of cycle paths into bike highways in an effort to push more commuters (上下班往返的人) to leave their
cars at home.
Considered one of Europe’s two “bicycle capitals” along with Amsterdam, Copenhagen counts more
bicycles than people and cycling is so popular that its numerous bike paths can become congested.
Two-wheeler traffic jams are especially regular on the main Noerrebrogade thoroughfare (大街)
used by around 36,000 cyclists a day. “You have to elbow your way (挤过去) to go forward and some
cyclists aren’t always thoughtful,” complains 22-year-old university student Lea Bresell.
The creation of bike highways “comes right on time”, says Danish Cyclist Federation spokesman
Frits Bredal. “Copenhagen’s roads are overloaded with people who want to ride their bicycles in all
kinds of weather,” he says.
If in the 1960s Danes viewed the car as the symbol of freedom, the bicycle has assumed that role
today, Bredal says.
"It’s a means of transportation used by all social classes, and even politicians ride bikes,” he says.
It is on crowded Noerrebrogade - the busiest bicycle street in Europe - that city planners have
decided to build the first of Copenhagen’s environmentally friendly streets. The jammed bike paths will
be widened up to four meters on either side of the road, which will itself be reserved for buses only.
The idea is to make Noerrebrogade “Europe’s great cycling street”, says Andreas Roehl, the
Copenhagen city’s bicycle program manager who is also known as “Mister Bike”.
But Roehl is not content with making life easier for Copenhagen’s inner city cyclists: He wants to get
suburbanites (郊区居民) out of their cars and onto two wheels as well.
His goal is to increase the percentage of suburban commuters cycling to and from the city from the 33
percent it is today to more than 50 percent by 2015. Within the city, 55 percent of all commuters already
travel by bike.
Already Copenhagen stands out among other European capitals for its cycling infrastructure, counting
more than 390 kilometers of bike paths.
B. Copenhagen is planning to build highways.
C. Copenhagen is one of Europe’s two “bicycle capitals”.
D. Two-wheeler traffic jams are especially common in Copenhagen.
B. Terrible
C. Cyclists are considerate
D. Bike paths are not made full use of
B. hiking is very common in Copenhagen
C. cars will not be allowed to run on the widened Noerrebrogade thoroughfare
D. Noerrebrogade thoroughfare will be deserted
B. Almost all the suburban commuters take buses.
C. Few suburban commuters travel by car.
D. About one third of the suburban commuters travel by bike.
B. Copenhagen has the longest history among European capitals.
C. Copenhagen has the largest population among European capitals.
D. Copenhagen is the biggest in size among European capitals.

putting about the same pressure on the grourid as an average-size person sitting in a chair, the tower
wasn"t meant to stand there forever. Gustave-Alexandre Eiffel, the French engineer whose fame rested
mainly on his iron bridges, built it for the 1889 Universal Exhibition. Praised by some and denounced by
others, the tower created much argument in the 1880s. What saved it from being torn down was the
arrival of radio-as the tallest structure in Europe,it made a perfect spot to place a radio antenna
The tower,including its antenna.is 317m high. On a clear day you can see it from 65km away. An
open-framework construction, the tower unlocked the almost unlimited possibilities of steel construction,
making the way for skyscrapers (摩天大楼). Some people said it couldn"t be built, and Eiffel actually
wanted to make it go higher. For years it remained the tallest man-made structure on earth, until
skyscrapers such as the Empire State Building came into being.
We could fill an entire page with statistics (数据) . ( Its plans covered 5,400 sq. m of paper, and it
contains 2.5 million nails. ) But forget the numbers. Just stand under the tower, and look straight up. lt"s
like a rocket shooting into the sky.
In 2004 it became possible to ice-skate inside the Eiffel Tower, doing figure eights while taking in
views of the rooftops of Paris. Skating takes place on an observation platform 57m above ground. The
rink is a bit larger than an average tennis court, holding 80 skaters at once. Rink admission and skate
rental are free,once you pay the entry fee below.
B. an advertisement
C. a news story
D. a study report
B. impressed
C. spoken poorly of
D. admired
B. about the fantastic view of the tower
C. not to keep the numbers in mind
D. not to pay attention to the shape
B. The tower went high for its open steel structure.
C. A radio station stopped the tower from being destroyed.
D. Ice-skating is permitted on top of the Eiffel tower.

| Barbie (芭比娃娃),believe it or not,is 50 this year and she"s still as popular as ever. A doll is a doll,but Barbie illustrates how,over the last five decades,women have become a standard for judging what freedom really means. How women are treated in different countries tells you a lot about the politics and culture of where they live. The doll that every little girl wants enables young children to test their possibilities in role playing,giving them a glimpse of what they might be when they grow up,whether to be frivolous or serious (or both)． But in many countries that"s not an option. In Saudi Arabia,where woman can"t drive or go out publicly unless covered,Barbie is banned. They think Barbie dolls are offensive to Islam (伊斯兰教) and a threat to morality. In America,she represents the swiftly changing roles of women. Barbie is fun to tease but she"s as American as miniskirts_and_pantsuits in her flexible identities and her "growth" from model to astronaut. Barbie inspired a dollrevolution movement. When a Teen Talk Barbie was programmed electronically to say "Math class is tough",she was criticized by a national women"s group and was regarded as a bad stereotype. Some of her critics also say she"s a bad influence because she"s too thin and encourages anorexia,that she has run through too many stereotypes,and that she lends too much significance to the fantasy stages of child"s play. In some Muslim countries,substitute Barbie dolls have been developed that promote traditional values,with their modest clothing and profamily backgrounds. They are widely seen as an effort to resist the American dolls that have flooded the market. Toyseller Masounmen Rahimi welcomed the dolls,saying Barbie was "foreign to Muslim culture" because some of the dolls have little clothing. She said young girls who play with Barbie,could grow into women who reject Muslim values. "I think every Barbie doll is more harmful than an American missile," Ms Rahimi said. | |||
