Question

【題目】China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors --- silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.

It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.

Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.

My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.

Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.

I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.

【解析】試題分析:本文為記敘文。中國(guó)在過(guò)去是自行車(chē)的王國(guó)，而現(xiàn)在仍然有很多人喜歡騎自行車(chē)出行，因?yàn)檫@種交通方式方便、省錢(qián)。為了融入這種文化，“我”也買(mǎi)了一輛自行車(chē)。但是在回家途中，發(fā)現(xiàn)騎車(chē)過(guò)街是最大的問(wèn)題，需要時(shí)間、技巧和一點(diǎn)兒運(yùn)氣。但是騎行經(jīng)歷讓“我”覺(jué)得很愉快、很有趣。

【1】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的For many，it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.可知，自行車(chē)如今仍然很受歡迎，是因?yàn)樗�的便捷和�?jīng)濟(jì)。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段 I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully. 和倒數(shù)第三段 so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.的敘述可知，騎自行車(chē)并不安全，速度也不是很快，故A項(xiàng)和D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；文章雖然提到了自行車(chē)的顏色多種多樣，但這并不是它受歡迎的原因，故C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤，故選B。

【2】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句話Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture...可知，作者購(gòu)買(mǎi)自行車(chē)是因?yàn)槠惹械叵肴谌胫袊?guó)的這種文化之中，故C項(xiàng)正確。作者在有了騎行經(jīng)歷之后才發(fā)現(xiàn)了其中的樂(lè)趣，故A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；文章并未提到作者購(gòu)買(mǎi)自行車(chē)是為了作為交通工具或者提高騎行技術(shù)，故排除B項(xiàng)和D項(xiàng)，故選C。

【3】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的敘述Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck可知，騎車(chē)過(guò)街是最大的問(wèn)題，需要時(shí)間、技巧和運(yùn)氣，因此作者認(rèn)為騎車(chē)過(guò)街非常困難。其余選項(xiàng)均與本段內(nèi)容不符，故選B。

【4】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由最后一段The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air was hitting my face and going through my hair. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. 可知，空氣吹拂臉頰和頭發(fā)的感覺(jué)很美妙，騎行時(shí)就像坐在了世界的頂端，騎自行車(chē)使作者覺(jué)得充滿了活力。由此可判斷出，作者覺(jué)得騎自行車(chē)很有樂(lè)趣，故D項(xiàng)正確。A項(xiàng)意為“作者喜歡炫耀自己的騎行技術(shù)”；B項(xiàng)意為“作者很討厭騎行時(shí)的空氣”；C項(xiàng)意為“作者被其他騎行人員贊揚(yáng)了”，均與文章內(nèi)容不符，故選D。
