Question

【题目】The Hangzhou-Changsha section of the Shanghai-Kunming(Hu-Kun) high speed rail(高铁) officially started operation on Dec 10, 2014. The Changsha-Huaihua(Chang-Huai) section of the Hu-Kun high speed rail was also opened to traffic a week later.

“It is no longer a dream" for Changsha residents to "leave for a trip without hesitation", said Changsha Evening, as it is really convenient either to go eastward or westward from Changsha.

During the trial operation of the Chang-Huai section on Dec 9, the G6521 train left Changsha South Railway Station at 8:40 am, arrived at Xiangtan North Station at 8:54 am, Loudi South Station at 9:22 am, and Huaihua South Station at 10:28 am.

Before the opening of the high speed rail. Changsha had 13 regular trains to Huaihua, the fastest of which, the Z149, leaves Changsha at about 6:00 am and arrives at Huaihua at nearly 12:00 am, being more than four hours slower than the high speed train.

The total length of the high speed rail in Hunan province is now more than 1,000 km, covering 10 out of the total 14 prefecture level(地区级的) cities or autonomous districts-much higher than the national average level.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】A

【3】B

【4】C

【解析】本文主要讲述沪昆线杭州——长沙段（Hu Kun）的高速铁路（高铁）及沪昆高速铁路的长沙——怀化段的运行情况。

【1】D推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，在上海——昆明线的一部分杭州——长沙段（Hu Kun）的高速铁路（高铁）于2014年12月10日正式运行。沪昆高速铁路的长沙——怀化段也在一周后通车，所以可推断出12月10日后的一周后即约在12月17日开通长沙——怀化的高铁，故选D项。

【2】A推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，在12月9日长怀截面的试运行期间，列车在长沙南站的G6521列车8:40左右离开，到达湘潭北站时是54分，到娄底南站是在9:22，到怀化南站上午10点28分。从地理位置看。从最东的长沙出发，往西南的湘潭，再往西经过娄底，最后在最西的怀化南站。所以是从东往西的。故选A。

【3】B细节判断题。第四段“the fastest of which, the Z149, leaves Changsha at about 6:00 am and arrives at Huaihua at nearly 12:00 am,…”6：00离开长沙，12：00到达怀化。共6个小时。故选B项。

【4】C推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述沪昆线的杭州——长沙段的高速铁路（高铁）及沪昆高速铁路的长沙——怀华段的运行情况。从中可知应该是新闻，所以可在报纸上找到。故选C。
