Question

【题目】 What is China’s High-Speed Rail (HSR)? Generally speaking, a rail network that offers 200–350 kph trains is an HSR network. Now, China has the largest high-speed rail network in the world. There are “4 vertical lines and 4 horizontal(水平的) lines” for the main China HSR network. This means there are four north–south high-speed rail lines and four east–west high-speed rail lines. They are the basis for the China high-speed rail network.

The four north–south HSR lines

Beijing–Shanghai Route

* Length: 1,318 km

* Design speed: 350 kph

It connects two popular cities and reduces the journey time from 12 hours to 5 hours (2 hours by air).

Beijing–Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong Route

* Length: 2,240 km

* Design speed: 350 kph

It is the longest passenger-transport dedicated high-speed rail line in the world. It connects North China, Central China, and South China.

Beijing–Harbin Route

* Length: 1,300 km

* Design speed: 350 kph

It connects Northeast China with the national capital, Beijing. It cuts the journey time from 12 hours to 6 hours between Beijing and Harbin.

Hangzhou–Shenzhen Route

* Length: 1,600 km

* Design speed: 250–350 kph

It connects the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta. The Hangzhou–Ningbo section is passenger-transport dedicated. The rest trip is mixed for passenger and cargo (货物) transport.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】B

【3】C

【解析】

这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了中国高铁干线中的四条南北高铁线路的情况，包括线路长度、时速等情况。

【1】

推理判断题。根据Hangzhou–Shenzhen Route部分中The Hangzhou–Ningbo section is passenger-transport dedicated.可知杭州到宁波段为客运专线。由此可推知，杭州深圳线路会停靠宁波。故选B。

【2】

推理判断题。根据第一段中There are “4 vertical lines and 4 horizontal(水平的) lines” for the main China HSR network. This means there are four north–south high-speed rail lines and four east–west high-speed rail lines. They are the basis for the China high-speed rail network.可知中国高铁主干线有“四纵四横”。这意味着有四条南北高铁线路和四条东西高铁线路。它们是中国高铁网络的基础。由此可推知，“四条南北向高铁线路”之后将讨论四条水平（西东）高铁线路。故选B。

【3】

推理判断题。根据Experience Bullet Train in Your China Trip部分中If you are interested in experiencing a bullet train in your China trip, please see our popular tours below for inspiration.可知如果你有兴趣在中国之旅中体验子弹头列车，请参阅下面的热门旅程以获得灵感。结合文章主要介绍了中国高铁干线中的四条南北高铁线路的情况，包括线路长度、时速等情况。由此可推知，文章最有可能选自一本中国旅游指南。故选C。
