Bike Share Toronto is the city's official bike share program, designed to give locals and visitors a fun, affordable and convenient alternative to walking, taxis, buses and the subway. There are 200 Bike Share Toronto stations and 2,000 bikes across the city, making Bike Share the most accessible way to get around and explore.

How it works

·Become an Annual Member or buy a Day Pass to access the system.

·Find an available bike nearby, and get a ride code or use your member key to unlock it.

·Take as many short rides as you want while your pass or membership is active.

·Return your bike to any station, and wait for the green light to make sure it's locked.

Choose a plan

·For visitors

Day Pass: $7. Unlimited 30­minute rides in a 24­hour period.

3­Day Pass: $15. Unlimited 30­minute rides in a 72­hour period.

·For locals

Monthly Pass: $25. Unlimited 30­minute rides for a month.

Annual Membership: $90. Unlimited 30­minute rides for a whole year. The Annual Membership is the best deal for locals of Toronto and other frequent riders.

The first 30 minutes of each ride is included with the membership or pass price. Avoid extra fees by dropping off your bike every 30 minutes at any other station. If you keep a bike out for longer than 30 minutes at a time, you will be charged an extra $1.50 for the first 30 minutes over, $4 for the next 30 minutes, and $7 for each additional 30 minutes after that.

答案：A

2．Which is the most suitable choice for locals to access the system in Toronto?

A．Day Pass.　　　　 B．3­Day Pass.

C．Monthly Pass.  D．Annual Membership.

3．How much will the extra fee be if you travel for two hours by bike?

A．$5.5.  B．$9.5.

C．$12.5.  D．$15.5.

解析：细节理解题。根据Choose a plan部分中的“The first 30 minutes of each ride is included with the membership or pass price. Avoid extra fees by dropping off your bike every 30 minutes at any other station. If you keep a bike out for longer than 30 minutes at a time, you will be charged an extra $1.50 for the first 30 minutes over, $4 for the next 30 minutes, and $7 for each additional 30 minutes after that.”可知，使用共享单车2小时的前30分钟的费用包括在单车卡里，而剩下的90分钟的费用为：$1.50＋$4＋$7＝$12.5，因此如果你骑自行车旅行两小时，额外的费用是12.5美元。

B

Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can't make us tired. It sounds absurd. But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲劳)．To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins (毒素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.

So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?

Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional attitudes.  One of England's most outstanding scientists, J. A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further.  He declares,  “One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”

What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated—those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue.  We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.

[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。科学家们发现，大脑可以工作很长时间却不会感到疲劳，真正让脑力工作者感到疲劳的是情感：无聊、愤怒、焦虑、紧张、担心以及不被欣赏的感觉。

4．What surprised the scientists a few years ago?

A．Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer's blood.

B．Albert Einstein didn't feel worn out after a day's work.

C．The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.

D．A mental worker's blood was filled with fatigue toxins.

解析：细节理解题。根据文章前两段，特别是第一段中的“To the amazement of these scientists，they discovered that blood passing through the brain，when it is active，shows no fatigue at all！”可知，大脑可以长时间工作而不会感到疲劳，这一发现让科学家感到很吃惊。

答案：C

5．According to the author, which of the following can  make  sitting  workers tired?

A．Challenging mental work.

B．Unpleasant emotions.

C．Endless tasks.

D．Physical labor.

解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“A feeling of being bored，anger，anxiety，tenseness，worry，a feeling of not being appreciated—those are the emotions that tire sitting workers.”可知，无聊、愤怒、焦虑、紧张、担心以及不被欣赏等不愉快的情绪会让人感到疲劳。

答案：B

6．What's the author's attitude towards the scientists' ideas?
