In just a few decades, China has built the longest and fastest high-speed railway network in the world. These trains can travel at over 350 kilometers an hour, connecting cities that used to be hours apart. For millions of people, taking a high-speed train has become a part of daily life. The Jingzhang High-Speed Railway is a good example of China's railway development. It connects Beijing and Zhangjiakou, the same route as the old Jingzhang Railway built by Zhan Tianyou in 1909. While the old railway could only reach 35 kilometers an hour, the new one can travel at 350 kilometers an hour. This shows how far Chinese railway technology has come in over a century. High-speed railways bring many benefits to society. First, they save time for passengers. A trip that used to take ten hours by normal train now takes only three hours. Second, they are comfortable and safe. Passengers can work, rest or enjoy meals on the train. Third, they help the economy grow by connecting big cities with small towns along the way. However, building high-speed railways is not easy. Engineers must overcome many challenges, such as crossing rivers, going through mountains and dealing with different weather conditions. Chinese engineers have solved these problems by using advanced technology and careful planning. Their hard work has made China a leader in railway technology. The success of high-speed railways tells us that innovation and hard work can change a country. Just like the ancient inventions of paper-making and the compass, modern high-speed railways are not only useful tools but also symbols of a nation's creativity and determination. 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to build a railway station. B. The history of paper-making. C. China's high-speed railways and their significance. D. The compass and its uses. 32. How fast can the Jingzhang High-Speed Railway travel? A. 35 kilometers an hour. B. 350 kilometers an hour. C. 100 kilometers an hour. D. 200 kilometers an hour. 33. How many benefits of high-speed railways are mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. One. B. Three. C. Two. D. Four. 34. What does the underlined word "challenges" mean? A. 挑战 B. 机会 C. 方法 D. 成就 35. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To teach people how to drive a train. B. To ask people to travel by train. C. To show the importance of China's high-speed railways. D. To compare different types of trains. 【答案】31. C 32. B 33. B 34. A 35. C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍中国高铁的发展成就，以京张高铁为例对比新旧铁路，说明高铁对社会的好处、建设中的挑战以及创新精神的意义，重点考查信息整合、词义猜测、主旨概括和写作目的理解能力。 【详解】 31.主旨大意题。文章围绕中国高铁的发展、意义、好处和挑战展开，C项最能概括文章主旨，故选C。 32.细节理解题。根据第二段"the new one can travel at 350 kilometers an hour"可知，京张高铁时速达350公里，故选B。 33.细节理解题。根据第三段"First...Second...Third..."可知，文章提到了三个好处，故选B。 34.词义猜测题。后文举例说明工程师需要跨越河流、穿山越岭、应对不同天气，这些都是"挑战"，challenges意为"挑战"，故选A。 35.主旨大意题。文章通过介绍中国高铁的成就和意义，说明创新和努力能改变国家，C项"展示中国高铁的重要性"最符合写作目的，故选C。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分。） 阅读下列短文，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项，并填入空白处。 A Lesson from a Great Inventor Last week, our English teacher told us a story about Thomas Edison in class. ____36____.

He was not good at studying, and he often felt that he could not do anything well. His father was a worker in a small factory, and his mother sold fruit at a morning market. Life was not easy for the family. One day, Zhang Ming's teacher showed the class a film about Zhan Tianyou.

In just a few decades, China has built the longest and fastest high-speed railway network in the world. These trains can travel at over 350 kilometers an hour, connecting cities that used to be hours apart. For millions of people, taking a high-speed train has become a part of daily life. The Jingzhang High-Speed Railway is a good example of China's railway development. It connects Beijing and Zhangjiakou, the same route as the old Jingzhang Railway built by Zhan Tianyou in 1909. While the old railway could only reach 35 kilometers an hour, the new one can travel at 350 kilometers an hour. This shows how far Chinese railway technology has come in over a century. High-speed railways bring many benefits to society. First, they save time for passengers. A trip that used to take ten hours by normal train now takes only three hours. Second, they are comfortable and safe. Passengers can work, rest or enjoy meals on the train. Third, they help the economy grow by connecting big cities with small towns along the way. However, building high-speed railways is not easy. Engineers must overcome many challenges, such as crossing rivers, going through mountains and dealing with different weather conditions. Chinese engineers have solved these problems by using advanced technology and careful planning. Their hard work has made China a leader in railway technology. The success of high-speed railways tells us that innovation and hard work can change a country. Just like the ancient inventions of paper-making and the compass, modern high-speed railways are not only useful tools but also symbols of a nation's creativity and determination. 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to build a railway station. B. The history of paper-making. C. China's high-speed railways and their significance. D. The compass and its uses. 32. How fast can the Jingzhang High-Speed Railway travel? A. 35 kilometers an hour. B. 350 kilometers an hour. C. 100 kilometers an hour. D. 200 kilometers an hour. 33. How many benefits of high-speed railways are mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. One. B. Three. C. Two. D. Four. 34. What does the underlined word "challenges" mean? A. 挑战 B. 机会 C. 方法 D. 成就 35. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To teach people how to drive a train. B. To ask people to travel by train. C. To show the importance of China's high-speed railways. D. To compare different types of trains. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分。） 阅读下列短文，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项，并填入空白处。 A Lesson from a Great Inventor Last week, our English teacher told us a story about Thomas Edison in class. ____36____.
