课时跟踪练18 Unit 3 A taste of English humour Ⅰ.阅读理解 During Amsterdam's chaotic rush hour, nineyearold Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy junction.“Look，” she says.“There's traffic coming from everywhere.Four trams come from four different directions. For a child on a bike that's really confusing！”‎ Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital.You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world.The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at more than 810，000 for the city's 850，000 inhabitants—and 63% of the population cycle daily.‎ But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges，Lotta says, “The three biggest problems for us are cars, cycling tourists and scooters (小型摩托车)．The cars take up too much space.The tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it.And the scooters simply run you over.”‎ Lotta became the junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which schoolchildren were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun.Her idea was to add children's bikes to the popular bikesharing programme.‎ Since Lotta was appointed as the junior cycle mayor, she has been busy giving interviews, opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury (评审团)member during the Amsterdam Light Parade, an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights.‎ She is now planning a meeting with the city's mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up with.“One of our proposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle.Right now, most of us learn it in the street, which can be quite busy.Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling, because most of them really don't know.”‎ Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme, cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues.“They see it works really well，” Boerma, the senior mayor, says.“I talk to the parents.Lotta talks to the children.And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child, you will also make it accessible for others.A city that's good for an eightyearold is also good for an 88yearold.”‎ - 8 -‎ ‎1．Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam?‎ A．To teach children how to ride.‎ B．To insure cycling is safer for children.‎ C．To give suggestions to the city's mayor on how to run the city.‎ D．To organize the cycling contests in the city.‎ ‎2．Which word can best replace the underlined word “superfluous” in Paragraph 2?‎ A．Important.　　　 B．Unnecessary.‎ C．Difficult.
