If you want to travel from Xi’an to Chengdu by train, it will take about 16 hours. But starting this month, the new Xi’an-Chengdu high-speed railway will shorten this travel time to three hours.

The 643-kilometer line is China’s first high-speed railway to run through the Qinling Mountains, which form a natural boundary (分界线) between China’s north and south. With a speed of 250 km per hour, it’s also the first mountain-heavy train line to provide a 4G network. Along the way, the train passes through two areas for rare (稀有) wild animals — one for pandas and the other for crested ibises (朱鹮).

To reduce the railway’s influence on the animals, workers and experts have designed and built the railway to be environmentally friendly. There were 345 wild pandas living in the Qinling Mountains. China currently has 1,864 wild pandas in total, according to the Xinhua News Agency.

To avoid disturbing the pandas, the railway was designed to run through tunnels (隧道) within the area. 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 to make sure the birds will not fly into a train.

The nets are about 32 km long and 4 meters high. Experts tested different shapes and materials for building the nets before making their final choice.

1.From this month, it will take ________ to travel from Xi’an to Chengdu by the high speed train.

A. 16 hours　　 B. 13 hours　　 C. 3 hours　　 D. 1 hour

C. It is the best mountain-heavy train line.

D. The train passes through many areas for rare wild animals.

3.Why did people build the railway to be environmentally friendly?

A. To save money and energy.　　 B. To avoid damaging the mountains.

C. To avoid harming wild animals.　　 D. To help the train run through tunnels quietly.

4.What are experts using to stop birds from flying into the train?

A. Tunnels.　　 B. Tracks.　　 C. Protective shields.　　 D. Protective nets.

5.What is the passage about?

Do you want to travel to cool places, meet foreigners, and learn a foreign language? If you want, consider a study-abroad program. No matter what country you live in, you can learn world trade in Japan, study art in France, or take dancing lessons in Ghana.

Besides the excitement of travel, one reason to study abroad is that you will experience new customs, holidays, food, art and music. Andrew was a student who once studied in France. He said, “I learned French and now I can speak French fluently. When I was in France, I learned about cultures, people and myself. I learned a lot from the stand of a native member of the country, not from a tourist’s stand.”

Another reason for studying abroad is that you’ll gain self-confidence. Christina studied in Caracas, Venezuela, a city of 10 million people. The city is different from her hometown. Christina said she learned how to express herself in another language. That made her more confident.

Living away from home can also help you adjust in the transition to college and adulthood. Matthew said he returned from studying in Australia with confidence and practical knowledge. “After studying abroad in high school, I found the transition to college to be easy. Being 560 miles from home didn’t seem particularly daunting（使人畏缩的） after having lived thousands of miles away.”

1.How many reasons for studying abroad are mainly discussed in this text?

A. Two.　　 B. Three.

C. Four.　　 D. Five.

2.The example of Andrew is used to show that _______.

A. you can study art in France

B. you can learn French when travelling

C. you may have more chances to talk with foreigners

D. you can experience local cultures

3.What’s the purpose of this article?

A. To tell stories of English speakers.

B. To introduce study abroad program

C. To list advantages of traveling abroad.

D. To persuade people to join in a study-abroad program.

If you’re tired of the big cities and sandy beaches; if you don’t want to head to Disney again, perhaps it’s time for a summer holiday in space. Russia has declared(宣布) plans for its first floating hotel, 217 miles above earth, and it is something of an offering with good service.

Hosting just seven guests in four cabins(座舱), the accommodation (膳宿) will include huge windows with views back to earth and tasty microwave meals will be served instead of the ones often used by astronauts.

Just getting there will be an adventure in itself—it will take two days aboard a rocket—and it won’t exactly be a budget holiday: A five-day stay will cost you￡100, 000 to￡500, 000 for your journey. The hotel is due to open by 2019 and it will be far more comfortable than the International Space Station (ISS) used by astronauts and cosmonauts.

In the weightlessness of space, visitors can choose to have beds that are either vertical(垂直的) or horizontal(水平的). Tourists, who will be accompanied by experienced astronauts, will dine on food prepared on Earth and sent up on the rocket, to be reheated in microwave ovens(炉子). Many kinds of delicious food will be offered.

Iced tea, mineral water and fruit juices will be included, but alcohol will be strictly forbidden. Toilets will use flowing air instead of water to move waste through the system. Waste water will be recycled.

Sergei Kostenko, chief executive of Orbital Technologies which will construct the hotel, said: “Our planned module inside will not remind you of the International Space Station. A hotel should be comfortable inside, and it will be possible to look at the Earth. The hotel will be aimed at wealthy individuals and people working for private companies who want to do research in space.” The hotel can also be used as an emergency shelter for astronauts aboard the International Space Station if there is a disaster.

1.Which can be the best title of the passage?

A. Russia has the advanced technology in exploring space

B. The International Space Station is being built now

C. The astronauts will have a second home in space

D. Russia declares the design for its first space hotel

2.What does the underlined word “budget” in the 3rd paragraph mean?
