2.China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992when 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(人行道).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.

分析 本文屬于記敘文,講述了在過去中國是自行車的王國,而現(xiàn)在仍然有很多人喜歡騎自行車出行,因為這種交通方式方便、省錢.為了融入這種文化,"我"也買了一輛自行車.但是在回家途中,發(fā)現(xiàn)騎車過街是最大的問題,需要時間、技巧和一點兒運氣.但是騎行經(jīng)歷依然讓"我"覺得很愉快、很有趣.
解答 21 B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段For many,it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.可知,自行車如今仍然很受歡迎,是因為它的便捷和經(jīng)濟(jì).因此B正確;誤解分析:根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段 Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.和倒數(shù)第三段的敘述,可知騎自行車并不安全,速度也不是很快,故A項和D項錯誤;由第一段Bicycles also come in different colors-sivler,green,red,blue,yellow,whatever you want可知文章雖然提到了自行車的顏色多種多樣,但這并不是它受歡迎的原因,故C項錯誤;故選B.
22 C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture,I decided to buy a bicycle.可知作者購買自行車是因為迫切地想融入中國的這種文化之中,故選C.
23.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段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.可知騎車過街是最大的問題,需要時間、技巧和運氣,因此作者認(rèn)為騎車過街非常困難.故選B.
24.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.可知,空氣吹拂臉頰和頭發(fā)的感覺很美妙,騎行時就像坐在了世界的頂端,騎自行車使作者覺得充滿了活力.由此可判斷出,作者覺得騎自行車很有樂趣,故選D.
