21、A small but shining silver lining: The corona-virus has quickened the shift to pedal power in Europe. The German Cycling Association (ADFC) reports that Germans across the country are spending twice as much time biking as they were before the COVID-19. There is growing demand for bikes and shared-bike subscriptions, and now even shortages throughout bicycle supply chain. For bike shops it's an unexpected boom. So much so that it requires cities to improve their biking facilities.

In unimagined numbers, bikes are starting to take the place of cars in our cities. It has increased 930 miles of new bike lanes (车道) in Europe, “muscling aside cars on Europe’s city streets,” according to European Cyclists Federation. Belgium, Denmark, and the Netherlands are pioneering fast lanes for riders. “Pop-up lanes” are being used for bikes in Berlin and Paris; Rome has painted new bike lanes, in each case taking away lanes from cars.

Women riders are reportedly another big factor in the biking transformation. E-bikes are, too. E-bikes use an onboard battery to boost power when the rider is going up a hill, or just needs a rest. E-bikes have removed “the sweat factor”. Who wants to show up to work or a party sweaty?

The European Cyclists’ Federation states that bikes are also strongly supported by European governments to cut carbon and increase the quality of their cities. European countries provide direct financial stimulation for cyclists.

At the end of April, France announced a 20 million Euro plan to promote cycling after the end of the lockdown. The plan includes 50 Euro vouchers (代金券) for the repair of a bike. Italy worked on a regulation for Covid recovery, by means of which 120 million Euro was set aside to cover 70% and up to 500 Euro of the price of conventional, muscle-powered and electric bikes.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A．The impact of the pandemic on people's life.

B．The bicycle industry booms in Europe.

C．The preference for bicycles globally.

D．The shift in choice on public transportation.

【2】How many factors contribute to the growing demand for bikes in Europe?

A．Two.

B．Three.

C．Four.

D．Five.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Measures have been taken to encourage Europeans to use bikes.

B．E-bikes become popular with Europeans because they are lazy.

C．More women in Europe choose to go to work by bike than men.

D．Financial support is the main reason why Europeans choose bikes.

【4】Where is the passage probably taken from?

A．A guidebook.

B．A business plan.

C．A science report.

D．A newspaper.

24、There really are apps for everything—and some could save your life.

What3words

This free download is one of a growing number of smartphone apps that could mean the difference between life and death. What3Words divides the world into 3x3 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.

Whats App

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 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 duration you choose.

Skin Vision

You will have to pay for this digital skin check app, but with an estimated fifth of skin cancers going undiagnosed during lockdown, it could be well worth it. You simply take a photo of any spot with your phone and you'll then receive a risk indication within 30 seconds.

Stay Alive

With mental health problems on the increase, not helped by the pandemic, this app could be extremely helpful. It offers a wealth of resources, ranging from strategies for staying grounded when you feel overwhelmed, to breathing exercises to direct links to national and local crisis resources.

St John Ambulance First Aid

An app like this is more useful for saving someone else's life than your own, but arguably it’s a must-have on your smartphone.
