私家车作为现代文明的产物，在人们日常生活中扮演了重要角色。然而，任何事物都具有两面性。快速发展的私家车会导致一系列问题。Nowadaysmoreandmorefamiliesownprivatecars.Privatecars,astheproductofmoderncivilization①，havebeenplayingavitalrolein②people'sdailyactivities.First,privatecarsareaconvenient③meansoftransport.Youcandrivewhereveryoulike.Second,thereisnodoubtthat④privatecarswillhaveagreatimpacton⑤theeconomicgrowth.Therapiddevelopmentofcarindustrywillcontribute⑥muchtokeepingthecountry'seconomygrowingatahigherrateinthenearfuture.Buteverycoinhastwosides.Therapiddevelopmentofprivatecarswillbringaboutaseriesof⑦problems.Forexample,thewasteairgivenoff⑧bycarswilldogreatharmto⑨ourhealth,toomanyprivatecarswillleadto⑩trafficjamsandagreatdealofenergywillbewasted.SoIthinkweshouldtakeadvantageof⑪privatecarsandmakethemserveusbetter.MeantimeIhopethatsatisfactorysolutionstothesenegativeproblemswillbefoundsoon.[多积词汇]①civilizationn．文明②playavitalrolein...在……起重要作用③convenientadj.便利的④thereisnodoubtthat...……毫无疑问⑤haveagreatimpacton对……影响重大⑥contributev．有助于⑦aseriesof一系列⑧giveoff释放，放出，发出(气体、热量气味等)⑨doharmto对……有害⑩leadto导致⑪takeadvantageof利用[读文清障][原文呈现]Returnofthewhitebikes!Peoplehavebeenenjoying①thebenefits②ofcyclinginAmsterdam③foryears.Itisagoodcityforcyclingbecauseitisflat④andtherefore⑤isconvenient⑥forbikes.①havebeenenjoying是现在完成进行时。表示动作始于过去，持续到现在(刚刚停止)或将来(继续进行下去)。②benefit/'benIfIt/vi.&n．得益；好处benefitfrom从……中获益③Amsterdam/ˌæmstə'dæm/阿姆斯特丹④flat/flæt/adj.平的⑤therefore/'ðeəfɔː/adv.所以，因此⑥convenient/kən'viːniənt/adj.方便的，便利的(convenient不能以人作主语)beconvenientforsb.对某人来说是方便的SectionⅠWarm­up&Lesson1—Pre­reading[读文清障][原文呈现]Therearealsoplentyofplacesforbicycleparking⑦andmoststreetsinthecitycentrehaveabicyclepath.TodaysomepeoplecallAmsterdamthe“CityofBicycles”becauseoftheconvenience⑧forbicyclesthere.Inthe1960s,agroupofcyclingfanshadanidea.Theybelievedthatitwouldbebetterforeverybodyifcarsweren'tallowed⑨inthecitycentreandonlybicycleswere.⑦parking/'pɑːkIŋ/n．停车场Noparking！禁止泊车！⑧convenience/kən'viːniəns/n．方便，便利⑨allowvt.允许，准许allowsb.todosth.允许某人做某事allowdoingsth.允许做某事[读文清障][原文呈现]Theywerehopeful⑩thatthiswouldhelptosaveenergy,reducepollutionandprovide⑪freepublictransport.Thegrouppainted⑫hundredsof⑬bicycleswhiteandplaced⑭theminlotsofneighbourhoods⑮aroundAmsterdamforpeopletouse.Anyonewasallowedtotakethemandusethemforshortjourneys.⑩hopeful/'həʊpfəl/adj.(人)抱有希望的behopefulthat...希望……⑪providev．提供，供应providesb.withsth.providesth.forsb.提供给某人某物⑫paint...(colour)漆上或染上某种颜色⑬hundredsof成百上千的⑭placevt.放置⑮neighbourhood/'neIbəhʊd/n．街坊；邻近地区[读文清障][原文呈现]Wherever⑯someonefinishedajourneytheywouldleavethebikethereforsomeoneelse⑰touse.Theproblemwasthatitdidn'twork⑱—thieves⑲tookallthebicycleswithinweeks！⑯wherever/wer'evə/conj.无论在何处，无论到哪里，此处引导让步状语从句，相当于nomatterwhere。⑰someoneelse别人else与someone,anyone,everyone等连用时，所有格加在else上。⑱workvi.起作用，生效⑲thief/θiːf/n．贼，小偷白自行车回来了！[第1～2段译文]多年来，人们一直享受着在阿姆斯特丹骑自行车的益处。这是一个适合骑自行车的好城市，道路平坦，因此方便骑自行车。还有许多自行车停放场地，城市中心的大多数街道都设有自行车车道。今天，有些人把阿姆斯特丹称作“自行车城”，因为那里为自行车提供了方便。在20世纪60年代，一群自行车迷提出了一个想法。他们认为如果不让汽车驶入市中心，只让自行车进入，那会对每个人都更有好处。他们希望这样能够帮助节约能源，减少污染，并且(给大家)提供免费的公共交通工具。他们把数百辆自行车漆成白色，并把它们放在阿姆斯特丹众多街区供人们使用。任何人都可以取用这些自行车做短途旅行。无论在哪儿结束旅程，人们都可以将自行车留在那里供其他人使用。问题是这种做法行不通——几周内，所有的自行车都被小偷偷走了！[读文清障][原文呈现]However,morethanthirtyyearslater,the“whitebike”isbackintown—thistimewithacomputerchip⑳torecorditseverymove○21！Totakeabicycle○22，youhavetoinsert○23aspecialcard.⑳chip/tʃIp/n．集成电路片，硅片○21move此处为名词，表示“迁移，移动”。○22动词不定式短语totakeabicycle作目的状语，放在句首表示强调。○23insert/In'sɜːt/vt.插入，嵌入[读文清障][原文呈现]Thenew“whitebike”isnotactuallywhitebut○24isanunusualdesignwithbrightcolours.Thebikesareparkedatspecialparkingplaces○25andpeoplewhowanttousethemhavetotakethemtoanotherspecialparkingplacethathasenoughroom.○24not...but...不是……而是……○25parkingplace停车场parkinglot(露天)停车场[读文清障][原文呈现]ThereisalreadylesstrafficincentralAmsterdam,becausebothlocalsandtouristshavebeenusingthewhitebikes.Indeed○26,thanksto○27thegoodideasoflotsofpeople,likethecyclingfansinthe1960s,manypeoplearoundtheworldhavebeenenjoyingcitycentrestreetswithoutcarsformanyyears.Didyouknow?TheNetherlands○28has14millionbicyclesamong15millionpeople！○26indeed/In'diːd/adv.当然，确实○27thanksto多亏，幸亏；由于thanksto...多作状语becauseof...多作状语dueto...可作状语或表语owingto...多作状语○28theNetherlands/'neðələndz/荷兰[第3～6段译文]然而，30多年后，“白自行车”又回到城里了——这次车上装有电脑芯片记录它的每一次移动！要使用自行车，你必须先插入一张特别的卡。新的“白自行车”实际上并不是白色，它设计独特，颜色鲜亮。自行车被放在特定的停放处，想使用自行车的人必须把自行车停放在另一个有足够空间的特定停放处。阿姆斯特丹市中心的交通已经不怎么拥堵了，因为当地人和旅游者都使用白自行车。的确，多亏人们献计献策，就像20世纪60年代的自行车迷们那样，世界各地的许多人多年以来能在享受市中心没有汽车的环境。你知道吗？荷兰1500万人口拥有1400万辆自行车！根据英文释义及首字母提示写出单词1．_____:someonewhostealssomething2．______:anadvantage,improvement,orhelpthatyougetfromsomething3．_______:believingthatwhatyouhopeforislikelytohappen4．_____:tospeakangrilytosb.becauseyoudisagreewiththemthiefbenefithopefulargue5．___________:somethingthatnaturallyfollowsfromanactionorcondition6．______:toputsomethinginsideorintosomethingelse7．________:asaresultofsomethingthathasjustbeenmentioned8．______:totakesomeonetoapolicestationbecausethepolicethinkhehasdonesomethingillegal9．__________:usefultoyoubecauseitsavesyourtime,ordoesnotspoilyourplansorcauseyourproblemsconsequenceinse
