They once seemed more at home on the busy streets of Asia like Delhi, Calcutta and
Bangkok but cycle powered rickshaws (人力車) can now be seen taking people across town in many European cities. Many people believe that rickshaws are a good way of experiencing a city close-up, while also cutting down on traffic jams and pollution. In Berlin, one of the first cities to introduce this new model of transport, more than 200 bike-taxis go along at 15km per hour, past many tourist attractions and city parks.
“It is
completely environmentally friendly; we have new models with an engine to help the driver up the hills but they use renewable energy.” said a spokesman for VELOTAXI, the leading rickshaw company which has carried a quarter of a million people this year.
While the city still has 7,000 motor-taxis, rickshaw company officials say their taxis’ green ideas, speed and safety make them more than just a tourist attraction. While now increasingly out of fashion in Delhi, Berlin people have eagerly accepted the new fleet since their launch in 1997.
“It’s better than a taxi, better than a bus, better than the train,” said ULF Lehman, 36, as he leapt out of a rickshaw near the world famous Brandenburg gate. “ It feels so free.”
“This is something out of the ordinary, you feel you are on holiday in Bangkok instead of Berlin,” said another traveler.
In Amsterdam, driver Peter Jancso said people like to be driven around in his bright yellow rickshaw and pretend to be a queen in a golden carriage. "I like my passengers to feel important," he said as he dropped off another passenger. Another visitor noted how cheap it was compared with a normal taxi.
Although increasingly popular in Europe, it is the opposite in India, where hand-pulled rickshaws are considered inhuman and a symbol of India's backward past.
Nearly 500 bike-rickshaws are running in London and are not requir
ed to pay the city's road tax but things may change as other taxi drivers complain of unfair treatment.
【小題1】 Where are rickshaws becoming more popular?
| A．Delhi, Berlin, Paris. | B．Amsterdam, Bangkok, Delhi. |
| C．Athens, London, Berlin. | D．Berlin, Amsterdam, London. |
| A．They are a reminder of a bad period in India's history. |

科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：閱讀理解
閱讀下面短文，并按照題目要求用英語回答問題。
India has millions of cycle rickshaws(人力車)which have a two-wheeled carriage．The operators are called pullers．They ride through the streets pulling passengers and goods．Unlike buses and cars，which burn fuel，cycle rickshaws produce no pollution．But the job of a rickshaw puller is not easy．
Now，to help ease their labor, there is the Solar-Electric Rickshaw or soleckshaw．An electric motor helps the operator pull heavy goods or go up a hill．A thirty-six volt(伏特) battery can carry the rickshaw forty kilometers．Top speed is fifteen kilometers an hour, and soleckshaws don’t pollute the environment．There is also a battery charging station at Delhi Metro Rail Station．
The goal with the new rickshaw is to increase the number of trips per day that the pullers can make, which means more money to earn．There is also space for advertising，a way for them to earn additional money.
At present the Solar-Electric Rickshaw is rather expensive．But the designers say that rickshaw pullers could repay the money borrowed from the bank to buy a soleckshaw within about two or three years．Now India’s seven to eight million pullers usually pay one-third of their earnings to the owner of a rickshaw to use it by the day．But in 2008 the Center of Rural Development had the idea for a bank to help self-employed workers buy their own rickshaws．
Besides，there are plans for improved types of soleckshaws，which will have more powerful engines and can travel long distances．The new types are expected to be used when New Delhi hosts the Commonwealth Games next year．
Soleckshaws are a great step forward．However, some people say a lot of excitement is lost when rickshaws are going faster than ever．What’s more，soleckshaws create additional costs such as electric charging，batteries and solar panels(太陽能電池板)．There is really a long way before they become universal around the country.
1. What does the passage mainly tell us? (No more than 10 words)
2. How can pullers afford to buy the soleckshaw? (No more than 10 words)
3. What are the disadvantages of soleckshaws? (No more than 15 words)
4. The underlined word“universal”in the last paragraph probably means______．(No more than 5 words)
5．What do you think of soleckshaws? Please give your reasons. (No more than 20 words)
