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

It’s that time of year again. The lead-up(前奏)to everyone’s favorite holiday — Christmas!
Usually Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. On this day all the stores open early and offer the best discounts(折扣)to their customers. Interestingly, people push to buy the cheapest products, just a few hours after giving thanks for the things they have.
Usually televisions and laptops are the most popular products on Black Friday. People are willing to wait for hours for their favorite stores to open because they want very much to get the items they need.
This year I decided to go out and grab a bargain(特价商品)at one of these sales, just to see what it is like. After a delicious Thanksgiving meal, I drove to the mall around half an hour before the stores opened. Already there were people lining up and waiting outside. Some had even prepared themselves with tents and hot chocolate to stay warm in the cold weather. I entered the store, but I wasn’t looking for anything specific. I just walked around the store checking out the prices. I bought some cheap clothes, while other people were loading their shopping carts(手推车)with tons of different items.
Some people come to the Black Friday sales for the products, and others come to enjoy the experience. However, some stores can be a little dangerous during Black Friday. Every year there are always some cases of people fighting over the small number of goods. This year Wal-Mart learned its lesson and made the sales last longer. They made sure customers came for the first hour, got what they wanted and then left quickly.
1.What products sell best on Black Friday?
A. Delicious food. B. Televisions and laptops.
C. Cheap clothes. D. Tents and hot chocolate.
2.The author went to the mall after Thanksgiving to ______.
A. study people’s shopping habits
B. look for some clothes he wanted
C. buy some items for the family
D. experience the shopping season
3.What does the underlined word “loading” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Choosing B. Making C. Filling D. Buying
4. Why does the author say some stores can be dangerous?
A. Because the sales last too long indeed.
B. Because the stores can be over-crowded.
C. Because many people are waiting outside.
D. Because there are fewer products than needed.
5. What is special about Black Friday?
A. It is a wonderful time to do shopping.
B. It is a good time to enjoy the experience.
C. People are in great need of many things.
D. People have just given thanks for what they have.

Noise pollution is doing much harm to our health now. Noise,in fact,is unwanted sound and is a kind of invisible (无形的) killer. More and more students enjoy listening to music very much. When they listen to MP3 players, they like to turn up the volume (音量).Some people love listening to loud music. Furthermore, while watching TV, they keep the volume up. But they haven't realized that the noise is weakening their hearing. In fact, the noise not only influences each member in the family, but also makes a difference to the comfort of neighbors.

So everybody must pay more attention to noise pollution. Generally speaking,the following four types of noise should be watched out for:
◆Noise in the street
