Question

       Copenhagen, one of the world’s most bicycle-friendly cities, has begun turning its extensive network 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 (擠過去) 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 (郊區居民) 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.

Answer 1

61.A主旨大意題。文章的第一段是本文的主題所在，再結合接下來的內容可知本文主要講丹麥首都哥本哈根計劃將現有的自行車車道改建為自行車上下班，故A項最佳。

62.B細節理解題。根據第三段第二句中的You have to elbow your way (擠過去) to go forward and some eyclists aren’t always thoughtful 可知 Lea Bresell 認為主干道諾勒布羅加德街的自行車道交通現狀是糟糕的。

63.C推理判斷題。根據第七段最后一句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 可知主干道諾勒布羅加德街兩旁分別加寬4米作為自行車專用道，主干道將作為公交車專用道。故可判斷諾勒布羅加德街加寬后不充許小汽車通行。

64.D細節理解題。根據倒數第二段第一句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. 可知郊區騎自行車上下班的人數目前只有33%，故線D項。

65.A細節理解題。根據最后一段Already Copenhagen stands out among other European capitals for its cycling infrastructure, counting more than 390 kilometers of bike paths 可知與其他歐洲國家的首都相比，丹麥相比，丹麥首都哥本哈根的自行車道最長。

　 【解題導語】這是一篇環保類說明文。由于人類采取了一系列的保護措施，某些瀕危動物的數量逐漸增加，但對于人類來說保持物種多樣性任重道玩。

　 【長難句解讀】（I）Losses in these groups would have been about 20 percent greater had it not been for recent action of protection. 這是一個表示與過去事實相反的虛擬語氣的句子，虛擬條件句中的if省略，而將had 提前，正常語序是：Losses in these groups would have been about 20 percent greater if it had not been for recent action of protection.

　 (2)Two new goals set by the group are to designate (指定) 10 percent of the world’s ocean and 17 percent of land environments as protected areas to help increase endangered-animal population.

　 盡管這個句子很長，卻是一個簡單句，句子的主語是Two new goals, set by the group 是過去分詞短語作后置定語, are to designate 是句子的謂語，to help increase endangered-animal population 是不定式短語作目的狀語。
