Passage A Breaking the Mountains — A New High-Speed Railway

On June 30, 2026, the Xi'an–Shiyan High-Speed Railway officially opened to traffic. The 257-kilometre line runs at a speed of 350 kilometres per hour. It cuts the travel time between Xi'an and Wuhan from 5 hours to about 2 hours and 41 minutes.

 

For thousands of years, the Qinling Mountains acted as a natural barrier separating northern and southern China. Trips between the two regions used to be slow and tiring. The new railway completely breaks this traffic barrier. It connects Xi'an, a historic northern city, with Shiyan in Hubei Province.

 

The line includes seven stations: Xi'an East, Lantian, Shangluo West, Shanyang, Mangchuan Pass, Yunxi and Shiyan East. It forms a key link in China's national high-speed rail network, connecting the Wuhan and Xi'an transport corridors.

 

Since its opening, local tourism has grown rapidly. In the first month after operation, the number of visitors to Shiyan rose by nearly 40% year-on-year. Local shops, hotels and catering businesses have all gained more income from tourists.

 

The Xi'an–Shiyan line is just one example of China's fast-developing transport network. In the first half of 2026 alone, China finished 355.2 kilometres of new high-speed railways. These new lines make trips faster, more convenient and comfortable for millions of people across the country.

 

11. When did the Xi'an–Shiyan High-Speed Railway open?

A. On June 30, 2025.  B. On June 30, 2026.  C. On July 30, 2026.  D. On January 1, 2026.

12. How long does it take to travel from Xi'an to Wuhan by the new railway?

A. About 5 hours.  B. About 4 hours.  C. About 2 hours and 41 minutes.  D. About 3 hours and 30 minutes.

13. What used to separate north and south China?

A. A popular tourist area.  B. The Qinling Mountains natural barrier.

C. A network of old railways.  D. A large city in Hubei.

14. How did tourism change in Shiyan after the railway opened?

A. Fewer visitors came.  B. Visitor numbers rose by nearly 40%.

C. The number of tourists stayed the same.  D. The city stopped receiving tourists.

15. What is the main idea of this passage?

Passage B A Green Revolution — How China's Energy Is Changing

For many years, coal supplied most electricity in China. But great changes have taken place in recent years. In the first half of 2026, coal power accounted for only 49.7% of China's total power generation for the first time in history.

 

The rest of the power mainly comes from renewable energy sources. Wind and solar power alone produced over 1.2 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity, making up around one quarter of the country's total power use. In the first six months of 2026, China added 117 million kilowatts of new renewable power capacity, which took up 73.9% of all newly built power equipment. Solar power led the growth with 72.07 million kilowatts of new installations, followed by wind power at 38.62 million kilowatts.

 

This energy shift did not happen by chance. It results from long-term government green policies, continuous technological breakthroughs and large investment in low-carbon infrastructure. The transformation brings two big benefits: it protects the environment and creates thousands of new green jobs and related industries.

 

A senior government official said the drop of coal power below 50% is a historic milestone for China's low-carbon development. With more investment in clean energy in the future, China's power mix will become much greener.

 

16. What percentage of China's power came from coal in H1 2026?

A. Over 50%.  B. 49.7%.  C. More than 40%.  D. 73.9%.

17. What share of China's electricity came from renewables in the first half of 2026?

A. Less than 30%.  B. About one quarter.  C. Over 40%.  D. Around 50%.

18. Which renewable energy had the largest new capacity growth?

A. Wind power.  B. Solar power.  C. Hydropower.  D. Biomass power.
