Seoul Metropolitan City plans to set up more bicycle-only roads to encourage citizens and travelers to use eco-friendly forms of transport. The plan is part of the city’s free bicycle scheme, which is similar to Paris’ Velib. Earlier in August, the city government announced it will install bike stations in various places around the city in much the same way as Paris is doing now.
The French city has bike stations every 300 meters with about 20,000 public bicycles in order to reduce traffic jams and lessen environmental pollution. Travelers and citizens alike can simply swipe their ordinary travel cards and borrow the bike for a short trip. They do not need to return the bike to the same pick-up point, but can leave it at the nearest Velib stand where their journey ends. The first half hour is free but bike users have to pay for every additional 30 minutes. A subscription payment ranging from one day to a few months is also available.
The 88-million-dollar plan is based on a "road diet" programme, under which the number of lanes for passenger vehicles in major roads will be cut to create new cycle paths. It calls for the construction of 17 main cycle paths totaling 200 kilometres that criss-cross the sprawling city and one downtown seven kilometre beltway. A problem confronting Seoul, however, is that the city lacks road infrastructure and related transportation law to guarantee the efficient operation of the free bicycle project.
In order to secure the safety of bike riders, the city will expand the current 55-kilometer bike-only road length to up to 360 kilometers by 2016. A total of $19.2 million will be allotted to enable bike riders to safely travel between southern and northern Seoul. In addition, the city government will introduce insurance products for bicycle riders under close cooperation with the domestic insurance industry as well as revise Transportation Law involving a bicycle. The city also will invite more ideas to better design Seoul’s version of Velib.
"Although the infrastructure construction is expensive, it will bring more benefits to the metropolitan city and its citizens by promoting the eco-friendly transportation," a Seoul city spokesman said. "Bicycle-friendly communities will make people feel safer and more comfortable while riding their bikes for purposes of both fitness and transportation. With more people bicycling, we can experience reduced traffic demands, improved air quality and greater physical fitness," he said.
23. What should travelers and citizens do when they borrow the bikes in Paris?
24. What will the city Seoul do to secure the safety of bike riders?
25. What are the benefits of promoting eco-friendly transportation according to the speaker?
选项
A、Raise the bike riders’ awareness of safety.
B、Provide free insurance for the bike riders.
C、Revise all the transportation laws in Seoul.
D、Expand the length of the bike-only roads.
答案
D
解析
录音中间提到,为了确保骑车人的安全,首尔将在2016年前将目前55公里长的自行车专用道延长至360公里。因此D项“增加自行车专用道的长度”为正确答案。选项中含有bike riders,safety,transportation,insurance等关键词,可推测问题与骑车人的安全相关。A项“提高骑车人的安全意识”没有在录音中提及;录音提到,首尔将修改与自行车相关的(involving a bicycle)交通法规,并不是B项提到的所有(all)交通法规;录音中提到了保险事宜。但未提及这是否免费,因此C项“为骑车人提供免费的保险”不正确。
