London has become a cycle friendly zone after the launch of a new bike hire scheme. It has been designed to encourage more people to cycle in and around central London.
So how does it work?First you have to sign up to the scheme to be sent a key. The key will unlock one of the bikes,which are kept at docking stations in and around central London. You have to pay an access fee for the key and then you pay as you go,for the length of time you use the bike.
Transport for London,which runs the scheme,are hoping to have 6,000 bikes and 400 docking stations in place by the end of the year. The new hire system is hoping to ease congestion (拥挤) in London and is expected to create up to 40,000 extra cycle trips a day into the city centre. London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the scheme and said London had been “filled with thousands of gleaming machines that will transform the look and feel of our streets and become as commonplace on our roads as black cabs and red buses”.
However,there have been a few problems since the scheme was launched last Friday. On the first day some people found they couldn’t dock their bike properly and their usage of the bike had not registered. Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few “teething problems” and have said they wouldn’t charge for the first day as a “gesture of goodwill”. Some other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles.
Despite the comments,the green-thinking London Mayor still seems very positive about things,saying,“My campaign for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a big pedal-powered push forwards.”

(答案→)C 解析:【小题1】细节理解题。根据第三段第二句的The new hire system is hoping to ease congestion (拥挤)in London可知,伦敦实行自行车出租的目的是减缓伦敦市内的交通拥挤。【小题1】事件排序题。根据第二段租自行车的方法可知,要先报名成为成员获得自行车钥匙,交纳钥匙使用费,骑车然后按使用时间的长短交费。因此选D。【小题1】细节理解题。根据第四段第二句可知,和D都是该项目实施过程中出现的问题;该段的最后一句说明有人批评租自行车的费用可知,A项是一个问题,而C是解决问题的方法而不是问题。【小题1】推理判断题。根据最后一段的第一句话Despite the comments,the green-thinking London Mayor still seems very positive about things,可推出伦敦市长对该行动非常有信心。
