【单选题】{{B}}Passage Two{{/B}}
This made me reflect on the changes that have transformedBeijing since I came to the city 37 years ago. In those days, the bicycle was king. What sheer joy it was to cycle along with the hundreds (not thousands) of fellow pedallers (骑车人), never in fear of life and limb as one is now. I bought my first bike in 1963. It cost me 150 yuan--in those days three or four months’ salary for the average city dweller.
Such changes! Good or bad Today, cycling is hazardous but bikes are easily affordable. Gone are the old wooden houses I remember in southBeijing and fast disappearing are the small, overcrowded courtyard houses lacking running water, central heating and bathroom. Very manyBeijingers now live in more convenient, better-equipped flats in high-rises.But these very high-rises are swallowing up the unique character of the old city of narrow hutongs, age-old siheyuan and close-knit communities.
I loved years ago to cycle toBeihai to visit my friends (I then taught atChina ForeignAffairs University). In spring I rode through the blue-green wheat fields, in summer through fields of tall maize (玉米). Further west; beyondBeijing Foreign Studies University there were the vegetable fields of theEvergreenCommune (四季青公社) and the rice paddies glistening in the summer sun.But now, asBeijing stretches out further and further, west, east, north, south, there’s decent housing for families, busy offices for employment and large department stores and supermarkets where, if you have the money, there’s little you cannot buy.
B．To honor her father.
C．To criticize the past.
D．To criticize the present.
网考网参考答案：A
网考网解析：
文章开始两段谈论一张旧照片，从第三段便开始讲述骑自行车的感受，买自行车的难易，北京人的新旧住房，北京的新貌与旧貌等等。所以可推断这篇文章的目的不是回忆父亲，也不是评判过去和现在，而是比较过去与现在。所以A项是正确答案。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
