Some people think they have an answer to the troubles of automobile crowding and dirty
air in large cities．Their answer is the bicycle，or“bike”．
In a great many cities，hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day．In New
York City，some bike riders have even formed fl group called Bike for a Better City．They
claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in
the downtownsection of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines．
For several years this group has been trying tO get the city government tO help bike
riders．For example，they want the city tO draw bicycle lanes on some of the main
streets，because when bike riders have tO use the same lanes as cars，there are

accidents．Bike for aBetter City feels that if there were special lanes more people
would use bikes．
But no bicycle lanes have been drawn．Not everyone thinks it is a good idea-- they
say itwill slow traffic．Some store owners on the main streets say that if there is
less traffic，theywill have less business．And most people live tOO far from downtown
tO travel by bike．
The city government has not yet decided what tO d0．It wants to keep everyone happy．
Only on weekends，Central Park is closed to cars，and the roads may be used by bicycles
only．But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to
get bicyclelanes downtown．
26．According tO the passage，bicycles
A．are more convenient than cars
B．are safer traffic tools than cars
C．are ridden by most people in the U．S
D．are the solution to some city problems
27．The idea of special bicycle lanes is most favored by

B．some bike riders
C．people living far from downtown D．some store owners
28．“Bicyrcle lanes’’in the third paragraph probably means
A．narrow passages between buildings for bicycles
B．roads full of bicycles
C．special parts of the road for bicycle riders only
D．roads forbicycles only
29．Whieh of the following is not true according to the passage?
A．Bike for a Better City members ride bicycles to work．
B．Sometimes accidents may occur when cars and bikes are on the same lanes．
C．The Central Park iS closed to cars on weekends．
D．In New York City，many people use bikes as they have special lanes．

Who will stage the games?
Preparing for the Olympics Games is a huge undertaking．J ust like the athletes，
the host city spends years getting ready for the event．Before deciding which city
will host theOlympic Games，the International Olympic Committee(IOC)has to examine
bids from allover the world．Bidding for the games begins about ten years in
advance．Without preparinga very strong bid，a city will not win the competition to
host the games．Beijing was chosenfor the 20089ames from five bidders——0saka，
Paris，Toronto and Istanbul．
Why does it take SO long to prepare?
Building the infrastructure costs huge amounts of money．Holding the World Cup in
2002 in Japan and South Korea，for example，meant that ten new stadiums had to be
built，as well as many hotels and an improved transport system．In Beij in9，after
winning the bid the government began major construction projects--the extension of
the underground，the improvement of the airport and the building of new motorways．Each
host city must also build an Olympic village for the athletes．By planting trees and
creating parks，the city becomes more attractive for tourists．
Why do countries want to host the Olympic Games?
Hosting the games has a major effect on the economy and brings international prestige
to the country．Thousands and thousands of visitors come tO the games and the host
cities are permanently improved．
31．Bidding for the Olympic Games usually starts————————before the games are
really held．
A．tWO years B．eight years ．C．one year D．ten years
32．Beijing was one of the——bidders for the 20089ames．
A．four B．five
C．ten D．three
33．The World Cup 2002 was held in ．
A．Japan B．South KoreaC．China D．A and B
34．What construction projects did Beijing start after winning the bid?
A．The extension of the underground．B．The improvement of the airport．
C．The building of new motorways．D．AIl of the above．

35．Why do countries want to host the Olympic Games?
A．Because it has a major effect on the economy．
B．Because it brings international prestige to the country．C．Because the host
cities are permanently improved．
D．All of the above．

People who cannot tell all colors apart are said to be color blind．Most color—blind
peoplecan see yellow and blues，but confuse reds with greens．It is very rare for
a person to beblind to all colors，but they may see everything in shades of black，
white，and gray．
It is interesting to note that many color—blind people don’t even realize that they
arecolor—blind．They don’t know that the colors they are seeing and naming are not
the actualcolors that people with normal vison can see．This can be particularly
dangerous when a color—blind person confuses the red and green of a traffic light．
Color blindness is thought tO be inherited(遗传)．And although doctors have thought
up tests to determine(测定)color blindness，there is no cure to treatment for it．
36．A color—blind person can tell red and green apart correctly．
37．Many color-blind people are unware(没意识到)that they are color—blind．
38．It’S especially dangerous for a dolor—blind person to cross a street when there
are no traffic lights at the cross of the streets．
39．A color—blind person is not allowed to drive．
40．Up to now，doctors have found a way to free a person from his color blindness．
