杭州市2019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 In the world of high speed railways and low-fare(价格低廉) airlines, traveling by night train sounds out of date.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Willow Shields is an American film and television actressShe was born on June 1st，2000 in Albuquerque，New MexicoShe has a twin sister and an elder brotherWillow is a very beautiful girlShe has golden hair，big eyes and sweet smilesWillow got her first job in 2008 and she acted in a 7-minute short film with her sisterIn it，she plays the role of a little girl watching a gun fightHer most famous role is Prim in the movie Hunger GamesShe worked hard for the movie and she read the book carefully before actingWillow did so well that the director said，“Its so exciting to find an amazing young actress like herWere very lucky to have her”Shields will continue in her role until November，2015，when the final of four movies The Hunger Games series come outBecause Willow is always busy，she doesnt go to schoolShe studies at homeShe makes use of every chance to learnShe especially loves readingBesides，she is warm-heartedIn her free time，she often goes to send out food to homeless families5 .
