Traveling by train is usually not easy in China. It can be hard to get a ticket. When you’re traveling to the railway station you look at your watch, afraid you will miss your train.

But there is good news for people traveling between Beijing and Shanghai. Construction (建设) on the express railway (高速铁路) between the two cities started just before the Spring Festival of 2008. When it is finished by 2013, taking a train will be as easy as taking a bus.

“There will be trains every several minutes. Buying a ticket, getting through the checkpoint (检查站) and taking your seat, will take just 10 minutes,” said an engineer.

There may be high-speed trains running at 350 kilometers an hour. The travel time between the two cities will decease from 10 to about 5 hours. The trains will carry twice the present number of passengers.

The new line will be 1,318 kilometers long and go across specially built bridges. It will run along side the present line. There will be 21 stations in Hebei, Tianjin, Shandong, Anhui and Jiangsu.

“The cost of traveling by the express railway may be around 800 yuan. That will be more expensive than an ordinary train, but cheaper than by air.” Said Zhang Xiaoling, a Jiangsu government official.

According to Zhang, the higher price is caused by the large cost of the railway project. At about 200 billion yuan, the project may be even more expensive than the Three Gorges Project (三峡工程).

In China, most students go to school by bike or by bus. If the school is not far, they usually walk to school every day. Few students are late for class. But things are different in other countries.

In many Western countries, students live far from their schools and they have different ways to get to school. Many students go to school by car. If there is an underground system(系统) in the city, they can go by underground(地铁). In some countries, there are double-deckers. The double-decker has two floors and it can carry more people. So some students can take a double-decker to school. Scooters(踏板车) are popular with students in some Western countries. If you don't need to take a bus to school, you can go by scooter. It makes your trip more interesting and exciting. In some cold countries, such as Finland and Iceland, it often snows. The students in towns may take a bus, but the students in villages far from the school have to go by sledge(雪橇) because there is snow everywhere. It takes a little longer. Sometimes, the students may be late for school. If it snows heavily, the students have to teach themselves at home.

A Welcoming Way to Show China to the World

Modern life is not easy and full of stress. It will be nicer to get away from all the noise and congestion（拥挤）and live a simpler life in the countryside. This is what popular vlogger（网络视频录制者）Li Ziqi did.

Li was raised on a farm by her grandparents, but at the age of 14 she left the farm to work in the city. However, she found that city life was d1. and decided to move back to the countryside. “When I worked in the city, it was only about survival,” she said, “In the countryside, I am t2.living.”

When Li was back, she began making videos about her daily life and posting them to the Internet. She now has more than 20 million followers on Sina Weibo and over 7.5 million subscribers on YouTube. Her fans admire the way she makes e3. by herself: growing food and preparing traditional Chinese dishes, cutting down bamboo and making furniture, dyeing（染色）cloth and making her own clothes. The videos are beautifully made, but Li says she hopes her videos can provide people with e4. as well as fun. “I want people in the city to know where their food comes from. Some children b5. rice grows on trees!”

The idyllic（田园诗般的）countryside life Li shows has the magical power of making people feel comfortable and relaxed. When we talk about Chinese culture, the first things that come to many people might be bullet trains, 5G technology and fast-developing cities. However, it is actually the more traditional side of China that is much more a6. to people from other cultures. Through her videos, Li lets the world know that Chinese people are good at making works of a7. out of even the simplest materials — this is definitely a way to show China to the world.

九年级英语单选题简单题查看答案及解析

A serious earthquake can be a terrible experience, and it is easy to forget safety measures(措施) in disorder(混乱). Fortunately, most earthquake safety measures are common sense, but if you forget everything else, re­member the following instructions: drop, cover, and hold on. Also, most of earthquake deaths hap­pen after the earthquake, so remember that the danger does not end when the shaking does!

If you stay indoors during an earthquake, move away from unsupported areas and windows. Try to get under a doorway or another area of the building which is held up by strong beams(梁).　 Stay under a table or desk only if it is very strong. Do not rush to lifts, because it is far safer to stay where you are. Cover your head with your arms around it and curl (蜷缩) into a ball, and wait for the shaking to stop.

If you stay outdoors during an earthquake, move to an area which is as open as possible. Don’t move to build­ings, electric poles and other objects which may fall during an earthquake and injure you. Protect your head and stay low to the ground till the shaking ends and it is safe to move.

After an earthquake, many buildings are less strong, although they appear safe. If you stay indoors, move people from the building quickly and help disabled or injured people. Once outdoors, move well away from the building so that if it falls down, you will not be injured. Wait till public safety officials an­nounce that it is safe to stay indoors.

By planning ahead and keeping calm during an earthquake, you can greatly increase your chances of survival(生存) without injury.

1.The underlined word “Fortunately” in the first paragraph means ____________.

A. especially　　　　　　　　　　 B. gradually

C. luckily　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. finally

2.We can learn from the passage that earthquake safety measures ____________.

A. are planned for children B. help us to keep safe

A. to take a lift

B. to stay under a strong table

C. to get under a doorway

D. to cover the head with arms around it

4. If you stay outdoors during an earthquake, you can do all the following except ___________.

A. trying to protect your head

B. moving to an open place

C. moving away from buildings

D. taking the disabled people into the room

5.The purpose of the passage is mainly to tell us how to ____________.
