A. since B. while C. beforeD. which答案：A考查句与句之间的关系，根据文意：“之所以铁路上客运优先，是因为”。选项中，since“因为”；while“在期间”；before“在之前”；which“哪一个”。2. A. developed B. developing C. Asian D. poor答案：B根据文中的India和China及常识判断是“在很多发展中国家”。虽然印度和中国属于亚洲，但是根据文意，C项显然不够全面。3. Acity B. province C. government D. town答案：C根据文中的in Europe和四个选项可以推断government最佳，因为这样更概括一些，这里没有必要具体化。4. Amethod B. aspectC. means D. item答案：C句意是：把客运服务作为一种方式。method“(理论性较强的)方法”；aspect“方面”；means“方式，手段”；item“项目”。5. AdollarsB. storiesC. ideas D. investments答案：D由下文的“improving the comfort of”可以推断大量投资会出现。dollar(美元)过于具体；story“故事”；idea“主意”；investment“投资”。6. AcarsB. ships C. trains D. bus答案：C同义词复现。本文讲的就是铁路火车运输。7. Acomplete B. achieve C. enjoy D. run答案：B句意是：为了实现高的可变的速度。complete“完成”；achieve“实现”；enjoy“享受，喜欢”；run“跑”。8.

Alower B. lessC. fewerD. faster答案：A由文意可以推出：和客运列车相比，货运列车的可变速度更低。lower“更低”；less“更少”，修饰不可数名词；fewer“更少”，修饰可数名词；faster“更快”。10. Aincluded B. excluded C. used D. missed答案：B因为货运列车的可变速度更低，所以它经常被排除在外。include“包括在内”；exclude“排除在外”；use“使用”；miss“怀念，错过”。11.

AcompeteB. match C. fight D. quarrel答案：A由下文可知，私营铁路公司无法和客运的汽车和航空竞争。compete“竞争”；match“匹配”；fight“斗争”；quarrel“争吵”。17. Aindustry B. factory C. business D. ticket答案：Aairline industry“航运业”；是常用搭配。18.
