People love to travel. In the 1970s, anyone who was lucky enough to have a bicycle would be the envy (羡慕的对象) of others. Then, green trains came out, but they ran at a speed of 50km per hour. By the 2010s, the speed of China’s fastest trains had risen to 350km per hour.
As for my mom, she had her first train trip when she was 17. But now children at my age can visit many places thanks to the highly developed transportation network. I have visited Beijing, Xizang and Xiamen so far.

任务三:阅读理解B(20 分)
For student Chen Honghan, the journey to school has changed from a treacherous 3-hour walk to a safe thirty-minute trip that feels like flying through the clouds, thanks to the “cloud school bus”.
Chen comes from Nizhuhe Village located at the border of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. For years, Chen and her classmates walked on muddy routes to reach their school high on the top of the cliffs (悬崖).
However, this challenging journey has now changed into a wonderful tour. They first take a 6-minute scenic bus ride and then take a lift that climbs 268 metres. Next, they take a cable car ride that climbs over 200 metres. After a 1-kilometre walk, they arrive at the school in just under 30 minutes.
The change began with the introduction of the eco-cultural tourism in 2017. The project helped build a cliffside lift in 2018 and a cable car in 2022. They were made free for the villagers there.
The “cloud school bus” not only safely sends the village children to school but also attracts many tourists to the area.
In 2024, 300,000 visitors came, bringing in the profit of nearly 20 million yuan. This also has improved villagers’ lives, with many starting businesses like farmstays, coffee shops and guest houses. Additionally, some villagers have returned to their hometowns to contribute to this growth.
Cai Xiong is one of them who led many amazing projects like the cliffside lift. “This tourism project is not only meant to help the villagers succeed, but also to serve as a ‘ladder to the clouds’ for the children. I hope they will climb this ladder, gain experience and grow, and finally return with the skills to make their hometown even better,” he said.
( )6. What does the underlined word “treacherous” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Busy. B. Dangerous. C. Boring. D. Long.
( )7. What is the correct order of the students’ journey to school at present?
( )8. Which is NOT an advantage of the “cloud school bus”?
A. It improves students’ safety during their school journey.
B. It attracts a great number of tourists to visit Nizhuhe Village.
C. It provides villagers with better lives and a bright future.
D. It encourages villagers to leave their village for better jobs.
( )9. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To describe the dangers of walking to school in mountainous areas.
B. To explain how education has improved in Yunnan and Guizhou.
C. To show how a tourism project changed villagers’ lives and education.
D. To introduce Cai Xiong’s contributions to building lifts and cable cars.

任务五:Dear Henry,
I am glad that you are interested in the village in Fujian. Let me tell you something about it.
Over the past few years, the village has changed a lot. When I was a child, the village used to be a backward place. There were no nice buildings and the roads were so narrow and dirty. People lived a poor life.
At present, it has become modern and developed a lot. Now, the people here are richer than before. Most people go to work by bus or by taxi. Sometimes, they also drive their private cars to work.
In some ways, the development has brought some good things, but it has also caused much environmental pollution. I think we should develop the village while taking action to reduce the pollution.
Yours,
Li Hua
