D Schimmelpennink never stopped believing in bike-sharing, and in the mid-90s, two Danes asked for his help to set up a system in Copenhagen. The result was the world’s first large-scale bike-sharing programme. It worked on a deposit: ‘You dropped a coin in the bike and when you returned it, you got your money back.’After setting up the Danish system, Schimmelpennink decided to try his luck again in the Netherlands - and this time he succeeded in arousing the interest of the Dutch Ministry of Transport. Times had changed，’he recalls. ‘People had become more environmentally conscious, and the Danish experiment had proved that bike-sharing was a real possibility.’A new Witte Fietsenplan was launched in 1999 in Amsterdam. However, riding a white bike was no longer free; it cost one guilder per trip and payment was made with a chip card developed by the Dutch bank Postbank. Schimmelpennink designed conspicuous, sturdy white bikes locked in special racks which could be opened with the chip card - the plan started with 250 bikes, distributed over five stations.

答案

上文定位出现在靠后的位置，这么点内容很难选出两个选项，所以我们应该看全段，如果还是没有找出两个选项，再看下一段。

上文第四句出现了try his luck again in the Netherlands【在荷兰碰运气】可以看出从这儿开始讲第二个项目，也就是我们题干中的Amsterdam bike-sharing scheme of 1999。

这句后半句中的关键词有interest of the Dutch Ministry of Transport，虽然E选项有interest，但没有别的对应的信息，所以E选项目前是NOT GIVEN。

第五句中的关键词有changed。第六句中的关键词有 people和more environmentally conscious，相关的选项有

D It was made possible by a change in people’s attitudes.

上文第六句中的people had become more environmentally conscious对应题干中的change in people’s attitudes,所以D选项正确。

上文倒数第二句中的关键词有no longer free，payment，a chip card和Dutch bank Postbank，这些关键词没有对应的选项。

上文最后一句中的关键词有special racks，250 bikes和five stations，这些关键词没有对应的选项。

E Theo Molenaar, who was a system designer for the project, worked alongside

Schimmelpennink. I remember when we were testing the bike racks, he announced that he had already designed better ones. But of course, we had to go through with the ones we had.’The system, however, was prone to vandalism and theft. ‘After every weekend there would always be a couple of bikes missing，’Molenaar says. ‘I really have no idea what people did with them, because they could instantly be recognised as white bikes.’But the biggest blow came when Postbank decided to abolish the chip card, because it wasn’t profitable. ‘That chip card was pivotal to the system,’Molenaar says. ‘To continue the project we would have needed to set up another system, but the business partner had lost interest.’

上文倒数第二句中的关键词有biggest blow, Postbank，最后一句中的关键词有business partner和lost interest。相关的选项有

B It failed when a partner in the scheme withdrew support.

上文倒数第二句中的biggest blow【最 大的打击】对应选项中的failed， 上文最后一句中的business partner对应选项中的partner， 上文最后一句中的lost interest对应选项中的withdrew support，所以B答案正确。

Q21-22

Which TWO of the following statements are made in the text about Amsterdam today?

A The majority of residents would like to prevent all cars from entering the city. 

B There is little likelihood of the city having another bike-sharing scheme.

C More trips in the city are made by bike than by any other form of transport.

D A bike-sharing scheme would benefit residents who use public transport. 

E The city has a reputation as a place that welcomes cyclists. 

分析

题干可以划定位词的有Amsterdam today，题目问的是today的情况，跟“现在”和“将来”相关的内容一般放在最后一段，所以我们可以先去最后一段看看。

A The majority of residents would like to prevent all cars from entering the city. 

分析：选项可以划关键词的有residents, prevent all cars和city。

B There is little likelihood of the city having another bike-sharing scheme.

分析：选项可以划关键词的有little likelihood和another bike-sharing scheme。

C More trips in the city are made by bike than by any other form of transport.

分析：选项可以划关键词的有more trips, bike和other form of transport。

D A bike-sharing scheme would benefit residents who use public transport. 

分析：选项可以划关键词的有benefit和residents who use public transport。

E The city has a reputation as a place that welcomes cyclists.

分析：选项可以划关键词的有reputation和a place that welcomes cyclists。

定位

G In Amsterdam today, 38% of all trips are made by bike and, along with Copenhagen, it is regarded as one of the two most cycle-friendly capitals in the world-but the city never got another Witte Fietsenplan. Molenaar believes this may be because everybody in Amsterdam already has a bike. Schimmelpennink, however, cannot see that this changes Amsterdam’s need for a bike-sharing scheme. ‘People who travel on the underground don’t carry their bikes around. But often they need additional transport to reach their final destination.’Although he thinks it is strange that a city like Amsterdam does not have a successful bike-sharing scheme, he is optimistic about the future. ‘In the 60s we didn’t stand a chance because people were prepared to give their lives to keep cars in the city. But that mentality has totally changed. Today everybody longs for cities that are not dominated by cars. ’

答案

上文第 一句出现了定位词Amsterdam today,这句中的关键词有cycle-friendly capitals，对应的选项有

E The city has a reputation as a place that welcomes cyclists.

上文第 一句中的it is regarded as【它被当作】对应选项中的has a reputation，上文第 一句中的cycle-friendly对应选项中的place that welcomes cyclists，所以E选项正确。

上文第四句中的关键词有People who travel on the underground【坐地铁出行的人】，相关的选项有

D A bike-sharing scheme would benefit residents who use public transport. 

上文第四句中的People who travel on the underground对应选项中的residents who use public transport，上文第四句中的they need additional transport【他们需要额外的交通】对应选项中的would benefit（通过互补的方式表达一样的意思—“他们需要额外的交通“与“他们会从这样的项目受益”），所以D选项正确。
