Getting train information and cheap train tickets has never been easier. Online train ticket booking makes it easy for travelers to look through China’s train timetable, compare train fares, and look for ticket availability. Once you’ve found a suitable train, you can book online and pick your tickets up at the train station or get them delivered to your home or hotel. Train tickets can be booked online a minimum of 35 minutes and a maximum of 60 days before departure.‎ How to choose train types When you’re buying China train tickets online, you’ll notice that the journey duration differs ‎ depending on which type of train you choose. China train types can be recognized by their letter codes G, D and C trains are high-speed trains, while Z, T and K are slower or overnight trains. China’s high-speed trains run between Chinese provincial capitals and first-tier Chinese cities. G trains (high-speed trains, standing for gāotiě) are China’s bullet trains—the fastest trains with a maximum speed of ‎400 km／h. Tickets for these trains are the most expensive.‎ How to buy train tickets Unless you can read Chinese, there are only two ways to make train reservations in China:‎ ‎—Online train ticket booking with a travel agency (up to 60 days before departure).‎ ‎—At the train station／local ticket agency with your passport (up to 58 days before departure).‎ How to read train tickets When reading your train ticket, please take note of the Chinese characters and Pinyin printed next to your departure / arrival city. Directions (North, South, East, and West) appear in Pinyin (Bei, Nan, Dong, and Xi), not English. Please make sure you are going to the correct train station.‎ ‎21．What can we learn from the first paragraph?‎ A.It’s difficult to get train information in China.‎ B.Traveling by train in China is not very expensive.‎ C.You can get on the train without tickets after booking online.‎ D.Train tickets online are available at any time within 60 days before you leave.‎ ‎22. If Mr. Smith needs to travel from Jinan to Beijing for something emergent, he’d better take _________.‎ A. Z trains B. G trains C. D trains D. Overnight trains ‎23．Who are the intended readers of the passage?‎ A. Foreign travelers B. Native tourists. C. Businessmen. D. Travel agencies.‎ B If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. ‎ This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. ‎ Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.” The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists. 24. The main subject talked about in this passage is ____________.‎ A. science on learning a second language     B. man’s ability of learning a second language C. language learning and maths study       D. that second language can help brain power ‎25.The underlined word “bilingual” probably means ____________. A. a person who can speak two languages                   B. a second language learner C. a researcher on language learning             D. an active language learner ‎26.We may know from the scientific findings that ____________. A. the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is  B. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a ‎ second language C. the experience of learning a second language has bad effects on people’s ‎ brain D. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time C For the 17 years my life was very happy. Then the first sad thing happened. My mother became very ill, and soon she knew that she was dying. Just before she died, she asked Elizabeth and me to go to her room. She held our hands and said, “Victor and Elizabeth, my children, I’m very happy because you love each other, and because one day you’ll get married. Everyone in the family loves you, Elizabeth. Will you take my place in the family, my dear? I can die happy if you look after them when I have gone.”‎ My mother died and we were very sad, because we loved her dearly. Elizabeth was brave and helped us; her sweet smile gave us some happiness in the unhappy days after my mother’s death. The time came for me to go to university. I didn’t want to leave my sad family, but we all knew that I should go. It was hard to leave, too, because the parents of my good friend Henry would not let him go to university with me. So I had gone alone.‎ On my first day at university I met my teacher, Professor Waldman, who was one of the greatest scientists in the world. He gave a wonderful talk to all the students who were starting at the university. He ended his talk by saying, “Some of you will become the greatest scientists of tomorrow. You must study hard and discover everything that you can. This is why God made you intelligent—to help other people.”‎ After the professor’s talk, I thought very carefully. I remembered the storm when I was 15; I remembered how the lightning had destroyed the tree. From then on, I wanted to use electricity to help people, and I wanted to discover the secrets of life. I decided to work on these two things. ‎ I started to work the next day. I worked very hard and soon Professor Waldman and I realized that I could learn to be a very good scientist.‎ The professor helped me very much, and other important scientists who were his friends helped me, too. I was interested in my work and I did not take one day’s holiday during the next two years, I did not go home, and my letters to my family were very short.‎ After two years, I had discovered many things and I built a scientific machine that was the best in the university. My machine would help me answer the most important question of all. How does life begin? Is it possible to put life into dead things? To answer these questions about life I had to learn first about death. I had to watch bodies from the moment when they died and the warm life left ‎ them. In the hospital and in the university, I watched the dying and the dead. Day after day, month after month, I followed death, so it was a dark and terrible time.‎ I built a tall mast about 150 meters high, which is higher than the tallest building in the city, to catch lightning and send the electricity down to my machine in the lab. I believed I could use that electricity to give life to things that were dead.‎ Then one day, the answer came to me. Suddenly I was sure that I knew the secret of life.‎ ‎27.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A．Victor did not want to leave his family because his mother died not long before.‎ B．Elizabeth married shortly after Victor’s mother died.‎ C．Elizabeth was a brave girl who loved Victor and gave him much help.‎ D．Victor’s mother was very angry when she knew he loved Elizabeth.‎ ‎28.Victor did all the following during his research in the university EXCEPT that .‎ A．he discovered many things and built a scientific machine B．he learnt much about death both in the hospitals and in the university C．he built a tall mast to catch lightning and send the electricity down to the lab D．he worked hard and took only one day’s holiday during the next two years ‎29.According to the author, the secret of life is to .‎ A．use electricity to cure diseases B．build the best machine to learn about death C．become the greatest scientist of tomorrow D．give life to things that were dead by using electricity ‎30.Which is the correct order about the life of Victor?‎ ‎① Victor’s mother passed away. ‎ ‎② Victor got help from the professor and other scientists.‎ ‎③ Victor went to university and attended the professor’s talk.‎ ‎④ Victor found the answer to giving life to things that were dead.‎ ‎⑤ Victor experienced a storm, seeing the lightning destroying the tree.‎ A．①②③④⑤ B．⑤①③②④ C．①③②⑤④ D．⑤①②④③‎ 第二节 （共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分） ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项是多余选项。‎ A healthy lifestyle is one that is full of healthy choices and behavior.
