牛津译林版八年级上学期期中复习 查缺补漏冲刺满分 (名校最新期中真题) 专题04 阅读理解20篇 （2022秋·江苏扬州·八年级统考期中）People are beginning looking for ways of getting around that didn’t involve crowded (拥挤的) forms of public transportation because of the corona virus pandemic (新冠病毒流行). Biking happens in the open air, and the chance of catching the corona virus while riding is very low, so biking is seen as a safe way to travel. Biking has also grown more popular because it’s one of the few forms of exercise that has been allowed during many lockdowns. With gyms and fitness centers shut down, biking fills a need for many active people. Families like biking, too. With schools closed, and kids unable to hang out with their friends, biking is a welcome activity. For many people, that’s the main point—biking is fun. But bikes are also practical. Experts say that for people in some cities, nearly 60% of their trips can be made by bike. Many cities are seeing this as a chance to make their streets safer and greener. Cities around the world are adding miles of bike lanes to their streets to encourage (鼓励) biking. New York says it will close off up to 100 miles of roads so they can be used by bikers and walkers. Oakland, California plans to close 74 miles to traffic—that’s almost 10% of the streets in the city. Paris has set up over 400 miles of new bike lanes (车道). Cars and trucks have been banned from 75 miles of streets in Bogota, Colombia. In Milan Italy, 22 miles of its roads have been converted (转变). Though many of these bike lanes are only being added for a short time, if changes in biking habits become permanent, they could seriously cut down car traffic and help make cities a lot greener. 1．According to the passage, biking has grown popular because ________.      ① biking is a safe way to travel during the pandemic ② biking is much cheaper than public transportation ③ many cities add miles of bike lanes ④ riding is a way to get exercise during lockdowns ⑤ riding is both fun and practical A．①③④⑤ B．①②④⑤ C．①②③④ D．②③
