Ⅲ.阅读理解 Imagine，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 all.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 10 to 15 years，eventually reaching London and Singapore. China has proposed three such projects.The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore 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 Beijing 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 1069 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 rather than with capital investment.Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development. It'll 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 countries. 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 all.And they'll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries. 1China's new high－speed railway plan will be a win－win project because ______. A．China will get much－needed resources and develop its western regions B．China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways C．China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries D．the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation，business and tourism 2According to the passage，the greatest challenge to the new high－speed railway plan is ______. A．technical issues B．safety of the system C．financial problems D．maintenance of railway tracks 3Which of the following words best describes the author's attitude towards China's high－ speed railway plan? A．Critical. B．Reserved. C．Doubtful. D．Positive. 4Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A．New Railway Standards B．Big Railway Dreams C．High－speed Bullet Trains D．International Railway Network 参考答案 Ⅰ.1 解析：考查连词用法。句意：在会上提出了许多问题，但他一个也没有回答。but“但 是”，为表示转折的并列连词，符合句意。 答案：A 2 解析：考查连词用法。句意：尽管他收到了担任公司主席的邀请，据我所知，他却拒 绝接受。although“虽然，尽管”，引导让步状语从句，符合句意。unless“除非”，if“如 果”，都引导条件状语从句；because“因为”，引导原因状语从句。 答案：A 3 解析：句意：大多数人成功地从燃烧的船上及时地爬出来。然而，有 4 人因为不够快 而没有逃出火海。however“然而”，表示转折，符合句意。although“尽管”，引导让步状 语从句；besides“而且”；meanwhile“与此同时”。 答案：A 4 解析：本题考查连词的选用。倍数 more than twice 后是 as，很显然本题符合倍数句型：... 倍数＋as＋形容词＋as...，故空格处应填 as。题意为“根据数据统计可知，男性死于皮肤癌 的可能性是女性的两倍多”。 答案：D 5 解析：考查比较级倍数表达法。as...as 同级比较结构的修饰语应放在第一个 as 的前面， 故答案应为 B 项。 答案：B 6 解析：句意为“建造这些节能的房屋不仅需要建筑材料，也需要智力”。more than 在此处意为“不仅仅”，相当于 not only。other than 意为“除了”；rather than 意为“而非， 而不是”；less than 意为“少于”。 答案：B 7 解析：考查连词。although 意为“虽然，尽管”；as long as 意为“如果，只要”；if only 意为“要是……就好了”；as soon as 意为“一……就……”。根据句意选择 A 项。 答案：A 8 解析：考查连词。句意：这真不公平。我上个月在做服务员，而我的朋友却躺在海滩 上(玩)。前后分句是对比关系。四个选项中只有连词 while 有这种用法。 答案：D 9 解析：句意为“熟练工人的收入增加了，而与此同时，非熟练工发觉他们的收入下降 了”。meanwhile 在此处意为“与此同时”，用于比较同时发生的两件事；moreover 意为“而 且，此外”；therefore 意为“因此，所以”；otherwise 意为“否则，要不然”。 答案：C 10 解析：句意为：“要把钱花在通过提高健康的生活质量来防止疾病上，而不是花在 生病后的治疗康复上。”第一空中，把钱的两种投入方式进行对比，所以用比较级；第二空， make people better 使身体恢复健康，含有“越来越好”之意，所以也用比较级。 答案：C Ⅱ.1~10 答 案 ： 1.called 2.girls 3.was born 4.gave 5.cleverest 6.could 7.reading 8.his 9.things 10.swimming Ⅲ.1 解析：细节理解题。win－win 意为“双赢的”。文章倒数第二段说明了这一高速 铁路计划会给其他国家带来的益处；最后一段说明了这一计划会给中国带来的益处。正因为 对中国和其他国家都有好处，所以这是一个“双赢的项目”。 答案：B 2 解析：细节理解题。从文章倒数第四段第一句话可知，虽然这一项目面临着很多困难， 但最重要的问题是钱的问题，所以答案为 C 项。 答案：C 3 解析：推理判断题。critical 意为“批评的”；reserved 意为“保留的”；doubtful 意 为“怀疑的”；positive 意为“积极的；肯定的”。从全文看，作者阐明了这一项目的诸多 益处，而且中国已经开通了武汉至广州的高速列车，所以作者对这一项目的态度是积极肯定 的。 答案：D 4 解析：主旨大意题。从文章可以看出，这一项目还只是一个美好的想法，要想实施还 有很多问题要解决，所以用 B 项作为标题最恰当。 答案：B
