21、 Cycling has become more popular in the UK recently for a number of reasons. One of those must be the British cycling success at both the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008 and the London Olympic Games in 2012. Sir Chris Hoy won three gold medals in Beijing and another two in London. He and Jason Kenny are the most successful Olympic cyclists of all time. The UK also won the Tour de Frances six times.
Cycling is not just a sport though, and Tony is just one of the many people who like to cycle long distances because they want to enjoy the natural beauty of the UK. He belongs to Sustrans? a volunteer organization created in the 1980s. Sustrans has combined quieter roads and disused railway tracks to create the National Cycle Network of cycle-friendly routes. Cyclists follow these routes to raise money for charity, but also because they enjoy the scenery across England and like to get away from the busy city life.
Connie lives and works in London and, like half a million Londoners every day，she travels to and from work by bike. Since the introduction of the Congestion Charge where drivers pay to bring a car into the center of London during working hours in 2003, the capital city has seen an almost 50 percent increase in the number of people traveling by bike. Cycling to work takes the same amount of time as it would by bus or tube. Connie says that cycling is cheaper and keeps her fit, too.
Nigel is a campaigner. In addition to traveling to and from work by bicycle, doing some charity rides and generally enjoying cycling, Nigel runs a local campaigning group and helps organize the ‘critical commute’ ---where cyclists gather every last Friday of the month and cycle into work together. For Nigel, cycling is about saving the planet, a cost-effective way of reducing our carbon footprint today.
【1】All the factors have contributed to the growth in the number of cyclers in the UK except __________.
A.the cycling success in big sports events
B.the desire to join organizations and earn money
C.the introduction of the Congestion Charge
D.the awareness of protecting the environment
【2】What’s the main reason why Connie cycles to work?
A.For health concern.
B.For convenience.
C.For financial considerations.
D.For time management.
【3】Who are nature lovers according to the text?
A.Jason Kenny & Tony.
B.Chris Hoy & Connie.
C.Connie & Nigel.
D.Tony & Nigel.
22、I will never forget the day--- September 10th 2009, when my class went on a field trip to the beach and I had so much fun. When we returned to school, my teacher told me to go to the headmaster’s office. When I got into the office, I saw a police officer. Suddenly, I realized something was wrong. The police officer told me what had happened and we went to pick my sister up. After that, we went to the hospital and waited. Time went slowly. Finally, we got to see our mother. It was terrible.
On the next day, the headmaster came and told my two teachers what had happened. I was taking a test that day. I knew it had something to do with my mother. I kept thinking that she either died or had gotten better. How I wished that she had gotten better. When my teacher took me outside, my sister ran up to me. She started crying, “She’s gone, Terresa, mommy’s gone. She’s dead.” I couldn’t believe it. We jumped into the car and drove straight to the hospital. Most of my family were there. The silence was terrible. I knew I had to say goodbye.
Today when I look back, I still miss my mother very much, but I know that I will live. My mother was a strong mother, who had the biggest heart. She was an angel walking on the earth. I will always remember her as a living. When someone is asked who their hero is, they usually say someone famous, like Michael Jordan or Britney Spears. When someone asks me who my hero is, I tell them, my mother. My mother lives everyday. That is what makes her a true hero.

24、The new high-speed railway line between Urumqi，capital of the Xinjiang Uygur self-governing region，and Lanzhou，capital of Gansu province，has cut train travel time by half to less than 12 hours．
The dramatic improvement will benefit many families planning reunions for Spring Festival．
“For the first time，I feel home is not that far away after all，”said Liang Shaofu as he boarded a high-speed train in Urumqi with six members of his family．
The 35-year-old left Lanzhou to set up a dry fruit business in Xinjiang eight years ago，and he has now settled in Urumqi．
The 1,776-km line，which passes through Qinghai province and is the country’s first high-speed railway to be built in a high-altitude region，came into service on Dec 26．
“We normally drive home for Spring Festival to avoid the difficulties of buying seven train tickets for the whole family during the peak season，”Liang said．“Driving can be very tiring and dangerous sometimes，so one year we even decided not to go back to Lanzhou simply to avoid the trip．”
More than 600，000 passengers traveled on the line during its first month，and the Urumqi Railway Bureau said the introduction of high-speed services will ease transport pressure during the Spring Festival peak season．
The existing usual railway line could no longer support Xinjiang’s development．All passenger trains will gradually shift to the new link，leaving the old one to be used for goods．As a result，Xinjiang’s annual goods ability could reach 200 million metric tons from the current 70 million．
The line passes through areas that experience high winds，and it also crosses parts of the deserted Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the bone-dry sands of the Gobi Desert．
The project could help China to promote its high-speed railway technology abroad，said Ma Xi zhang，director of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang railway project’s_management department in Xinjiang.
【1】How long did it take to go from Urumqi to Lanzhou by the usual train before?
A．about 12 hours． B．About 6 hours．

【2】What’s the main advantage of the new high-speed railway?
A．It takes more time to go to Urumqi to Lanzhou．
B．It will be more convenient for people all over the country to Xinjiang．
C．All the people in Lanzhou can return home on festivals．
D．It helps to improve Xinjiang’s development．
【3】From the passage we can learn________.
A．Xinjiang’s annual goods ability can increase nearly four times
B．the new railway technology may help more railway lines to be built abroad
C．the high-speed railway lines can’t be built across the bone-dry sands
D．the old railway lines can only carry goods now
【4】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．The new high-speed railway line is good for all people to go home．
B．The new high-speed railway line benefits businessmen to carry goods．
C．Taking the new train is safer than driving home from Urumqi to Lanzhou．
D．Businessmen seldom went home for Spring Festival before．
