11、people think they have an answer to the troubles of automobile crowding and dirty air in large cities.Their answer is the bicycle,or “bike”。 In a great many cities,hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day.In new York City,some bike riders bave even formed a group called Bike for a Better C

12、ity.They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown stction of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines. For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders.For example,they want the city t

13、o draw bicycle lanes on some of the main streets,because when bike riders must use the same lanes as cars,there are accidents.Bike for Better City feels that if there were special lanes more people would use bikes. But no bicycle lanes have been drawn.Not everyone thinks it is a good idea-they say i

14、t will slow traffic.Some store owners on the main streets say that if there is less traffic,they will have less business.And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike. They city goverment has not yet decided what to do.It wants to keep everyone happy.Only on weekends,Central Park is c

15、losed to cars,and the roads may be used by bicycles only.But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown. 1)According to the passage,bicycles_.

17、rk City by Cars C.Special Lanes for Passengers D.A Solution to Traffic Problems in New York Passage 2 Visitors to Spain often feel jet lagged(时差综合症)forever.Work time,meal time and sleep time all come at strange hours.From Krakow to Cordoba,most of Continental Europe is in the same time zone(时区)，but

18、once youre in Spain,youre out of the time zone system. The Spanish day consists of four parts.Morning runs from about 7:00 a.m.to 3:00 p.m;afternoon lasts until around 10:00 p.m.After night comes la madrugada-a fourth part of the active say special to Spain.You may have a prelunch business meeting a

19、t two oclock de la manana (meaning 2:00 p.m)，for example,then stay with the same people at a night club till two oclock de la madrugada (2:00 a.m.)。Similarly,foreigners might be puzzled when given an appointment at 8:30 “in the afternon”，an hour feels like evening to the end. Such customs,developed

20、long ago when the sun and the heat were the ,most important tacts of life,present some obvious difficulties in the year of Olympics in Europe.There are only very few hours when Spaniards(西班牙人)and their counterparts on the rest of the Continent are in the office at the same time;from about 8:30 a.m.t

21、o about 12:30 p.m.To try to make up for it,many ,modern Spaniards have given up the traditional afternoon nap. 4)Which of the following is the best topic of the passage?

23、paniards try to make up for time difference from other countries by _.

24、demons (魔鬼雕像)or magic symbols.But are you sure?consider military regiments(军团)，they have mascots(吉祥物)，often a goat or a horse,while shipscaptains still believe having a cat on board will bring luck. Certain symbols have a very ancient ancestry;the swastika,for example,is an ancient sign brought to E

25、urope by the Crusaders from the Saracens in the Middle Ages.It signified the movement of the seasons,and used to appear on horse brasses along with stars,circles,crescents(新月)and other protective symbols.In the Second World War a clockwise swastika was adopted by Adolf Hitler as the Nazi symbol.Hitl

26、er was extremely superstitious(迷信的)and believed in the swastikas lucky power,rather misguidedly as it turned out. Corn dollies(洋娃娃)，made from the last bundle of corncut,are still popular in countries as far apart as Mexico,the Balinese Islands and Great Britatin.Originally they were a means of encou

27、raging pagan(异教徒)gods to provide a good harvest the following year;now they are just hung up as a decoration in the kitchen,but perhaps some of the old powerful meaning attached to them is dimly remembered. The peasants in southern China when working on their harvests used to wear special dresses.Th

28、e patterned border on these always had two broad hands,representing rivers enclosing lands,and numerous squares represented fileds,each with a different pattern symbolising a particular crop.In this way the peasants indicated to their gods what was expected in each field.These dresses nowdays are wo

29、rn for festivals and ceremonies connected with agriculture-so the original symbolism is not for gotten.Another wuperstition of the Chinese was that demons fly in straight lines,hence all the important public buildings in China have curved corners to confuse the demons and prevent them from getting a

30、 hold as they fly past.For the same reason,the paths up to chinese front doors are winding,and the doors are painted a demon-defyingred as an added protection. To find some kind of protection aggainst the power of demons has always been of importance,and all over the world certain strange customs ev

31、olved.In Asia and Europe,because baby boys were always valued above girls,the curous habit of dressing boy as girls to trick the demons occurred.Even in Victoran Britain boys wore dresses until they were about seven years old.Nowadays,girls and boys both wear ieans so perhaps the demons are still being confused. 7)the authors mention of a
