江苏省泰兴市西城初中2017年八年级下学期英语期末考试试卷(含听力音频)
Recent years have witnessed(见证) the returning of shared bikes across China. Now more and more people choose cycling instead of driving to school, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. Bike-sharing plans are warmly welcomed in many cities. Mobike has 5.85 million active users while Ofo has 1.4 million users this year.
People can unlock(解锁) the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones. All bikes have GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They are popular among many Chinese people because they help solve "last-mile" problems in cities. For example, many people find it difficult to get to the hotel when they get off trainers or to travel around the city.
However, the plans have also led to problems such as illegal(非法的) parking, vandalism(故意毁坏) and theft(偷窃). In February this year, two nurses in Beijing were placed under administrative detention(行政拘留) for five days for putting person locks on two shared bikes.
In fact, these problems are also shared by bike-sharing plans abroad. Started in 2007, Velib is the largest public bike sharing company in Paries. At its early period, it also met with problems of vandalism and theft. To solve the problem, the company came up with the idea of encouraging(鼓励) people to return the bikes to stations by providing free time for their next rides.
Now, Chinese bike-shared companies are also trying to solve these problems. For example, Mobike sets a 100-point credit score(信用分数) for each user, but the points will be taken because of his or her bad behaviour. Once a score drops below 80, bike rental(租金) will be increased(增加) from 1 yuan to 100 yuan per 30 minutes.
Answer the following questions with No More Than 8 Words.
Fun and Fitness on Bikes A cyclist dresses up during a 16-kilometer bike ride in Moscow during the spring 2023 Velofest. Velofest is a big cycling activity in Russia. The activity was a celebration in support of bike culture and healthy lifestyles. A number of people took part and many dressed up. It meant that they want an active lifestyle and eco-friendly way of traveling. A City for Walking and Cycling The city of Pontevedra in Spain is great for walking and cycling. People can't drive in the city center. They make 73 percent of journeys in the city on foot or by bike. Only 30 percent of the public space is for cars. Seventy percent is for people. From 2001 to now, there are no deadly road accidents, and the CO2 level went down by 67 percent since the 1990s. Travel Squad Recently, "travel squad" becomes a popular trip style in China. It means travel like a soldier. It's different from the relaxing kind of traveling that we all know. Visitors often go to a lot of places in a short period of time at a low cost, usually on weekends. Most of them are college students. "Such a trip can bring a different color to my stressful life, "said Chen, a 24-year-old university student. "Because it is very energy-consuming ( (耗体力), it is not suitable for everyone", she added. |
A Recent Survey About Students' Handwriting Nowadays, the computer has become a very important tool to help people to write. As a result, students are paying less and less attention to their handwriting. However, when they were asked if they would like to improve their handwriting, most of them answered " No" , which is very disappointing. Because they think they can type on the computer and handwriting is useless. |
Actually, handwriting is necessary and important because we need it in our everyday life. To have good handwriting, you need to follow these suggestions: *Try different styles of pens until you find the right one. *Sit up straight but relaxed, with your arms on the table. *Practice it for a few minutes each day. |
