第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
You’ve probably tried easy center-city Beijing rides if you enjoy riding. Now it’s time to level up your rides so they will take you out into the countryside and attractive mountains.

Approximate distance:100km loop(环线)
It may sound terrifying but Beijing’s cyclists named this northern route “Death Valley” because of the huge tomb it passes, not the number of on-road accidents it has seen. In reality, it’s the closest, mostly car-free loop to the city center and great for really stretching your legs.
Tuesday/Thursday TTT
Approximate distance: 54km loop
While it’s not particularly scenic, there are few traffic lights, and the roads are not too busy and have adequate bike lanes on each side, making it a relatively trouble-free ride. If you’d like to ride with group, seek out early morning Beijing rider groups and join them on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 5am or 6 am depending on the season.
The Verse
Approximate distance:120km loop
It passes a cafe with good(although expensive)food and even high-end accommodation, but the best part is their super welcoming attitude towards cyclists. It’s a hike that is well worth the effort, as you are rewarded with amazing views of the Great Wall upon arrival and a ride back that is mostly downhill.
Tongzhou Grand Canal Forest Park
Approximate distance:70km loop
This park is the closest place for riders to enjoy the Grand Canal from Beijing. The Grand Canal is a true wonder in China, and one of the greatest civil engineering projects in history. The oldest parts of it date back to the 5th century B. C. It will be a fun ride here.

A. It offers deadly loops for cars. B. It is located in an isolated place.
C. It
