China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Cars were fare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year,I've found there are millions of cars. However,bicycles are still popular nowadays.People still use their bicycles to get around.For many,it's the most convenient and cheapest way to travel today.
It's rush quickly through crossroads,move skillfully through traffic,and ride even on sidewalks（人行道）. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about,which cars just can't provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture,I decided to buy a bicycle.Immediately I got my new bike I jumped up on the seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly（守秩序的）.To be safe, I stayed with a "pack" of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn't want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide,so crossing took time,skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.

Nowadays, especially in China, everything seems to favor social intercourse, such as gatherings of friends, KTV, group travel, dining tighter, playing cards and Mahjong, plus the Chinese-style “street-crossing group.” Back home, discussions can still be boisterously carried on within the “circle of friends” of WeChat.
However, these scenes cannot always ease a sense of loneliness. Zhu Ziqing, a well-known professor of Tsinghua University, signed with emotion: “My loneliness increases as scene becomes much busier.” One popular song today is also called “A lonely man in crowds.” Actually, engaging in social intercourse requires ability, while being alone involves the whole character.
These days, it is not easy to calm down totally and return to one’s true self. Willpower, intellect and discipline are required. Einstein said: “It is not your working time but your spare time that determines the possibility of whether you will be successful or not.” The “spare time” he referred to could be taken as “spending time by yourself.”
Lonely life could be either dull, boring and tasteless or abundant, interesting and colorful, depending on one’s quality, ambition and inspiration.
Just as the body constantly requires energy, the mind and soul also demand unceasing inputs. However, information, to processed and integrated(融入)into knowledge, thoughts and feelings, instead of bustle(忙碌)seems to be the right condition. Successful careers in all walks of life worldwide have proved that “the soul grows in peace and talent is nurtured in loneliness”. In a sense, it may be reasonable to say that “Happiness tends to be shallow while loneliness involves profundity”.
Man, in fact, needs loneliness more than happy time, and only abundant loneliness can produce quality happiness.
1.Which of the following can replace the underlined the word “boisterously” in paragraph 1?
A. surprisingly
B. sadly
C. busily
D. peacefully
2.What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A. Being alone marks people depressed.
B. Social intercourse improves our happiness.
C. One may feel lonely even when surrounded by people
D. We should attend social intercourse to decrease our loneliness.
3.What can we know from Einstein’s words?
A. You should be successful if you spend all your time by yourself.
B. You should exercise more if you want to keep your minds healthy.
C. You will not become successful if you join in more social intercourse.
D. You will be more successful if you can make your lonely time meaningful.
4.Which may be the best title for this passage?
A. Live On Your Own
B. Happiness and Loneliness
C. The secret of success
D. Practice Your Social Ability

科目：高中英语 来源：江苏省盐城市阜宁县2016-2017学年高一下学期期中考试英语试卷 题型：阅读理解
In 1929, a peasant in Sichuan Province uncovered jade (玉器) and stone artifacts(手工艺品) while repairing a ditch(沟渠) located about 24 miles from Chengdu. But their significance wasn’t understood until 1986, when archaeologists unearthed two pits(大坑) of Bronze Age treasures. The discovery suggests an impressive technicality(手工技艺), said Peter Keller, a geologist and president of the Bowers Museum in California, which is currently hosting an exhibit of some of these treasures.
The treasures came from a lost civilization, now known as the Sanxingdui, a city on the banks of the Minjiang River.
“It’s a big mystery,” said Keller, who is not involved in the current study.
“Archaeologists now believe that the culture disappeared sometime between 3,000 and 2,800 years ago,” Niannian fan, a river science researcher at Tsinghua University in Chengdu, China, said.
“The current explanations for why it disappeared are war and flood, but both are not very convincing,” Fan told Live Science.
But about 14 years ago, archaeologists found the remains of another ancient city called Jinsha near Chengdu. The Jinsha site, though it contained none of the bronzes of Sanxingdui, did have a gold crown covered with fish, arrows and birds similar to golden objects found at Sanxingdui. That has led some scholars to believe that the people from Sanxingdui may have relocated to Jinsha.
Fan wondered whether an earthquake may have caused landslides that dammed the river high up in the mountains and rerouted it to Jinsha. That catastrophe may have reduced Sanxingdui’s water supply, spurring its people to move.
And some historical records support their assumptions. In 1099 B.C., ancient writers recorded an earthquake in the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, in Shanxi Province, Fan said. Though that spot is roughly 250 miles from the historic site of Sanxingdui, the latter culture didn’t have writing at the time. So it’s possible the earthquake epicenter(震中) was actually close to Sanxingdui－but it just wasn’t recorded there.
Around the same time, geological sediment(沉积物) suggest massive flooding occurred, and the later-han Dynasty document The Chronicles of the Kings of Shu records ancient floods pouring from a mountain in a spot that suggests the flow being rerouted, Fan said.
Together, the findings hint that major earthquake triggered a landslide that dammed the river, rerouting its flow and reducing water flow to Sanxingdui, Fan said.
1.In the first paragraph, the author wants to _____.
A. introduce the topic of a lost civilization
B. tel us how beautiful the jade and stone artifacts look
C. remind us to pay attention to the earthquake
D. inform us we can easily find treasures in a ditch
2.According to the passage, the following statements are true EXCEPT that ______.
A. Bowers Museum is exhibiting some of Bronze Age treasures
B. Peter Keller is the lead researcher on the study of Sanxingdui
C. some scholars think that the people from Sanxingdui may have moved to Jinsha
D. some findings support the idea that an earthquake caused a landslide, which dammed the river, rerouting its flow and reducing water flow to Sanxingdui
3.Which of the following is the most probable explanation of mystery of the disappearance of Sanxingdui’s civilization?
A. War. B. Flood.
C. Earthquake. D. Hurricane.
4.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “spurring” in the seventh paragraph?
A. Forcing. B. Allowing.
C. Supporting. D. Favoring.
5.What type of writing is this passage?
A. Science fiction. B. An official document.
C. A newspaper report. D. A research report.
