About thirty years ago, China was known as the "Bicycle Kingdom". Soon bikes were replaced by cars. But recently an increasing number of people choose cycling instead of driving to schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. Bike-sharing service provided by companies like Ofo and Mobike, has brought the trend to a new level.

According to the data from Researh Consulting Group, the frst week of this year saw 5. 85 million active users of Mobike while Ofo had 1. 4 million active users.

People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones. The bikes are equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They're popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective solution to the "last mile" problem, which refers to the final leg of a person's journey. "In places where the subway can't reach, where it's difcult to change from one kind of transport to another. It's so easy to get where you want to go with Mobike," Hu Hong, 29, who lives in Shanghai said.

However, the project has also led to problems such as illegal (非法的) parking, damage and stealing. Last month, two nurses in Beijing were placed under administrative detention (行政拘留) for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes. Now, Chinese service operators are trying to solve this problem.

The Taojinshan Greenway in Shenzhen has been open to citizens since July, 2019, Sitting at the west side of Shenzhen Reservoir, it is as long as 7.07 kilometres.

With plants along both sides and lakes lying at different sites, tourists can enjoy the beauty of nature all the way. If they are tired, they are free to take a rest at the 3 stops. Besides, five unused guard posts(岗亭) along the old route have remained. They are sightseeing platforms for visitors to feel the culture behind the place.

Of all its 13 scenic spots, 8 had AI helpers. From them, visitors can gain information on parking, tour guide services and more. The smart greenway, with free Wi-Fi, also provides environmental date, such as temperature, wind speed and air quality. What's more, it can give visitors warnings of coming extreme(极端的)weather and natural disasters, including rainstorms and typhoons that may hit Shenzhen.

"Started in the middle of 2015, the building process of the Taojinshan Greenway has taken good care of the wildlife and environment nearby," said Yang Shiming, an official in charge of the project.

The greenway is an example of construction

 (建筑) projects without doing harm to nature. It also shows the role that technology plays in building a smart greenway for more life convenience.

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。

Have you ever dreamed of traveling in space?To travel in space,we first have to work out where our food will come from. 

Today's space travellers don't go to the Moon or Mars. They go to the International Space Station (ISS). There,the spacemen live for weeks to months. 

If you visited the ISS years ago,nearly every kind of food you ate would have come from the Earth. 

In 2014,scientists sent the ISS a space garden with some vegetable seeds(种子). With water and some light, the vegetables in the gardern grew. Those were the first foods being grown on the Iss. But the spacemen couldn't eat them and had to send them back to the Earth. The next year,after scientists made sure they were safe,the spacemen grew a second crop. This time the vegetables were ready for the spacemen to eat. 

Gardening is different in space than it is on Earth. Without gravity,plants don't know which way is up. But they learn how to grow. They send their leaves in the direction of light and their roots into the soil. 

The spacemen also have grown vegetables as well as flowers. That's important to know a plant can flower in space,because flowering is part of how some plants make fruit. 

While the space garden is small for now,hopefully it could one day help provide people with food on long﹣time space trips.

Mohamed Nasar, a 58-year-old fisherman has supported his family of five by fishing in the Nile River for 17 years. But he says fishermen like himself catch fewer fish every. year as the Nile has been polluted. It has been filled with plastic bottles, bags and other waste. 

"Most fish are caught in plastic bottles, and they die," said Nasar. 

A local environmental group named "VeryNile" has asked the island's fishermen to use their boats to collect plastic bottles from the river. VeryNile says it buys the bottles at a higher price than the market price offered by traders or recycling factories (回收站).

The initiative (倡议) provides a solution for helping to clean up the Nile, while providing a way to make more money for fishermen like Nasar. 

"This job has helped us a bit. We come and collect about 20 kilos of plastic bottles, and we get about 10 Egyptian pounds (EGP) for each," Nasar said when he sat in his boat collecting bottles. 

Nasar used to make about 100 EGP a day after six hours of fishing. Now only by collecting bottles, he can make 200 EGP every day. 

Another fisherman said cleaner Nile water would-mean more fish. "For one thing, the Nile is cleaner, and for another, the fishermen now have more ways to make money," he said. 

With the help of more than 40 fishermen, over the past year VeryNile has collected around 18 tons of plastic bottles, and most of them were sent to the recycling factory and were made into new things.
