Planners, politicians and media keep showing off their benefits: reducing pollution, congestion, travel costs and oil dependence, while improving public health. Bike sharing also helps make cities appear modern, dynamic and world-wide-qualities much sought after by the creative class. But what makes for a successful public bike-sharing program? This is an important question because installing one requires significant public and private investment and adjustment to the built environment. While many programs have been launched among much praise, often their popularity has soon declined. Many end up operating at a financial loss and depend on other profitable enterprises to cross-subsidize (交叉补贴) them. Some have resulted in thrown-away bikes being an eyesore. Understanding which factors enhance or stop public bike sharing is critical in helping cities decide whether such a program is workable, before considering what design and sitting will work best. Drawing on current knowledge, we discuss the importance of the local landscape, climate, cycling infrastructure (基础设施) and land use. We also touch on other factors, such as the legal environment and the characteristics of the bike-sharing program itself. Take natural environment for example. Two natural environment factors are known to affect participation: hilliness and weather. Hilliness discourages balanced bike-sharing use, as users avoid returning bicycles to stations on hilltops. Those stations end up being empty, while stations on flat areas are often full, so users cannot find a station to return their bikes. As for weather, ideal temperature ranges vary by the climate zone. Case studies show warm and dry weather encourages public bike-sharing use. Rain and strong wind reduce the frequency of trips. However, some approaches, such as providing sheltered, shaded, or even heated or cooled cycling infrastructure, could prove useful.24. What can we infer about bike sharing from Paragraph 1? A. It has no disadvantage.B. It is weled worldwide.C. It can solve every problem.D. It is the symbol of modern cities.25. What is the current situation of bike-sharing programs? A. Many of them run at a loss.B. Most of them make huge profits.C. They are the most promising business.D. Their development is determined by public investment.26. Why does the author mention the natural environment? A. To show users interest in various natural environment.B. To show the decisive function of natural environment.C. To show the necessity of bike-sharing programs.D. To show the significance of some factors.27. Which of the following might increase bike-sharing use? A. Hilliness.B. Attractive bikes.C. Rain and strong windD. Perfect cycling infrastructure.CWater is precious especially in dry areas. A new device can produce drinkable water from desert air using nothing but sunlight. “With this device, you can harvest a Coke cans worth of water in an hour,” says co-creator Omar Yaghi, a chemist at the University of California. “Thats about how much water a person needs to survive in the desert.”The current device is just a sample. But the technology could be used to supply fresh water to some remote regions of the globe, like the Middle East and North Africa, Yaghi says.“Previous attempts at low-energy water collection functioned below 50 percent relative humidity, while the new device pulled water from air with as low as 20 percent humidity,” Yaghi said.Getting that water out is easy when the air is wet. But drawing water from the drier air in parched areas is a greater challenge. Spongy (柔软吸水的) materials can take water out from the dry air. Those materials, however, either collect water too slowly or require lots of energy to gather the water.The new device uses a material that avoids both problems. MIT mechanical engineer Evelyn Wang, and her colleagues remade an existing material posed of electrically charged metal atoms. This metal-organic framework MOF-801, creates a network of sponge like pores (气孔) to trap water vapor. At room temperature, water vapor is collected in the pores. As temperatures rise, the water escapes into a box beneath the pores. A condenser (冷凝器) in the box cools the vapor, converting it into a drinkable liquid. This entire process takes around two hours.Laboratory tests of the device harvested 2. 8 liters of water per day. The device could be used as a personal water source in dry regions, Yaghi says, or scaled up (按比例增加) to produce enough water for a whole munity.28. How does MOF-801 work?A. By taking water out in wet areas.B. By collecting and cooling water vapor.C. By using spongy materials to store water.D. By creating metal pores and using a condenser.29. What does the underlined word “parched” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Dry.B. Cool.C. Deserted.D. Exposed.30. Which of the following is an advantage of MOF-801?A. The small size.B. The low price.C. Making water fresher.D. Saving time and energy.31. What can be inferred from the text?A. Evelyn Wang created MOF-801 on her own.B. People are curious about the creation of MOF-801.C. MOF-801 isnt available for customers now.D. The problem of water shortage will be solved by MOF-801.DScientists have found living organisms (有机体) that could be 50,000 years old. The organisms were found in ahot, but beautiful cave system in Naica, Mexico. These ancient life forms can be seen only with a microscope. The ancient microbes (微生物) were able to exist by eating minerals such as iron and manganese, said Penelope Boston, head of NASAs Astrobiology Institute. If the findings are confirmed, they will show how microbes can survive in extreme conditions.Researchers have been studying the microbes for nine years. Forty different kinds of microbes and some viruses were found in the underground area. The genetic structures of these organisms are different from those of their nearest relatives. That means their closest relative is about as genetically different as humans are from mushrooms growing in the forest. The caves in Naica are 800 kilometers deep. Before the miners began working in the caves, the area was isolated from the surface and the outside world. Some of the caves are as big as the large religious centers built during Europes Middle Ages. There are crystals (结晶体) covering the walls. Scientists must wear special clothing to keep cool. The clothing keeps the crystals safe from human germs or other damage. The researchers could only work for about 20 minutes at a time before they had to go to a room that was 38 degrees Celsius to cool down. NASA officials would not let Boston share her findings with scientific experts before last weeks announcement. So scientists could not say much about the findings. But Norine Noonan, a biologist with the University of South Florida, said she believed them. “Why are we surprised?” Noonan said. “As a biologist, I would say life on Earth is extremely tough and extremely adaptable.” The microbes are not the oldest life forms on Earth. Several years ago, scientists published studies about microbes that may be 500,000 years old and still alive. 32. What do the ancient microbes survive on?A. Minerals. B. Germs. C. Viruses. D. Crystals.33. Why are mushrooms mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. To show the caves are extremely hot.B. To tell us the microbes are a kind of mushroom. C. To explain how the structures of the microbes are unusual.D. To say the microbes are as useful to humans as mushrooms.34. What can we learn from the last paragraph about the microbes?A. They are the same microbes found several years ago.B. They live longer than scientists predicted.C. They didnt surprise Norine Noonan at all.D. They are the oldest life forms on Earth. 35. What does the text mainly tell us?A. A plex cave system was discovered in Naica. B. 50,000-year-old “super life” was found in Mexico.C. Researchers never stop studying living organisms.D. Some life forms can live in extreme conditions.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。The Importance of Accessibility AwarenessAt a recent Teen Leadership of Jewish Family Services meeting, people with disabilities talked about their lives. 36 However, what amazed me most was the great importance of education about handicap acmodations (残疾人便利设施).One school-teacher who is blind, and a woman who has used a wheelchair all her life are two important members of the National Group for Disabled Persons, devoted to raising awareness about disabilities. 37 These include handicap parking spots, handrails, and wheelchair ramps. One big concern is the people who take advantage of aids, such as handicap parking spaces. 38 And the meeting focused on educating the public.Some handicap spots have extra room next to them, marked with the “No Parking” signs. “As long as Im not in the spot, I can take the no-parking area next to it,” some people say. However, the woman who uses a wheelchair disagrees to this. The space exists to allow someone in a wheelchair to have room to get in or out of their car. 39 Some walkways have handrails next to them to help those who require extra assistance. Whether it is a blind person seeking guidance or an elderly person seeking support, the rail is there for walking. Sometimes the rail is blocked, by a parked bicycle for instance, and consequently made useless. 40 People who are informed of the rails use would be less likely to mistake it for a bike rack.Meeting some of the people who are affected by the lack of education about acmodations made me see that there is work to be done. If more people were educated about the proper uses of acmodations, there would be fewer challenges for people with physical disabilities.A. Acmodations will vary according to the needs of the disabled.B. As with the parking spot, this is more likely a case of lack of education.C. They educate about all the acmodations for people with disabilities.D. Improvement must be made so that disabled people can fully participate.E. If there is a car in that space, the handicap parking spot is no longer useful.F. So people without disabilities need to be educated about these acmodations.G. I was amazed to hear about the challenges faced by people with physical disabilities.第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。The weak can never forgive.
