阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
It’s no surprise that city bike sharing programs have exploded in popularity the last decade. Accessibility and affordability have helped to promote the concept of a short-term bike rental system as a win-win for just about anyone who is willing to give up the use of a car and turn to a bike. Commuters(通勤者)can leave the stress of blocked downtown traffic at the car park. Tourists can enjoy walking without having trouble with more bus transfers, taxi fares and sore feet. And Mother Nature gets the benefit of a little bit less smog after a weekday to and from work.
But what is in it for the city? What is it that is promoting cities all across the globe to adopt bike sharing programs as a reliable way to strengthen its transportation systems between cities?
To answer those questions, we looked at Seattle, the Northwest US’s largest city and the most recent to adopt bike sharing. Seattle, which has obtained many
acknowledgements over the years for its efforts to support sustainability, has a reputation for promoting advanced transportation options. Its local bus system, rail and private car sharing systems net almost seamlessly(无缝地)with inside-city services, making it about as painless as possible for commuters to leave their cars at home. Attractively redesigned waterfront areas, good guide signs and streamlined traffic control keep traffic jams to a minimum.
“We do encourage a variety of options for movability for transportation for getting around the city,” Tom Rasmussen said, who serves on the Seattle City Council and as the chair to the city’s transportation committee. He said it not only makes getting around a large city like Seattle more convenient, but it’s good exercise for those who use the program.
21. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. People in cities like to drive their cars to work.
B. People like to use sharing bikes in the cities nowadays.
C. Sharing bikes are difficult to promote in big cities.
D. Not all people in the cities accept sharing bikes.
22. Why does the author take Seattle for example?
A. It’s a very large city with busy traffic.
B. Bike sharing causes more trouble in Seattle.
C. Bike sharing has strengthened its transportation system.
D. Traffic measures will be changed much there.
23. What does “the program” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The downtown traffic. B. The private car sharing.
C. The guiding system. D. The bike sharing.
24. What could be the best title for the text?
A. The benefits of bike sharing programs B. Bike sharing programs in Seattle
C. The traffic problems in big cities D. Supporting or opposing bike sharing
B
When people have been through a negative experience, they tend to use the word
“you” rather than “I” when talking about it, researchers have found. The study, by researchers based at the University of Michigan, conducted nine experiments with nearly 2,500 to understand the meaning behind the use of the word “you” in the context of speaking about and sharing insight on their own experiences.
“It’s something we all do as a way to explain how things work and to find meaning in our lives,” said Ariana Orvell, a researcher in the Department of Psychology. “When people use ‘you’ to make meaning from negative experiences, it allows them to normalize the experience and reflect on it from a distance,” she said.
For example, when people use the phrase “you win some, you lose some”, it indicates that a person has failed in a situation, but by using the word “you”, they’re expressing that the experience they went through could happen to anyone, said Ms Orvell. “Or saying that ‘when you are angry, you say and do things that you will most likely regret’ might actually explain a personal situation, but the individual attempts to make it something many people relate to,”
Ms Orvell said.
In one of the experiments, the researchers asked participants to write about a personal experience. They had to write something from a negative event. They used the word “you” many times. The research also found that using the word “you” led people to view the event as being more distant. “We suspect that it’s the ability to move beyond your own perspective(视角)to express shared, universal experiences that allows individuals to get broader meanings from personal events,” Orvell said.
25. What is the purpose of researchers’ conducting nine experiments?
A. To study students’ language in the University of Michigan.
B. To know the reason behind when people use “you”.
C. To let people share their personal insight.
D. To learn the real meaning behind the experiences.
26. People like to use “you” when talking about a negative experience probably because ______.
A. they do not really care about what they are speaking about
B. they would like the others to have the same experience
C. they know the negative experience can make them strong
D. they will think the bad experience is normal seen from a distance
27. What might people say if they didn’t succeed as expected according to the text?
A. When angry, you say and do things you’ll regret.
B. You win some, you lose some.
C. We can find meaning in our lives.
D. It’s something we all deserve.
28. How can people get broader meaning beyond their own view?
A Observing an event from a father place. B Acquiring more to explain their situation.
C. Studying a very strange experience. D. Going through what could happen to anyone.

Members of the Regional Image Team,
Good news! All cost estimates(费用估价)for image products (aerial photography and elevation contours) that are purchased on a regional basis from The Image Center will only be available via the Internet. No more waiting on me to provide a cost estimate.
In a few months you will be asked to complete a survey regarding the features you wish to purchase. Based on the results of the survey, The Image Center will determine if there will be enough funding to pursue the products at a regional level, and the final pricing for each product will also be confirmed. The final pricing won’t be more than the amount provided in the cost estimate letter, but may be less if enough funding is secured.
Please contact me if you have any questions. We thank you for your continued participation
and we look forward to working with you in the future.

Dear Mr Camp,
I received your letter regarding providing cost estimates for our use of imaging data. Following your instructions (which worked well, thank you), I was able to find the cost estimate letter for Ypsilanti Refuse Service.
Over the course of the last 6 months, we have had an interlocal agreement with the Ypsilanti Department of Transportation, enabling us to access their aerial photography. Your aerial photography has a resolution(分辨率)of 1 inch, while the Ypsilanti DOT’s is right at 6 inches.
While 1 inch resolution wouldn’t hurt, the price is nearly 10 times the price we are being offered by the Ypsilanti DOT. Furthermore, we have never had need of your elevation contours. Therefore, we no longer have need for data from The Image Center.
We would like to remain on your mailing list however. We find your list to be the best source of information on upcoming meetings, trainings and conferences concerning image products.
|Sincerely,
|Michael Cannon
Lead Spatial Analyst

The neighborhood an adolescent lives in may influence his or her development of obesity, new study findings suggest. Specifically, investigators found that adolescents from close-knit(紧密的)neighborhoods were less likely to be obese.
Close-knit neighborhoods exhibited strong collective effect-neighbors get along and are willing to help each other, and many adults are role models for adolescents.
“There is an obesity trend in this country and treatment has focused on diet and exercise with relatively little success,” study author Dr Deborah A. Cohen, a senior natural scientist at the Santa Monica, California-based RAND Corporation, said in a company statement.
The current findings imply that it may be necessary to “look at the neighborhood environment as potentially very
important in controlling the obesity trend”, she said.
“The social environment that a child lives in is very strongly associated with how active they are, what they eat and how much they eat,” she said.
Previous studies show that a neighborhood's level of collective effect is
predictive of crime, premature death, death from cardiovascular(心血管的)disease and other health outcomes. In a survey of 684 households in 65 Los Angeles County neighborhoods, Cohen and her team investigated whether collective effect may also indirectly affect obesity. The study included 807 adolescents and 3,000 adults.
Cohen’s group found that adolescents who lived in close-knit neighborhoods were also less likely to be overweight or at risk of being overweight and had a lower body weight index than did their peers in other neighborhoods.
The reason for the association is unknown, but Cohen supposed that children in neighborhoods with high collective effect may be more likely to play outside rather than sit inside and watch television. Or, she said, “maybe their neighborhoods look different”, with more parks and fewer fast food restaurants.
Based on the findings, “we need to start looking at our environments,” she said, and asked: “Are there places for kids to play? Billboard advertisements for fast foods?” Mentioning the potential for neighborhood groups to create a sports league or get a park for children to play in, she said, “Together people can change their environment and make it healthy.”
32. What does the author want to convey in Paragraph 1?
A. A person in adolescence is likely to be obese.
B. Obesity is dangerous to adolescents’ health.
C. People have great concern about adolescents’ obesity.
D. Close-knit neighborhood may help prevent adolescents’ obesity.
33. The survey done in Los Angeles by Cohen and her partners is to ______.
A. show a neighborhood’s levels of collective effect greatly affect its crime rate
B. study whether collective effect has indirect effects on obesity
C. prove collective effect has greater effects on adults’ obesity than on adolescents’
D. tell people the importance of the levels of collective effect in a neighborhood
34. Which of the following statements agrees with the result of the survey done by Cohen’s group?
A. The less premature death happens in a neighborhood, the higher level of collective effect it has.
B. The higher level of collective effect a neighborhood has, the lower body weight index its adolescents have.
C. Children living in neighborhoods with higher levels of collective effect watch TV more.
D. Adults are more likely to live inside neighborhoods with high levels of collective effect than adolescents.
35. What does the last paragraph tell us?
A. People should change their environment to make it healthy for children.
B. Advertisements occupy the places for children to play.
C. The clean environment is the basis for building sports leagues for children.
D. More efforts should be made to encourage adolescents to communicate with each other.

One possible version:
Dear Sharon,
I’m writing to tell you about the plan for your next lesson on Chinese traditional culture.
We’ll still meet at my home at nine next Sunday morning. I’d like to introduce to you one of the greatest figures in Chinese history—Confucius. The lesson will cover the life of Confucius and his contributions to Chinese traditional culture. I believe you will be interested. If possible, you’d better make some preparations for the lesson, and I suggest you learn about famous works written by Confucius, which will certainly help with your next lesson.
Looking forward to meeting you next Sunday.
Yours,
Li Hua
