A
On your journey, there are some healthy active transport options, for example cycling.
Active transport benefits
* It’s a convenient and practical way to incorporate (并入) regular exercise into your day.
* Cycling to your stop or station helps to reduce your carbon footprint.
* The cost of buying and maintaining a bicycle is around 1% of the cost of buying and maintaining a car.
* It provides an opportunity to socialize with people in your local community.
* Cycling provides commuters (通勤者) with economical and efficient access to public transport services. On average, 10 times more households are within cycling distance of public transport than they are within walking distance.
Taking your bike on the train
You can take your bike on the train on weekdays, except during the following peak times:
* 7 a.m.-9:30 a.m. towards the CBD (Central Business District);
* 3 p.m.-6:30 p. m. outwards from the CBD;
* at any time during weekends and public holidays.
Note: You can travel in the opposite direction during the specified peak times above.
To avoid travelling during peak times, you must complete your morning journey by 7 a.m. towards the CBD and afternoon journey by 3 p.m. outwards from the CBD.
During peak hours, bikes cannot be brought through Fortitude Valley, Central or Roma Street stations. If you travel with a bike during peak times, you may be asked to leave the train until peak time ends.
Bike storage facilities
Bike facilities offer greater flexibility as you can cycle to a station and securely park your bike before continuing your journey on public transport. Queensland Rail and the City of Gold Coast also offer a number of bicycle storage facilities across our network. You can book a bike locker by emailing us at bikelockerqueries@ translink. com. au.

这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了骑自行车的好处、带自行车乘火车的注意事项以及自行车的存放设施。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Active transport benefits”部分中的“Cycling to your stop or station helps to reduce your carbon footprint.”可知，骑自行车到车站可以减少你的碳足迹，即骑自行车对环境有好处，故选A项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Taking your bike on the train”部分中的“You can take your bike on the train on weekdays, except during the following peak times: * 7 a.m.-9:30 a.m. towards the CBD (Central Business District); * 3 p.m.-6:30 p. m. outwards from the CBD; * at any time during weekends and public holidays.”可知，在以下高峰期都不能把自行车带上火车：早上7点半到9点半前往CBD方向；下午3点到6点半驶离CBD方向；在任何周末和公共假日；根据“During peak hours, bikes cannot be brought through Fortitude Valley, Central or Roma Street stations.”可知，在高峰期，自行车不能通过Fortitude Valley，Central或Roma Street站。由此可知，要通过Roma Street把自行车带上火车要避开这些高峰期。B项(下午三点前往CBD)不在高峰期时段内，故选B项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Active transport benefits”部分中的“Cycling provides commuters (通勤者) with economical and efficient access to public transport services.”可知，自行车为每天上下班的人提供了经济有效的公共交通服务，B项表述正确，故选B项。

推理判断题。根据文章整体内容，再结合文章第一段中的“On your journey, there are some healthy active transport options, for example cycling.(在你的旅途中，有一些健康积极的交通选择，例如骑自行车。)”，“Taking your bike on the train”中的“If you travel with a bike during peak times…(如果你在高峰期骑自行车旅行……)”和最后一段中的“…before continuing your journey on public transport.(在乘坐公共交通继续你的旅行之前……)”结合You can book a bike locker by emailing us at bikelockerqueries@ translink. com. au.可推断，这篇文章可能出自旅游网站。D项(一个旅行网站)符合以上推断，故选D项。
【点睛】解答文章出处题学生需要在理解文章的基础上去了解各种出处的特点，以便结合文章的内容、关键词进行准确判断。首先注意常见的出处类型的特点：如新闻报道（newspaper）的首段通常为导语，包括人物、时间、地点或事件等；科普类杂志（science magazine）或科普类说明文常会出现scientists have found; research/study shows等表明实验结果的句子；研究报告（report）,语言严肃认真，文章往往保护具体的数据或事实依据，实际情况等；传记(biography)类文章历史性强，时间线索比较明显，往往包含重要事件；网站（website）内容广泛，文章常出现click等网络用语；旅行指南（travel guide/guide book）给旅游者提供一些旅游信息，介绍当地的一些好去处，如：餐馆、公园、旅游景点等。判断本文的出处可结合关键词法，根据本文中出现的journey，travel可知，本文很可能与旅行相关。
