Bicycles are very popular in China. In our country you can see bicycles almost everywhere. When you walk on the road, you will find a lot of people riding bicycles to schools, shops and anywhere else. Therefore, China is known as “the kingdom of bicycles”. In China, many families have one or two bicycles.

Compared with cars, bicycles have many advantages. First, they are much cheaper than cars. Most Chinese can’t afford cars, but they can afford bicycles. Second, bicycles are small enough to park anywhere, while cars need a larger piece of land to park. What’s more, with lower speed, bicycles are safer than cars.

However, bicycles also bring some problems. Some riders don’t obey the traffic rules and some riders don’t think about others safety. So they ride too fast. During the rush hour, too many bicycles may cause traffic accidents. We still have a long way to solve the problem.

1. Where can you see bicycles in China?

2.“The kingdom of bicycles” here is saying________.

3. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of bicycles

4. What does the last sentence mean?

Jianbing guozi（煎饼果子）has long been one of the most popular street snacks in China – many people enjoy eating it for breakfast with a cup of warm soy milk. But according to a new set of standards, we may not have been eating “real” jianbing guozi at all.

On May 26, the Tianjin Catering Industry Association introduced a set of standards that say how jianbing guozi should be made. Tianjin is believed to be the birthplace of the snack.

The new standards say that the snack should be made with mung bean flour, eggs and scallions (葱). And it should be between 38 and 45 centimeters in diameter. They also state that its packaging should show the snack’s expiry date (有效期) and the name, address and phone number of its maker.

Jianbing guozi is a traditional food that’s sold all over China, and it’s even started to become popular in other countries. However, the way the snack is prepared in different regions varies. While traditional jianbing guozi often consists of a pancake and eggs, sea cucumber, hotdog sausage or even squid (鱿鱼) are sometimes added in some places.

“Different street sellers all have various ways to cook jianbing guozi, but they don’t care about how to develop it better for the future. They just focus on making money,” Song Guanming, chairman of the Tianjin Catering Industry Association’s jianbing guozi branch, told The Telegraph. Song believes that the new standards will preserve the traditional flavor of the snack.

However, the introduction of the standards has raised heated debate among Chinese internet users. Some believe that part of the fun of eating jianbing guozi is that its flavor varies by seller, but the rules will destroy its variety, according to The New York Times.

In response, Song explained that the standards would not be strictly carried out. “It’s not our aim to make it standard like KFC fast food,” Song told China Daily. “We just aim to better regulate the cooking process, techniques and safety of this time-honored Tianjin snack in its hometown.”

1.What’s the right understanding of the underlined sentence in Paragraph One?

A. The jianbing guozi most people eat is fake, not authentic（地道）at all.

B. The jianbing guozi most people eat is not made in Tianjing, so it’s not authentic.

C. The jianbing guozi most people eat isn’t made according to the newly introduced standards.

D. The jianbing guozi most people eat is something else. The seller uses the name, because jianbing guozi sells well.

2.Why are some people against the new standards?

A. It’s too complicated for jianbing guozi makers to follow.

B. The new standards will rob the traditional flavor of the traditional Tianjin snack.

C. The new standards will make it impossible for people to eat jianbing guozi outside Tianjin.

D. The new standards will rob the fun of choosing jianbing guozi whose flavors vary.

3.What’s the writer’s attitude towards the new standards?

A. Neutral.(中立的)　　 B. critical　　 C. For the standards.　　 D. Against the standards.

China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled around the country. Everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them are black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing, I've found the opposite (对立面) is true. There are millions of cars.

However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors — silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.

It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on pavements. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.

Wanting to be part of this way of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. After my great buy, I immediately jumped up on my bicycle 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 was hitting my face and going through my hair. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.

1.According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?

A. Because they are traditional and safe.

B. Because they are convenient (方便的) and cheap.

C. Because they are colorful and beautiful.

D. Because they are fast and environmentally friendly.

2.The author decided to buy a bicycle because he meant _________.

A. to ride it for fun

B. to use it for transport

C. to experience local culture

D. to improve his riding skills

3.How did the author feel about his street cross-ing?

A. It was boring.　　　　 B. It was difficult.

C. It was lively.　　　　 D. It was wonderful.

4.Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?
