We all keep hearing that trains are slow, lose money and are dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, railways have become highly competitive with cars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they are cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, a railway takes you from the heart of a city center. It doesnt stop you as a car does on crowded roads. And no plane or car can ever carry as many goods as one train does.Far from being dead, railways are much alive. Modern railway lines give you a comfortable journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep comfortably, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at the same time? And we are only the beginning, for we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, which are traveling 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on highways and planes we cant fly in because we dont have enough money to buy the oil.（1）The writer thinks that railways are much alive because_.A . They are cheaper and more convenient.B . There arent any planes or cars.C . We can have a comfortable journey.D . We feel dangerous on highways.（2）According to the writer, which of the following is NOT true?A . It is cheaper to travel by train than by plane.B . The railway station is usually at the center of the city.C . When you get off a plane you will find yourself right in the city center.D . No car or plane can carry as many goods as train.（3）What does the underline word competitive prefer to?A . 参与性的B . 性价比高的C . 竞争性的D . 对比性的（4）The best title for this passage may be _.A . Which is the Best, Train, Car or Plane?B . Railway, not the End, but the BeginningC . Trains are More Competitive than Cars or PlanesD . Oh, Super-fast Trains16. （8分）阅读理解If youre ever apart from your children， a new study says just talking on the phone will help just as much as a hug (拥抱).If youre a parent who spends long hours on the job， you probably feel sorry for spending so much time away from your kids. But the results of a new study show that a mothers voice alone can be just as comforting to an anxious child as physical contact (接触).In an experiment， researchers from the University of Wisconsin Madison asked a group of girls between the ages of 7 and 12 to solve math problems in front of judges a stressful situation for anyone. Before the girls were set to give their answers， the researchers measured their levels of two hormones(荷尔蒙)：cortisol，which goes up during stressful periods， and oxytocin， the “love” hormone， which goes down at the same time.After the girls finished the problems， some of them got to meet up with their mothers right away. The moms came in and hugged the girls. Another group of the girls didnt see their mothers， but received phone calls from them， in which their mothers told them how well theyd done. The final group had no contact with their mothers， but instead watched an animal movie， March of the Penguins.Finally， the girls hormone levels were measured again. Although the movie was interesting， it did nothing to reduce the childrens anxietybut， surprisingly， both the physical contact and phone calls from their mothers had the same effect on reducing the girls stress levels.So， no matter how old you are， if youre feeling stressed about something in your life， a phone call to Mom might be just the key to help you feel better.（1）If a girl is under stress， _. A . she cant solve math problemsB . she will have high levels of hormoneC . oxytocin will remain at a high levelD . cortisol will go up with oxytocin down（2）Which of the following is the right order in which the study was carried out?a. The girls levels of hormones were measured again.b. The girls solved math problems.c. The girls levels of hormones were measured.d. The girls were divided into three groups.A . b-c-d-aB . d-b-c-aC . c-b-d-aD . d-c-b-a（3）From the passage， we can infer that _. A . it is easy for girls to solve math problemsB . the girls who had watched the movie remained anxiousC . mothers should hug their kids as often as possibleD . older girls have higher cortisol than younger ones（4）Whats the main idea of the passage? A . A mothers voice can comfort her anxious kids.B . Mothers should often hug their kids.C . Mothers should spend enough time caring about their kids.D . Scientists discovered why kids become stressed when having tests.17. （6分） In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited. About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的). No one had told them about the British custom (习惯)of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .Learning the language of a country isnt enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesnt agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty. In that country, you shake your head to mean yes a nod means no. At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up. If you think that you have had enough, you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.In Europe its quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble. Also, you should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an adult its just not done in Thailand .（1）The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen _.A . were foreignersB . didnt have ticketsC . made a loud noiseD . didnt line up for the bus（2）Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A . If you want to have a pleasant journey in a foreign country, you only need to learn the language of the country.B . In India it is considered polite to touch an adults head.C . To cross ones legs at an important meeting in Europe is a common habit.D . In Bulgaria, if you dont want to drink, you should cover the cup with your hand.（3）The best title for this article is _.A . Peoples Everyday LifeB . Mind Your MannersC . Habit is quite importantD . Language and customs18. （25分）阅读下面的短文，并根据文章后的要求答题。It is widely accepted that television is playing an important part in peoples lives.

In order to sort the rubbish properly and protect the environment, people in different countries are using different methods to sort their waste.UK A UK company invented a smart bin to help with waste sorting. People just need to drop their waste into the bin(垃圾箱). A camera and sensors(感应器) in the bin can tell what type of rubbish it is and correctly sort it.
