【题目】About three decades ago, China was known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”. But the two-wheeled way of transport’s popularity began to fade, with many bikes soon replaced by their fuel-powered competitors.
But recent months have seen a revival of the bike across China, with an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of driving to schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. The introduction of bike-sharing systems has brought the trend to a new level.
People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones. The bikes are equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They’re popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective solution to the “last mile” problem, which refers to the final leg of a person’s journey.
However, the systems have also led to problems such as illegal parking, damage and theft. Last month, two nurses in Beijing were placed under arest for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes.
“Bike-sharing is a greener method of transportation and provides a user-friendly experience,” said Liu Xiaoming, vice-minister of transport. “ But it’s a combination of online and offline business. Operators are usually strong in online services, but lack offline business experience, which causes problems.”
Now, Chinese service operators are trying to handle these problems. For example, a bike-sharing company called Mobike sets a 100-piont credit score for each user, with points taken in the case of bad behavior. Once a score drops below 80, bike rental is increased to 100 yuan per 30 minutes, up from 0.5-1 yuan.
【1】The underlined word “revival” in paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A. survival B. recovery
C. existence D. popularity
【2】The bike-sharing systems are popular because ________.
A. they are very effective B. they can be picked up anywhere
C. they are equipped with GPS D. they help to solve the “last mile” problem
【3】To solve the problems of illegal parking, damage and theft, operators need to ________.
A. offer stronger online services B. combine online and offline business
C. provide credit score for users D. obtain more offline business experience
【答案】
【1】B
【2】D
【3】D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了近期在中国流行的共享单车受欢迎的原因、所遇到的问题及解决问题的办法。
【1】B
猜测词义题。第一段最后一句popularity began to fade, with many bikes soon replaced by their fuel powered competitors。第二段前两句But recent months have seen a revival…, with an increasing number of people choosing cycling…,看出自行车的受欢迎程度呈现“复苏”的态势。revival“复苏,复活”与recovery同义,故选B.
【2】D
细节推理题。根据第三段They’re popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective solution to the “last mile” problem, which refers to the final leg of a person’s journey.可知共享单车受欢迎是因为它有效地解决了人们最后一英里的问题,故选D.
【3】D
细节推理题。根据第五段Operators are usually strong in online services, but lack offline business experience, which causes problems,可以推断出导致共享单车系统出现问题的原因是lack offline business experience,所以解决这个问题就需要增加线下运营经验。故选D.

【题目】Breathing in polluted air on busy roads is as harmful as passively smoking ten cigarettes a day, new research has found. The drop in pollution had the same effects as avoiding four cigarettes a day. One of the researchers, Saskia van der Zee, explained why they compared the effects of pollution lo passive smoking. “We thought that passive smoking would be easier to understand,” she told The Times. ‘‘You don’t want your neighbors to come into your house and smoke three cigarettes every day.”
Earlier this week, doctors warned that Britain is facing a major health emergency unless diesel(柴油)cars are taken off the roads. Emissions (排放物) from diesel cars arc already contributing to smog which has been linked to the deaths of 40,000 people a year. Health charities, medical leaders and environmental groups have called for a modern Clean Air Act lo bring pollution under control. Separately, more than 300 doctors in the Doctors Against Diesel group have written to Theresa May, calling for a diesel reduction.
Professor John Middleton, president of the UK Faculty of Public Health, said, “Diesel is the primary source of nitrogen dioxide(二氧化氮)in urban areas and is linked to health effects that begin before birth and extend throughout life, from childhood lung development to increased risk of heart disease, stroke and lung cancer. It is high lime lo handle the problem.”
London is already planning to introduce an “emission zone” which diesel drivers would be charged to enter, and other cities are set to follow. But exerts are desperate to find new ways to control the damage done by pollution. Diesel drivers in Westminster have been told they may soon be charged 50 percent extra for on-street parking. And Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London,submitted a 3,500 plan to encourage drivers to switch to petrol or electric cars.
“Cutting diesel emissions would therefore have an immediate effect on children’s personal exposure, and improve their long-term health.” A government spokesman said.
【1】Why did the researchers compare pollution to smoking?
A. It’s easier for people to understand.
B. It’s hard for people to quit smoking.
C. It’s a bad habit to smoke at home.
D. It’s harmful to breathe in polluted air.
【2】How can the major health emergency be solved according to Britain doctors?
A. Give up smoking.
B. Abandon diesel cars.
C. Make strict laws.
D. Schedule yearly exams.
【3】What can we infer from what Professor John Middleton said?
A. Cutting diesel emissions is urgent.
B. Prevention is better than relief.
C. Children are the worst victims.
D. People ignored the harm of diesel.
【4】What is the purpose of the plan put forward by Sadiq Khan?
A. To improve air quality with high technology.
B. To limit the total number of cars on roads.
C. To inspire people to choose greener vehicles.

【题目】How to revise for a test
Studying for tests may be one of the most difficult parts of school. 【1】 If you feel discouraged about an approaching test and need some directions for preparing yourself, consider using the following suggestions to help you out.
Aim foremost to understand the concepts.
Keep the important points in mind, and ignore unnecessary information. 【2】
Ask for help.
When the need arises, it is best to receive help from the others. 【3】 You could also ask him/ her for a set of questions and answers that could help you memorize the information. You could also ask a family member or a friend for help.
Practice in everyday life.
Fit reviewing into everyday life by sticking up notes with sentences you need to remember for the test written upon them. 【4】 You could possibly put one on the bathroom mirror, one at the table and another by the TV. This is optional but highly recommended.
【5】
Find out how much you remember certain things and what’s missing. Decide what you did well in and what you did not so well in. This may boost your chances of getting more marks in the assessment and may also help you remember for next time. For instance, if you are struggling on maths problems based on geometry, then put this down as something that you need to review more than the subjects you are good at.
Review often but little.
Do not push yourself and try reviewing everything in one day. Practice takes time and if you rush, you won’t remember anything.
A. Go through what you have been learning.
B. Mark your practice tests.
C. As long as you remain focused on the main topics, you will be able to do well on the test.
D. However, even the worst test performance could be turned around into a successful attempt.
E. It can be difficult to remember the material and understand which points to study.
F. You will notice them every day and reviewing won’t seem to be boring or dull.
G. Ask your teacher to summarize the topic with all the important points.

【题目】Many people have bought insurance, either life or property (财产), commercial or compulsory. Yet some people know little about it and some even misunderstand its nature and function.
Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to a risk of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the shipowner knows that his ships may be lost at sea; the breadwinner knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire nor every ship is lost at sea. If these persons each put a small amount of money into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer losses. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contribution are known as the insured and those who manage the pool of contributions as insurers.
The legal basis of all insurance is the policy. This is a printed form of contract on a piece of paper in best quality. It states that every year the insured shall pay an amount of which is called the premium; in return, the insurer will pay an amount of money or compensation for losses if the risk or event insured against actually happens.
The premium for insurance naturally depends upon how likely the risk is to happen, as suggested by past experience. If companies fix their premiums too high, there will be more competition in their area of insurance and they may lose business. On the other hand, if they make the premium too low, they will lose money and may even have to drop out of business. So the ordinary forces of supply and demand keep premiums at a level satisfactory to both the insurer and the insured.
【1】The underlined phrase in Para. 2 most probably means __________.
A. money paid by the insurers
B. each premium
C. money paid by all those insured
D. the cost of administering insurance
【2】Insurance premiums do not become too high because __________.
A. not many people insure themselves
B. premiums depend on the risk of losses
C. insurers have to be more competitive
D. insurance companies can never lose money
【3】According to the passage, insurance business gains profit because __________.
A. more and more people buy insurance
B. the firms have sound management
C. the premium is increased year by year
D. only a few of those insured suffer losses
【4】The purpose of the passage is to __________.
A. explain an insurance policy
B. introduce insurance business
C. persuade people to be insured
D. warn people of possible losses
