When you’re traveling to the railway station you look at your watch, afraid you will miss your train.But there is good news for people traveling between Beijing and Shanghai. Construction (建设) on the express railway (高速铁路) between the two cities started just before the Spring Festival of 2008. When it is finished by 2013, taking a train will be as easy as taking a bus.“There will be trains every several minutes. Buying a ticket, getting through the checkpoint (检查站) and taking your seat, will take just 10 minutes,” said an engineer.There may be high-speed trains running at 350 kilometers an hour. The travel time between the two cities will decease from 10 to about 5 hours. The trains will carry twice the present number of passengers.The new line will be 1,318 kilometers long and go across specially built bridges. It will run along side the present line. There will be 21 stations in Hebei, Tianjin, Shandong, Anhui and Jiangsu.“The cost of traveling by the express railway may be around 800 yuan. That will be more expensive than an ordinary train, but cheaper than by air.” Said Zhang Xiaoling, a Jiangsu government official.According to Zhang, the higher price is caused by the large cost of the railway project. At about 200 billion yuan, the project may be even more expensive than the Three Gorges Project (三峡工程).46.

It’s good for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions:Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.Make escape (逃脱) plans. They should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.Buy fire extinguishers (灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.Practice for a fire. They do fire practice because they teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:＊Don’t open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.＊Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire; the best air is near the floor because smoke rises.＊What will you do if you hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don’t run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. They roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket (毯子) around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.There are many possible causes for firs. A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire, don’t forget to call 119 for help.51. What does it mean when a smoke alarm rings at home?A. You have to get up.B. Water is running to the floor.C. Something is burning.D.

The next building only was a few feet away from mine. They was a woman lived there, and I had never met her, yet I could see she sat by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself. “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看见). Her window was clean!Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.56. The writer couldn’t see everything clearly through the window because __________.A. the woman’s window was dirtyB. the writer’s window was dirtyC. the woman lived nearbyD. the writer was near-sighted57.

It’s clear that ________.A. the writer had never met the woman beforeB. the writer often washed the windowC. they both worked as cleanersD. they lived in a small town60. From the passage, we can learn _______.A. one shouldn’t criticize others very oftenB. one should often make his windows cleanC. one must judge himself before he judges othersD. one must look at others through his dirty windows.V、交际运用（共10分，每小题1分）A. 在B栏中找出A句子的相应答语。

He was working on an important painting for a church at the time, but the church painting was not going well. An Italian businessman asked da Vinci to paint a picture of the businessman’s second wife. This is the woman who can be seen in the Mona Lisa.All in all, the Mona Lisa is a very good example of da Vinci’s work. Da Vinci uses darkness and light in a clever way in the painting.Da Vinci loved science and math. Right away a person can see that there is a lot of geometry (几何) in the Mona Lisa. The face of Mona Lisa is made of many circles and round shapes like balls. Even her smile can be seen as a small part of a large circle.The woman in the painting is sitting on a balcony, and mountains can be seen behind her. Da Vinci loved to study rocks and mountains, so these can be seen over and over again in his other paintings.The woman is sitting with her knees to the side. Her head is turned to look out of the painting. Her hands are held together in front of her.

Today I am going to tell you something about manners in different countries. I think you already know that people in different countries usually have different ways of doing things.①Something that is rude in one country may be quite in. ②For example, in Britain you mustn’t r aise your bowl to your mouth when you are having soup. That is considered bad manners in Britain. But in Japan you needn’t worry about making noise when you drink something. It shows that you are enjoying it. In Britain we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal. ③Guests are expected to keep their hands on the table during a meal in Mexico. In Arabic countries, we must be careful with our hands. You see, in Arabic countries you mustn’t eat with your left hand. This is considered to be ver y impolite. So, what should you do if you visit a foreign country? Well, you needn’t worry. You can ask the native people there to help you and you can just watch carefully and try to do what they do. 【1】将①处句子补充完整，每空一词。
