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（谈判） to extend its own high-speed railway network to17 countries in 10 to15 years, eventually reaching london and singapore. china has suggested 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. 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. of course, there are many problems that need to be settled, such as safety, rail gauge(轨距) , maintenance（维修）of railway tracks. so, its important to pay attention to every detail. but the key problem is really money. china is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic(国内的 )railway expansion. china hopes that resources from other countries could stream into china to support development. itll be a win-win project. for other countries, the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business, tourism and so on. 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. 66. in chinas new high-speed railway plan, which of the following country is not included? a. singapore b. the usa c. russia d. uzbekistan67.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 tracks68. the new high-speed railway plan will bring china benefits in many aspects except_.abreakthrough on sports b. resources c. connection with asia d. development in far west69.which of the following words best describes the authors attitude towards chinas high-speed railway plan? a. critical. b. reserved（保留意见的）. c. doubtful d. positive.70. which 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.part four: writingsection a (10 marks)directions: complete the following sentences according to the chinese or initials.71. the only d_ of the plan is that it costs too much. 72. he voted for the decision m_(仅仅,只不过) because he had no other choices.73. the scientists prediction is based on darwins theory of _(进化).74. it is o_ that regular exercise is a key component of a healthy life.75. the flight was d_ because of the heavy fog.76. i do not think that women should s_(牺牲) their independence for their family77. to everyones surprise, he c_ $5,000 to a local charity.78. in the 1960s, only a small p_(百分比) of people own satellite dishes.79. under such circumstances, he began to be s_about his own judgment.80. the first real radio was c_ (制造,建造) by an italian in 1896.section b (10 marks) directions: read the following passage and answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.im not a fast reader and i dont read as much as many other people, but reading is something i enjoy. it opens new worlds to me and widens my perspective(洞察力,眼力). recently i found kobo，an online book store that allows me to buy e-books and read them on a device of my choice. im a girl living in indonesia, where e-books are not available and i had to buy physical books from amazon in the past. there are two problems with it:shipping cost. since i live far away from the united states, it costs a lot to ship a book. shipping costs almost as much as the book itself. shipping time. it takes about three weeks for the books to arrive through postal mail. now with kobo, i can eliminate those two problems. not only does it cost less time and money to get the books, but also i prefer to read e-books this way than reading physical books. here are three reasons why:i can easily bring the books everywhere. since all the books are in my ipod touch, i can simply put the device into my pocket and bring it everywhere i go. the size is smaller. the size of the ipod touch is smaller than a physical book. this makes reading more convenient for me. i can read in any position i want. the ipod has a light source, so i can read when i am in darkness. this means that i can read in practically any position and condition. one more advantage i havent mentioned is space. physical books take space, but e-books dont. 81. why does the author like reading?
