If you want to travel from Xi’an to Chengdu by train, it will take about 16 hours. But starting this month, the new Xi’an-Chengdu high-speed railway will shorten this travel time to three hours.
The 643-kilometer line is China’s first high-speed railway to run through the Qinling Mountains, which form a natural boundary (分界线) between China’s north and south. With a speed of 250 km per hour, it’s also the first mountain-heavy train line to provide a 4G network. Along the way, the train passes through two areas for rare (稀有) wild animals - one for pandas and the other for crested ibises (朱鹮).
To reduce the railway’s influence on the animals, workers and experts have designed and built the railway to be environmentally friendly. There were 345 wild pandas living in the Qinling Mountains. China currently has 1,864 wild pandas in total, according to the Xinhua News Agency.
To avoid disturbing the pandas, the railway was designed to run through tunnels (隧道) within the area. Protective shields (防护屏) are placed near the entrance of each tunnel to stop animals from going in.
To protect the thousands of crested ibises that fly near one part of the railway, protective nets have been set up to make sure the birds will not fly into a train.
The nets are about 32 km long and 4 meters high. Experts tested different shapes and materials for building the nets before making their final choice.
21. From this month, it will take ________ to travel from Xi’an to Chengdu by the high speed train.
A. 16 hours B. 13 hours C. 3 hours D. 1 hour
22. Which of the following is TRUE about the new Xi’an-Chengdu railway?
A. It is China’s first high-speed railway.
B. It runs through the Qinling Mountains.
C. It is the best mountain-heavy train line.
D. The train passes through many areas for rare wild animals.
23. Why did people build the railway to be environmentally friendly?
A. To save money and energy. B. To avoid damaging the mountains.
C. To avoid harming wild animals. D. To help the train run through tunnels quietly.
24. What are experts using to stop birds from flying into the train?
A. Tunnels. B. Tracks. C. Protective shields. D. Protective nets.
25. What is the passage about?
A. Xi’an Chengdu high-speed railway. B. How to protect pandas and crested ibises.
C. Qinling Mountains. D. Protective shields and nets.

My teenager son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes. In this way he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as a head teacher, “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences (缺席).” Before he could say another word I choked up (硬咽). And said sadly, “I love my son. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The head teacher seriously said, “Thank you for your time.”
Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. He was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I took part in a parent-teacher meeting. I noticed that his teachers were surprised at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the head teacher last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but I heard you said, It really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”

A. Quiet and lonely. B. Relaxed and excited.

D. would have to Kang up.
29. Who telephoned Karl’s mother that day?
A. The head teacher. B. The school adviser.

30. From the passage we can learn that ________.
A. children in single-parent families always have mental problems.
B. mother’s love is important to teenager’s life.
C. parents should give their children everything that they need.
D. school education still works well without the support from parents.

All theme parks in Britain have cafes, restaurants, picnic areas and gift shops, so you’ll still have plenty to see and do when you and the kids have been on enough rides.

It era also make a difference whether you go during peak time or not. For example, rickets always cost more during school holidays and weekends than they do during the weekdays.
Theme parks always get very busy during the summer months, so if you don’t like crowds it’s usually a good idea to go earlier or later in the year!
If you’re thinking of visiting a UK theme park, it’s worth having a look for special offers on tickets. Products such as chocolate bars and cereals sometimes have “buy one get one free” offers on theme park tickets, so keep a took out in shops and supermarkets.

Dear Mr.Smith,
I’m writing to tell you something about the traffic in your city. During my visit to your city, I experienced some traffic problems there. First, some of the roads are too narrow, making it difficult for drivers to go through. I think the government should widen these roads so that traffic jams can be cut down. Second, some traffic signs have been destroyed, which may cause terrible accidents. These signs should be repaired in time to ensure the safety of the drivers. Third, disordered parking is serious in some areas. As far as Tm concerned, strict measures should be taken to make people obey traffic rules. I hope you can take my suggestions into consideration.
I’m looking forward to visiting your city again someday.
Yours,
Li Hua
