    Superfast double?decker (双层) trains will be taking passengers from London to six big cities in the UK by 2033. The first phase (阶段) linking London to the West Midlands with a connection to HS1 is expected to open in 2026, and the second phase to Manchester and Leeds in 2032.

    The government set out a plan for the high?speed rail network in 2012. When the project is finished, it will take less time to get to London from major cities like Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds. Traveling at a speed of up to 250 mph, passengers will be able to come and go from Birmingham to London in 49 minutes, reducing the journey time by almost half from one hour and 24 minutes.

    A journey from Birmingham to Leeds will be reduced from two hours to 57 minutes and a journey from Manchester to London will be reduced from two hours and 8 minutes to one hour and 8 minutes.

    “HS2 is an important part of transport's low?carbon future,” Transport Secretary Justine Greening said. Some people aren't happy about the plan, though. HS2 will cost around ￡33 billion. It will also be built near some towns and villages, disturbing the people that live there.

    But the Chancellor of the Exchequer (财政大臣) George Osborne thinks it will help build the future for Britain. “It's a long?term decision，” he said.

    HS2 is designed for everything around the needs of the passengers. It will provide a new and exciting travel experience. There will be plenty of room, intelligent ticketing, a good service and high quality comfort and access to trains. This is a transport network for the new century and beyond.

    1.What's the UK's plan according to the passage?

    A. To buy some double?decker trains.

    B. To take passengers to Manchester from London.

    C. To build a high?speed train network.

    D. To collect ￡33 billion for the high?speed train network.

    2.How long does it usually take you to travel from Birmingham to London by the ordinary train?

    A. 49 minutes.B. One hour and 24 minutes.

    C. 57 minutes.D. Two hours and eight minutes.

    3.What can NOT be inferred from what Justine Greening and George Osborne said?

    A. HS2 is more important than HS1.

    B. Not all British people are happy about the plan.

    C. The British will benefit from the project in the future.

    D. The ￡33 billion will not be enough for the plan.

    4.The passage is most probably taken from ________.

    Honesty is important to keep a relationship alive. A true friend always tells you the truth. It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories.
