With a speed of 250 km an hour, its also the first mountain-heavy train line to provide a 4G network.Along the way, the train passes through two areas for important wild animals - one for pandas and the other for crested ibises（朱鹮）.In order to influence（影响）animals less, workers have built the railway to be environmentally friendly, China Daily reported.As of September, there were 345 wild pandas living in the Qinling Mountains.

Protective shields（防护屏）are placed near the entrance of each tunnel to stop animals from going in.To protect the thousands of crested ibises that fly near one part of the railway, protective nets have been set up along the tracks to make sure the birds will not fly into a train.The nets are about 32 km long and 4 meters high.

We have been taught from a young age that the color red means danger and green means its okay to move forward. But why were those colors chosen for traffic lights in the first place? For something we have to look at every day, why couldnt they have been prettier colors?Well, its import to know that before traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railway companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go, and green to mean warn. As you could imagine, trains ran into a few problems with white meaning go. For example, one train mistook a bright star for a white light and something unexpected happened. Because of that, railway companies finally moved green meaning go and used yellow to mean warn. And its been that way ever since.Red has always been a color that mean danger, long before cars were even around. This most likely started because its the color with the longest wavelength(波长) so it can be seen somewhere farther than other colors.But, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area. Finally, highly reflective materials(高反射材料) were developed and red stop signs were born. Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school zones, some traffic signs, and school buses continue to be printed yellow.So next time you are impatiently waiting at a traffic light, dont get so mad at them, theyve certainly come a long way.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。（1）What were traffic signals for before traffic lights for cars? A . TrainsB . Boats.C . PlanesD . Bicycles（2）Which of the following colors meant go at first? A . Red.B . Yellow.C . White.D . Green.（3）Why does red mean danger? A . Because its the brightest color.B . Because it can be seen far away.C . Because railway companies say so.D . Because it has the shortest wavelength.（4）Why are school buses painted yellow? A . Because yellow is a prettier color. B . Because yellow once meat danger.C . Because yellow can be seen well at all times of the day.D . Because yellow means its OK to go forward.（5）What does the text mainly tell us? A . How important traffic lights are.B . Which color has the longest wavelength.C . What red, yellow and green can be used for.D . Why traffic lights are red, yellow and green.15. （8分）阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Since May 1st, 2015, Beijing has started to allow blind people to take guide dogs onto the subway.
