With 10,600 bicycles in circulation, Paris city officials are hoping the program will provide people with more environmentally friendly transportation.
It seems both Parisians and tourists are taking advantage of the program. Since its launch a little over two weeks ago, Velib has already seen almost half a million rentals. And, with the addition of 10,000 more bikes and 700 more stations in the next 12 months, city officials expect at least 200,000 regular users by year end.
Parisian Olivier Bioret has already gone for a spin on one of Velib’ s vehicles and plans to make use of them more often. "It’s a real pleasure—when, like me, you don’t have space enough in your flat to have your own bike—to be able to discover, to cross Paris and not have to take the subway," he said.
As a socialist and longtime green activist, Mayor Bertrand Delanoe regards Velib as just a part of his plan to reduce car traffic and, thus, lower pollution by 2020. Apart from its environmental benefits, Velib is also being praised as a way of collecting money for the city, for all the money from rentals goes to the city government.
Paris is not alone in its attempt to profit from the power of the bicycles. Across the globe, cities such as Barcelona, which stated its bike-share program in March with 1,500 vehicles and 100 stations, and New York, which launched a five-day trial program last month, are using bicycles as a way to cut back on both traffic and pollution.
However, it remains to be seen whether people’ s acceptance of these programs is simply a passing fashion or whether this movement has the power to take root and transform the face of public transportation around the world.
The real purpose of Velib is______.
选项
A、to help people save money and space
B、to make some money for the city government
C、to provide convenience to both Parisians and tourists
D、to reduce traffic and pollution in the city
答案
D
解析
细节题。通过第一段,“Paris city officials are hoping the program will providepeople with more environmentally friendly transportation.”即巴黎市政府希望这个项目可以为人们提供更环保的交通工具。由此可知,Velib的真正目的在于减少城市交通量和污染,故选D。另外第四段“Mayor Bertrand Delanoe regards Velib as just apart of his plan to car traffic and thus lower pollution by 2020”.市长Bertrand Delanoe认为Velib是他缓解汽车交通计划的一部分,这样的话,到2020年可以降低污染。
