Ⅳ.阅读理解
Hello, I’m Rob. Welcome to our programme.Today we’re talk- ing about high-speed train travel.Many countries have very fast trains that transport people from city to city in super-quick time . Yes, high-speed train travel is becoming popular . Well, we ’ll be finding out why the UK is hoping to do something that is already popular by building a new high-speed rail line.
We know that high-speed train travel has many good things. It helps to ease traffic, cause less pollution, move lots of people and it ’s quick.Yes, speed is important.Now, the TGV train in France takes about three hours to travel over 750 kilometres from Paris to Marseille in the south—very impressive.
But the UK has been slow to build high-speed rail lines. It has one from London to Paris, but the Transport Secretary, Patrick McLoughlin, thought one line was not good enough. People can go
from London to Paris on high-speed trains , but can ’t go from London to Birmingham. That means you can get to Paris by train more quickly than you can travel to many British cities The government wanted to build another one—called HS2— connecting London to the middle and north of England.
But not everyone agreed to the plan and there was much dis- cussion.Some said it would be very expensive to build, although some experts(专家) said for every 1 pound spent , it would bring 2 pounds back. There were also worries that some of the countryside would be destroyed.It could be a long time before a final decision was made. So now we’ll just have to accept that our trains in the UK will carry on at an unhurried speed while we watch with envy as another country ’s high-speed train pass- es us by!
Thank you.We hope you will enjoy today ’s programme.
18.What is the type of the programme?
A.A news review. B.A drama series.
C.A chat show. D.A weekly round-up.
19.Why does Rob mention the TGV train in paragraph 2?
A.To explain how it works.
B.To show how fast it travels.
C.To report how far it goes.
D.To prove how famous it is.
20.What can we infer from the article about the high-speed train in the UK?
A.It is slow. B.It is expensive.
C.It falls behind. D.It becomes popular.
Ⅴ.任务型阅读
Every day, we open and close doors with nothing special happening.But that ’s different for Suzume in the film Suzume (《铃 芽之旅》).
One day, the 17-year-old girl met a boy and followed him to find a door in some ruins (废墟).After she opened the door, she found a secret! The door connects to a world full of those who have died in earthquakes, and opening the door brings disasters. As doors began to open one after another in Japan , Suzume started her journey of door-locking.As a typical work of Japanese director Makoto Shinkai, the film continues the topic of “love ” and “missing ”, when Suzume tries to see her mother who died in an earthquake from the other side of the door.
But what makes the movie stand out is that instead of personal experiences like friendship or romance, it makes humans think of the common memory of disaster and hope. After the long-period of sadness of her mother ’s death, Suzume begins to be reconciled (和 解) with herself as she realizes that other people have moved on.
This may also be what the director Shinkai wants to tell people around the world: All will be fine in the end no matter how difficult and challenging the situation is .We are supposed to look forward to a better future. Just as Suzume told her younger self, “I never lost anything and the future is never fearful. ”

One possible version:
Watching TV
Nowadays, watching TV is one of the most important activities in our life.
We can enjoy sounds and pictures on it. Now there are a great number of different TV programmes and we can choose what we like . By watching TV, we can learn about the world better. Watching TV can also make us happy and relaxed after a day ’s hard work.
However, watching too much TV is bad for our eyes. While watching TV , we move little . If we watch too much TV , we will usually feel so tired and sleepy and it will influence our work and study, and we won ’t have enough time to communicate with others.
In my opinion, I think we should choose correct programmes, and we can’t lose ourselves in watching TV.
