　　Passage 1 (長沙新東方 羅文婷)

　　New Yorkers are gradually getting used to more pedalingpassengers on those blazing blue Citi Bikes. But what about localbike shops? Is Citi Bike rolling up riders at their expense? AtGotham Bikes in Tribeca, a manager who gave his name as “Ben W。”said the shop has seen an increase in its overall sales due to thebike-share program. “It’s getting more people on the road, morepeople learning about the sport and getting involved,” he said. Anemployee at Danny’s Cycles in Gramercy said Citi Bike is a goodoption for people to ease into biking in a city famed for itsvehicular congestion and aggressive drivers. “They can try out abike without committing to buying one,” James Ryan said。

　　Rentals are not a big part of the business at eitherGotham Bikes or Danny’s Cycles. But for Frank’s Bike Shop, a smallbusiness that has been at its current Lower East Side location onGrand St. since 1976, the bike-share program has been bad news.Owner Frank Arroyo said that his rental business has decreased by90 percent since the Citi Bikes were rolled out lastmonth。

　　However, Ben said the bike-share is good for bike sales athis shop. “People have used the bike-share and realized how greatit is to bike in the city, then decide that they want somethingnicer for themselves,” he noted。

　　Christian Farrell of Waterfront Bicycle Shop, on West St.just north of Christopher St., said initially he was concernedabout bike-share, though, he admitted, “I was happy to see peopleon bikes�！�

　　Farrell’s early concerns were echoed by Andrew Crooks,owner of NYC Velo, at 64 Second Ave. “It seemed like a great idea,but one that would be difficult to implement,” Crooks said of CitiBike. He said he worried about inexperienced riders’ lack ofawareness of biking rules and backlash from non-cyclists. However,he said, it’s still too early to tell if his business has beenimpacted。

　　While it’s possible bike-share will cause a drop inbusiness in the long run, Crooks allowed that the idea, as a whole,is good for the city。

　　選詞填空1：(長沙新東方 任偉偉)

　　曾經(jīng)在課上說過單詞填空有三個(gè)做題步驟，分別是選項(xiàng)的詞性辨析，原文缺失成分的詞性猜測以及詞性相符的選項(xiàng)逐一代入，所以我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)，單詞的意思并不是解決這道題目的關(guān)鍵，相反的，對(duì)于詞性的了解更加重要。
