24、Cycling isn’t always easy. Busy streets and few bike lanes and parking areas can make it a battle. But not even these difficulties can stop Europeans’ love for cycling. According to Reuters, more bicycles have been sold than cars in 26 of the European Union’s 28 states this year.

In some European countries, people really love bicycles. “People ride to work and take their bikes to the grocery store”, Bill Strickland, editor of Bicycling magazine, told the reporter from Reuters.

So what has led to cycling’s growing popularity in Europe? Cycling is “a safe, clean, healthy, inexpensive way to get around town,” the Daily Star concluded. “It not only reduces traffic problems and pollution, but also contributes to public health.”

Bike-friendly rules have also been made. Dozens of cities have joined a European Union initiative（倡议）to make bicycles a form of city transport, like cars. Quite a few cities such as Stockholm, London, Florence and Munich now offer special bike lanes. Copenhagen takes it a step further by keeping bicycles and cars separated as much as possible. On these routes, traffic lights are designed to the rhythms of bicycles, not cars. For people living far from city centers, getting to work by bicycle alone may take too much time. That’s why many European countries now allow cyclists to bring their bicycles onto subway trains. Europeans are also creative in solving parking problems. Amsterdam has come up with a high-tech solution: you lock your bike to a rack（机架）, which then goes underground. When you want your bike back, it is brought back to the surface.

【1】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. European people love bicycles.

B. More bicycles are sold in Europe.

C. Bicycles need their own ways.

D. New rules are made for cyclists.

【2】 The underlined word “route” in Paragraph 8 most probably means _____ in Chinese.

A. 停车场   B. 方法   C. 政策   D. 线路

【3】 According to the passage, the following cities offer special bike lanes EXCEPT______.

A. Copenhagen   B. Amsterdam

C. London   D. Stockholm

【4】Why do people enjoy cycling in Europe?

A. Bicycles can be brought onto subway trains.

B. People can park their bicycles wherever you like.

C. Bicycles can be locked to a rack underground.

D. Cycling is a good way to get around town.

【5】The writing style of the passage is a(n) _____.

A. tour guide   B. news report

C. interview   D. story

25、Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound’s the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep.

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

【1】This is most probably __________.

A．a play

B．a poem

C．a story

D．a notice

【2】What season does it describe?

A．Spring.

B．Summer.

A．Snow.

B．Near.

C．Lake.

D．Deep.

26、While many women are busy with planning their bridal showers (新娘送礼会), a baby shower usually comes as a complete surprise. A baby shower is a party where a pregnant (怀孕的) woman is “showered” with gifts and good wishes. A baby shower is usually given by a close female friend or a relative of the mother-to-be. Sometimes co-workers of a pregnant person will also hold a baby shower for her.

  The baby shower is usually given when the mother-to-be is between 6 and 9 months pregnant. Predicting the date of a baby’s birth isn’t always exact. Sometimes a baby shower can also happen after the baby is born. A baby shower can be held in someone’s home or outside, like in a restaurant or a catering hall. Traditionally only women are invited to a baby shower. However, more and more baby showers are also including the father-to-be.

  Like a bridal shower, a mother-to-be will register (登记) a wish list of things she wants at one or several stores. This list usually includes things the mother wants for her baby like clothes, diapers and even furniture. This way friends and family members can go to the stores and buy something from the list. Registering helps make sure that there aren’t repeat items, like 30 bottles when a new mom only needed 15.

  At a baby shower, people can give cards with wishes for the new baby and mom. Most of these cards also include money or gift cards to help the mom-to-be buy whatever else she needs for the baby. Sometimes there are games as well. In one game everyone guesses the date of the baby. Another game lets people taste baby food and guess the flavor.

【1】Who was only invited to a baby shower traditionally?

A. Men.   B. Children.   C. Women.   D. Pregnant women.

【2】Why does a mother-to-be register a wish list of things?

A. To prevent others from buying the repeat items.

B. To remind herself to buy some items for the party.

C. To remember to buy the necessary things for her friends.

D. To invite friends or family members to the baby shower.

【3】What can friends and family members do at a baby shower?

A. Play games.   B. Get some money and gifts.

C. Feed the baby.   D. Register a wish list of things.

【4】According to the passage, we know that ______.

A. the baby shower only happens at home

B. the baby shower never takes place after the baby is born

C. people have baby showers instead of bridal showers now

D. people hold the baby shower to send wishes to the mother-to-be

27、   China has built more than 90,000 bridges and broken many world records since 2013. And it is now running ahead of the US, Europe and Japan in the construction(建筑) of long bridges.

China has taken 8 seats of the world's top 10 highest bridges. Beipanjiang Bridge was completed in 2016. It holds the record for the highest bridge in the world. This bridge crosses a canyon between Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. How high is it? It sits over 565 metres above the river which is as high as a 200-floor building！

As for the longest cross-sea bridge, China has kept breaking this world record, too. The country now has 6 of the world’s longest cross-sea bridges. Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is the world’s longest cross-sea bridge. It takes eight years(from 2009 to 2017) to complete this bridge. The 55-kilometre-long bridge aims to connect the three major cities on China’s Pearl River Delta, into a one-hour-drive economy circle.

China also surprises the world with amazing bridge design. Have you heard about Zhangjiajie Glass Footbridge? It is built over a 300-metre-deep canyon in the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan Province. The bridge has been open to the public since September 2016. This amazing bridge is now the highest glass-bottomed bridge in the world, which gives tourists an excited feeling of walking in the air.
