He then turned his attention to a line of purpose-built bikes for people with physical limitations. Eventually, he designed the Bowhead Reach named for the site at the headwaters of the Bow River where his crash happened. With its main wheel placed at the back part, heavy-tread tires ( 厚胎面轮胎) and a powerful electric motor, the tricycle can go pretty much anywhere.One of Baggs first customers was J.P. Middleton, a volunteer firefighter who, like Bagg, had suffered a lifechanging spinal injury while skiing in 2018. One day, as he was visiting with his dad outside the hospital, someone on an unusual bike shot past them. “It looked like the vehicle in the movie Mad Max,” Middleton said. “When I saw this bike, I thought, I gotta get myself one of these things It was a ray of hope for me.” Middleton credits the bike with giving him a big part of his life back. He also gets a kick out of the amazed looks he gets from those who pass by. “This bike will turn more heads than a Lamborghini,” he joked.With 200 orders in the coming year, he sees a bright future. His passion has also let him gain the rewards of making a real difference for others whove been where hes been. “Thats whats fun to watch the work you do change peoples lives ,” Bagg says.4. Whats the function of the first paragraph?A. To arouse the readers concern for Bagg.B. To describe an unforgettable experience.C. To add some background information.D. To show the main idea of the text.5. What can we learn about the Bowhead Reach?A. It was created for disabled people.B. It was named after Baggs hometown.C. It was not suitable for mountain roads.D.

D【解析】【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了Bagg自身受伤后，专门为残疾人士设计了Bowhead Reach并取得了成功。【4题详解】推理判断题。第一段介绍了Bagg受伤的原因及他想重返户外活动的决心，结合第二段前两句“Bagg started out by designing wheelchairs that offered greater versatility (多功能性) than traditional models. He then turned his attention to a line of purpose-built bikes for people with physical limitations.(Bagg最初设计的轮椅比传统的多功能性更强。然后，他将注意力转向一系列专为身体有缺陷的人设计的自行车)”可知，Bagg专为身体有缺陷的人设计自行车正是因为自己受伤却又想重返户外活动，由此可知，第一段的作用是交代了一些背景信息。故选C。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段的第二句“He then turned his attention to a line of purpose-built bikes for people with physical limitations.(然后，他将注意力转向一系列专为身体有缺陷的人设计的自行车)”可推知，Bagg设计的Bowhead Reach是为残疾人士创造的。故选A。【6题详解】推理判断题。倒数第二段详细叙述了Middleton接触并使用the Bowhead Reach的过程，结合倒数第三句“Middleton credits the bike with giving him a big part of his life back.(Middleton认为这辆自行车让他恢复了大部分生活)”可知，Bagg设计的Bowhead Reach对Bagg很有帮助，由此可推知这段列举Middleton的事例是为了证明Bagg设计的成功。故选B。【7题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“Thats whats fun to watch the work you do change peoples lives ,” Bagg says.(“看到你的工作改变了人们的生活，这就是乐趣所在，”Bagg说)”可知，Bagg喜欢现在所从事的事业是因为它可以帮助他人过上更好的生活。故选D。CThe European Union (EU) has announced a broad new transport plan which aims to cut back on carbon emissions over the next three decades. The European Commission presented its “Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy" on Wednesday. According to the Commission, its strategy focuses on making Europes transport system “sustainable, smart and resilient".By 2030, aims for the strategy include: at least 30 million zero-emission cars on the road, “market-ready" zero-emission marine vessels, and the large-scale application of automated mobility. Other targets for the next decade include the development of more cycling infrastructure. And by 2035, it wants “zero-emission large aircraft" to be market-ready. Further ahead, the Commission says “nearly all cars, vans, buses as well as new heavy-duty vehicles will be zero-emission” by the middle of this century.“By carrying out this strategy, well create a more efficient and resilient transport system, which is on a firm pathway to slash emissions in line with our European Green Deal goals,” said Adina Valean, the commissioner for transport. The European Green Deal refers to the European Commissions plan for the European Union to be climate neutral by 2050.While authorities in Europe were eager to play up the strategy and emphasize the potential effects of its goals, some environmental organizations offered a different viewpoint. In a statement reacting to the plans, the European Unit of Greenpeace said the Commissions proposal didnt “suggest setting a reduction target for air travel, nor the number of privately owned cars"."While it does suggest that collective travel (e.g. via air, rail and bus) under 500 km in theEU be carbon neutral by 2030, it nevertheless falls short of binding measures, such as a ban on short-distance flights where theres a greener alternative like rail,” the group added. "It also fails to set an end date for the sale of new cars with internal combustion engines."Elsewhere, the European Cyclists' Federation, Cycling Industries Europe and Confederation of the European Bicycle Industry gave what they described as a “careful welcome” to the strategys "positive statements about cycling". They stated that “a lot more work" was required to “identify how more ambitious change can be built into the Commissions action plans”. The associations then went on to express their regret that the strategy had “not yet set specific milestones for cycling as a transport mode in the transport system of the future”.8. What does the new transport plan mainly focus on?A. Various means of transportation.B. Peoples traffic safety awareness.C. Chief functions of future vehicles.D. Environmental benefits of transport.9. What does the underlined word “slash" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. removeB. affectC. reduceD. limit10. What can we know about the Commissions proposal?A. It fails to satisfy the real needs of the public.B. It meets opposition from some organizations.C. It increases the governments financial burden.D. It sets many economic targets that are unrealistic.11. What is the associations attitude towards the new strategy?A Casual.B. Cautious.C. Positive.D. Friendly.【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. B【解析】【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。欧盟宣布了一项广泛的新交通计划，旨在未来30年减少碳排放。文章对此进行了报道。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“The European Union (EU) has announced a broad new transport plan which aims to cut back on carbon emissions over the next three decades.”(欧盟宣布了一项广泛的新交通计划，旨在未来30年减少碳排放。)可知，新的运输计划主要着眼于运输的环境效益。故选D。9题详解】词句猜测题。根据第二段第一句“By 2030, aims for the strategy include: at least 30 million zero-emission cars on the road, “market-ready" zero-emission marine vessels, and the large-scale application of automated mobility.”(到2030年，该战略的目标包括：至少3000万辆零排放汽车上路，零排放船舶“市场化”，以及大规模应用自动化机动。)可知，该战略的目标包括实现零排放，再根据第三段第一句中的“By carrying out this strategy, well create a more efficient and resilient transport system”(通过实施这一战略，我们将创建一个更高效、更有弹性的运输系统)可知，这个运输系统是为了减少排放。所以slash意为“减少”。故选C。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“While authorities in Europe were eager to play up the strategy and emphasize the potential effects of its goals, some environmental organizations offered a different viewpoint.”(虽然欧洲当局迫切要强调这一战略，强调其目标的潜在影响，但一些环保组织提出了不同的观点。)可知，委员会的建议遭到一些组织的反对。故选B。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Elsewhere, the European Cyclists' Federation, Cycling Industries Europe and Confederation of the European Bicycle Industry gave what they described as a “careful welcome” to the strategys “positive statements about cycling”.”(在其他地方，欧洲自行车联合会、欧洲自行车工业联合会和欧洲自行车工业联合会对该战略的“关于自行车的积极声明”表示了“谨慎的欢迎”。)和第二句“They stated that “a lot more work" was required to “identify how more ambitious change can be built into the Commissions action plans”.”(他们说，需要“做更多的工作”来“确定如何在委员会的行动计划中纳入更有雄心的变化”。)可知，协会对新战略的态度是谨慎的。故选B。DImagine an albatross (信天翁) with a hacksaw for a mouth. Set that strange creature about 50 million years in the past and youve got the image of a pelagornithid a group of ancient birds that included some of the largest flying birds of all time.Now paleontologists (古生物学家) have uncovered in that group what may be the largest known flying birds ever, with wingspans of roughly six meters. By comparing a pair of polar fossils ( 化 石 ) to the remains of related birds, paleontologists have been able to identify the early history of huge fliers that were some of the first birds capable of flying across seas.During the 1980s, University of California Berkeley paleontologist Peter Kloess says, scientists searching for Antarctic fossils found some delicate bird bones a jaw and part of a foot from an ancient bird. Those bones made a long jour
