if youre traveling to work, a folding bike such as one of the models here is suitable unless youre cycling more than a couple of miles, in which case it might be uncomfortable. you can take a fold-up on the train and as it goes indoors with you, its safe. for longer journeys, a road bike with drop handlebars and narrow tyres(轮胎) is a good choice. try specialized, from 400. note that the riding position encourages you to look downwards, which can be dangerous. mountain bikes are best suited to off-road travel; their fat and strong tyres are good for climbing steep, muddy slopes(斜坡). good brands include trek and giant, with prices starting at less than 300. a hybrid bike(halfway between a mountain bike and a road bike) is a good compromise(折中) with more upright riding position and thin, fast tyres. ridgeback makes great hybrids, from around 350. for a classic sit-up-and-beg bike, its still hard to beat pashley, which makes its bikes by hand. expect to pay around 500. once youve picked your bike, sizing is crucial or you may suffer back or neck pain. a famous bike shop will help you choose the right size frame. the height of the seat should be adjusted carefully-again, a good shop will advise. if you only plan to cycle once or twice a month, you can choose a lower-priced bike, but for regular use, paying more means better quality: cheaper bikes need more frequent adjustment of brakes and gears (刹车和齿轮) -and tend to be heavier, too. finally, items such as mudguards(挡泥板) arent always included. 56. the man purpose of this passage is to . a. encourage people to go to work by bike b. advertise some famous bike brandsc. give advice on how to choose a bike d. introduce the advantages of different bikes 57. according to the passage, which kind of bike is least likely to be stolen? a. a folding bike. b. a road bike. c. a mountain bike. d. a hybrid bike. 58. which companys bikes are handmade? a. giants. b. specializeds. c. ridgebacks d. pashleys. 59. from the last paragraph, we can know that . a. a cheap bike is fit for regular use b. a cheap bike may not have mudguardsc. an expensive bike may be heavier than a cheap oned. you may suffer back or neck pain riding a cheap bikebfor many visitors, rides are what theme parks are all about. much has changed since the early days of roller coasters; today rides are wilder and scarier than ever. the cars run faster, the tracks are higher, and you must be ready to go through twists, loops and drops. some roller coasters even let you race against your friends; two tracks are next to each other and you fly through the air just meters away from your friends. other roller coasters are inside a mountain or a building so that you ride through darkness.another attraction found in many theme parks is the thrill ride. like roller coasters, thrill rides let you enjoy a good scream as you experience something exciting. instead of rolling, twisting and looping like the roller coasters, thrill rides use technology and special effects to give you a thrill. some thrill rides will let you feel what it is like to fall through the air: you sit in a car that “falls” from a tall tower and you scream your way down to a safe landing.thrill rides can also send you into space or deep down into the ocean. you sit in a car that rocks and shakes while you watch a large screen in front of you. you can feel what it is like to live in space, walk on the ocean floor or ski with polar bears at the north pole. the only limit to the fun is the imagination of the designers of the thrill rides and it seems to be endless!( )60. what does a thrill ride use to give people a thrill ?a. speed. b. special effects. c. motion. d. all the above( )61.you can experience the following in the thrill ride except .a. falling through the air b. racing against your friendsc. living in space d. walking on the ocean floor( )62. what does the underlined sentence mean? a. the imagination of designers is limited. b. you can never get enough fun.c. the fun of the thrill rides is endless. d. you can do what you like.cwhen walt disney was young, he loved to draw. but his father had many jobs for him to do, “stop all that drawing!” old disney would say, “theres work to be done.”when he was older, walt decided to make art his career. he worked hard at drawing cartoons. when he had time, he studied art. he began to make cartoon movies. but he didnt have much money and he didnt always have enough to eat.sometimes when he worked in his little office, a mouse would run near his desk.“would you like to be my pet?” walt asked the mouse. he caught the mouse and kept him as a pet. he called him mortimer.“im making a cartoon about a mouse named mortimer,” he told his wife.“mortimer mouse? i think mickey mouse would be a better name,” she said.“youre right! it would.”disney made many mickey mouse cartoons. people all over the world saw mickey and loved him, mickey mouse made walt disney famous. then came donald duck and others.walt began to make full-length cartoons. one was snow white and the seven dwarfs. both old and young loved snow white and the funny little men. then walt made movies for tv. millions of children watched the shows every week.walt dreamed of making a beautiful park that adults as well as children would like. “my park would be alive and exciting. and it would be clean and safe. theyd come from far and near to see it.” his dreams came true with disneyland. in 1955, he opened a wonderful land of make-believe in california. real boats, trains, mountains, rivers-all in one beautiful park. millions of people came to disneyland.years later, disney world was built. walt disney now had another wonderful world of fun in florida.walt disney died in 1966, but the world will not forget him. mickey mouse and all his friends will help us to remember him.( )63. young walt couldnt do what he liked to because he had to .a. go to school every day b. help his mother with some houseworkc. do a lot of work for his father d. cook for the family( )64. when walt got older, he decided to .a. become a tv writer b. make art his careerc. build a beautiful park for children d. do anything his father liked( )65. what made walt so successful?a. his love of art and diligence. b. his early jobs to help his father.c. his wifes support to his career. d. his fathers love of art.( )66. which of the following description of the first disneyland is not true?a. its clean and safe. b. all the boats, rivers and mountains are real.c. its was opened in california in 1955. d. its liked only by children.dfinns, who introduced a birch-tree sweetener(增甜剂)for gum, have found that the habit of chewing sticky lumps (块)dates back thousands of years. students in western finland found a piece of stone age birch-bark tar, believed to have been used for chewing and to fix broken arrowheads or clay dishes, archaeologists said.“most likely the lump was used as an old kind of chewing gum,” said sami viljamaa, an archaeologist who led the dig near oulu, some 380 miles north of the capital, helsinki. “but its main purpose was to fix things.”viljamaa said the piece of neolithic gum was found among things like dishes and jewelry, in a stone age village at the kierikki stone age center. “its somewhere between 5,500 and 6,000 years old,” he said.the ancient finnish habit of chewing gum surged in the 1980s when finnish scientists discovered that gum containing xylitol(木糖醇)，a natural sweetener found in plant tissue including birch trees, prevents tooth decay. schools began to give xylitol gum free to children after meals, and sales of chewing gum almost doubled during five years as xylitols popularity grew.the ancient gum was found by british student sarah pickin, who was assisted by four other students at the sit, viljamaa said. “they also found an amber ring and a slate arrowhead, which were great finds.” he added.( )67. which of the following statements is not true?
