Hi~大家好!
我是陪你一起升本的知本~
①An early attempt to find a technological break through for high speed rail travelling China was the Shanghai Maglev, which opened to the public in 2004. ②As the first commercial magnetic levitation (磁悬浮) train in the world, it connects(连接)Shanghai's Pudong International Airport with the Shanghai subway system, traveling a distance of 30 kilometers in 8 minutes, at speeds as highas 430 kilometers per hour. ③It is the fastest commercially(商业地) operated train anywhere in the world.
①Chinanowhastwomoremaglevs,oneinChangshaandtheotherinBeijing.②However, both of thse only cover short distances(距离) and the trains travel at speeds of around 100 kilometers per hour, which is not much faster than trains on many conventional(传统的) rail lines.
①Apart from(除了) the complex technical and safety issues involved with maglev trains, another big drawback(缺点) with having a maglev line appears to be(似乎是) the high cost. ②Thus although maglev technology will continue to be used in the future - a train that is capable of reaching speeds of 600 kilometers per hour is being developed - the focus has been on ore conventional, off-the-shelf technology in the development of China's high speed rail network.
41.The first commercial magnetic-levitation train in the world is in______.
世界上第一辆商用磁悬浮列车在______。
A.Changsha
B.Beijing
C.Shanghai
D.Wuhan
根据题干定位到第②句,as意为“作为”,后半句的it指的仍是the first commercial magnetic levitation train in the world,根据句意可知它在上海。
connect A with B “连接A和B”
作为世界上第一列商用磁悬浮列车,它连接了上海浦东国际机场和上海地铁系统,在8分钟内行驶30公里,时速高达430公里。
42.Which of the following statements about Shanghai Maglev is true ?
下面关于上海磁悬浮的说法哪个是正确的?
A.It is the fastest train in the world.
B.It opened to the public in 2004.
C.It travels 600 kilometers per hour.
D.It is not very expensive to build.
A. 这是世界上最快的火车。
B. 2004年向公众开放。
C. 它每小时行驶600公里。
D. 建造它不是很贵。
题干问的是Shanghai Maglev,注意城市。
A项,根据fastest定位至第一段第③句,原文说的是the fastest commercially operated train ,train前面有修饰词,commercially operated意为“商业运营”,因此不能直接说它是the fastest train.
B项,根据in 2004定位至第一段第①句,直接说了Shanghai Maglev,which opened to the public in 2004,正确。
C项,根据600 kilometers per hour定位至第三段第②句,破折号起解释说明作用,破折号前有in the future(在未来),说明600 kilometers per hour是以后的设想。正确答案应该在第一段第②句,是430 kilometers per hour.
D项比较难找,没有相同的关键词,在第三段第①句,后半句说拥有maglev trains另一个大缺点是the high cost,即高昂成本。D项说not very expensive,错误。
①中国为高速铁路寻找技术突破的早期尝试是2004年向公众开放的上海磁悬浮列车。
③它是世界上最快的商业运营列车。
43.Trains on China's conventional rail lines most probably travel at speeds of about______kilometers per hour.
中国常规铁路列车的运行速度可能在每小时______公里左右。
A.30
B.100
C.430
D.600
这道题需要看清题干问的是什么的速度,以及单位。题干的单位是kilometers per hour,即“千米每小时”,per是“每”的意思。
这四个数字原文中均出现了,结合42题C选项可知,600讲的是未来的设想,430是Shanghai Maglev的速度,排除CD。30千米的单位是in 8 minutes(8分钟),不是每小时,排除A项。所以选B。
根据conventional rail lines定位至第二段最后一句,原文说100 kilometers per hour, which is not much faster than(不比……快多少) trains on many conventional rail lines,题目问的就是trains on China's conventionl rail lines大概的速度,所以可能也是100千米每小时。
中国现在又有两条磁悬浮,一条在长沙,另一条在北京。然而,这两种列车的行驶距离都很短,列车的行驶速度约为每小时100公里,并不比许多传统铁路线上的火车快多少。
44.Which of the following is NOT a drawback with building a maglev line?
下列哪一项不是建造磁悬浮线路的缺点?
A.Cost.
B.Safety.
C.Speed.
D.Technology.
A.成本。
B.安全。
C.速度。
D.技术。
本题可以和42题D项结合起来做。
根据drawback定位至第三段第①句,前半句有apart from(除了),后半句有another(另一个),说明这两个半句都讲的是drawback。
前半句有the complex technical,safety issues,后半句有thehighcost,没有提到C项speed。
除了磁悬浮列车涉及的复杂的技术和安全问题外,拥有磁悬浮线路的另一个大缺点似乎是成本高。
45.The focus of the development of China's high speed rail network has been on all of the following EXCEPT______.
中国高铁网络发展的重点一直在以下所有地方,除了______。
A. maglev technology
B. traditional technology
C. off-the-shelf technology
D. conventional technology
A.磁悬浮技术
B.传统的技术
C.现成的技术
D.传统的技术
认识traditional和conventional的同学可以直接排除BD两项,因为都是一个意思,意为“传统的”,都是重点词汇,须掌握。
这道题又和42题C项有关,可以见得比较难的文章就喜欢反复考查对某些句子的理解。
题干中的focus意为“重点,焦点”,focus on意为“专注于”。题干问的是the development of China's high speed rail network的重点,focus出现在最后一句话,第二个破折号之后,原文说的是ore conventional, off-the-shelf technology ,排除CD,又因BD同义,所以选A。
因此,尽管磁悬浮技术将在未来继续使用——一种时速可达600公里的列车正在开发中——但在中国高速铁路网的发展中,重点一直是传统的、现成的技术。
