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, doesnt it? but its not that unrealistic, with the development of chinas high-speed railway system. and thats 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 chinas 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 chinas high-speed railway standard. and the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanes. chinas bullet train (高速客车), the one connecting wuhan to guangzhou, already has the worlds 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, its 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.itll 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 chinas 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 theyll trade with central asian and eastern european countries.28. chinas 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 tourism29. according 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 tracks30. which of the following words best describes the authors attitude towards chinas high-speed railway plan?a. critical. b. reserved. c. doubtful d. positive.31. which of the following might be the best title for the passage?a. new railway standards b. big railway dreamsc. high-speed bullet trains d. international railway networkdhave you winterized your horse yet? even though global warming may have made our climate more mild, many animals are still hibernating(冬眠) . its too bad that humans cant hibernate. in fact, as a species, we almost did.apparently, at times in the past, peasants in france liked a semi-state of human hibernation. so writes graham robb, a british scholar who has studied the sleeping habits of the french peasants. as soon as the weather turned cold, people all over france shut themselves away and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months on end. in line with this, jeff warren, a producer at cbc radios the current, tells us that the way we sleep has changed fundamentally since the invention of artificial(人造的) lighting and the electric bulb.when historians began studying texts of the middle ages, they noticed something referred to as “first sleep”, which was not clarified, though. now scientists are telling us our ancestors most likely slept in separate periods. the business of eight hours uninterrupted sleep is a modern invention.in the past , without the artificial light of the city to bathe in, humans went to sleep when it became dark and then woke themselves around midnight. the late night period was known as “the watch”. it was when people actually kept watch against wild animals, although many of them simply moved around or visited family and neighbours.according to some sleep researchers, a short period of insomnia(失眠) at midnight is not a disorder. it is normal. humans can experience another state of consciousness around their sleeping, which occurs in the brief period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning. this period can be an extraordinarily creative time for some people. the impressive inventor, thomas edison, used this state to hit upon many of his new ideas.playing with your sleep rhythms can be adventurous, as anxiety may set in. medical science doesnt help much in this case. it offers us medicines for a full nights continuous sleep, which sounds natural; however, according to warrens theory，it is really the opposite of what we need.32. the example of the french peasants shows the fact that_.a. people might become lazy as a result of too much sleepb. there were signs of hibernation in human sleeping habitsc. people tended to sleep more peacefully in cold weatherd. winter was a season for people to sleep for months on end33. the late night was called “the watch” because it was a time for people_.a. to set traps to catch animals b. to wake up their family and neighboursc. to remind others of the time d. to guard against possible dangers34. what does the author advise people to do?a. sleep in the way animals do. b. consult a doctor if they cant sleep.c. follow their natural sleep rhythm. d. keep to the eight-hour sleep pattern.35.what is the authors purpose in writing the passage?a. to give a prescription for insomnia. b. to urge people to sleep less.c. to analyze the sleep pattern of modern people. d. to throw new light on human sleep.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项是多余的选项。eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life. every waking moment, the eyes are working to see the world around us. over
