阅读理解 Cycling in cities with proper biking infrastructure(基础设施) can give people a closer experience of traveling around a place that cars and buses simply can't. Here are four cycle-friendly cities around the world. Utrecht, Netherlands While the Netherlands' most populous city, Amsterdam, is definitely bike friendly, we're heading southeast to Utrecht, a city that has a fair claim to being the globe's most pro-two-wheel destination. In its center, up to 50% of all journeys take place by bike and local authorities are building a 12,500-space cycle parking facility advertised as the world's biggest. Copenhagen, Denmark More than half the locals in the Danish capital cycle to work or school, and with an estimated bike population of 650,000 there are slightly more cycles than people. City leaders determine not just on increasing bike use further, but promoting safe bike infrastructure that features bike lanes(车道) of up to three meters in width. Berlin, Germany Germany has been quietly getting on with boosting bike use in many of its cities. Berlin is the standout example. About 13% of all trips in the city are made by bike, nearly twice the rate of 20 years ago. Tokyo, Japan In this vast capital city, an amazing 14% of all trips are made by bike. There are practical reasons why many Tokyo residents prefer a bike to a car for shorter journeys. Before you can even buy a car in the city you must prove you possess a (are and usually expensive) off-street parking spot. However, few people cycle to work-distances tend to be long and public transport is hugely efficient. Also, a lot of cycling takes place-legally-on footpaths and sidewalks. （1） What is special about Utrecht? A . It has a much larger population than Amsterdam. B . It is the only cycle-friendly city in Netherlands. C . Cycling accounts for about half of trips downtown. D . It has the world's largest non-cycling population. （2） Which city takes security into consideration when building bike infrastructure? A . Utrecht B . Copenhagen C . Berlin D . Tokyo （3） Why do some citizens in Tokyo have a preference for a bicycle? A . They prefer to travel long distances by bike. B . They are not allowed to cycle on sidewalks. C .
