monday introduced its first-ever intelligent bicycle, fitted with electronic devices to help bring down the high accident rate among elderly cyclists in the bicycle-mad country. developed for the government by the netherlands organization for applied scientific research (tno), the intelligent bicycle, runs on electricity. a commercial-available bicycle is expected to be on the market in the next two years and should sell for between 1, 700 to 3, 200 euros per bicycle. the devices on the bike are linked through an onboard computer with a vibrating (震动的) warning system fitted in the bicycles saddle and handlebars to warn cyclists of the coming danger.the saddle vibrates when other cyclists approach from behind, while, the handlebars do the same when barriers appear ahead. accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get a fright when they are passed at high speed, said maurice kwakkernaat, one of tnos research scientists involved in the project. the onboard system technology has already been at work in the car industry, he said. more and more elderly people are using a bicycle, not only for short distances, but also for longer distances, dutch environment and infrastructure minister melanie schultz van haegen told afp. this type of bicycle is truly needed in the netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue to enjoy cycling, she said. in the netherlands, bicycles outnumber the population of 17 million by at least one million and there are some 25,000 km of bicycle path in the country. those statistics are set to grow as more and more people take to two-wheeled transport, leading to an increased risk of injury. last year, 184 cyclists died in the country, of which 124, or 67%, were older than 65, according to the central statistics office. the year before, 200 cyclists died, the majority of victims also being elderly. the current model weighs 25 kilograms but researchers are working on making the onboard systems smaller. 24. the intelligent bicycle is aimed to _. a. protect the environment b. help reduce traffic pressurec. popularize the use of bicycles d. improve safety for elderly cyclists25. which part of the intelligent bicycle will vibrate when another cyclist was suddendly found ahead ?a. the handlebars. b. the wheels. c. the saddle. d. the onboard computer. 26. we can learn from the passage that _. a. the elderly ride bicycles wherever they gob. the accident rate among elderly cyclists is highc. the number of elderly cyclists is decreasingd. the elderly are planning to give up cycling27. which is the best title for the passage?a. a test bicycle b. elderly cyclistsc. a smart bicycle d. a bicycle-mad countrycan american woman has been held by authorities in china for the past six months accused of stealing state secrets. mrs phan-gillis, a naturalised american born in vietnam, was detained in march, during a trade visit to promote the texan city of houston. sandy phan-gilliss husband jeff gillis says she is now being moved to a more secure facility. chinas foreign ministry spokesman hong lei said on tuesday that mrs. phan-gillis was suspected of carrying out activities endangering national security, and is currently being investigated by relevant departments.we hope that the outside world will respect chinas handling of this case according to law, he added. mrs phan-gillis was president of the houston shenzhen sister city association and consulted for chinese and us businesses. one of her colleages in the trip told the bbc there was nothing out of the ordinary about the trip but described the sequence of events as they left china as bizarre. they had been travelling around china for about a week when the group went through immigration control at the border between guangdong and macau, in zhuhai, on 19 march. the group became separated, regrouping on the other side - without mrs phan-gillis.after returning to houston several days later, mr gillis told them that the us consulate had informed him his wife had been detained, accused of stealing state secrets. her family vigorously deny the accusations, which they say have never been properly explained. since then, consular officials have been able to visit mrs phan-gillis periodically, to check up on her health, which her husband says is poor, and to pass on messages. the us embassy in beijing would not comment on the story and referred the bbc to the us department of state in washington, which was closed at the time of enquiry.28. what do we know about mrs phan-gillis according to the passage?a. a vietnamese who goes to china on business.b. she went on a trade visit with her husband.c. a consultant for chinese and us businesses of the houston shenzhen sister city association d. an american who has been held by chinese government.29. what is the attitude of chinas authorities toward this issue?a. mrs phan-gillis is guilty of stealing chinas state secrets.b. they do not confirm the investigation of mrs phan-gillisc. whether mrs phan-gillis is guilty or not is still under investigation.d. they are expecting other countries intervene.30. what is the american governments reaction to this event?a. positiveb. negativec. unclear d. neutral31. what can we infer from the passage?a. the family of mrs phan-gillis think she is innocent.b. the chinese relevant governments are using some illegal methods to get things done.c. mrs phan-gillis have been to china for many times. d. mrs phan-gillis was detained during a trade visit to promote the texan city of houston.d like many old towns in the forested valleys of the northwest, albany, ore, has seen its share of ups and downs over the years, but when the local economy began to decline some 15 years ago, the downs seemed to outnumber the ups. albany was changing completely. we had to find a way to reinvent ourselves, says wendy kirbey, the former owner of a coffee shop downtown. so in 2002,kirbey,69,proposed (提议) a project she hoped would help her town rediscover its pride: a victorian-style carousel (旋转木马),the animals carved by the townspeople themselves. it felt like the perfect fit for our historical town, she says. despite a sceptical city council (议会) and a starting budget of only $ 150,kfrbey and a handful of volunteers got to work. ten years later, more than 300 people have spent nearly 150,000 hours on the albany carousel, making a lively herd of unusual creatures. each of the 52 animals has been adopted by a sponsor, who oversees its creation and often adds a personal touch. the project has shown the diverse skills and creative talents of albany (pop. 50,000). the amazing thing about this attempt is that whenever weve needed something, its been provided for us, says kirbey. somebodys aunt knows somebodys uncle who comes down to lend a hand. kirbey says it will take two more years to complete the project. but the carousel is already working its magic. it is our towns no. 1 attraction, says rod porsche of the albany visitors association. as the animals are completed, theyre put on show in local hotels, restaurants and shops; people who come to see the fantastical figures around town and tour the workshop (as many as 2,000 visitors a month) are helping albany with its economic recovery. i cant imagine how great its going to be when the carousel is up and running, porsche says.32. what can we learn about the carousel? a. it cost a fortune. b. it looks very modern. c. it received support from all walks of life. d. it took ten years to build.33. by saying the underlined sentence, kirbey wants to tell us_ . a. the townspeople are closely linked b. it is a small world c. uncles and aunts make great efforts d. help is at hand34. what can we infer from the last paragraph? a. porsche has made an outstanding contribution to albany. b. porsche is sceptical of the town-s attractions. c. porsche has made many friends through the project. d. porsche thinks highly of the project.35. the text is mainly about_. a. how a struggling town found a way to create a little magic b. the ups and downs of albany c. how the carousel would help a town recover its culture d. the creative talents of albany第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。the benefits of keeping a journal (日志)
