① Living in China has made me realize how convenient life can be. It is much better than I ever thought, and it has completely changed my way of life.
② The moment I came to this country, a wave of pleasant surprise washed over me. The public travel system, especially in big cities, is great. The underground networks cover almost every part of big cities. People can get to where they want to go much faster. High-speed trains are another example of China’s wonderful transport system. Travelling between cities by high-speed train takes only a few hours, even for trips that used to take days.
③ Another great thing that stands out in China is the availability (可用性) of services. If my bike is broken and needs a repairman, or if I want to buy some daily things, I just need to make a phone call or tap on my smartphone. Since everything is available online, I no longer have to go far to the supermarket. Even late at night, I can get food sent to my door in just 30 minutes. It is one of the key reasons I have stayed in China for so long.
④ What’s more, China’s convenience doesn’t only lie in the availability of services, but also in their user-friendliness. For example, the apps that I use for travelling are easy to use, even for people who are not good at technology. Everything, including payment methods, is simple and direct. This makes it easy for everyone to get things done without difficulties. Even my 70-year-old grandma can use the apps to pay for things when she visits me.
⑤ The convenience in China has helped me get more things done. I can save a lot of time on daily tasks and use it to do more meaningful things. I think that with technological progress and the development of basic services, life in China will become more convenient in the future.

(2023·辽宁大连·中考真题)In Pontevedra, Spain, people don’t shout. Since cars are not allowed in the city, there are no horns(喇叭)or noises from car engines. People don’t have to try hard to make themselves heard. What you hear in the street, instead, is the singing of birds.
“Listen,” says Miguel Lores, the mayor(市长), opening the windows of his office. From the street below rises the sound of human voices. “More than 14,000 cars used to pass along this street every day. There were more cars passing through the city in a day than people living here.
Lores became mayor in 1999. He spent months walking around the city. “The historical city is dead,” he said one day. “It is full of cars. It is heavily polluted. There are a lot of traffic accidents. The elderly and children aren’t able to use the streets because of cars. People who had a chance to leave have done so.”
At first, Lores thought of improving traffic conditions. However, he couldn’t come up with a good plan. After lots of discussions, the government finally decided to get rid of(清除)cars.
The change has brought Pontevedra many benefits. Traffic accidents are now rare(罕见的). CO2 emissions(排放物)are down by 70%. Many people are moving to the city, making it lively again.
Most local people like the change. Ramiro Armesto, a mother of two young children, said, “In the past, the first thing to see in the morning was traffic jams. Now, the city is cleaner, quieter and safer.” Raquel Garcia, another parent, said she had stayed in many cities around the world. However, she had never lived in a city as “easy to live in” as Pontevedra. “Even if it’s raining, I walk everywhere. The feeling is wonderful,” she added.
1.From Paragraph 1, we know Pontevedra is a(n) ________ city in Spain.
A.ancient B.quiet C.busy D.crowded
2.For Lores, what was the city Pontevedra’s main problem?
A.The historical city was dead. B.There were lots of traffic accidents.
C.Many people were leaving the city. D.There were too many cars in the city.
3.The underlined word “benefits” probably means “________” in English.
A.choices B.advantages C.problems D.symbols
4.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To show how people like the change. B.To let more cities follow the change.
C.To explain what people think of the city. D.To tell why people like living in Pontevedra.
5.What is the best title of the passage?

【导语】本文主要讲述了西班牙的城市——蓬特韦德拉发生的巨大变化。
1.推理判断题。根据“In Pontevedra, Spain, people don’t shout...What you hear in the street, instead, is the singing of birds.”可知,蓬特韦德拉是西班牙的一个安静的城市,没有汽车的喧嚣,故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据“It is full of cars. It is heavily polluted....People who had a chance to leave have done so.”可知,对Lores来说,蓬特韦德拉的主要问题是汽车太多了,故选D。
3.词义猜测题。根据“Traffic accidents are now rare(罕见的). CO2 emissions(排放物)are down by 70%. Many people are moving to the city, making it lively again.”可知,交通事故现在很少见了。二氧化碳排放量下降了70%。许多人搬到这个城市,使它又活跃起来了。这是这个城市禁止汽车之后的好处,所以单词“benefits”指的是“优点”,故选B。
4.段落大意题。根据“Most local people like the change.”以及整段的理解可知,本段主要是为了显示人们对这种变化的喜爱,故选A。
5.最佳标题题。根据“In Pontevedra, Spain, people don’t shout. Since cars are not allowed in the city, there are no horns(喇叭)or noises from car engines.”以及全文内容可知,本文主要讲述了蓬特德韦德拉从一个街上挤满汽车到变成街上没有汽车行驶的城市,并讲述了街上没有汽车的好处,以及这一变化获得了当地居民的支持。所以本文的最佳标题是“没有汽车的城市”。故选A。
