26、   Portland, Oregon, just got another reason to call itself “Bike City USA”.

UPS has started a trial program to deliver packages there using an electric-powered bicycle. The environmentally friendly Cargo Cruiser is a tricycle with a large brown box on the back. Like any electronic bike, the Cargo Cruiser can be powered by foot, motor, or a combination of both.

UPS began testing e-Bikes in Hamburg, Germany, in 2012, but this is the first time the technology has been used for package deliveries in the United States.

The e-Bikes support UPS’s efforts to reduce its carbon emissions, ease urban noise levels, and improve air quality. The amount of energy to be saved by using e-Bikes hasn’t been quantified, but the test vehicle in Portland “will probably displace about two gallons of fuel every day”, said Scott Phillippi, UPS’s engineering manager.

Phillippi says that one e-Bike alone won't create a huge difference in UPS’s carbon emissions, but he describes it as “a piece of our overall strategy” as far as environmental impacts and efficiencies.

It also ties into the company’s broader strategy to settle a problem that troubles Portland and other cities around the world: traffic jam. According to UPS, traffic jam costs it hundreds of millions of dollars a year in additional operating costs. The time when the average UPS delivery truck is stuck in traffic is about 16 minutes a day, slowing its deliveries and increasing the company's carbon emissions.

The pilot program is in its early stages and already has hit its first stage: ice storms pulled trees and branches down all over the city, blocking bike lanes and making travel dangerous. How do e-Bikes deal with it?

If the trial proves successful, you may be able to see UPS delivery people wearing bike shorts in other places around the country, “Other cities have expressed some interest,” Phillippi said.

【1】What is typical of the e-Bikes in Portland?

A.Making less noise. B.Delivering packages.

C.Carrying a box on the back. D.Producing power by foot.

【2】What might be the disadvantage of the e-Bikes?

A.It is powered by foot or motor.

B.It's easily stuck in the traffic jam.

C.Obstacles on the lane may hold back the e-Bikes.

D.The amount of energy to be saved hasn’t been quantified.

【3】What is the main idea of the passage?

A.A solution to traffic jam.

B.A pilot program in the USA.

C.The e-Bikes springing around the world.

D.The e-Bikes test for deliveries in Portland.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A.To entertain. B.To advertise.

C.To inform. D.To persuade.

27、There really are apps for everything, and some could end up saving your life.

What3 words

This free download is one of a growing number of smartphone apps that could mean the difference between life and death. What3 words divides the world into 3×3 metre squares, giving each one a unique combination of three words. This allows emergency services — or anyone else you give the location to — to reach you if you have an Internet connection. It is used by emergency services in the UK and other countries and has saved thousands of lives.

WhatsApp

Lots of us use WhatsApp for messaging and calling, but do you know it also has a Live Location feature that can let a loved one know your whereabouts in case you’re in danger?

You can simply press the “+” key in a chat, select “Location”, and then press “Share Live Location”, which enables any participant in the chat to see your location in real time for the period you choose.

Stay Alive

With mental health problems on the increase, this suicide prevention app could be extremely helpful. Developed by Grassroots Suicide Prevention, it offers a wealth of resources, ranging from ways of staying calm when you feel upset or have other bad moods, to breathing exercises and direct links to national and local crisis resources. And this app doesn’t ask for an Internet connection to get the information.

St John Ambulance First Aid

28、   Las Vegas city in Nevada is built in a desert. The city may be known to the outside world for its partying. But officials have found that there are 21 square kilometers of useless grass. The grass is never laid on, played on or even stepped on. The grass is only there to look nice.

Now, the city is asking the Nevada state legislature to ban useless grass. It is trying to become the first place in America to ban that kind of grass often seen between streets, in housing developments and in office parks.

It is estimated that useless grass makes up 40% of all the grass in Las Vegas and it needs a lot of water to survive. Grass needs four times more water than dry climate plants like cactus. By tearing out the grass, the city could reduce yearly water usage by 15%.

In 2003, the Southern Nevada Water Authority banned developers from planting grass in front of new homes. It also offered homeowners $ 30 for each square meter of grass they tear out. But fewer people are now using the program. Water usage has increased in southern Nevada by 9% since 2019. And last year, Las Vegas went a record 240 days without major rainfall. The Colorado River provides much of Nevada's drinking water. The river could lose more water as climate change affects it.

Water officials in other dry cities said water usage needs to be reduced. But they fear the reaction to reforms like the ones in Las Vegas if their communities do not accept them. Cynthia Campbell is the water resources adviser for the city of Phoenix in Arizona. “There might come a point when city restrictions get too severe for some residents. They'll say that is the point of no return for them,” Campbell said. “For some people, it's a pool. For some people, it's grass.”

【1】Why does Las Vegas city try to ban useless grass?

A．To protect the local people.

B．To beautify the city.

C．To reduce water usage.

D．To reduce waste.

【2】What program was carried out in Las Vegas in 2003?

A．Allowing planting grass before new houses.

B．Encouraging the residents to tear out grass.

C．Praising those who signed on the program.

D．Awarding those who reduced water usage.

【3】What is implied in Campbell's words in the last paragraph?

A．Many residents won't follow the ban.

B．Reaction to the reform will vary personally.

C．Other measures should be taken to protect wetter.

D．Water officials should take many factors into account.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Las Vegas Plans to Ban Useless Grass

B．A Method Is Adopted to Save Las Vegas

C．Choices between Beauty and Practice

D．Grass Is Important but Useless in Las Vegas
