A Chinese consortium（联盟）led by China Railway Corp will participate in bidding for a high-speed railroad linking Singapore and Malaysia in 2018, marking another step in China’s ambitious strategy to export its high-speed railway technologies to Southeast Asia.
The consortium, consisting of eight companies including CRRC, China Railway Construction Corporation Ltd, China Railway Signal and Communication Co and Export-Import Bank of China, covers the design, construction, telecommunication, financing, operating and maintenance（维护）sectors for the high-speed rail network.
A joint tender（招标）for the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail project was issued by the Malaysian and Singaporean government-owned utilities（公用事业）—MyHSR Corp and SG HSR，on Dec 20.According to a joint statement released by the two companies, the potential bidder would be responsible for the design, construction, financing, operating and maintenance of rolling stock and railway systems for the double-track line with a designed speed of 350 kilometers per hour.
The tender is open to all companies, regardless of their location. A tender briefing will be held in Kuala Lumpur on Jan 23, and proposals need to be submitted by June 29. Submissions will be evaluated based on technical merit（优点）, commercial robustness, financial sustainability and price. The preferred bidder will be selected by the end of next year. The governments of both countries signed a bilateral（双边的）agreement late in 2016 to begin the project. According to the agreement, the high-speed rail link is expected to become operational by Dec 31, 2026, and will cut travel time between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore to just 90 minutes.
“The move indicates that China’s State-owned enterprises have stopped cruel competition to hurt each other,” said Du Chunbu, a professor of rail transportation at Beijing Jiaotong University. “Instead, they have started to form a consortium to better compete with companies from Japan, South Korea, Germany and Canada by bringing their specialties into play.”
1.What can we learn about the high-speed railroad?
A. It is expected to become operational in about five years.
B. It is designed at a speed of 350 kilometers every hour.
C. It is a single-track line linking Singapore and Malaysia.
D. It will cut travel time between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore to one hour.
2.The underlined word “robustness” in Para.4 probably means “the state of being ________”.
A. strong and unlikely to become weak
B. able to wait calmly for a long time or to accept difficulties
C. able to understand other people’s feelings and problems
D. likely to develop into a particular type of thing in the future
3.Why do eight Chinese companies join together to bid for the project?
A. To invest more money in the project.
B. To be able to finish the project ahead of time.
C. To avoid fierce competition to hurt each other.
D. To guarantee the quality of the high-speed rail project.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the news report?

The English test will be removed from China’s college entrance exam by 2020, according to details of exam and admission reform revealed by the Ministry of Education. The national college exam, known as the “Gaokao” has been used to evaluate Chinese students for three decades. The Ministry of Education has worked out a plan for reforming exams and enrollment. The Ministry will solicit(征求) public opinions before its release. Instead, tests will be held several times a year to allow students to choose when and how often they sit the exam so as to ease study pressure and change China’s once-in-a-lifetime exam system.
The plan and suggestion for its implementation(实施) will be announced in the first half of next year. It will be piloted in selected provinces and cities and promoted nationwide from 2017. A new exam and admission system will be established by 2020, according to the education ministry.
The decision has aroused a heated discussion among Shanghai educators and parents who doubted the reform would reduce the burden of learning English or if the substitute test could reflect a student’s English skills and help students learn English better.
“The reform shows China is learning from the West to give students more test-taking chances. But more chances might become more of a burden since Chinese students are likely to repeat the test until they get the highest score,” said Cai Jigang, a professor at Fudan University’s College of Foreign Languages and Literature and chairman of the Shanghai Advisory Committee for College English Teaching at Tertiary level.
Yu Lizhong, chancellor of New York University Shanghai, where classes are in English and students are required to have a high standard of English, said the most important aspect of the reform lay in what to test and how to test.
“As far as I see, the reform doesn’t mean English is no longer important for Chinese students after it will be excluded from the college entrance exam,” Yu said. “In a way, English is even more important than before since the test would only serve as reference, while every college and university, even every major, can have different requirements of a student’s English skills under a diverse evaluation system.”
Yu said some students will have their study pressure reduced if the major they choose doesn’t need excellent English while others still need to study hard if they want to be among the best students.
The education ministry said the reform would not affect students attending the college entrance exam over the next three years.
1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. English will become less and less important in the stage of compulsory education.
B. It has been 30 years since English became one subject of national college entrance exam.
C. China’s once-in-a-lifetime exam system is unacceptable at all.
D. The system that tests are held several times does more good than once-in-a-lifetime exam system.
2.According to the passage, Shanghai educators and parents argue that________.
A. the new exam and admission system will make no difference.
B. English shouldn’t be removed from China’s college entrance exam.
C. the reform may accomplish the very opposite.
D. Western educational system does not apply to China.
3.What does the passage try to express in the underlined sentence?
A. Students needn’t lay a good foundation during the period of high school.
B. Whether students should study English hard may depend on their major.
C. Students can constantly struggle for perfection only in their major.
D. English must be close to full mark.
4.What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To advise students not to devote themselves to English.
B. To call on Education Department to remove English from “Gaokao”.
C. To support the act of Ministry of Education
D. To encourage students to do as they have planned.

President Xi Jinping announced Thursday that China will cut its military by 300,000 troops, a significant reduction in one of the largest militaries in the world and a move that the Chinese leader called a gesture of peace.
“The great renewal of the Chinese nation requires efforts of one generation after another,” Xi said in a speech at Tiananmen Square remembering the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II in the Pacific. “Having created an impressive civilization of over 5,000 years, the Chinese civilization will lead to an even brighter future,” he said.
Xi’s announcement came as China staged a massive military parade in central Beijing, sending a stream of troops, tanks, and ballistic missiles(弹道) down a major east-west street as fighter jets flew overhead with multicolored smoke.
Xi’s speech kicked off the parade. An estimated 12,000 troops—about 1,000 of whom hailed (致敬) from Belarus, Cuba, Tajikistan, and other countries-marched along the 10-lane Chang’an Avenue from the commercial center wangfujing to Tiannmen Square, about 1.5 miles away. They were joined by 200 fighter jets and 500 pieces of military hardware, including tanks and ballistic missiles. Representatives from 49 countries were in attendance, including Russian leader Vladimir Putin, South Korean President Park Geun-hye and U. N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
Rory Medcalf, head of the national security college at Australian National University, said the Beijing may have decided to cut 300,000 troops “in the name of efficiency and cost saving.”
Xi conducted a “troop inspection” after his speech, riding down Chan’gan Avenue in a Chinese-made Hongqi parade car. On Thursday morning, China’s popular microblogging site Sina Weibo filled up with 350 million comments related to the parade. While many users expressed their love of their country and pride, few posts were filled with criticism. “The soldiers are too serious,” wrote one user. Others complained about the cloud of gray exhaust that followed a column of tanks.
1.Why did China make the military reduction?
A. For the efficiency and cost saving.
B. For the peace of the whole the world.
C. For the celebration of the end of World War II.
D. For the renewal of the Chinese civilization.
2.What can we infer from the passage?
A. The majority of web users think highly of the parade.
B. Many web users thought that the soldiers were lovely.
C. The parade might bring air pollution to the capital city.
D. The parade led to a heated discussion on the line.
3.What is mainly talked about in the passage?
A. China decided to cut its military forces.
B. World leaders attended China’s military parade.
C. China sowed its weapons to the world.
D. China held a military parade in Beijing.
