With 10, 600 bicycles in circulation，Paris city officials are hoping the program will provide people with more environmentally friendly transportation．

It seems both Parisians and tourists are taking advantage of the program．Since its launch a little over two weeks ago，Vélib has already seen almost half a million rentals．And，with the addition of 10，000 more bikes and 700 more stations in the next 12 months，city officials expect at least 200，000 regular users by year end．

Parisian Olivier Bioret has already gone for a spin on one of Vélib’s vehicles and plans to make use of them more often．

“It’s a real pleasure—when，like me，you don’t have space enough in your flat to have your

own bike—to be able to discover．to cross Paris and not have to take the subway，”he said．

As a socialist and longtime green activist，Mayor Bertrand Delanoe regards Vélib as just a part of his plan to reduce car traffic and，thus，lower pollution by 2020．

Apart from its environmental benefits，Vélib is also being praised as a way of collecting money for the city，for all the money from rentals goes to the city government．

Paris is not alone in its attempt to profit from the power of the bicycles．

Across the globe，cities such as Barcelona，which stated its bike-share program in March with 1,500 vehicles and 100 stations，and New York，which launched a five-day trial program last month，are using bicycles as a way to cut back on both traffic and pollution．

However，it remains to be seen whether people’s acceptance of these programs is simply a

passing fashion or whether this movement has the power to take root and transform the face of public transportation around the world．

1.The real purpose of Vélib is________．

A．to help people save money and space

B．to make some money for the city government

C．to provide convenience to both Parisians and tourists

D．to reduce traffic and pollution in the city

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．There will be 700 stations in one year’s time．

B．There will be over 20, 000 bikes in use in a year．

C．In the first two weeks there were nearly a million rentals．

D．There will be 200, 000 regular rentals each day by year end．

3.We can know from the passage that_________．

A．other cities also have such programs

B．Parisians can use the bicycles free of charge

C．Paris sets an example to many other cities

D．Paris is the first city to start such a program

4.As to the future of the program，the author is_________．

A．critical　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　 B．optimistic　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　 C．uncertain 　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　 D．negative

Cities need to put efforts to deal with pollution and clear the air.

Chinese cities will need to put efforts to clear up the sky when a new department to improve regional air quality is set up by 2015, according to the latest plan released by the State Council．

Besides the existing pollution control program for S02, regional emission caps （区域排放上限） for other certain chemicals will be established in the three key air polluting areas— rhe Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region．Coal-consumption caps will also be tried out in some areas, according to the plan．

The plan is aimed at dealing with regional air pollution—such as acid rain and smog—which have become increasingly obvious in China in recent years and caused a severe threat to people's health, Zhang Lijun, vice-minister of environmental protection, said in an interview on Monday.

The air quality in a city affects the regions nearby because pollutants （污染物）can travel through the atmosphere, said Chai Fahe, vice-director of Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences．

“So efforts to reduce air pollution in a single city, targeting a certain pollutant will not oe enough," Chai said．

Zhang said the country's major industrial districts—the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region—have recorded more than 100 misty days annually in recent years．

These three regions, home to at least 200 million people, occupy only 6．3 percent of the country's area but consume 40 percent of the country's coal and produce half of its steel, according to official figures．

Studies also show that the visibility （能见度） in eastern regions of China has dropped by 7 to 15 km compared to that in the early 1960s, as a result of air pollution．

Liaoning province, the Shandong Peninsula, Wuhan in Hubei province and its surrounding area, the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan region in Hunan province, the Chengdu-Chongqing region, and the western coast of the Taiwan Straits are also listed as areas to carry out such regional air pollution control programs, according to the plan．

The new plan also requires an improved air quality system, which will measure the pollution levels．"The current system, which only measures some major pollutants, cannot reflect the true picture．" said Chai．

1.It will not be enough to reduce air pollution in a single city because ______.

A．air pollution has been becoming more and more serious in recent years

B．air pollution like acid rain and smog is threatening people's health

C．air pollutants in a city can travel in the sky and affect nearby areas

D．air pollutants stay in fixed places over the cities

2.Suppose the visibility in eastern regions of China was 130 km in the early 1960s, the visibility there nowadays is________.

A．123 to 115 km

B．137 to 145 km

C．123 to 145 km

D．115 to 137 km

3.The main purpose of the passage is________.

A．to inform readers of the damage caused by air pollution

B．to introduce the new plan to control air pollution

C．to provide official figures of air pollution levels

D．to point out the regions affected by air pollution

4.What does the underlined phrase "the true picture" in the last paragraph mean?

A．The major pollutants．

B．The key polluted areas．

C．The major polluted cities．

D．The pollution levels．
