Question

Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams(阻塞) and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes(废气). So the city began a scheme(计划) to improve the situation.

Under the Velib scheme(‘Velib’ comes from velo liberte, or ‘bicycle freedom’) , people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don’t return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it’s only ∈1 a day or ∈29 a year! The bicycles are heavy (25 kg), and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!

Paris is not the first city to have a scheme like this. But not everybody thinks it’s a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won’t use a bicycle — they’ll still use their cars.”

A city spokesman said, “The bicycle scheme won’t solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There aren’t any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems in our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too.”

广告类短文解题指导

1.先题后文法。“先题后文”指的就是先读试题，了解试题的考查点，再根据试题的要求快速阅读短文。

2.题干定向法。若题干的问题与原文中的相应句段基本相同，则可直接对号入座。若题干的问题与原文中的相应句段有较大出入，则要进行一定的处理。这个“ 处理”是多方面的，它可能包括对原文进行同义变换、对概念进行解析、对事实进行归纳、将具体问题抽象化或将抽象问题具体化、将文中提到的原则或规则进行实际运用等。如：5.2】A考查细节理解题。根据文章第二段的But it’s only ∈1 a day or ∈29 a year!可知骑自行车一个小时，需要付费∈1，根据前文半小时内是免费的，超过半小时需要付费。故选A。

3.错误排除法。一般说来，那些与文意明显不符或与文章内容不相关的选项比较容易排除，有些选项与文章内容相符，却与题干问题不对应，即属答非所问的情形，也应作为错误选项予以排除，尤其是那些从文章中摘录的句子，要特别小心，它们很有可能是干扰项。除了验证其是否能回答所提问题外，还要看它是否回答了问题的主要方面，也就是说看它是不是最佳答案，如果它只能回答所提问题的一个方面或还有比它更合适的选项，就要毫不犹豫地将其排除。

4.信息补全法。广告类阅读材料的一大特点就是缩略词和省略句多。考生在做题时，要注意根据文章的上下文语境将省略句补充完整，以便正确地理解和答题。

5.生词模糊法。生词多是广告类阅读材料的一大特点。面对这些生词，同学们该怎么办呢？ 许多同学首先想到的是想办法来猜测词义。当然，若能根据上下文的语境猜出生词的词义，那再好不过了。但问题是，有些生词是无法猜的，并且命题者也没有要求考生去猜测词义。对于这些生词，考生在做题时只要模糊地知道它们的存在就够了，千万不要一看到生词就紧张，被它们吓住。

6.推理计算法。计算类题目是广告类阅读理解中常考的一种，同学们一定要根据题干的要求找出有效数字，然后结合内容或题干的要求进行计算。千万不能够看到一个数字就直接选择。
