4.DImagine,one day,getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours,and then,after a full day of work,going back home to Beijing and having dinner there.Sounds unusual,doesn't it? But it's not that unrealistic,with the development of China’s high—speed railway system.And that’s not a11.China has an even greater high—speed railway plan—to connect the country with Southeast Asia,and eventually Eastern Europe.China is negotiating to extend its own high·-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 1 0 to 15 years,eventually reaching London and Singapore.China has proposed three such projects.The first would possibly connect Kunming withSingapore via Vietnam and Malaysia.Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan,and possibly to Germany.The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.If China’s plan for the high-speed railway goes forward,people could zip over from London to Beiling in under two days.The new system would still follow China’s high—speed railway standard.And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour,almost as fast as some airplanes.China’s bullet train(高速客车),the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou,already has the World’s fastest average speed.It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours. Of course,there are some technical challenges to overcome.There are so many issues that need to be settled,such as safety,rail gauge(轨距),maintenance of railway tracks.So,it’s important to pay attention to every detail.But the key issue is really money.China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion.China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rath er than with capital investment.Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development.It’11 be a win-win project. For other countries,the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business,tourism and so on,not to mention the better communication among those countnes.For China,such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources,but would also help develop China’s far west.We foresee that in the coming decades,millions of people will migrate to the western regions,where the land is empty and resources unused.With high-speed trains,people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for a11.And they’11 trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.67.China’s new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because .A.China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regionsB.China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various waysC.China will develop its railway system and communication with other countriesD. the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation,business and tourism

    阅读短文,判断句子正误,正确的写T,错误的写F。

    The world's longest high -speed railway route, running from Beijing to Guangzhou, has been in operation for a few years. It cuts travel time between the two cities from 22 hours to only 8 hours. With comfortable seats and quiet cabins, this high -speed line offers a pleasant journey for thousands of travelers.

    The high speed railway connects Beijing with five provincial capitals. Part of the line, from Zhengzhou to Guangzhou, was in operation before the whole line was connected. The opening of the Beijing to Zhengzhou section has connected the entire line. It covers a total length of 2,298 kilometers.

    The Beijing -Guangzhou line connects one third of China's population and more than 40 percent of its economic power. Travelers benefit from the efficient network, and find that their hometowns are not that far away.

    As the American publication Newsweek puts it: China is now engaged in a“railway revolution”. These350 kilometer per hour high -speed railway trains have made the country's vast territory “substantially smaller”,and changed the country economically.

    ()26. The world's longest high-speed railway route is from Beijing to Guangzhou.

    ()27. It takes only 10 hours from Guangzhou to Beijing by train.

    ()28. The opening of the Beijing to Zhengzhou section has linked with the total route.

    ()29. The Beijing-Guangzhou line connects one third of China's population and more than 40 percent of its economic power.

  • 第6题:

    共用题干
    A Letter from Alan
    I have learnt of a plan to build three hundred houses on the land called Parson's Place by the football ground .Few people know about this new plan to increase the size of our town.For me,
    Parson's Place is special because it is a beautiful natural area where local people can relax-the small wood has many unusual trees and the stream is popular with fishermen and bird-watchers'
    It's very quiet because there are few houses or roads nearby.I think that losing this area will be terrible because we have no other similar facilities in the neighbourhood.
    I am also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems.How will the people from the new houses travel to work?The motorway and the railway station are on the other side of town.
    Therefore,these people will have to drive through the town centre every time they go anywhere.
    The roads will always be full of traffic,there will be nowhere to park and the tourists who come to see our lovely old buildings will leave .Shops and hotels will lose business.If the town really needs more homes,the empty ground beside the railway station is a more suitable place.
    No doubt the builders will make a lot of money by selling these houses.But,in my opinion, the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan.As well as this,we will lose a very special place and our town will be much less pleasant.
    I am going to the local government offices on Monday morning to protest about this plan and I hope that your readers will join me there.We must make them stop this plan before it is too late.

    What will cause traffic jams?
    A: Buildings on Parson's Place.
    B: Building near the railway station.
    C: Travelers in the narrow streets.
    D: People going to the shops and hotels.

    答案:A
    解析:
    细节题。根据第一段“Few people know about… the size of our town.”以及对全文理解可知,Alan写这封信是为了让其他人了解建筑商计划。因此D项正确。
    细节题。根据第一段“For me , Parson's Place is…with fishermen and bird-watchers.” 可以知道答案。因此C项正确。
    细节题。根据第二段中“The roads will always be full of traffic…see our lovely old buildings will leave.”可以知道,如果按照建筑商的计划,公路上将总是有很多车辆,却没有地方来停车。因此A项正确。
    细节题。根据第三段中“But, in my opinion , the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan.”可知道答案。因此D项正确。
    主旨题。Alan在本文中一直在说抵制建筑商在帕森场上建造房屋的计划。因此B 项正确。

  • 第17题:

    Text 1 In January commuters voted Birmingham New Street one of Britain's worst railway stations.Each day nearly 150.000 people move through a structure built for half as many.But by next year it will be transformed.with 400 tonnes of undulating steel cladding and a vaguely eyeball appearance.The station will have"the wow factor",boasts Sir Albert Bore,the leader of Birmingham city council.It will also show how much attitudes to railway stations have changed.Railxvay stations are the chief exception to the rule that Britain invests too little in infrastructure.Of the I 7 big termini managed by Network Rail,the owner of Britain's tracks,11 are being redeveloped or have recently been completed.Five other stations,including Reading and Northampton,are being spruced up by local councils and Network Rail.Somc simply need to be expanded:the number of train journeys has risen by 35%since 2005.But the design of New Street suggests aspirations well beyond more easeful travel.The building would not look out of place in Dubai and is striking,if slightly incongruous,in the grey West Midlands.City planners wanted something monumental,like Grand Central station in New York,says Sir Bernard Zissman,chaiman of the independent design paneL"Twenty or thirty years ago business people were more likely to arrive in a city by car,"explains Jon Neale of Jones Lang LaSatle,a property specialist.Town planners duly carved out motorways and roundabouts to entice them.In 1962 a local politician claimed that a new design for Birmingham,involving an inner ring road,would make it"one ofthe finest city centres in Europe".Cities now measure their appeal by their stations.Businesses cluster around them:at King's Cross,a once-grimy part of north London,a postcode has been created for all the new buildings around the station,which was redeveloped in 2013.John Lewis,an upmarket department store,will open in the mall above New Street(which is indeed called"Grand Central")along with 60 0ther shops.The council hopes it will pull in visitors to the city.Such ambition recalls the stations ofthe 19th century.Those structures"spoke to the corporate sensibility of a city,"says Tristram Hunt,an MP and historian,by combining commerce with the sheen of civic pride.The first New Street station,built in 1851,had the largest single-span roofin the country at the time.It was tom down by enthusiastic 1960s town planners.Now some ofits original lustre may retum.
    The best title for the text may be______.

    A.The New Concept of Railway Station
    B.A Big Failure of Railway Station
    C.A Feverish Dream of Railway Station
    D.A Citizen's Planning of Railway Station

    答案:A
    解析:
    主旨大意题。做此类题目时,关键是通过做完其他四道题,大体知道文章的中心,再次通读各段首句,验证中心。本文的思路也很明确,主要是说明伯明翰铁路的改造,给铁路的设计注入新的理念,而与这个信息相匹配的选项为A项The New Concept of Railway Station“新概念下的火车站”,所以A项为正确选项。【干扰排除】虽然其他的三个选项也提到了铁路,但是修饰语都存在问题,特别是B项与主题不相符,因此应当排除。
