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. Which is NOT TRUE from the first paragraph? A. It’s easy to get train information in China now. B. You can get on the train without tickets after booking online. C. Travelling by train in China is not expensive. D. You must book train tickets online at least 35 minutes before you leave. 22. You can choose _________ if you need to travel from Wuhan to Shanghai for something urgent? A. D trains B. G trains C. Z trains D. K trains 23. What can we learn from the passage? A. The train tickets can’t be sent to your hotel. B. The tickets for the bullet trains are the most expensive in China. C. If you don’t know Chinese characters or pinyin, you can’t take trains in China. D. E-mail is also a way to make train reservations. B Big Ben, the Queen, a plate of ham and eggs – no, no, no. If you’re looking for a symbol of Britain only one thing passes the test – the umbrella. Now I know what you’re thinking – we have rain in China and we have umbrellas too. Certainly I will never forget the way it rained when I lived in Beijing: the streets became instant (立即的) rivers and the sky flashed with lightning for hours on end. People rushed for cover under bin bags, the shops were emptied of their plastic ponchos (斗篷) within seconds, and I found myself soaked (浸透) from head to foot, my poorly-chosen skirt and T-shirt now totally see-through. This would never have happened in Britain. For one thing during my year in Beijing it only really rained about 10 times. But although we never get a Beijing-style washout in London, the drizzle (毛 毛雨) that does fall is all but constant. Even when the sky is perfectly blue you can be sure it’s going to cloud over and start drizzling again within the hour. And when it does, there is chaos. Trains stop, drains (下水道) block, and buses break down as if this was the first time the local authorities had seen this wet stuff coming out of the clouds. So -- as with so many things in the UK --it’s up to ordinary people to sort themselves out. No self-respecting Briton will ever leave home without his “brolly” – as the umbrella is affectionately (亲切地) known. A brolly has hundreds of uses even on rare rain-free days. A real gentleman of London will use his umbrella as a walking stick. A traditional game of cricket (板 球) can be played using an umbrella as a bat (球棒). Nor do you ever have to be afraid of robbers – your umbrella doubles as a defensive weapon (武器). There is no brolly more British than my own. But it’s not from London or Manchester or anywhere in the UK. It was a gift from my Chinese teacher – in Beijing. How fitting that my No. 1 symbol of Britishness – like almost everything in Britain – was made in China. 24. The author mentioned her rainy weather experience in Beijing to show that ______. A. Many foreigners have embarrassing moments living in Beijing. B. The rain in Beijing is usually much heavier than the rain in London C. The British are more used to rainy weather than Chinese people. D. Both Beijingers and Londoners have unpleasant experiences with sudden rain. 25. A brolly can be used in many ways according to the text EXCEPT ________. A. playing a game. B. assistance for walking. C. making you a gentleman. D. a useful weapon. 26. The underlined word “chaos” in Paragraph 5 probably means ______. A. doubt B. disorder C. joy D. sorrow 27. Which of the following can best describe the tone of the article? A. Optimistic. B. Humorous. C. Objective. D. Annoyed C In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老)treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off. Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Grey hound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile ,”Oh that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of head-cutting! It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, but professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee that failed to get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver. Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter mainly told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as a traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces. Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh, that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的)person is sure to have. 28. What do we learn from “Dreams of head-cutting!” in Paragraph 3? A. The writer was mad at the sales agent. B. The writer was reminded of the cruel pharaoh. C. The writer dreamed of cutting the sales agent’s head that night. D. The writer wished that the sales agent would have bad dreams. 29. Which of the following is true? A. The author really appreciated the neighbor’s warning B. From the passage we know that it is the bad news that makes someone angry. C. If the runner brought to the pharaoh unhappy news, he would be treated like a prince. D. When we want to deliver any bad news, we should share the feeling of the receiver. 30. What is the main idea of the text? A. Receiving bad news requires great courage. B. Helping others sincerely is the key to business success. C. Delivering bad news with sympathy is important in communication. D. Learning ancient traditions can be useful 31. What did the writer think of his neighbor? A. Not helpful. B. Not considerate C. Friendly D. Warm-hearted. D Smartphone photography is not making us dumber. It is shifting the way our minds work, refocusing our attention. Alixandra Barasch, a cognitive（认知的）scientist at New York University, has run similar studies at Stanford, where participants either take photos or don’t take photos while on a museum tour. When instructed to take photos of an exhibit, her participants were more likely to remember visual aspects of their experience (the art and other things they saw) than if they didn’t take photos. But there’s a trade-off: The participants taking photos were less likely to remember information they heard. “Photos are increasing visual memories.” Barasch says, “but it doesn’t come without a cost.” And that cost is our attention. If we are so focused on photos and visuals, we are more likely to ignore other things around us. And what gets ignored does not get remembered. The lesson here is that we’re probably limiting our experience when we’re so focused on our cameras. Photos and recordings are always going to be a thin slice of what you experienced. “When we look back on those photos, they do serve as memory cues, but they’re not necessarily reminding us of the whole story. They were taken merely by our eyes. What were other senses doing then?” says Linda Henkel, a psychologist from Fairfield University. Barasch’s research finds evidence that smartphones are changing what we notice — they are redirecting or refocusing our attention. When we are hunting for the perfect Facebook shot, we’re not listening, we’re not smelling, and we’re not always paying attention to the beautiful, complex small details that make up the moment. 32. What is the best title for the text? A. Camera narrows our attention. B. How smartphone affect our life. C. Go back to the old-style cameras. D. Why not put away your smartphones. 33. What can we conclude from Barasch’s study? A. Camera use can lead to some failure in memory. B. Photographing is forbidden in the museums. C. Participants took photos randomly during the tour. D. Participants taking photos remember information better. 34. What does Henkel advise us to do? A. Make the impossible possible. B. Get our senses fully employed. C. Pay attention to people around us. D. Get well prepared for the possible future. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards smartphone photography? A. Satisfaction. B. Supportive. C. Sorry D. Hateful. 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。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 It is easy to talk yourself out of exercising.
