选修 8 Unit 1 A land of diversity 李仕才 一、阅读理解 A About three decades ago, China was known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”. But the twowheel way of transports popularity began to fade, with many bikes soon replaced by their fuelpowered competitors. But recent months have seen a revival of the bike across China, with an increasing number of people choosing to cycle instead of driving to schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. The introduction of bikesharing systems has brought the trend to a new level. People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones. The bikes are equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. Theyre popula among many Chinese people as they provide an effective solution to the “last mile problem”， which refers to the final leg of a persons journey. However, the systems have also led to problems such as illegal parking, damage and theft. Last month, two nurses in Beijing were placed under arrest for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes. “Bikesharing is a greener method of transport and provides a userfriendly experience，” said Liu Xiaoming, viceminister of transport. “But its a combination o online and o line business. Operators are usually strong in online services, but lack offline business experience, which causes problems.” Now, Chinese service operators are trying to handle these problems. For example, a bikesharing company called Mobike sets a 100point credit score for each user, with points taken in the case of bad behavior. Once a score drops below 80, bike rental is increased to 100 yuan per 30 minutes, up from 0.5－1 yuan. 【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了近期共享单车在中国流行的原因、所遇 到的问题及解决办法。 【难句分析】Theyre popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective solution to the “lastmile problem”， which refers to the final leg o a persons journey.(第三段第三句)
