【题目】 Do you know that more than half of the people living in Copenhagen(哥本哈根), the Danish capital, ride a bike to school or work every day? The city has set a goal(目标)to become the world's first carbon neutral(碳中立) capital by2025.

Cycling(骑行)is actually a faster and more time-saving way to travel in Copenhagen.That's why you'll find more bikes than people and more than 5 times as many bikes than cars in this city!

Copenhagen is a cycling paradise(天堂). The city has done its best to encourage people to ride bikes-it has built more than 1,000 km of cycling roads. The city planners have made plans to help park bikes and repair bikes for free--wow!

Copenhagen's cyclists hardly break traffic rules. Several of the city's main streets are only used for bike lanes(车道). Bike lanes along major roads are wide. Copenhagen is building 38 highways along the main city roads. The city's subways also allow cyclists to bring their bikes in the train, free of cost

The city planners are working hard to make cyclists feel safe So when cyclists get closer to a main crossing, sensors(传感器)down the streets ‘tell’ the traffic lights to give them a ‘green’ light,which means cyclists don' t have to worry about the heavy traffic. Isn't that cool? One smooth journey from home to school! Even in the cold winters, the workers clean snow on the cycling lanes before car lanes.

Lately, however, the city is facing a new problem-there are not enough parking lots for cyclists. Some people now start leaving their bikes just about anywhere. Perhaps the best way is to make more space for bikes or build underground parking lots.

At the same time, other big cities are following Copenhagen's example, such as London, Paris,New York, Beijing and San Francisco They are all taking actions to encourage cyclists.

1What goal does Copenhagen hope to reach by 2025?

A.To build more and wider roads for cyclists.

B.To set a good example for other cities to follow.

C.To encourage more people to go to work by bike..

D.To become the world’s first carbon neutral capital.

2Much more people in Copenhagen ride bikes than driving because_______.

A.the traffic is too heavyB.it's faster and saves more time

C.there are more bike lanesD.the city doesn't allow driving

3What problem is the city facing now?

A.Other cities are following its example.B.Some cyclists often break traffic rules.

C.There isn't enough space for bike parking.D.Car drivers are not pleased with cyclists.

【题目】阅读理解
“Beauty is only skin deep.” This expression means that beauty is only a temporary and surface(暂时而表面的) quality. And some beauty products can cause lasting harm that goes far below the surface of the skin. But people, especially women, will take a lot of risks for beauty.
In the United States, many people use sunlight and non-natural light to darken their skin. Health experts are against it, because it may lead to skin cancer.
In the African country of Senegal, some women take health risks trying to do just the opposite. They use products that lighten the skin. The World Health Organization says that 25 percent of Senegalese women use skin-lightening products. These products can have some chemicals such as mercury, hydroquinone and sodium hydroxide (汞、对苯二酚和氢氧化钠). These are dangerous ingredients (成份) that can cause cancer and possibly other physical harm to the skin. They can even burn the eyes and skin.
Women in Senegal say they lighten their skin for the same reasons: women all over the world make changes to their looks. They say they want to look beautiful, to find a husband, or to stand out in a crowd. But some products are so strong. THEY must be mixed with others before they are used.
A woman filmmaker Khardiata Sall from Senegal made a movie “This Color That Worries Me”. It's about the subject of skin lightening. “I used the most scary pictures so that women would clearly see the dangers. It is hard to understand why a woman would tell herself that dark skin is not beautiful. It is in their heads. They want to please a man, to be loved. Or they want to please the society, to succeed.” Ms. Sall says the government needs to better control the market and the sale of skin lightening products. But she adds education is the best way to tell people against using them.
(1)According to the passage, Khardiata Sall ___________.
A.is a white woman
B.works as an actor
C.is against skin-lightening
D.wants to be white
(2)The word “THEY” in the fourth paragraph means ____________.
A.mercury, hydroquinone and sodium hydroxide
B.women in Senegal
C.all skin-lightening products
D.some strong skin-lightening products
(3)According to the passage, if you are a women in Senegal, you may go out of your way to change your skin color because ___________.
A.you want to please your parents
B.you want to make changes to your hobbies
C.you want to look better than men
D.you want to find a good job
(4)If you put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?( ①=Para. (自然段)1 ②=Para. 2 ③=Para.3 ④=Para.4 ⑤=Para.5 )
A.①;②;③④⑤
B.①;②③;④⑤
C.①②;③;④⑤
D.①②③;④;⑤
