(2024·濟(jì)南模擬)American LaMar Baylor spends most of his time in New York，working as a performer in the Broadway musical—The Lion King.But since 2011，he has also spent weeks in Kigali，the capital of Rwanda.There he teaches dance to boys who live on the street.His teaching is part of an effort by the Rebecca Davis Dance Company.The project helps young people learn more about dance and learn how to behave in a classroom environment.
LaMar Baylor describes his students as genocide (大屠殺) survivors.They have lost all of their families，and some even have been in prison.“They have been through things that no one should ever have to go through，” said Baylor.Dance classes provide the children with structured learning and self－expression that they've never had before.They can also take classes in information and technology after they have learned to attend classes and follow directions.
Boys who have done best in the classes win scholarships，and are sent to the Sunrise Boarding School.About 30 boys have won this kind of financial aid.All the students are male，because few girls in Rwanda live freely on the street.
The Rwanda program is the largest one set up by the Rebecca Davis Dance Company，founded and directed by Rebecca Davis.Ms Davis has also set up dance programs in Bosnia－Herzegovina and Guinea.About 2，000 children in the three countries have taken part in the project since its launch (發(fā)起) in 2010.
As for LaMar Baylor，he knows from his own experience how dance can lead to a better life.He is from Camden，New Jersey.Camden has sometimes been called America's poorest and most dangerous city.Mr Baylor says that growing up in Camden，it took a long time for him to find out what he wanted to do.He now thinks dancing saved his life.

體裁：說明文 話題：巴黎“自行車之都” 詞351 時間：5′
Paris is planning to double the number of cycling lanes(車道) by 2024 to turn the city into “the world's bike capital”．The 150 million－euro project will increase the number of safe bike lanes from the current 700 kilometers
(435 miles) to 1400 kilometers within five years.
Paris town hall hopes the new lanes will help triple (增至三倍) the number of journeys made on a bike from five percent to 15 percent by that time.The new “express network” for bikes will introduce protected cycling lanes on major streets throughout the city，including the banks of the Seine，separated from the traffic.“We think that there are people ready to cycle but don' t do it because of a sense of not being safe，” said Christophe Najdovski，Green deputy mayor (副市長) in charge of transport.“This plan will create a new form of tourism in Paris which is booming (迅速發(fā)展) elsewhere soon，” he said.
The plans also include increasing the number of two－way cycling lanes on smaller roads，where the speed limit for motorists will be limited to 30 km/h.Among the new cycle lanes will be one along the famous dangerous street—Champs Elysees.Some 10，000 bike parking spaces will be added along the cycling lanes at the same time according to the plans.City hall intends to set up cycling classes and repair workshops to get Parisians on their bikes.
Paris' famous bike rental (租賃的) company “Velib” is going from strength to strength，with some 283，000 subscribers (用戶) and 40 million individual rentals this year already.The city is now considering introducing electric bikes for hillier parts like Montmartre.
The plans come days after Paris suffered worrying pollution levels that topped Shanghai for a short time，according to one weather agency.

D．There are no bike parking spaces in the city.
答案 A [細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“We think that there are people ready to cycle but don' t do it because of a sense of not being safe”可知，有不少市民想要騎自行車出行，但是出于安全方面的擔(dān)憂而放棄了這一想法。]
6．Cycling classes and repair workshops will be set up in Paris to ________．
A．inspire people to take exercise
B．lower the risk of unemployment

A．Paris is one of the most polluted cities in the world
B．more and more people in Paris will travel by bike

答案 B [推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“Paris' famous bike rental company “Velib” is going from strength to strength，with some 283，000 subscribers and 40 million individual rentals this year already.”可知，巴黎著名的自行車租賃公司“Velib”不斷壯大。今年，該公司已擁有注冊用戶28.3萬人，個人租車已達(dá)4000萬次。故可推知，越來越多的巴黎人將騎車出行。]
