China was known as "the kingdom of bicycles" about 30 years ago.But more people choose to drive cars and catch the subway these days.Bike rental(租凭的) services like Mobike are bringing bikes back.

Online rental services are making biking more convenient,but it's still not easy to ride bikes in Chinese cities.Cars often take up bicycle lanes(道路). Bikers have to ride next to cars in car lanes,which can be very dangerous.

Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. 【1】.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing about, such as cancer and heart disease. 【2】. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if gene technology is applied, not only can these two diseases be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to patients, but the great amount of money people spend on treating their diseases can also be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life spans (寿命) can be prolonged.
【3】. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have
hereditary ( 遗 传 的 ) diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem. The scientist just needs to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.
【4】. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned.

28、 Amazon is reportedly working on a free, ad-supported music offering as another option to its paid Amazon Music Unlimited and Prime Music services to better compete with Apple Music, Google Music and Spotify. According to Billboard, the free plan could go live as soon as possible. At this time, the service is only available in the US for users who request music by a trial version (HIA), but a full-fledged version of the free ad- based music service is expected to be launched sometime in the future.
Billboard reports that Amazon is now in talks to make an ad-based free level available for its music service. The company is expected to advertise the plan with its Echo speakers. By now, Amazon Music Unlimited runs $ 10 per month standalone (单机), the same as Apple Music and Sportify. Meanwhile Prime Music offers Amazon Prime members a more limited selection of content for no extra charge. A new ad supported free level would make Amazon the third music offering.
Billboard notes that it's not clear how many paying users Amazon currently has, though it may have been around 20 million last year for all of its services. In contrast, Apple Music reportedly hit 28 million paying users in the US alone, beaten by Spotify.
Amazon hasn't disclosed how many paying music users it has, but some reports last year estimated it counts over 20 million users across its offerings and expect it to gain steadily thanks to integration with its market-leading smart speakers.
But Spotify is still the market leader for global users when it comes to music services with close to 100 million users. Amazon’s move could attract more and more users.
【1】What does the underlined word "full-fledged" in paragraph 1mean?
A.Modern. B.Junior. C.Powerful. D.Perfect.
【2】What can we infer about Amazon from the second paragraph?
A.It wants support from users.
B.It has too many advertisements.
C.It would be the third biggest Music offering.
D.It will lose more free users.
【3】Which of the following has the most music users?
A.Spotify. B.Amazon. C.Google Music. D.Apple Music.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A.Amazon has the most piece of music.
B.Amazon will release a free music service.
C.Amazon will defeat Apple Music and Spotify.
D.Amazon has defeated Apple Music and Spotify.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.
Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.
However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.
“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.
Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”
