These days shared bikes are becoming the center of attention in my WeChat friend circle. Many of my friends are sharing photos of themselves riding bikes, especially during the weekend in natural parks, and I can see people logging in (登录) and out of shared bike apps.
I’m very happy that there are shared bikes on the road. They have saved us a lot of time during special situations, and on beautiful, clear days, people enjoy riding them outside the city.
I tried shared bikes last week, and I didn’t like them very much. I think the first shared bikes without baskets are designed for athletes. They are very hard to ride, and the seats are not comfortable. It makes me wonder whether people really like riding shared bikes or are just saying this to agree with others.
A friend secretly told me she tried the bikes to fit in. She doesn’t like bikes and finds Beijing’s roads too hard for bike riding. But recently, the only way to hang out with her friends is riding out of town together. To join in social activities, she had to pick up bike riding again.
Another friend admitted that he started talking about and sharing photos on shared bikes in order just to appear modern and fashionable to friends. He started paying attention when shared bikes first came into use.
These views will give me something new to think about when I ride these bikes again.
50. What does the writer himself think of shared bikes?
A. They are very difficult to ride. B. Their seats are comfortable.
C. Athletes like shared bikes. D. They can save us a lot of money.
51. In the passage the underlined word “admitted” may mean .
13
A. told a lie B. told the truth C. kept a promise D. kept a secret
52. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It can save time to use shared bikes at special time.
B. Some people only appear to be interested in shared bikes.
C. The writer likes the bikes without baskets because they are for athletes.
D. Some people like to share photos riding bikes because they want to agree with others.
(C)
One day the King invited me to watch the regular entertainments, which are greatly enjoyed by him，his family，and his lords and ladies. I was most interested in the rope-dancing. A very thin rope is fixed thirty centimetres above the ground. People who want to become the King's most important officials jump and dance on this rope, and whoever jumps highest without falling gets the best job. Sometimes the King orders his lords to dance on the rope, to show that they can still do it. There are occasional（happening sometimes but not often）deaths as a result. It seems a strange way of choosing officials.
There was another interesting entertainment. The King holds a stick in front of him, and sometimes moves it up and down. One by one, people come up to him and jump over the stick or crawl under it. They go on jumping and crawling as the King moves the stick. The winner is the one who jumps and crawls for the longest time, and he receives a blue ribbon to wear round his waist. The second best receives a red ribbon, and the third best gets a green one. Many of the Lilliput lords wear their ribbons proudly at all times. I had certainly never seen entertainment like this in any of the countries I had visited before. ------ Gulliver in Lilliput
53. What do you think of the sport rope-dancing?
A. interesting B. funny C. dangerous D. exciting
54. What can we infer according to the passage?
A. Gulliver is very interested the regular entertainment.
B. In fact, Rope-dancing is a strange way of choosing officials.
C. Gulliver had certainly seen entertainments like this in any countries he had visited before.
D. All of the Lilliput lords wear their ribbons proudly at all times.
55. What’s the best title of this chapter(章节)?

C. Strange ways of choosing officials. D. Entertainments in Lilliput.
