Copenhagen has GREAT public transport. It is reliable, safe, and easily accessible. Of course, like everything in

Copenhagen, it is not cheap. The system can be a little confusing, even for locals, but we're here to help simplify it all

for you! And today our focus is Travelling with a Bike.

BIKES ON THE TRAIN

Bicycles can be taken on s-tog lines for free but you can't take bikes through Nørreport station during peak hours.

extra ticket. The price depends on the distance and varies from 14 kr to 28 kr.

BIKES ON THE METRO

Bicycles can be taken on the metro for an extra 13 kr. You need to pay for the bike with its own ticket. You can't

take your bike on the metro during peak hours.

BIKES ON THE BUS

You can bring a bike on a bus but each bus is limited to two bikes, even if there is much space. Generally, people

do not travel with their bikes on buses in Copenhagen.

BIKES ON THE FERRY（渡轮）

I was born in Karachị, Pakistan. After completing my bachelor's degree in MBBS, I got a scholarship in 2014 from

China Scholarship Council to do a master's in Neurosurgery at Southeast University Nanjing, China. I couldn't wait to

start my postgraduate study in China. In my first year, I learned the Chinese language, and passed the HSK level 5. It

helped me a lot as a volunteer during the COVID-19 pandemic(流行病).

In February 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic was on peak, the school chose me as a volunteer. which was a

great honor for me. It was challenging to decide whether I should stay here or go back home because my family forced

me to return home. At that time, I thought I must stand out in this critical moment so I was handed a lot of

responsibilities related to the students' daily needs.

Every day, I had to take an order from students for their dinners and brought food for them. Besides, I had to

record their temperatures three times a day, for which the universities had given a thermometer(温度计) to them all.

Sometimes if. a student felt sick, it was my responsibility to accompany him to the hospital. Also, I had to go to the

supermarket to bring groceries for them、 for which I had to ask every individual the daily necessities they needed. I

provided psychological assistance, emotional comfort, and counseling to them. As the pandemic was getting better, I

must stay at the dormitory gate to ensure that the students were wearing masks, having the permission cards to go out,

and request them to come back on time,

It has sharpened my skills in becoming in better defender and developed a sense of pride in contributing to

community.

Our planet quakes thousands of  times a year, but we still can't  predict exactly when and where earthquakes  will

strike. What if animals' odd behavior could warn us?

Researchers have  reviewed hundreds  of reports  on pre-quake  abnormal animal  behaviors, but  more were  just

anecdotes. Geologist Jim Berkland counted newspaper ads  looking for runaway cats and dogs. On October 13, 1989,

he told a newspaper reporter a big quake would strike in a week. Four days later, the Loma Prieta mega-quake hit! But

the  scientific community  still  rejected  Berkland's theory.  He  didn't document  every  prediction, so  nobody  could

measure his accuracy rate.

Actual scientific evidence has to be repeatable. And a connection between a cause and an effect has to be shown to

be stronger  than random  chance through  careful experimentation  and data  collection. California  researchers in  the

1950s happened to have built controlled habitats to monitor  the wheel-running activity of pocket mice. These habitats

happened to be in  an active earthquake area. Then the 1951  San Fernando earthquake struck nearby. The  researchers

checked their data and found no big changes in how long the animals ran in their wheels or stayed underground before

the earthquake activity. What might the next experiment show?

Researchers from 150 universities worldwide are working on a new study called the ICARUS project. The project

tracks many small animal  species such as birds, bats, and  turtles for the purpose of scientific  research. One group of

researchers  is looking  for possible  connections  between animal  behavior  and earthquakes.  If they  find  a reliable

connection, this could save hundreds of thousands of human lives. ICARUS aims to power an app that will give people

hours to get to safety.

However, not everyone is  hopeful. Geologist Wendy Bohon said that  ICARUS is doing some “cool things,”  but

6

she knows animal behavior is hard to pin down. “My cat could act  crazy before an earthquake,” she says. “But it also

acts crazy if somebody uses the can opener.”

28.What does the underlined word “anecdotes” mean in paragraph 2?

A.Real-life news stories.

B.Random individual studies.

C.Unproved personal accounts.

D.Repeated scientific reports.

29.Why was Berkland's theory rejected by the scientific community?

A.He used unreliable data from newspaper ads.

B.His document wasn't consistent with his theory.

C.His study didn't include enough animal samples.

D.He failed to prove the accuracy of his prediction

30.What is the ultimate goal of the ICARUS project?

A.To provide accurate pre-quake warnings.

B.To develop an app to call for help during quakes.

C.To seek worldwide co-operations in quake prediction.

D.To find connections between animal behaviors and quakes.

31.What is Wendy Bohon's attitude towards the ICARUS project?

A.

Disapproving.

B.

Unclear

C.

Intolerant.

D. Doubtful.

Pieter Bruegel's iconic(标志性的；图像的) 1545 painting The Harvesters hangs at the Metropolitan Museum of

Art. The work showed people harvesting wheat nearly as tall as they were.“nowadays, however, if you walk through a

wheat field, you basically see that wheat is about knee-height. The reduced height is essentially a consequence of

breeding（培育）along  with genes for increasing production to feed a growing population,” biologist De Smet

explained.

De Smet says wheat is just one example of how historical artwork can allow us to track the transformation of food

crops over time. He teamed up with art historian Vergauwen, a friend since childhood, to document such artwork

around the world. They have been mainly looking at things where they can spot changes in shape, color and size.

Their interest in plants in artwork began with a visit to the Hermitage Museum, where they noticed an odd-looking

watermelon in  an  early-15th-century painting.  It appeared  to be  pale and  white on  the inside.  Biologist De  Smet

7

assumed the painter had done a poor job. But art historian Vergauwen had a different idea. “No, this is one of the best

painters ever from that era. So if he painted it like that, that's the way it must have looked like,” he explained.

Other paintings revealed that  both red and white watermelons were  grown during the 15th century.“With  all the

genetic knowledge we now have, we can look in more detail how something comes about,”De Smet said. “For example,

until  the  18th  century,  European  strawberries  appeared tiny  in  paintings-they  then  grew  in  size  as  they  were

crossbred(杂交繁育) with North American varieties.”

Ultimately,  the team  hopes to  create  an online  research  database of  historical  plant artwork.  They  seek the

contributions of art enthusiasts around the world via(通过，经，由) the social media. “However,” Vergauwen reminds,

“if you're going  to use, for example, Picasso to  try and understand how a  pear looked in the early  20th century, you

might be misled.”

32.What can we learn about the painting The Harvesters?

A.It shows how people successfully grew wheat.

B.It proves that wheat was much shorter in the past.

C.It explains the consequence of different breeding methods.

D.It gives clues about how wheat in the 14th century looked like.

33.What inspired the research team to start their study?

A.Their preference for food crops.

B.Their friendship since childhood.

C.Their divided views on an old painting.

D.Their shared interest in Hermitage Museum.

34.What is the message from Vergauwen in the last paragraph?

A.Art enthusiasts are not careful enough.

B.The source paintings need to be realistic.

C.Abstract paintings often mislead people.

D.Picasso's paintings are hard to understand.

35.What is the purpose of the text?

A. To comment on historical plant paintings.

B. To tell interesting stories behind plant artwork.

C. To inform readers of a scientific breakthrough.

D. To introduce a study on food crop transformation.
