Igus CEO Frank Blasé first got the idea while vacationing on a Florida beach in 2009.A conversation with some employees from a rental company made him aware of the challenges of maintaining beach bicycles.The continuous exposure to sand，wind and salt water caused the bikes to rust(生锈) rapidly.Many had to be replaced in only three months. The igus：bike，unveiled at a German trade show，is maintainable and rust-free.It can be left outdoors in all weathers and does not require lubricant oil(润滑油) to reduce friction between parts.Since it does not attract sand，dust or dirt，the bike can be cleaned with a garden hose(水管) in seconds. “As all components are made of plastic，no part of the bike rusts，even the gears—bicycle gears made of plastic were unthinkable for a long time，” Blasé says. The igus：bike will also help combat the world’s plastic pollution.The company says a single adult bike gives new life to about 16 kilograms of single-use plastic that would otherwise choke our landfills or waterways. Currently,90 percent of the igus：bike is made using recycled plastic.This includes the bicycle’s frame，bearings，pedals and wheel rims.Igus and MTRL believe future versions will be made entirely from recycled plastic. “From ocean plastics to motion plastics—the igus：bike concept has what it takes to become a high-tech ecological product，” says MTRL co-founder Benjamin Alderse Baas. The plastic bikes are expected to come onto the market in 2023.An adult model，made entirely from recycled plastic，will cost about 1,400.A slightly cheaper version made using new plastic and an electric bike are also in the works.Igus also plans on sharing its technology with other bicycle manufacturers. 4．What made Igus CEO Frank Blas seek to create the igus：bike? A．His holidaying in Florida last year. B．The conversation between him and some bicyclers. C．The trouble of keeping beach bicycles in good condition. D．The prolonged exposure of bikes on the beach. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。由文章第二段内容可知，他在度假时了解到沙滩自行车很难维护，所以想要改变这一情况，这是他要制作igus：bike的原因，故选C。 5．What can we learn about the igus：bike from the text? A．It will certainly sell well. B．It needs to be more portable. C．It can be used everywhere and freely. D．It is rustless and cleans easily. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。由文章第三段中的“The igus：bike...is maintainable and rust-free.”和“can be cleaned with a garden hose(水管) in seconds”可知，这款单车不易生锈且易于清洗，故选D。 6．What can be inferred about the future plastic bikes? A．They will be cheaper and lighter. B．They will be more high-tech economical. C．They will be crafted from only recycled plastics. D．They will be used widely all over the world. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据文章第六段中的“Igus and MTRL believe future versions will be made entirely from recycled plastic.”可知，未来的塑料单车有望完全由回收塑料制成，故选C。 7．What is the text mainly about? A．A bike made from recycled plastics. B．How to make rust-free bikes. C．An excellent bicycle manufacturer. D．How to maintain beach bikes. 答案　A 解析　主旨大意题。 综合分析文章可知，文章主要介绍了这款由回收塑料制成的单车的构想起源、优势、研发现状以及发展前景，因此，全文主要是介绍这款由回收塑料制成的单车，故选A。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
