15.For years and years people have been saying that the rail ways are dead."We can do without railways",people say as if motorcars and planes have made the railways unnecessary.We all keep hearing that trains are slow,that they lose money,and that they're dying.But this is far from the truth.In these days of expensive oil,the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars 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,it takes you from the heart of a city into the heart of another.It doesn't leave you as a plane does,miles and miles from the city center.It doesn't hold you up as a car does,in endless traffic jams.And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do.Far from being dead,the railways are very much alive.Modern railway lines give you a smooth,untroubled journey.Where else can you eat well,sleep in comfort,feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time?And we are only at the beginning,for we have just entered the age of superfast trains(超速列车).Trains are traveling at 150miles an hour and more.Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorways we can't use because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we can't fly in for the same reason.

分析 作者列举了一些现代火车的长处和飞机及汽车的一些短处,只是说明在油价昂贵的今天,火车跟飞机相比还是具有高度竞争力的.
解答 DBDCD
51 D 由语篇开头部分可得知选项A并非作者的想法,而是某些人的想法,第1段第7句中作者提到火车与飞机之间有许多共同点,但并未涉及汽车,再说这也不是本文主要论点,故选项B不够确切,应排除.作者列举了一些现代火车的长处和飞机及汽车的一些短处,只是说明在油价昂贵的今天,火车跟飞机相比还是具有高度竞争力的,并非指飞机与汽车不如火车好,因此选项C显得片面,更不是作者的观点.唯选项D才是正确答案.
52 B 细节题:从语篇第一段第2、3句中as if motorcars and planes have made the railways unnecessary.We all keep hearing that trains are slow,that they lose money,and that they're dying.即可判断ACD是正确的,选项B为正确答案.
53 D 细节题:文章第二段提到:Modern railway lines give you a smooth,untroubled journey.和because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we can't fly for the same reason.以及for we have just entered the age of super-fast trains,说明ABC都对,所以选D
54 C 细节题:选项C符合试题要求,因为它跟第1段第9、10句It doesn't leave you up as a plane does,miles and miles from the city center.相悖.至于其他选项均可在语篇中找到依据,选C.
55 D 主旨题:从第二段的句子:Far from being dead,the railways are very much alive.和And we are only at the beginning,可知作者认为火车没有结束才刚刚开始.选 D
