Some people think they have an answer to the problems of heavy traffic and pollution in large cities. Their answer is the bicycle, or “bike”. In many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work everyday. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They say that if more people ride bikes to work, there will be fewer cars in the city and therefore less dirty air from cars.
For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bike riders. For example, they want the city to paint special lanes (车道) for bikes only¾on some of the main streets, because when bike riders must use the same lanes as cars, there may be accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.
But no bike lanes have been painted yet. Not everyone thinks they are a good idea. Taxi drivers don’t like the idea¾they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don’t like the idea¾they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business.
The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, Central Park--the largest open space in New York is closed to cars and the roads may be used by bikes only. But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps working hard to get bike lanes in the city. Until that happens, the safest place to bike may be in the park.
46. From the passage, Bike for a Better City wants the government to ________ for bike riders.
A. build more lanes B. provide free bikes
C. paint special lanes D. slow city traffic
47. Why do some store owners on the main streets disagree with Bike for a Better City?
A. They believe that there will be more accidents.
B. They are afraid that they will have less business.
C. They don’t think they will use bikes.
D. They say it will cause heavy traffic.
48. From the passage, the city government _________.
A. has agreed to paint special lanes for bike riders
B. hasn't decided to paint special lanes for bike riders
C. will only allow bikes to use the roads on weekdays
D. will close Central Park to cars on weekdays
49. Bike for a Better City is going to _________.
A. go on working hard to get bike lanes
B. ride bikes in Central Park on weekdays
C. paint the special lanes by themselves
. D. give up riding bikes in the city
50. Why does the group want people to ride bikes?

People sometimes say, “It’s raining cats and dogs!” when there is a heavy rain. Nobody has ever really seen cats and dogs falling from the sky, but there have been many reports of other strange things “raining” down. In 1956, the people of a town in the USA saw a small black cloud in the sky. It started to rain from the cloud normally, but only in a small area. The cloud then turned white, and fish started to fall to the ground. Most of them were still alive.
During a storm in July 1901, in Minneapolis, people heard something falling from the sky that did not sound like rain. When they went outside, they found all types of frogs covering four streets.
There are other reports of strange “rains” failing from the sky including worms, insects and snakes.
Can these strange “rains” be explained by science? Scientists usually say that a tornado (龙卷风) has picked up the animals from a river or ocean, carried them for miles, and then dropped them somewhere else. But this does not completely explain all of them. On May 15, 1890, in Italy, there was a rain of blood¾birds’ blood. Scientists said that flying birds must have been torn(撕碎) to pieces by strong winds. But if so, why did only their blood fall from the sky , and not other parts of their bodies? And anyway, there were no strong winds that day!
51. What does it mean when people say, “It’s raining cats and dogs”?
A. Cats and dogs are falling from the sky. B. It’s raining heavily.
C. Animals started to fall to the ground. D. There is a black cloud.
52. Which of t
