So, one day in 1860, several hundred workmen 7 in different districts. They 8 broke up the road, and then dug a 9 wide trench(壕沟) 10 the road had been. The trench was covered with a roof, which carried the new street on top. It 11 the tunnel for the trains. This is 12 the ‘cut-and-cover’ method of building an underground railway.
The new railway was very 13 and it carried 9,500,000 people in 1863, its first year. But, of course, there was no electricity then, and smoke from the steam trains filled the tunnels. It was very uncomfortable. Holes were cut in the tunnel roof so that the smoke could escape. This 14 the air in the tunnels better, but the 15 air frightened the horses in the streets above. When the first electric train arrived in 1890, the underground railway was 16 better.

George and Robert Stephenson invented the railway steam engine(蒸汽机车)，but this would never have been possible if James Watt had not first invented the steam engine itself．
1851 was the year of the Great Exhibition in England．This was a showcase for the best ideas across the world．The British Empire was expanding while English explorers(探险者)like David Livingstone discovered distant lands across the world．As the world became smaller, it was important to send messages as quickly as possible, New inventions ________．There were telegraph, Morse code(莫尔斯电码)，Penny Post(便士邮政)and then Alexander Graham Bell's telephone allowed people to communicate more effectively with each other．
At this time, the railways also made great differences to the lives of people across the world．Suddenly poor people were able to travel from where they lived; heavy goods were carried by rail to places very quickly．The engineers building the railways were slowed down by obstacles(障碍物)such as mountains, rivers and valleys．To complete the railways, people like Isambard Kingdom Brunel designed and built large bridges to carry the trains over these obstacles．Brunel was an inspired(有创作力的)inventor who went on to build great steamships as well as steam trains．
Perhaps one of the most important inventions of this era was the electric light bulb made possible by Thomas Edison in America and Joseph Swan in England．Both men created the same solution and completed their work within days of each other, but on opposite sides of the Atlantic．
1．What is the best title of the passage?(Please answer within 10 words．)
_______________________________
2．Which sentence can be replaced by the following one?
They found the same way and invented the bulb soon．
_______________________________
3．Please fill in the blank with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence．(Please answer within 10 words．)
_______________________________
4．What part do you think the First Industry Revolution play?(Please answer within 30 words．)
_______________________________
5．Translate the underlined sentence in the third paragraph into Chinese．

The world’s first completely automatic(自动的)railway has been built under the busy streets of London．1．________．The new Victoria Line was opened in 1969．This new line was very different from the others．
The stations on the other lines need a lot of workers to sell tickets, and to check and to collect them when people leave the trains．2．________．Here a machine checks and collects the tickets, and there are no workers on the platforms at all．On the train, there is only one worker．3．________．But usually he just starts it; it runs and stops by itself．The trains are controlled by electrical signals which are sent by the so-called command spots．The command spots are the same distance apart．Each sends a certain signal．The train always moves at the speed that the command spots allow．If the command spot sends no signals, the train will stop．4．________．The computers also fix the train speeds, and send the signals to the command spots．
5．________．Once train may stay too long at a station; the other trains will then automatically move slower．
A．If necessary, this man can drive the train．
B．The railway is called the Victoria Line, and it is part of the complete London underground railway．
C．The computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine and when to go electric．
D．This is all different on the Victoria Line．
E．Most of the control work is done by computers．
F．Other machines make sure that the trains are always a safe distance apart．
A Train Floating On Air
A train that floats on air? It's not magic―it's magnets (磁).And it's close to reality.
In Virginia USA the fall of 2002, a train with no wheels traveled on air and carried college students across their campus.In Japan, a whisper-quiet railway engine hovered and raced at 350 miles per hour using magnets and electricity as the power.And in China, a magnet train line linked Shanghai with nearby Pudong Airport.
These trains use magnetic levitation (悬浮) technology, “maglev” for short. They use the same rules as the magnets you pick up at home or school: opposite poles of magnets attract each other, and like poles repel each other.
How does it work?
Powerful magnets on the bottom of the train repel magnets on the track, which is actually just a magnet-filled guiding way. With a magnetic field of sufficient force, the train will go hovering on air, which seemed impossible to us in the past.
When an electrical current is sent through the track, the train moves. Turn the current backwards and the train slows down.
Maglev doesn't rely on the friction (摩擦力) of wheels on track, so it can climb a much steeper hill than a traditional train. And it can travel easily in snow and ice, something that could bring normal trains to a screaming stop.
【小题1】This passage is about __________.
| A．maglev | B．magnets | C．levitation | D．electricity |
| A． | B． | C． | D． |
| A．A magnet-filled guiding way is formed inside a maglev train. |
| B．Instead of electricity, magnets are used as the power of a maglev. |
| C．Maglev trains can climb hills with the help of magnetwheels. |
| D．Electric currents decide the movements of a maglev train. |
A．A maglev train can climb mountains without power while an ordinary o ne can’t. |
| B．A maglev train can travel in college campus while an ordinary train is not allowed. |
| C．Travelling without a track, a maglev train is safer and smoother than an ordinary one. |
| D．Floating on a track, a maglev train is faster, quieter than an ordinary railway train. |
