1、 Module 2Traffic Jam(限时：35分钟)(对应学生用书第335页).阅读理解(2018合肥市高三质量检测)Cycling is well known to improve individual health and fitness; it also benefits the wider population in terms of economy，transport and environment.The EU promotes cycling via many measures primarily to achieve sustainable(可持续的)clean and
2、the energyefficient transport systems.However，despite the fact that the benefits outweigh the risks by 201，many consider the risks too great and that the fear of danger on the road needs to be handled.Cycle lanes(车道)have been used to improve cyclists safety and encourage more cyclists onto the road.
3、This research in transport aims to study the effect of cycle lanes on cyclists safety where passing space given by overtaking(超车)vehicles is concerned.In this study，the authors used a bicycle equipped with cameras to record vehicle overtaking in varying road situations to determine whether cycle lan
4、es，color block cycle lanes or no cycle lanes affect passing distances and cyclists safety.Their 3 comparisons measuring vehicle passing widths found greater overall distances given with a cycle lane than without.Color block vs.uncolored cycle lanes showed little or no difference，as did no cycle lane
5、s vs.color block cycle lanes.Color block lanes had a slight negative effect suggesting that drivers are more careful when cycle lanes have less definition(清晰度)Interestingly，the authors conclude that other factors have a far greater effect on cyclists safety than presence or absence of cycle lanes.Ro
6、ad width，parking，opposite vehicle flow and speed were key influences on decreased passing widths.The authors also note that driver behaviour is a hugely important factor and urge more research in this area.“In order to reduce risks and encourage more cycling，reducing and calming the existing motoris
7、ed traffic must be explored first.” They suggest，“Lane width is the most significant variable (变量)to achieve a sufficient vehicle passing distance.The narrow cycle lanes (2m) may be not enough.Reconsideration of the entire road design and further exploration of driver behavioural factors are require
8、d.”【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了为了实现可持续的清洁和节能的交通系统，欧盟大力推广使用自行车，并指出在自行车的推广过程中要解决安全的问题。1What is the main purpose of the EUs promoting cycling?ATo reduce air pollution.BTo build better transport systems.CTo improve peoples health.DTo help people save money on transport.B考查细节理解。根据第一段第二句“The EU promotes cycling via many
9、 measures primarily to achieve sustainable(可持续的)clean and energyefficient transport systems”可知，欧盟通过多种途径推广使用自行车主要是为了建立可持续的清洁和节能的交通系统，故B项正确。2According to the study，color block lanes may Amake drivers a bit carelessBcause no overtakingCget cyclists to feel saferDlead to greater passing distancesA考查推理判断
10、。根据第二段最后一句“Color block lanes had a slight negative effect suggesting that drivers are more careful when cycle lanes have less definition (清晰度)”可知，彩色车道有轻微的负面效应，当自行车车道清晰度较低时驾驶员要更小心。据此可以判断，彩色车道会使驾驶员变得粗心，故A项正确。3In the researchers eyes，the first step to encourage more cycling is to Aredesign and rebuild
11、the roads in a cityBdo more research in public bicycle programsCrestrict the number of vehicles running on the roadDmake strict traffic rules to control driver behaviourC考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“In order to reduce risks and encourage more cycling，reducing and calming the existing motorised traffic must be exp
12、lored first”可知，为了降低风险，鼓励更多地使用自行车，首先要减少现有的机动车辆，即控制路上的机动车的数量，故C项正确。4The authors of the research think that driver behaviour Aneeds further explorationBis an unimportant factorCmakes cycle lanes narrowerDis the most significant variableA考查细节理解。根据第三段的“Reconsideration of the entire road design and furthe
13、r exploration of driver behavioural factors are required”可知，需要对驾驶员的行为因素做进一步探索，故A项正确。 【导学号：44040187】.阅读七选五(2017山西八校联考)Selfconfident people face their fears headon and they know that no matter what obstacles come their way，they have the ability to get past them.Wouldnt it be amazing to have this kind
