More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for the environment. Maybe that’s why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!

Get on a bicycle and ride around your neighborhood. You may discover something new all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. You can bike to work and benefit (受益) from the enjoyable exercise without polluting the environment. You don’t even have to ride all the way.

Folding bikes work well for people who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. You can do the same on an airplane. A folding bike can be packed in a suitcase. You can also take a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by getting on airline websites. Not all airlines are bicycle-friendly to travelers.

科目:初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2016屆浙江紹興浣江教育集團(tuán)初三下3月份段測(cè)英語(yǔ)試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

閱讀下面四篇材料,然后從A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

I don’t have too many memories of my father because he was so sick in the last years of his life. But there are some that I am often reminded of and which may have developed my love of science.

When I was small, I was somewhat afraid of lightning and thunder(雷). My father explained it. The explanation was in words that a child could understand but was basically correct. I gained a better understanding and learnt something from him.

What he said was that there was electricity in the clouds and it traveled to the ground like a spark(火花). When it traveled through the air, it made the air so hot that it burned. Then there was nothing where the air had been and the air all around rushed in to fill the space. Saying this, he clapped his hands together very loudly, pretending to be the air rushing in, and said that makes the thunder. When I hear thunder, I can still hear that clap clearly.

He also explained why a cloudy winter night was warmer than a clear one. When there were clouds, they were like blankets(毛毯) which kept the earth and us warm. He said that if there were no clouds, we had no blankets and were exposed to the universe. Our warmth was going to heat the whole universe. Even today, I still feel on the edge of space on a very clear night.

I am sure there were many other lessons that I took but no longer remember most of them now. What I did learn, in general, was that there were explanations and that the more I understood them, the more comfortable the world was to live in. I was not taught that there were mysteries but that there was understanding if you looked for it. This may be why I have always taken an interest in science.
