21、 A concern raised by some motorists is that, on urban roads without bicycle lanes, cyclists will slow down motorized vehicles and therefore create congestion(拥堵). Researchers evaluated speeds on six roads in Portland at different times of day, including peak traffic hours. They did a detailed comparative analysis of the travel speeds of passenger cars on lower volume urban roads without bicycle lanes, and found that a 1 mph differential in speed caused by the presence of a cyclist would not cause congestion.
The study also found that cyclists riding on a downhill road, and therefore traveling faster, were less likely to be overtaken by motorists. In a Forbes article on the research. "Cyclists Don't Cause Congestion: ‘Must Get In Front’ Maneuvers By Motorists Pointless," Figliozzi agreed that this has possible suggestions for e-bike riders, who can often travel at faster average speeds than cyclists on standard bicycles. "Those on e-bikes are not as affected by uphills, and have better travel performance regarding speed and acceleration. In a low volume and low-speed street, motorists are less likely to overtake e-bikes because the speed differential is smaller or maybe zero,” Figliozzi told Forbes.
"The hope is that our study discourages policymakers from throwing out shared roadways as a practical option because of the viewpoint that bicyclists will slow down the mobility and speed of drivers," Schaefer, another researcher shared. "While the preference is to separate modes through separated, protected bike lanes — that's not always possible in every urban setting. ‘Bike boulevards’, or ‘Neighborhood greenways’ as we call them here in Portland, are great alternatives on low-volume, low-speed roads to build out a safe, well-connected bicycle network.”
Due to limitations regarding similarities among some site characteristics, this study is currently being expanded to include a large number of sites displaying a more diverse range of functional classifications, roadway markings, speed limits, roadway grades, and traffic volumes and compositions. Additionally, the new study will explore how oncoming traffic speed and volume may affect opportunities for overtaking bicycles, and the underlying connection to passenger car speeds on roads without bicycle lanes.
【1】What did the research find according to paragraph 1?
A.Urban roads lacked bicycle lanes.
B.Urban roads had more speeding vehicles.
C.Bicycles didn't cause traffic jam on lower volume urban roads.
D.The presence of a cyclist accidentally slowed vehicles in Portland.
【2】What does Figliozzi say about e-bike riders?
A.They are always overtaken by motorists.
B.They often ignore the road rules while traveling.
C.They need to control their speed on an uphill road.
D.They go almost as fast as motorists on the low-speed street.
【3】Where can the alternative bicycle lanes be a choice in Portland?
A.In one-way streets
B.In high-speed streets.
C.On roads with light traffic.
D.On uphill and downhill roads.
【4】Which can best explain the underlined word "underlying" in the last paragraph?
A.Potential.
B.Unusual.
C.Obvious.
D.Demanding.

23、 It was the beginning of 2011. I had just finished filming the first season of Game of Thrones(《权利的游戏》). With almost no professional experience, I had been given the role of Daenerys Targaryen. The show was so successful that young girls would dress themselves up as Daenerys for Halloween.
And yet, terrified of the attention, terrified of trying to make good on the faith that the creators had put in me, I worked much harder.
On the morning of February 11, 2011, I was getting dressed in a gym when I started to feel a bad headache. I was so exhausted that I could barely put on my sneakers. I tried to ignore the pain, but I couldn’t. I reached the toilet and sank to my knees. A woman came to help me. Then everything became unclear. I only remember the sound of an ambulance.
That operation lasted three hours. When I woke, the pain was unbearable. After four days, they moved me out of the I.C.U. (重症监护室). But one day when a nurse asked me, as part of a series of cognitive (认知的) exercises, “ What’s your name?”, I couldn’t remember my name and I felt terrified: I am an actor; I need to remember my lines. Now, I couldn’t recall my name.
The phenomenon is called aphasia. Then I was sent back to the I.C.U. and, after about a week, I was able to speak and know my name. And I was also aware that there were people in the beds around me who didn’t make it out of the I.C.U. I was continually reminded of just how fortunate I was.
I rarely gave a thought to my health. Nearly all I thought about was acting. I thought of myself as healthy. Once in a while, I would get dizzy. When I was fourteen, I had a migraine (偏头痛) that kept me in bed for a couple of days. But it all seemed manageable — part of the stress of being an actor. Now I think I might have been experiencing warning signs of what was to come.
Anyway, there is something pleasant about coming to the end of Thrones. And I’m so happy to be here to see the beginning of whatever comes next.
【1】The author felt terrified after acting in the first season of Game of Thrones because _____.

【2】When did the author lose consciousness?
A.After she took an operation.
B.After a woman came to her rescue in a gym.
C.When trying to ignore a headache while working out.
D.When knowing many patients wouldn’t survive the illness.
【3】A patient who is suffering from aphasia ______.
A.cannot move his or her body
B.will fall into serious depression
C.must undergo brain surgery at once
D.is not able to remember things from the past

24、The temperature of the sun is over 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface, but it rises to perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center. The sun is so much hotter than the earth that matter can exist only as a gas, except at the core(核心). In the core of the sun, the pressures are so great against the gases that, despite the high temperature, there may be a small solid core. However, no one really knows, since the center of the sun can never be directly observed.
Solar astronomers do know that the sun is divided into five layers or zones. Starting at the outside and going down into the sun, the zones are the corona, chromosphere, photosphere, convection zone and finally the core. The first three zones are regarded as the sun’s atmosphere. But since the sun has no solid surface, it is hard to tell where the atmosphere ends and the main body of the sun begins.
The sun’s outermost layer begins about 10,000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for millions of miles. This is the only part of the sun that can be seen during an eclipse (日食) such as the one in February 1979. At any other time, the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to shut out the glare(刺眼的强光)of the sun’s rays.
The corona is a brilliant, pearly white, filmy light, about as bright as the full moon. Its beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipse. The corona’s rays flash out in a brilliant fan that has wispy spikelike (一束束穗状) rays near the sun’s north and south poles. The corona is thickest at the sun’s equator.
The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at tremendous speeds and reaching a temperature of more than 2 million degrees Fahrenheit. The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets. By the time the sun’s corona rays reach the earth, they are weak and invisible.
【1】Matter on the sun can exist only in the form of gas because of the sun’s ______.
A. size B. age
C. location D. temperature
【2】With what topic is the second paragraph mainly concerned?
A. How the sun evolved.
B. The structure of the sun.
C. Why scientists study the sun.
D. The distance of the sun from the planets.
【3】All of the following are parts of the sun’ s atmosphere EXCEPT the _______.
A. corona B. chromosphere
C. photosphere D. core
【4】The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses which of the following?
A. The remaining layers of the sun.
B. The evolution of the sun to its present form.
C. The eclipse of February 1979.
D. Scientists will cost more money on researching the corona.
