This historic moment signifies that China's high-speed rail (HSR) network has now exceeded 50,000 kilometers. As a key milestone, it has reshaped people's travel patterns, and Yan'an, a renowned old revolutionary base, has officially entered the high-speed rail era. China's HSR network forms the backbone of the national "eight vertical and eight horizontal" transportation grid, connecting cities across the country like a vast web. It has brought profound changes to people's lives. Currently, a 500-kilometer journey can be completed in one to two hours, a 1,000-kilometer trip takes about four hours, and even a 2,000-kilometer journey can be finished within a single day. The ancient Chinese dream of "traveling a thousand miles in a day" has become a reality, offering more convenient and efficient travel to millions of people. Every day, HSR trains can carry up to 16 million passengers—equivalent to the population of a megacity. At present, HSR serves 97% of Chinese cities with a population of over 500,000. China's HSR success has gained global recognition. It boasts the world's longest HSR network, longer than the combined total of all other countries. From the Harmony series to the Fuxing EMUs, China's HSR technology is now among the world's top tier. Foreign visitors often praise these trains as "extremely smooth" and "a technological wonder." Beyond transporting passengers, HSR drives regional economic development, supports green travel, and improves people's quality of life. With continuous investment in the network, China is expected to achieve more exciting innovations and create a brighter future for transportation. 1.What event marks China's HSR network exceeding 50,000 kilometers? A. The launch of the Fuxing smart EMU train. B. The opening of the Xi'an-Yan'an High-Speed Railway. C. The completion of the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" grid. D. Yan'an becoming a revolutionary base. 2.How has HSR changed people's travel according to the passage? A. A 500-kilometer trip now takes a whole day. B. It has made "traveling a thousand miles in a day" a reality. C. It only serves large cities with over 1 million people. D. It carries 16 million passengers every week. 3.What is a feature of China's HSR network? A. It is the longest in the world. B. Its technology is borrowed from other countries. C. It mainly focuses on passenger transport in small cities. D. It is shorter than the combined HSR networks of other countries. 4.What can we infer from the passage? A. HSR has no impact on regional economic development. B. The Fuxing trains are less advanced than the Harmony series. C. HSR contributes to environmentally friendly travel. D. Yan'an had a high-speed rail network before 2023. 第二节七选五题（词数：290词） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 China's high-speed rail (HSR) has recently hit a historic milestone—its network now exceeds 50,000 kilometers, ranking first in the world.

This historic moment signifies that China's high-speed rail (HSR) network has now exceeded 50,000 kilometers.”，即西延高铁开通是里程突破5万公里的标志。A选项“复兴号智能动车组推出”，原文是该列车发车标志高铁开通，并非直接标志里程突破；C选项“‘八纵八横’网格完成”，原文仅说高铁是该网格的骨干，未提及网格已完成；D选项“延安成为革命根据地”，延安本身是著名革命根据地，与高铁里程突破无关。故选B。 2. 第2题 考点：考查细节信息筛选与正误判断能力。 解析：根据第二段“The ancient Chinese dream of 'traveling a thousand miles in a day' has become a reality”可知，高铁实现了“千里一日还”的梦想。A选项“500公里行程需一整天”与原文“a 500-kilometer journey can be completed in one to two hours”矛盾；C选项“仅服务百万人口以上大城市”，原文是“serves 97% of Chinese cities with a population of over 500,000”（服务97%的50万人口以上城市）；D选项“每周运送1600万乘客”，原文是“every day”（每天）而非“every week”。故选B。 3. 第3题 考点：考查对中国高铁网络特征的理解与信息匹配。 解析：第三段明确指出“It boasts the world's longest HSR network, longer than the combined total of all other countries.”，即中国高铁网络是世界最长的。B选项“技术借鉴自其他国家”，原文提到“China's HSR technology is now among the world's top tier”（技术跻身世界一流），未提及借鉴；C选项“主要聚焦小城市客运”，与“connecting cities across the country”“serves 97% of Chinese cities with a population of over 500,000”不符；D选项“比其他国家高铁网络总和短”，与原文“longer than the combined total of all other countries”矛盾。故选A。 4. 第4题 考点：考查推理判断能力，需基于原文信息合理推断。 解析：第三段提到“HSR drives regional economic development, supports green travel”，可推断高铁助力环保出行。A选项“对区域经济发展无影响”与原文“drives regional economic development”矛盾；B选项“复兴号不如和谐号先进”，原文仅按时间顺序提及“从和谐号到复兴号”，未比较先进程度，且均属于世界一流技术；D选项“延安2023年前已有高铁”，原文明确西延高铁开通后“Yan'an... has officially entered the high-speed rail era”，说明此前无高铁。故选C。 二、七选五题（第二节） 答案：1.G 2.D 3.B 4.A 5.C 解析： 考点：考查语篇逻辑连贯与上下文衔接能力，需根据空格前后句意和段落结构匹配选项。 1. 空格后具体说明“12月26日西延高铁开通，复兴号发车标志这一时刻”，是对“中国高铁如何达到5万公里”的回答，G选项“How did China's HSR network reach 50,000 kilometers?”（中国高铁网络如何达到5万公里？）提出问题，引出下文具体事件，符合逻辑。 2. 空格前介绍高铁是“八纵八横”网格的骨干，空格后说“像密集的网连接全国城市”，D选项“Yan'an, an old revolutionary base, has entered the HSR age.”（革命老区延安已进入高铁时代）承接前文“西延高铁开通”的背景，且与第一段末句呼应，衔接自然。 3. 空格后具体说明不同里程行程的耗时，体现“长途旅行更快捷高效”，B选项“HSR has made long-distance travel faster and more efficient.”（高铁让长途旅行更快捷高效）概括该段核心，后文为具体例证，符合总分逻辑。 4. 空格前提到“每天运送多达1600万乘客”，A选项“This number is roughly equal to the population of a megacity.”（这个数字大致相当于一个特大城市的人口）中的“This number”指代前文“16 million passengers”，解释该数字的意义，衔接紧密。 5. 空格前说“中国高铁成就获全球认可”，空格后补充“技术跻身世界一流”，C选项“It is the longest HSR network worldwide, longer than all others combined.”（它是全球最长的高铁网络，比其他所有国家的总和还长）是全球认可的具体成就之一，与后文技术优势并列，符合语境。 三、完形填空题（第三部分第一节） 答案：1.B 2.A 3.C 4.B 5.D 6.B 7.A 8.C 9.A 10.B 11.B 12.C 13.A 14.C 15.A 解析： 考点：考查词汇辨析、固定搭配、上下文语境理解等语言运用能力。 1. 该成就“发生”在12月26日西延高铁开通时，B. happened（发生）；A. ended（结束）、C. failed（失败）、D. paused（暂停）均与“历史性突破”语境矛盾，故选B。 2. 延安因此“进入”高铁时代，A. entered（进入）；B. left（离开）、C. avoided（避免）、D. missed（错过）均不符合文意，故选A。 3. 高铁网络像大网一样“连接”全国城市，C. connecting（连接）；A. dividing（划分）、B. protecting（保护）、D. separating（分离）均与“网络”的功能矛盾，故选C。 4. 高铁在很多方面“改变”了人们的生活，B. changed（改变）；A. ruined（摧毁）、C. ignored（忽视）、D. wasted（浪费）均与“便捷高效”的积极语境不符，故选B。 5. 500公里行程现在能在1-2小时内“完成”，D. completed（完成）；A. saved（节省）、B. delayed（延迟）、C. canceled（取消）均不符合“行程耗时”的语境，故选D。 6. “千里一日还”的古老梦想成为“现实”，B. reality（现实）；A. dream（梦想，与“ancient dream”重复且逻辑矛盾）、C. problem（问题）、D. mystery（谜团）均不符合，故选B。 7. 高铁每天能“运送”多达1600万乘客，A. carry（运送）；B. stop（停止）、C. meet（遇见）、D. train（训练）均与“乘客”搭配不当，故选A。 8. 服务97%的“人口”超过50万的中国城市，C. population（人口）；A. area（面积）、B. history（历史）、D. distance（距离）均与“500,000”的数量属性不符，故选C。 9. 中国高铁的成功“全世界”闻名，固定搭配“be known around the world”（闻名世界）；B. above（在……之上）、C. below（在……之下）、D. against（反对）均不搭配，故选A。 10. 其网络比其他所有国家“总和”还长，B. combined（合计的）；A. added（添加的）、C. chosen（选定的）、D. invited（受邀的）均不符合“总和”的含义，故选B。 11. 中国高铁技术跻身世界“一流”，B. best（最好的）；A. worst（最差的）、C. oldest（最古老的）、D. newest（最新的）均与“全球认可”矛盾，故选B。 12. 高铁不仅仅“运送”乘客，C. transport（运送）；A. feed（喂养）、B. teach（教导）、D. cheat（欺骗）均与高铁功能不符，故选C。 13. 高铁为人们“带来”更好的生活，A. brings（带来）；B. lends（借出）、C. owes（欠）、D. returns（归还）均不符合语境，故选A。 14. 随着对高铁网络的持续投资，中国“准备好”在未来实现更多创新，C. ready（准备好的）；A. afraid（害怕的）、B. sorry（抱歉的）、D. lucky（幸运的）均不符合发展预期的语境，故选C。 15. 这一全球领先的交通系统是中国发展实力的“象征”，A. symbol（象征）；B. secret（秘密）、C. problem（问题）、D. challenge（挑战）均与“民族自豪感”的语境不符，故选A。 四、语篇填空题（第三部分第二节） 答案：1.marking 2.enter 3.connecting 4.be completed 5.bringing 6.more 7.longest 8.is 9.carrying 10.is expected 解析： 考点：考查非谓语动词、时态语态、形容词比较级和最高级、固定搭配等语法知识。 1. 此处为非谓语动词作伴随状语，“the Fuxing smart EMU train”与“mark”（标志）是主动关系，故填marking。 2. 使役动词“make”后接省略to的不定式作宾语补足语，即“make sb./sth. do sth.”，故填enter。 3. 此处为非谓语动词作后置定语，“HSR network”与“connect”（连接）是主动关系，用现在分词connecting。 4. 主语“a 500-kilometer journey”与“complete”（完成）是被动关系，情态动词“can”后接be+过去分词，故填be completed。 5. 此处为非谓语动词作结果状语，“the ancient dream... becoming a reality”与“bring”（带来）是主动关系，故填bringing。 6. 固定搭配“more than”（超过），结合空格后的“than”，填many的比较级more。 7. 由“longer than the combined total of all other countries”可知，此处用形容词最高级，long的最高级为longest。 8. 主语“China's HSR technology”是单数，全文时态为一般现在时，故填is。 9. 介词“Beyond”后接动名词作宾语，故填carry的动名词形式carrying。 10. 主语“China”与“expect”（期待）是被动关系，即“中国被期待”，全文时态为一般现在时，故填is expected。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
