Superfast doubledecker (双层) trains will be taking passengers from London to six big cities in the UK by 2033. The first phase (阶段) linking London to the West Midlands with a connection to HS1 is expected to open in 2026, and the second phase to Manchester and Leeds in 2032.
The government set out a plan for the highspeed rail network in 2012. When the project is finished, it will take less time to get to London from major cities like Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds. Traveling at a speed of up to 250 mph, passengers will be able to come and go from Birmingham to London in 49 minutes, reducing the journey time by almost half from one hour and 24 minutes.
A journey from Birmingham to Leeds will be reduced from two hours to 57 minutes and a journey from Manchester to London will be reduced from two hours and 8 minutes to one hour and 8 minutes.
“HS2 is an important part of transport's lowcarbon future,” Transport Secretary Justine Greening said. Some people aren't happy about the plan, though. HS2 will cost around ￡33 billion. It will also be built near some towns and villages, disturbing the people that live there.
But the Chancellor of the Exchequer (财政大臣) George Osborne thinks it will help build the future for Britain. “It's a longterm decision，” he said.
HS2 is designed for everything around the needs of the passengers. It will provide a new and exciting travel experience. There will be plenty of room, intelligent ticketing, a good service and high quality comfort and access to trains. This is a transport network for the new century and beyond.
（1）What's the UK's plan according to the passage?
A.To buy some doubledecker trains.
B.To take passengers to Manchester from London.
C.To build a highspeed train network.
D.To collect ￡33 billion for the highspeed train network.
（2）How long does it usually take you to travel from Birmingham to London by the ordinary train?
A.49 minutes.
B.One hour and 24 minutes.
C.57 minutes.
D.Two hours and eight minutes.
（3）What can NOT be inferred from what Justine Greening and George Osborne said?
A.HS2 is more important than HS1.
B.Not all British people are happy about the plan.
C.The British will benefit from the project in the future.
D.The ￡33 billion will not be enough for the plan.
（4）The passage is most probably taken from ________.
A.a novel
B.a geography book
C.a personal diary
D.a newspaper

【答案】
（1）C
（2）B
（3）A
（4）D
【解析】文章主要向读者介绍了英国政府建造高铁的计划。

⑴ 细节理解。根据第一段的描述和第二段的第一句可知，英国政府计划修建高铁。故C项正确。A、B两项是这项计划的一部分；D项叙述错误。所以答案是C。

⑵细节理解。根据第二段最后一句Traveling at a speed of up to 250 mph, passengers will be able to come and go from Birmingham to London in 49 minutes, reducing the journey time by almost half from one hour and 24 minutes.可知，原来坐火车从伯明翰到伦敦需要1小时24分钟，所以答案是B。

⑶细节理解。A项说第二阶段比第一阶段重要，这一说法在文中找不到支持的证据。根据第四段中Some people aren't happy about the plan可知“并非所有英国人都对这项计划感到高兴”，故B项可以推断出来；根据第五段中it will help build the future for Britain可推出，C项正确；根据第四段中HS2 will cost around ￡33 billion可知，这仅是该计划第二个阶段的费用，而该计划共有两个阶段，所以可得出￡33 billion对整个计划来说是不够的。所以答案是A。

⑷推理判断。文章主要向读者说明了英国政府建造高铁的计划，这是一则新闻，故这篇文章最有可能在报纸上看到。所以答案是D。

Family is another important factor in having a happy life because it provides the love, joy, and support that everyone needs. I love my family with all my heart. I get pleasure from their pleasure. I suffer when they suffer.They give me advice when I have misunderstandings with my friends. More importantly, they are always there to share everything with me.
As long as I stay healthy, work hard to earn enough money and share both good times and bad times with my family, I will always be the happiest girl in the world.
