It has been designed to encourage more people to cycle in and around central London.So how does it work? First you have to sign up to the project to be sent a key. The key will unlock one of the bikes, which are kept at docking stations in and around central London. You have to pay an access fee for the key and then you pay as you go, for the length of time you use the bike.Transport for London, which runs the project, are hoping to have 6, 000 bikes and 400 docking stations in place by the end of the year. The new hire system is hoping to ease congestion (拥挤) in London and is expected to create up to 40, 000 extra cycle trips a day into the city centre. London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the project and said London had been “filled with thousands of gleaming machines that will transform the look and feel of our streets and become as commonplace on our roads as black cabs and red buses”.However, there have been a few problems since the project was launched last Friday. On the first day some people found they couldnt dock their bike properly and their usage of the bike had not registered. Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few “teething problems” and have said they wouldnt charge for the first day as a “gesture of goodwill”. Some other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles.Despite the comments, the green-thinking London Mayor still seems very positive about things, saying, “My campaign for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a big pedal-powered push forwards.”41. London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the new bike project in order to _.A. reduce the air pollution of the city B. encourage the citizens to take exercisesC. deal with the citys traffic problemsD. increase employment opportunities42. If you want to hire a bike, in which order will you do?a. pay for the bike according to the time you use itb. pay for the key to a bikec. cycle in and around central Londond. sign up as a member to get a keyA. b-d-c-a B. b-c-a-d C. d-c-b-a D. d-b-c-a43. All the following are the problems of the project EXCEPT _.A. the high cost to hire a bike B. not registering their usage of the bikesC. not charging for the first day of the project D. docking the bikes properly44. From the passage we can infer that _.A. the London Mayor is confident in the projectB. the project will be cancelled because of the problemsC. all the citizens in London support the projectD. the cycling revolution is not successfulBGeniuses amaze us, impress us and make us all a little jealous. How do they differ from the average person? Scientists are working hard to figure out that answer. Tune in to the National Geographic Channel to find out about the discoveries theyre making in the series My Brilliant Brain.When Marc Yu was only two years old, he began to play the piano. After a year, he started learning pieces by Beethoven. Now hes a world-famous concert pianist at age eight. He learns newer and more difficult pieces with ease and can identify any note he hears. He seems to be specially designed for music. In Born Genius, National Geographic looks at the science behind child prodigies (神童) to explain why some children seem to be born without limits.Geniuses didnt come naturally to Tommy McHugh. His came only after he nearly died from bleeding in his brain. After recovering, McHughs head was filled with new thoughts and picture. So, he began to express them in the form of poetry and art. Now, hes a seemingly unstoppable creative machine. Suffers of brain injury have shown that great mental ability can sometimes come from damage or disease. Accidental Genius explores this puzzling relationship.Can normal people be trained to be geniuses? Susan Polger has shown no sign of extraordinary intelligence. Yet, during her childhood, she studied thousands of chess patterns and learned to recognize them immediately. As a result, she was able to beat skilled adult players by age 10 and can now play up to five games at the same time without even seeing the boards. Make Me a Genius examines what is takes to turn an ordinary brain into that of a genius.If becoming a genius were easy, wed all be done. Yet, there is much more to super intelligence than simply being born lucky. Learn more about amazing brains this month on National Geographics My Brilliant Brain.45. In paragraph 2, Marc Yus story tells us _.A. a child prodigy can work easier than others.B. a child prodigy is trained by family.C. a child prodigy has an unbelievable listening skill.D. a child prodigy always practise his skills.46. In paragraph 3, the sentence “Geniuses didnt come naturally to Tommy McHugh.” means that _.A. Tommy McHugh could not be called a genius.B. Tommy McHugh became a genius when he was young.C. Tommy McHugh was a robot but not a real human being.D. Tommy McHugh became a genius after a sudden accident.47. The passage may come from _.A. a reportB. a novel C. a TV programD. a newspaperCWalking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasnt covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt I wouldnt have found it amusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!Having stopped, laughing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain. For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused. I wasnt sure what to do. After all, its just not everyday that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. Thats when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier. He had a mate and she was dying.Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mates sake, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life, should I have been careless enough to step on her. His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mates safety seemed admirable. I couldnt do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.Since then, Ive always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers facing me.48. Why did the writer change his direction while walking down a path?A. To get close to a butterfly.B. To look over the bad situation.C. To escape a sudden attack.D. To avoid getting his shoes dirty.49. What made the man feel funny?A. Making the attacker pause.B. Being attacked by a butterfly.C. Being stepped on by his mate.D. Discovering the energetic butterfly.50. From this experience the man learned _.A. what he should do when faced with troubleB. how he should deal with attacksC. people should show sympathy to the weakD. people should protect butterflies51. Which of the following words can best describe the butterfly?A. Careless. B. Amusing. C. Courageous.D. Aggressive.DBobby Moresco grew up in New Yorks Hells Kitchen, a tough working-class neighborhood on Manhattans West Side. But Hells Kitchen lies right next door to Broadway, and the bright lights attracted Bobby from the time he was a teen. Being stage-struck was hardly what a street kid could admit to his partners. Fearing their ridicule, he told no one, not even his girlfriend, when he started taking acting lessons at age 17. If you were a kid from the neighborhood, you became a cop, construction worker, longshoreman or criminal. Not an actor.Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks east. He studied acting, turned out for all the cattle callsand during the decade of the 1970s made a total of $2,000. “I wasnt a good actor, but I had a driving need to do something different with my life,” he says.He moved to Hollywood, where he drove a cab and worked as a bartender. “My father said, Stop this craziness and get a job; you have a wife and daughter.” But Moresco kept working at his chosen craft.Then in 1983 his younger brother Thomas was murdered in a mob-linked killing. Moresco moved back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain and the patrimony of Hells Kitchen. Half-Deserted Streets, based on his brothers killing, opened at a small Off-Broadway theater in 1988. A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on a screenplay.His reputation grew, and he got enough assignments to move back to Hollywood. By 2020, he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis, a director who had befriended him. Haggis wanted help writing a film about the country after September 11. The two worked on the writing, but every studio in town turned it down. They kept pitching it. Studio executives, however, thought no one wanted to see a severe, honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision in modern America.Moresco believed so strongly in the script that he borrowed money, sold his house. He and Haggis kept pushing. At last the writers found an independent film producer who would take a chance, but the upfront money was too little, Moresco delayed his salary.Crash slipped into the theaters in May 2020, and quietly became both a hit and a critical success. It was nominated for six Academy Awards and won threeBest Picture, Best Film Editing and Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Paul Haggis and the kid from Hells Kitchen.At age 54, Bobby Moresco became an overnight success. “If you have something you want to do in life, dont think about the problems,” he says, “think about other ways to get it done.”52.
