第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Starting Cycling
We have two services designed to give people the confidence and knowledge to cycle successfully.
Lessons
All our instructors have been trained to National Standards level of “Bike-ability”. This means you will be trained to a standard consistent across the whole country.
There are three levels of skills to progress through. Children would start levels 1&2, progressing from the playground or park to cycle on less busy local roads. Teenager and adult beginners can also learn levels 1&2 in an off-road and quiet environment.
Confident teenagers and adults can broaden their skills by learning level 3, using multi-lane roads and larger roundabouts. We provide both complete packages of lessons for the beginner or individual lessons tailors to the client. Whatever the need we can address and practice until perfect!
Cost is ＆30 per hour.
Guided Ride
We know that riding on the roads in London can be scary, and if you have to navigate(确定行车路线)as well it can become a real hard task! The Guided Ride service takes all the stress out of it for you by providing the following:
Route planned in advance to suit your skill level. Route map provided to you.
Cycle and equipment checked. We will teach you a simple method to check basic roadworthiness(车辆性能)of your bike that you can perform on a weekly basis.
Route discussed and focus given to any areas requiring special attention.
Cycle along with the instructor close behind. Here the traffic can be controlled by the instructor and rider observed.
We currently cover London Zones1&2. Please contact us if your requirements are outside of these areas.
Cost ＆30 per hour.
1、Where can level1&2 lessons for adult beginners be carried out?
A．Off road. B．Near large roundabouts.
C．On busy local roads. D．On multi-lane roads.
2、What services does the Guided Ride provide?
A．They check your cycle and equipment every week.
B．They help you to be familiar with all London roads.
C．They let users experience the busiest road in London.
D．They ensure users ride safely in London zones 1&2.
3、Who is the text probably intended for？
A．Bike riding lovers. B．Children and teenagers.
C．Travelers in London. D．Parents loving cycling.

B
Everything about nuclear energy seems terrifically big: the cost, construction and decommissioning—and the fears of something going badly wrong.
The future, however may well be much smaller. Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk.
These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional reactor. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors (AMRs)—most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s—are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.
“The physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.
Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011, safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used at Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.
The UK, which opened the world’s first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956, is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear power’s ability to restore confidence.
However, the country’s agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point—which together will generate 3.2GW of electricity—has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vital to the country’s future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.
A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to ￡56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.
1、Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)?
A．AMRs produce more power than traditional reactors
B．Small in scale, AMRs rose more safety risks
C．So far, most AMRs have not been put into use yet
D．Governments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs
2、In paragraph 5, the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to ________.
A．prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concern.
B．show that the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.
C．indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.
D．point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology.
3、What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Some people have lost confidence in the development of nuclear plants
B．The UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.
C．The plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been deserted
D．a kind costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large nuclear reactors.
4、Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?
A．Britain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights on
B．Traditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactors
C．Nuclear’s share of power generation remain stead
D．Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to success
