start on 19 April and run for a year. Only guests staying at the hotel will be able to take part. Frederikke Toemmergaard, hotel spokeswoman, said, “M any of our visitors are business people who enjoy going to the gym. There might be people who will cycle just to get a free meal, but generally I don’t think people will take advantage of our programme. ”Copenhagen has a long-standing cycling tradition and 36% of localscycle to work each day, one of the highest percentages in the world, according to the website visitcopenhagen. dk. US environmental website treehugger. com recently voted Copenhagen the world’s best city for cyclists. “Because Copenhagen is strongly connected with cycling, we felt the bicycle would work well as a symbol of the hotel’s green profile (形象). ”If successful, the electric bicycle meal programme will be spread to all Crowne Plaza hotels in the UK, the hotel said in a statement.【文章大意】本文讲述了哥本哈根一家宾馆推出了一项电动自行车免餐计划, 内容是宾馆客人通过骑自行车为宾馆生产一些电就能得到免费的一餐。
