　　Chinese trains are divided according to their speed into various classes，identified with different letters and numbers.Passenger trains are numbered by a capital Chinese phonetic letter followed by numerals.The letters refer to different classes of trains：

　　G—High-Speed Electric Multiple Units(EMU)Train，Gaotie(高鐵)in Chinese

　　This is the fastest EMU train running for long distance in China，the top speed of which could reach 300km/h.Currently，the G-train could finish the 1,068-kilometer Wuhan-Guangzhou High-Speed Railway in 4 hours，the 301-kilometer Shanghai-Nanjing High-Speed Railway in between 67 minutes and 2 hours and the 458-kilometer Zhengzhou-Xi'an High-Speed Railway in about 2 hours.

　　C—Intercity EMU Train Chengji Lie Che(城際列車)in Chinese

　　This is also the fastest EMU train in China，but runs for short travel distance between two nearby cities，such as the 120-kilometer Beijing-Tianjin Intercity Railway.

　　D—Electric Multiple Units(EMU)Train，Dongche(動車)in Chinese

　　These trains are also called Hexiehao(和諧號，Harmony)or bullet trains in China.The designed top speed is 200km/h.These trains have been widely used for serving fast and frequent transport between main cities，such as Beijing-Shanghai，Shanghai-Suzhou and Shenzhen-Guangzhou.

　　Z—Direct Express Train，Zhida(直達(dá))in Chinese

　　The top speed of Z-trains is 160km/h，which

　　is the most efficient transport for long-distance travel except for the EMU trains.Generally，Z-trains have none-stop on the way，but some of them have several stops.On the other hand，some Z-trains are equipped with only soft-sleeper and soft-seat.

　　T—Express Train，Tekuai(特快) in Chinese

　　The T-trains have limited stops on the routes，mainly in major cities.The highest speed is 140km/h.Almost every T-series of trains is equipped with soft-sleeper，soft-seat，hard-sleeper and hard-seat.

　　K—Fast Train，Kuaiche(快車)in Chinese

　　The top speed of K-trains is 120km/h，having more stops than the T-trains.The K-series of trains are equipped with air-condition and the four classes of train berths(鋪位)．

　　Accommodation Fast Train—Pukuai(普快)in Chinese

　　These trains' numbers are identified with four digits.Its highest speed is 120km/h but runs slower than the K-train as a result of more stops on the way.Currently，a few of Accommodation Fast Trains are not equipped with air-condition.

　　Accommodation Train—Puke(普客)in Chinese

　　With 100km/h's highest speed，this should be the slowest train，having as many stops as possible.The trains are also numbered with four digits.Most of the trains don't have air-condition at all.

　　Commuter Train—Tongqinche(通勤車)in Chinese

　　These trains are specially taken by railway staffs，so they are not opened to public passengers.

　　L—Temporary Train，Linke(臨客)in Chinese

　　This series of L-trains are in operation only during the peak travel time，such as Chinese Spring Festival and National Holiday.These trains will not be listed in the official fixed train schedule.It is not advised to take L-trains if you have other options as they are routinely subject to delays.

　　Y—Tourist Train

　　Y-trains are for the convenience of tourists and their destinations are the popular sights.For example，there are EMU Y-trains departing from Beijing North Railway Station to suburban Yanqing County，which is a transfer station to Badaling Great Wall.

　　11．How many kinds of trains are there whose speed reaches 200 km/h and above?

　　A．Four.

　　B．Six.

　　C．Five.

　　D．Three.

　　12．Which of the following trains is the fastest in China?

　　答案與解析

　　1.B　[考查動詞的用法。can/could(not)help it“ (不)能防止或避免某事物” 。此處相當(dāng)于can/could(not)prevent or avoid sth，又如：Can I help it if people don't read the instructions？人們不看使用說明，我又有什么辦法？]

　　D　[remain 是連系動詞，相當(dāng)于be動詞，該句的主語much與discuss存在著被動關(guān)系，且由后面的“at the following meeting”知道該動作是將要發(fā)生的，故選D。]

　　B　[考查動詞時態(tài)。上句的語境是關(guān)鍵：“at about ten last night”，即昨晚十點時說話人正在辦公室為老板準(zhǔn)備一份報告材料，所以用過去進(jìn)行時。]

　　C　[考查動詞短語的辨析。break down 意為“(健康，精神)跨下來”；break up 意為“分散；拆散”；break away意為“脫離、擺脫”；break in 意為“中斷、破門而入”。]

　　5．This kind of shoes made by experienced shoe-makers________comfortably.

　　A．is worn

　　B. wears

　　C．a(chǎn)re worn

　　D．wear

　　B　[考查動詞的特殊用法。made by experienced shoe-makers為定語修飾句子的主語kind of shoes，故謂語應(yīng)該用單數(shù)；wear 在此作不及物動詞，用主動形式表示被動的含義，通常用物作主語且與well，comfortably等副詞連用。]

　　D　[A項意為“ 越多越好” ；B項意為“ 說起來容易做起來難” ；D項表示“ 有總比沒有要強(qiáng)” ；由原句可知是把$100與nothing進(jìn)行比較，因此C項不對。故答案為D。]

　　A　[absolute proof指“ 確鑿的證據(jù)” ，符合句意。steady“ 穩(wěn)固的” ；actual“ 實際的” ；diverse“ 多種多樣的” 。]

　　B　[考查連詞的用法。while作為并列連詞，意思是“然而；但是”，表示對比關(guān)系。]

　　D　[考查情境對話。同意給予幫助的應(yīng)答語有No problem./Certainly./Sure./All right./OK./With pleasure./Good idea.等；不同意是應(yīng)該委婉拒絕，如：I'm sorry.。]

　　B　[考查名詞性從句的用法。what在主語從句中作主語，that在從句中不作成分。]

　　【解題導(dǎo)】 在中國，火車因為速度的不同被分為不同的種類。本文就詳細(xì)向大家介紹了中國的各種火車。

　　D　[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。通過比較各類火車的時速可知時速能夠達(dá)到200 km/h及以上的有三種列車，它們分別是高鐵、城際列車和動車。]

　　D　[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章第二段中的“This is the fastest EMU train running for long distance in China”，和第三段中的“This is also the fastest EMU train in China”，可知，中國最快的火車是高鐵和城際列車。]

　　D　[判斷正誤題。A項錯在并非所有列車都對公眾開放，如Commuter Train。B項錯在臨客(Temporary Train)不只是在春節(jié)運(yùn)行，其他節(jié)日也可能會運(yùn)行，如National Holiday。由文中介紹直達(dá)列車部分的“which is the most efficient transport for long-distance travel except for the EMU trains”可知C項說法也不對。由文章最后對旅游車的介紹可知D項說法正確。]

　　D　[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。比較所給選項列車的時速可知這四種列車中普客最慢，故答案為D。]

　　A　[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。通過查讀可知普客(Accommodation Train)絕大多數(shù)未裝空調(diào)。]

　　【解題導(dǎo)】 英特爾科學(xué)獎(Intel Science Talent Search)是美國頂級的高中生科學(xué)競賽獎項。2011年，40名入圍決賽者在華盛頓獲得表彰。他們見到了一些科學(xué)家和政治家，還收到了美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬歡迎他們?nèi)グ讓m的邀請。

　　C　[主旨大意題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容可知，文章主要介紹了2011年美國英特爾科學(xué)獎的一些信息，重點介紹了三個獲獎?wù)叩木唧w情況，故答案為C。]

　　A　[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的They had to present original research to be judged by professional scientists.可知答案為A。]

　　D　[細(xì)節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中For his mathematical project，he compared two ways to estimate the square root of an integer，a number with no fractional parts.(在他的數(shù)學(xué)研究項目中，他比較了兩種估算整數(shù)的平方根的方法。)可知Evan O'Dorney將來有可能從事數(shù)學(xué)研究，成為一個數(shù)學(xué)家。]

　　B　[正誤判斷題?？梢赃\(yùn)用排除法。根據(jù)第五段中he completed a project studying a fungus(真菌)linked to the decrease in amphibians(兩棲類動物)around the world可知A項錯誤；C項沒有具體的信息支持；根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中Scott Boisvert lives near Phoenix，Arizona.可知D項錯誤；根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可知B項正確。]
