　　2016年3月全國(guó)英語(yǔ)等級(jí)考試二級(jí)真題及答案(補(bǔ)全文章)

　　根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

　　You might be surprised to know that bicycles have existed for about two hundred years, but no one is sure who first made this popular two-wheeled machine.

　　31 The front wheel was much bigger than the back one, and also there weren't any pedals (踏板), Riders had to move themselves forward by pushing their feet against the ground.

　　32 In 1879 an Englishman had the idea of connecting them to the back wheel with a chain.Gears(此輪), which made things much easier for those cycling uphill, first appeared in the 1890s.

　　There are now about one billion bicycles in the world.33 They have to compete with cars on the streets of all the world' s cities, and the two forms of transport don' t always mix well.In London in 2005, for example, over 300 cyclists were either killed or seriously hurt in accidents.

　　Because bicycles are much more environmentally friendly than cars, now many governments encourage people to ride rather than drive. 34 The number of yearly journeys made by bicycle in London has increased 50% over the last five years.

　　However, although one in three British people owns a bicycle, they still don't use them nearly as much as they could 35 .

　　It is hoped that more people will rely on bicycles to move around.The reasons are obvious--cycling helps to protect the environment, keep us fit, and it is often not only cheaper but also quicker than travelling by car in many cases.

　　A.Pedals fmally arrived in the 1840s.

　　B.Cycling is on the rise in the Unilted Kingdom.

　　C.Bicycles are used for only 2 % of journeys in the UK.

　　D.The first person who made a bicycle was an Englishman.

　　E.The number of bicycles is twice more than that of cars.

　　F.The early models didn' t look much like the bicycles of today.

　　G.Cycling helps improve people's health.

　　你可能會(huì)驚訝于自行車(chē)已有兩百年的歷史了，但是沒(méi)有人知道是誰(shuí)發(fā)明了這個(gè)如此受歡迎的兩個(gè)輪子的機(jī)器。

　　(31)早期的自行車(chē)并不是現(xiàn)在的樣式。前輪比后輪大很多，而且沒(méi)有踏板。騎乘的人要靠?jī)赡_蹬地才能使自行車(chē)前行。

　　(32)踏板出現(xiàn)于十九世紀(jì)四十年代。l897年，一位英國(guó)人想到用鏈條將踏板和后輪連接起來(lái)。十九世紀(jì)九十年代，齒輪被首次運(yùn)用于自行車(chē)，這使得自行車(chē)能夠更輕松地行駛于上坡路段。

　　現(xiàn)在世界上大約有十億輛自行車(chē)。(33)它們的數(shù)量是汽車(chē)的兩倍多.在所有城市的街道上，自行車(chē)都不得不和汽車(chē)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，而且作為兩大主要交通方式，它們相處的并不融洽。例如2005年在倫敦，有超過(guò)300名騎自行車(chē)的人在交通事故中傷亡。

　　由于自行車(chē)比汽車(chē)更加環(huán)保安全，如今很多政府鼓勵(lì)人們騎自行車(chē)而不是開(kāi)車(chē)。(34)在英國(guó)，自行車(chē)的數(shù)量正在增加。在過(guò)去的五年里，英國(guó)騎自行車(chē)旅游人的數(shù)量增加了50%。

　　然而，盡管每三個(gè)英國(guó)人里就有一個(gè)人有自行車(chē)，但是他們使用的頻率不夠高。(35)騎自行車(chē)旅行的人只占到英國(guó)旅行人數(shù)總量的2%。希望更多的人騎自車(chē)旅行。理由很明顯——自行車(chē)非常環(huán)保，騎自行車(chē)能保持身體健康，而且在很多情況下，騎自行車(chē)出行要比開(kāi)汽車(chē)更便宜也更快捷。

　　31.F【精析】根據(jù)下文說(shuō)自行車(chē)的前后輪大小不一，說(shuō)明早期自行車(chē)與現(xiàn)代車(chē)的差別較大，此處應(yīng)是早期自行車(chē)的樣式與現(xiàn)在不同。故F正確。

　　32.A【精析】下文提到有人用鏈條將后輪與“them”連接，可見(jiàn)之前應(yīng)該是自行車(chē)上的部件，而且是復(fù)數(shù)的名詞。故A正確。

　　33.E【精析】上文說(shuō)明自行車(chē)的數(shù)量較多，下文提到自行車(chē)和汽車(chē)進(jìn)行比較。各選項(xiàng)中只有E將自行車(chē)的數(shù)量與汽車(chē)的數(shù)量進(jìn)行了比較。故E正確。

　　34.B【精析】上文提及使用自行車(chē)的好處，下文提及騎自行車(chē)旅行數(shù)量的增加，只有B提到了數(shù)量增加。故B正確。

　　35.C【精析】根據(jù)上下文，此處內(nèi)容應(yīng)該為轉(zhuǎn)折，說(shuō)明擁有自行車(chē)的人不在少數(shù)，但使用率不高。故C正確。
