Currently, the world’s longest high-speed rail line is almost 2300 kilometers long, running from Beijing to Guangzhou.The proposed rail is part of China’s aim to create another “Silk Road of the 21st century” and improve the country’s transportation network while driving land development and urbanization in some provincial areas.Many of the provinces through which the high-speed trains will travel are near major bodies of water, such as the Yellow River in Inner Mongolia and Shaanxi, the Yangtze River in Hubei and the south China sea, where the line would end. These high-speed trains will also take passengers to popular tourist destinations including Zhangjiajie, Xi’an, Guilin and minority areas in western Hunan and Hubei.“The country is now shifting its focus and investing in the western regions and economically unenlightened areas, making up for China’s long debt to these areas,” Tan Yuzhi, professor of the School of Economics and Management at Hubei University for Nationalities, told local media. “ The project will significantly narrow regional disparities(差异) and solve minority issues.”However, Deng Hongbing, director of China University of Geosciences’ Center for Regional Economic and Investment Center, said that if the north-to-south railway is to be constructed, there needs to be a sound ecological program in place to ensure the protection of these undeveloped and ecologically sensitive areas.24. What is the passage mainly talking about?A. Another high-speed rail line is being plannedB. China has decided to invest in the western areasC. The train will speed up to 350 kilometers per hourD. China has built the best high-speed rail line25. Once the high-speed rail line is built, _____________.A. it will be the second longest high-speed rail line in ChinaB. it will benefit the areas that it runs through a lotC. it will only transport goodsD. it will do good to the environment alongside the line26. What does the underlined part mean in the seventh paragraph?A. Developed areasB. productive areasC. undeveloped areasD. Agricultural areas27. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that________.A. you cannot have your cake and eat itB. where there is a will, there is a wayC. all things are easy that are done willinglyD. it is as well to know which way the wind blowsCMost parents claim they want to teach their children the importance of honesty. But the truth is, most parents are lying liars.A 2009 study found that parental lying is common. Some University of California, San Diego psychologists wondered whether such lies actually influence children. Are kids who get lied to more likely to lie themselves? The answer, the researchers reported March 17 in Developmental Science, is a big yes.Leslie Carver and Chelsea Hays invited 186 kids between the ages of 3 and 7 into their lab. Upon arrival, some of the kids were told a bald-faced lie: “There is a huge bowl of candy in the next room. Want to go get some?” When the kids got to the candyless room, the researcher admitted that it was a ruse to get the kid into the room. When the other group of kids arrived, they were told simply that a fun game awaited them in the next room.Next came the honesty test. With their back to the researcher, the kids had to guess which toy went with a particular sound. Just after that, the researcher left the room to take a phone call, leaving the children in perfect positions to cheat and sneak a look at the mysterious toy.Most kids peeked at the toy, but those who had heard the candy bowl lie were a little more likely to cheat, a camera revealed. Later, the researcher returned and asked kids whether they had peeked. Of the kids who peeked, those between the ages of 5 and 7 who had been cheated with the candy bowl lie were more likely to lie themselves and say they didn’t peek than the kids who didn’t get lied to, the researchers found.But it’s not clear why lying to a child makes that kid more likely to lie, Carver says. A simple explanation is that the children imitate how they were treated themselves. Another possibility is that the children lose trust in the person as soon as they realize they’ve been lied to. “The child says, ‘This person is a liar so I can lie too,’” Carver says.28. The purpose of Carver’s experiment is to find out ________.A.how important it is to teach children to be honestB.why parents lie to their childrenC.what makes children tell liesD.whether parents’ lies influence children29. The underlined word “peeked” in Paragraph 5 can be best explained as ________A. looked carelesslyB. looked secretlyC. checked quicklyD. hid secretly30. What does Carver’s experiment show?A.Lying to children makes them more likely to lieB.Yong children are more likely to lieC.Children can’t resist the temptation from candyD.Children are more likely to be cheated31. What do children probably think if you lie to them, according to Carver?A. It is OK to tell liesB. Lying is a bad thingC. Those who lie should be punishedD. Adults are dishonestDGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家),encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.32.The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because .A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.B. they believed disease could be spread in public baths.C. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in.D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease.32.Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?A. Uninterested.B. Curious.C. Approving.D. Afraid.34.How does the passage mainly develop?A. By providing examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By following the order of time.D. By following the order of importance.35.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To call attention to the danger of dirt.B. To introduce the historyof dirt.C. To present the change of views on dirt.D. To stress the role ofdirt.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
