山东省2020年（春秋版）八年级上学期期中英语试题D卷姓名:_ 班级:_ 成绩:_一、补全短文5选4短文7选5(5选5等) Have you ever spent a night on a train? In the world of high speed railways and low-fare(价格低廉) airlines, traveling by night train sounds out of date. The main way of railway travel is long gone in most European countries and the United States. 1 . They are considered rather economical(节省的) ways of traveling from city to city as the fares are a lot lower than flights and traveling between cities takes many hours or even days.The first extensive(广泛的) use of sleeping cars started in the 1830s in the US. A name worth mentioning here is George Pullman, an American industrialist. In the 1860s, Pullman successfully ran his sleeping car business by offering all kinds of good services. The food provided on the comfortable Pullman trains was as delicious as that in the best restaurants of that time. 2 . Considering the time spent, business people may prefer to travel by plane, but modern sleeping cars provide an comfortable way of traveling. 3 . The other advantage is that sleeping cars take you directly to the big city stations, while most airports are usually located far away from the city centers. 4 . AThe Pullman trains quickly became popular as a result of his creation.BThe planes are often late and uncomfortable.CBut in China and India, night trains are quite common.DSo if you are not in a rush, overnight trains are a great way to get around.EOne advantage of overnight trains is that you are getting a nights rest while traveling.二、阅读单选Dear Li Fei,How are you?
