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 1 0 to 15 years eventually reaching London and Singapore China has proposed three such projects The first would possibly connect Kuming 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 somairplanes 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

project in various ways C China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries D Then foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation busi ness and tourism 17 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 tracks 18 What benefits
