We all keep hearing that trains are slow, lose money and are dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, railways have become highly competitive with cars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they are cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, a railway takes you from the heart of a city center. It doesnt stop you as a car does on crowded roads. And no plane or car can ever carry as many goods as one train does.Far from being dead, railways are much alive. Modern railway lines give you a comfortable journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep comfortably, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at the same time? And we are only the beginning, for we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, which are traveling 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on highways and planes we cant fly in because we dont have enough money to buy the oil.（1）The writer thinks that railways are much alive because_.A . They are cheaper and more convenient.B . There arent any planes or cars.C . We can have a comfortable journey.D . We feel dangerous on highways.（2）According to the writer, which of the following is NOT true?A . It is cheaper to travel by train than by plane.B . The railway station is usually at the center of the city.C . When you get off a plane you will find yourself right in the city center.D . No car or plane can carry as many goods as train.（3）What does the underline word competitive prefer to?A . 参与性的B . 性价比高的C . 竞争性的D . 对比性的（4）The best title for this passage may be _.A . Which is the Best, Train, Car or Plane?B . Railway, not the End, but the BeginningC . Trains are More Competitive than Cars or PlanesD . Oh, Super-fast Trains12. （8分）阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 The UK should start producing lab-grown meat to help solve the worlds food crisis (危机), according to a research group. A report by the Adam Smith Institute says meat made in a laboratory is better for the environment and would be cheaper than meat produced from farm animals.Need for meat around the world is expected to increase by 70% by the year 2050. So could people be eating lab-grown meat in the future? Usually animals like cows are killed to produce the meat that people eat, but scientists have found a way to make meat in a laboratory without killing any animals.Animals are made up of cells (细胞). Scientists worked out how to take cells from an animal, like a cow, and multiply (繁殖) them in a dish. In the end from one tiny cell, tens of billions of cells can be grown. These join together to form meat.In 2013, the first hamburger grown this way was eaten in London. It took a year to produce and cost over 200, 000 to make. Dr Mark Post, who created the worlds first hamburger from meat grown in a lab, told the BBC it tastes exactly the same as the meat we know. When two food critics (评论家) tried the burger in 2013, one said it was close to meat and another said it tasted like a real hamburger. Its not just beef that is being created; companies are also working on other meat like turkey and chicken.The Adam Smith Institute says moving away from the present way meat is produced would help reduce greenhouse emissions (排放) by up to 96% and free up 99% of the land used in farming worldwide. They also think it will reduce chances of food poisoning (中毒) because the meat is grown under such controlled conditions. Jamie Hollywood from the Adam Smith Institute also told the BBC lab-grown meat could be a lot cheaper. He says the price has gone down in five years from 200, 000 to 8, so in the future it could be even less.（1）The main idea of Paragraph 3 is _. A . what lab-grown meat isB . how lab-grown meat is madeC . what lab-grown meat tastes likeD . when people can eat lab-grown meat（2）The writer mentions two food critics in Paragraph 4 to show that _. A . lab-grown meat is cheaperB . chicken meat can be made in the labC . lab-grown meat tastes similar to animal meatD . English people first tasted lab-grown meat（3）The writer probably agrees that _. A . lab-grown meat will cause a lot of problemsB . lab-grown meat tastes better than animal meatC . making lab-grown meat will cost too much moneyD . lab-grown meat can help solve the worlds food crisis（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A . Could lab-grown meat be the future of food?B . What does lab-grown meat taste like?C . When could people eat lab-grown meat?D . What is lab-grown meat and how is it made?13. （8分）阅读理解Mr. Whites family decided to repair their house. Mr. White bought the house two and a half years ago.

Then they can choose some other subjects.I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch. British food is very different. British people like eating desserts(甜点) which usually come after their main meal.
