7.London started its first major bike hire scheme (方案) on July 30th.Transport For London (TFL),the agency responsible for moving people around England's capital,put 5,000bicycles in 400different places around the city.
The idea is to cut traffic,reduce pollution and provide a greener way of getting around London's streets.The scheme had a few small problems on its first day as people could not lock the bikes properly once they had finished riding them.As a gesture of goodwill,London Mayor Boris Johnson announced all rentals (租金) on the first day would be free of charge.The bikes are available for free for the first 30minutes but costs go up sharply since then.Renters have to pay﹩1.60for the first hour and﹩78for 24hours.The bikes are clearly designed for very short trips.
TFL says it sees a"cycle revolution"happening in London.It predicts there will be around 40,000new cycle journeys every day on the rental bikes.Mr.Johnson says he wants to see a return to the turn of the 20th century,when 20per cent of journeys in London were made by bicycle.The scheme has received a lot of positive feedback (反饋) in the first two days.
Many Londoners believe it is a great alternative (替代品) to London's overcrowded and overpriced trains and buses.One person,Andy Clark,told the Reuters news agency,"It's a great idea.I've seen it operating in Paris and Barcelona and thought why don't we have one?"The Londonist Blog said the bikes were very strong and were"designed to bear a beating from both careless cyclists and drunken people".

24.A 主旨大意題.本文介紹了英國(guó)倫敦開(kāi)創(chuàng)的一個(gè)綠色環(huán)保的交通方式"自行車(chē)往返倫敦的大街小巷"的活動(dòng),這一活動(dòng)旨在減小交通壓力,降低污染.故A項(xiàng)最能概括文意.

26.D  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段中的"The idea is to cut traffic,reduce pollution and provide a greener way of getting around London's streets."可知D項(xiàng)文中沒(méi)有提到.故選D.
27.B  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段中的"Renters have to pay 1.60forthefirsthourand78 for 24 hours.The bikes are clearly designed for very short trips."B項(xiàng)正確.故選B.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀時(shí)經(jīng)常犯錯(cuò)的主要原因是,僅憑讀過(guò)文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來(lái)勾選答案,這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱.所謂閱讀理解,對(duì)于題目的理解一定要忠實(shí)于原文,因此,每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對(duì)比與核查,再得出答案.也就是說(shuō),閱讀理解的每一道題目,在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處,我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句,(1)排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項(xiàng)(2)排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項(xiàng)  (3)排除用于過(guò)于極端或負(fù)面的選項(xiàng)(4)注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除.

15.Not only fashion and music are making a return-houses built in 1970s have proven to be better at cutting energy waste than those built today.The"tea cosy (茶壺套)"design,created in the mid-1970s and built in the early 1980s for low-income people,could provide a blueprint for meeting the Government aims of producing less CO2 from homes.
The 200 houses were designed to provide low-energy housing,and depend on an inner concrete (水泥) structure that holds in heat,protected by highly insulated (隔熱的) setting which produces a"tea cosy"effect.The ordinary-looking houses also depend on more windows on south-facing sides,with northerly facing doors protected by porches (門(mén)廊).
A study found the houses are 50 percent more energy efficient than the average home and use a quarter of the average energy for space heating.According to researchers,they use less than two-thirds of the power of homes built to meet 2010 building demands.And they will still be 25 percent more efficient than houses built to even more strict proposed demands for 2013.The design is one of the few that will be able to meet 2016 demands for zero-carbon homes.
They were in the beginning fixed with just one or two gas heaters per home,although most now have central heating,depending on the heat from the sun and high insulation to keep steady temperatures inside the house.To be comfortable,they only need to use heating for three to four months a year,compared with seven months for UK home on average,and can be lived with no heating at all.
With many house builders at present worrying that new homes are going to be much more expensive to build in order to meet the Government's ambitious targets,the"tea cosy"model meets this need perfectly.
