Unit 4 Astronomy:the science of stars (60分钟83分) Part A 一、阅读理解(共9小题;每小题2分,满分18分) A Forget cyclists,pedestrians are real danger We are having a debate about this topic.Here are some letters from our readers. ■ Yes,many cyclists behave dangerously.Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists.But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders. People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone,quite unaware of what is going on around them.They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere.The rest of us have to evade(避让)them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision. The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be,at least for the moment,in worlds of their own that are,to them,much more important than the welfare of others. —Michael Horan ■ I loved the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists(Viewpoints,May 29).I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads. I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me. The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used. The police do nothing.What a laugh they are! |
