Question

【题目】If you go to visit London, you’ll see a lot of buses and cars on the road. You’ll also see many bikes because more people travel by bike. Why? There are many reasons. First, it is very cheap to buy a bike, and it is quick, too. You often need to wait for a bus for half an hour. When the bus comes, there are so many other buses and cars on the roads, so the bus moves very slowly.

I travel to work by bus for about four years. I often arrive at work late and feel tired. Then one day, a friend of mine says, “I go to work by bike. Why don’t we travel together?” “Because my bike is old, and there are so many buses and cars on the roads. I’ll feel frightened.” I answer. “Don’t be afraid, if you follow me and we ride slowly, you’ll be fine.” he says.

Later, I buy a new bike. We go slowly, but we arrive at work quickly. I spend 40 minutes going by bus, but only half an hour by bike! Now I love riding a bike. And I feel healthy. Many people think my idea is good and maybe you’ll see more bikes on the road in the future.

试题分析：这篇短文给我们介绍的是作者以前经常乘坐公交车上班，结果又累，还经常迟到。后来在朋友的建议下，他骑自行车上班，很快就到了工作的地方。他现在觉得骑自行车非常好。

【1】C 细节理解题。根据短文第二段中I travel to work by bus for about four years可知，作者乘坐公交车上班已经有大约四年的时间了。故选C。

【2】A推理判断题。根据短文的开头If you go to visit London, you’ll see a lot of buses and cars on the road. You’ll also see many bikes because more people travel by bike.可知，在伦敦的道路上，我们可以看到公交车、汽车，还有自行车，因此A是正确的。根据I spend 40 minutes going by bus, but only half an hour by bike!可知B是不对的；根据there are so many other buses and cars on the roads, so the bus moves very slowly可知C是不对的；根据短文第二段的内容以及I often arrive at work late and feel tired.可知D是不对的。

【3】D 细节理解题。根据短文的最后Many people think my idea is good and maybe you’ll see more bikes on the road in the future.可知，或许以后你在道路上会看到更多的自行车。故选D。
