选修8unit 1a land of diversity李仕才一、阅读理解aabout three decades ago, china was known as the “bicycle kingdom”. but the twowheel way of transports popularity began to fade, with many bikes soon replaced by their fuelpowered competitors. but recent months have seen a revival of the bike across china, with an increasing number of people choosing to cycle instead of driving to schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. the introduction of bikesharing systems has brought the trend to a new level. people can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones. the bikes are equipped with gps and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. theyre popular among many chinese people as they provide an effective solution to the “last mile problem”， which refers to the final leg of a persons journey. however, the systems have also led to problems such as illegal parking, damage and theft. last month, two nurses in beijing were placed under arrest for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes. “bikesharing is a greener method of transport and provides a userfriendly experience，” said liu xiaoming, viceminister of transport. “but its a combination of online and offline business. operators are usually strong in online services, but lack offline business experience, which causes problems.” now, chinese service operators are trying to handle these problems. for example, a bikesharing company called mobike sets a 100point credit score for each user, with points taken in the case of bad behavior. once a score drops below 80, bike rental is increased to 100 yuan per 30 minutes, up from 0.51 yuan.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了近期共享单车在中国流行的原因、所遇到的问题及解决办法。【难句分析】theyre popular among many chinese people as they provide an effective solution to the “last mile problem”， which refers to the final leg of a persons journey.(第三段第三句)分析：该句为主从复合句。句中“which refers to the final leg of a persons journey”为which引导的非限制性定语从句，解释说明先行词the “last mile problem”。译文：它们在许多中国人中很受欢迎，因为它们为“最后一英里的问题”提供了有效的解决方案，这一问题指的是一个人的旅程的最后一段。1. the underlined word “revival” in paragraph 2 probably means _.asurvival brecoverycexistence dpopularity答案与解析：b考查词义猜测。根据第一段最后一句“but the twowheel way of transports popularity began to fade, with many bikes soon replaced by their fuelpowered competitors.”可知，这种两个轮子的交通工具的受欢迎程度开始下降，许多自行车很快被使用燃料驱动的竞争对手取代；根据第二段第一句中的“but recent months have seen a revival of the bike across china，with an increasing number of people choosing to cycle instead of driving to schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing.”可知，现在越来越多的人选择骑自行车，而不是开车去学校、去上班或去观光。据此可以判断，自行车的受欢迎程度呈现“复苏”的趋势。故b项正确。a项意为“继续生存”，c项意为“存在”，d项意为“流行”，都与语境不符。2. the bikesharing systems are popular because _.athey are very effectivebthey can be picked up anywherecthey are equipped with gpsdthey help to solve the “last mile problem”答案与解析：d考查细节理解。根据第三段最后一句“theyre popular among many chinese people as they provide an effective solution to thelast mile problem， which refers to the final leg of a persons journey.”可知，共享单车在许多中国人中很受欢迎，因为它们为“最后一英里的问题”提供了有效的解决方案，故d项正确。3. to solve the problems of illegal parking, damage and theft, operators need to _.aoffer stronger online servicesbcombine online and offline businesscprovide credit scores for usersdobtain more offline business experience答案与解析：d考查推理判断。根据第五段最后一句“operators are usually strong in online services, but lack offline business experience，which causes problems.”可知，运营商通常在网络服务方面很强大，但缺乏线下业务经验，这是问题的关键；据此可以判断，解决这个问题就需要增加线下运营经验，故d项正确。bopenings and previewsantlia pneumaticain a new play by anne washburn, directed by ken rus schmoll, a group of estranged friends gather at a texas farm house to bury one of their peers.
