In the eighteenth century, when horses were still the main transportation form, cities became larger and larger. People moved from the countryside and small towns to cities, because there was no more work for them to do in small towns and in the countryside.
On Sundays and holidays, they liked to leave the cities and had a good time in the countryside. But not every family had a horse and wagon. People wanted and needed another form of transportation. Inventors in many countries tried to meet this need.
The first bicycle, which was very simple, appeared in 1790. People called it “the horse on wheels”. Then in 1861, with many improvements, bicycles became a practical form of transportation.
People liked bikes because they weren't as expensive as horses. They didn't need to build a special house to keep them in, and they didn't have to feed them; they could ride them in the city and in the countryside. Everybody in a family could ride—men and women, girls and boys.
Today many people in every country in the world ride bicycles. 1—5.ABCBB 6—10.CAABC 11—15.BABAC 16—20.BCBAC

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
The behaviour of a building's users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions (排放)by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zerocarbon by 2016. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own—though extremely important—is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too.
The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency (效率)，which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.
“Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything，”explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher，“consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design.” In other words，old habits die hard, even in the bestdesigned ecohome.
Another part of the problem is information. Households and billpayers don't have the knowledge they need to change their energyuse habits. Without specific information，it's hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈) facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors，could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.
Social science research has added a further dimension (方面)，suggesting that individuals' behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted—whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器), for example.
Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them.
21．As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of________. A．zerocarbon homes
B．the behaviour of building users C．sustainable building design D．the reduction of carbon emissions
22．The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refers to“________”． A．the ways C．developments
23．What are Katy Janda's words mainly about?
B．their homes D．existing efforts
