Question

In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bikes to work every day. In New York, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City . They declare that if more people rode bikes to work, there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown part of the city and so less dirty air from car engines.

For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bike riders. For example , they want the city to draw special lanes( 車道) for bikes on some of the main streets, because when bike riders must use the same lanes as cars there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.

But no bike lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea- they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don’t like the idea- they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business.

The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, Central Park, the largest place of open ground in New York, is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bike only.

But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bike lanes down-town.

3.D 推理題。根據(jù)文章第二段第三行because when bike riders must use the same lanes as cars there are accidents.可知如果有了自行車道，那么自行車和汽車就分開行駛，事故發(fā)生的可能性就會更小一點。故D正確。
