Before then, the only transport links between Mombasa, Kenya’s main port, and Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, were rough roads and an old railway line built in 1901. The old trains were very slow. It took 10 hours to get to Nairobi from Mombasa by train. However, the new railway, built with China’s help, has already cut the travel time between Mombasa and Nairobi to about four hours for passengers. Now, more than two million people use it every year. Local Kenyans have benefited a lot from the new railway. A government worker said, “I’m very happy with the new railway built by our Chinese friends. Many changes have taken place in the town over the last few years, and the people who live here have become rich.” A businessman said, “My experience of using the train since 2017 has been good. It is very convenient and doesn’t cost much money. I am able to get to places on time and make business deals with ease.” The railway has also made the transport of food easier. “Food used to take hundreds of lorries to carry between the two cities, but now it takes only two or three trains,” said a supermarket manager. As a result, people now have more fresh food to eat. Although China and Kenya are far away from each other, the railway shows how different countries can work together to build a better world. 【Task 1】 Match the numbers with the information. about 4 10 480 1901 2017 over 2 million 1.___________:the year the new railway was opened 2.___________:the year the old railway line was built 3.___________:the number of people who use the new train every year 4.___________:the length of the Mombasa-Nairobi railway in kilometres 5.___________: the hours it used to take to reach Nairobi from Mombasa by train 6.___________: the hours it takes to reach Nairobi from Mombasa now by train 【Task 2】 Read the passage carefully, choose the best answer. 1. When was the Mombasa‑Nairobi new railway put into use?

Before then, the only transport links between Mombasa, Kenya’s main port, and Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, were rough roads and an old railway line built in 1901. The old trains were very slow. It took 10 hours to get to Nairobi from Mombasa by train. 2017年，全长480公里的蒙巴萨—内罗毕新铁路正式通车。在此之前，肯尼亚主要港口蒙巴萨与首都内罗毕之间，仅有坑洼的公路和一条1901年建成的老旧铁路作为交通通道。老式火车速度十分缓慢，坐火车从蒙巴萨前往内罗毕需要耗费10个小时。 However, the new railway, built with China’s help, has already cut the travel time between Mombasa and Nairobi to about four hours for passengers. Now, more than two million people use it every year. 而这条由中国协助修建的新铁路，将两地客运时长缩短至约4小时。如今每年有超两百万人次乘坐这条线路。 Local Kenyans have benefited a lot from the new railway. A government worker said, “I’m very happy with the new railway built by our Chinese friends. Many changes have taken place in the town over the last few years, and the people who live here have become rich.” A businessman said, “My experience of using the train since 2017 has been good. It is very convenient and doesn’t cost much money. I am able to get to places on time and make business deals with ease.” The railway has also made the transport of food easier. “Food used to take hundreds of lorries to carry between the two cities, but now it takes only two or three trains,” said a supermarket manager. As a result, people now have more fresh food to eat. 肯尼亚当地民众从新铁路中收获良多。一位政府工作人员表示：“中国友人帮我们修建的这条新铁路让我十分欣慰。近几年小镇发生了诸多变化，当地百姓的日子富裕起来了。”一名商人说道：“2017年以来我一直搭乘这趟列车，体验很好。出行便捷，票价也不贵。我能准时抵达各地，谈生意顺畅多了。”铁路也极大便利了食品运输。一位超市经理介绍：“过去运送两座城市间的货物食品要动用数百辆卡车，如今只需要两三趟列车就足够了。”正因如此，当地人能吃到更多新鲜食材。 Although China and Kenya are far away from each other, the railway shows how different countries can work together to build a better world. 中肯两国相距遥远，但这条铁路印证了各国携手合作，共创美好世界的可行之路。 【Task 1】 Match the numbers with the information. about 4 10 480 1901 2017 over 2 million 1.___________:the year the new railway was opened 2.___________:the year the old railway line was built 3.___________:the number of people who use the new train every year 4.___________:the length of the Mombasa-Nairobi railway in kilometres 5.___________: the hours it used to take to reach Nairobi from Mombasa by train 6.___________: the hours it takes to reach Nairobi from Mombasa now by train 【答案】2017；1901；over 2 million；480；10; about 4 【Task 2】 Read the passage carefully, choose the best answer. 1. When was the Mombasa‑Nairobi new railway put into use?
