Question

【题目】 Do you know about aerotrain（气动悬浮列车）? A high-speed aerotrain can run 400 to 500 km per hour. What a surprising speed it is! And it is being developed by China and Japan together. It’s said that the model of this high-speed aerotrain is more than one metre long. The bullet-nosed（子弹头）car is like a high-speed train, and its body has wings, which are similar to the plan.

The aerotrain doesn’t run on traditional fuel resources（燃料资源）such as coal, gas or electricity. The train will be fully powered by natural energy. It will not only reduce costs but also improve the speed. The high-speed aerotrain is expected to change the world’s transportation situation, according to experts. People are looking forward to the type of high-speed aerotrain.

Lai Chenguang is a very famous expert. He comes from Chongqing University of Technology. He is good at this kind of technology in China. At the same time, he also takes part in the projects. He introduced that the first and second generation（一代）high-speed aerotrains have been tested. He believed that they could pass a series of strict tests smoothly.

“If the train runs at a speed of 500 km/h, it will use very little energy. The energy it consumes is only 1/3 of that of normal high-speed trains. It means that it will save more energy than normal high-speed trains,” Lai said. In addition, the passengers that the train carries will also be increased because of the new design.

【1】The aerotrain is developed in ____________.

A.Japan and AmericaB.France and America

C.China and EnglandD.China and Japan

C.It will provide more excellent service.

D.It will do less pollution to the environment.

【4】What does the underlined word “consumes” probably mean in Paragraph 4 in Chinese?

A.提供B.使用C.生产D.改变

【5】Which would be the best title for the text?

A.Natural Energy.B.The Load Capacity of the Train.

C.A New Type of Train.D.A Project about Transportation.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】A

【3】D

【4】B

【5】C

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了气动悬浮列车的模型，使用燃料，人们的期望及节能等方面的信息。

【1】细节理解题。根据第一段第四句“And it is being developed by China and Japan together. ”可知，气动悬浮列车是由中国和日本联合开发的。故选D。

【2】细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“The train will be fully powered by natural energy. ”可知，这种列车以天然能源为动力。故选A。

【3】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The aerotrain doesn’t run on traditional fuel resources（燃料资源）such as coal, gas or electricity. ”可知，这种列车不使用像煤炭、石油或者电力能源，所以产生的污染更少，对环境是有好处的。故选D。

【4】词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句“If the train runs at a speed of 500 km/h, it will use very little energy.”可知，如果这种列车以500公里时速运行，消耗的能量非常少，所以此处划线部分单词的意思是“使用或者消耗”。故选B。

【5】选择最佳标题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了气动悬浮列车这一新型列车模型，结合选项可知C项A New Type of Train.最能概括文章大意。故选C。
