Its always a mystery to me when they talk about the crowded and noisy train compartments*, wheels clicking on the rails, and the boring and tiring journeys.However, train travel is quite a different experience today, especially after high-speed rail was widely put into service in China. Nothing can match train journeys for the comfort and speed. Few things could be more impressive than Chinas high-speed rail system, especially the speed at which it developed-and is still developing. Such speed is known as China speed.China speed means a lot to the country. The past 30 years have witnessed Chinas rapid development in various areas, like the economy and technology. Weve seen dozens of tall buildings appear almost overnight, with roads and highways connecting every comer. And mobile payments and online shopping are playing increasingly important roles in everyones life. China speed has changed our country and impressed the world. But as we enjoy the benefits of China speed, the problems it brings us cant be ignored, such as the air pollution or traffic problems. As a high price is being paid, maybe we should think about what China speed will bring us in the next 30 years. We need to know that our future depends on the choices we make today, so it is our duty to give China speed a new definition. If you pay close attention to the word speed, you might notice that each letter stands for something interesting: Society, Progress, Economy, Environment and Development. Our societys progress depends largely on the balance among our economy, the environment, and the development of our future. That is what we need to keep in mind as China continues to speed ahead.（1）According to the passage, what is the train travel like nowadays? A . Noisy and crowded.B . Fast but crowded.C . Slow but comfortable.D . Fast and comfortable.（2）What does China Speed mean to our country? A . It means that no trains will be faster than the Chinese trains today.B . It means that China has become the strongest country in the world.C . It means China is developing very quickly in many areas nowadays.D . It means we will surely have a good future in the next thirty years.（3）Which of the following shows us the benefits of China Speed? A . It takes just one night to build tip tall buildings.B . More and more people find it easy to shop online.C . We have paid high price on the rapid development.D . There are almost no traffic problems in our daily life.（4）What does the writer want to tell us in this passage? A . China should develop more quickly.B . China has developed enough.C . We should stop to solve the problems.D . We should balance the SPEED.5. （10分）阅读所给材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Boys and girls, we have some interesting and fun things for you this term.
