212637. （2025•铁一中学•高二下期中）     What if everything happens for a reason？Burnt toast theory，a modern view on this classic idea，suggests that every little inconvenience we experience in our day-to-day lives happens for a bigger reason.
    Imagine you accidentally burn your toast before leaving for work.According to burnt toast theory，this tiny inconvenience can cause a domino effect（多米诺效应）.Your morning gets delayed by three to five minutes-just enough time to leave the house later than usual and avoid a potential car accident.Or perhaps you catch a later train，missing an awkward encounter with someone you don't intend to see.You might even meet someone new whom you wouldn't have otherwise met，leading to a friendship or romantic connection.
    When we feel like things are outside our control，that can be scary.The burnt toast theory can help some people let go of their need for control and take negative situations more positively.
    However，while maintaining a positive mindset can be beneficial，over-optimism can lead to"poisonous positivity".When we only allow ourselves to focus on positive thoughts，we are denying ourselves the chance to properly deal with challenges and difficult situations to better ourselves，focusing on creating a false positive facade（假象） instead.By constantly avoiding negative experiences，we might ignore their real impact on us and fail to acknowledge when we're struggling.It can make us feel worse about ourselves，and may lead to pushing down negative feelings or experiences，and refusing to acknowledge or deal with them fully.
    Instead of focusing purely on positive thinking，working towards developing a growth mindset may be more helpful.You don't always have to look for life's silver linings，or even the meaning behind a little burnt toast.Sometimes things happen，and they suck.But as long as we take time to acknowledge how these things make us feel，and recognize that we can't always control everything around us，we can still work towards improving ourselves，and how we handle life's unexpected challenges-and that's what really matters.

（1）What can be inferred from the burnt toast theory？
A.Life is a process，not destination.
B.Lost in the east，gained in the west.
C.Life is full of endless challenges.
D.Lost time will never be found again.
（2）Which can be an outcome from"poisonous positivity"？
A.Loss of chances to grow.
B.Failure to acknowledge others.
C.Inability to control emotions.
D.Decline in physical health.
（3）Which can be seen as a growth mindset mentioned in the last paragraph？
A.Finding reasons for failure.
B.Avoiding pushing others too hard.
C.Accepting life and making it better.
D.Keeping a positive mindset and working hard.
（4）Which is the best possible title for the text？
A.Burn Toast Theory：Find a True Self
B.Burn Toast Theory：Lead a Positive Life
C.Burn Toast Theory：More than Positivity
D.Burn Toast Theory：How to Live Actively

[解析]

（1）细节理解题。根据第二段的内容，尤其是Imagine you accidentally burn your toast before leaving for work...leading to a friendship or romantic connection.（想象一下，你在上班前不小心把吐司烤糊了……从而建立了友谊或浪漫关系。）可知，烤焦面包理论认为，我们日常生活中经历的小小不便可能有一个更大的原因。比如，你上班前不小心把面包烤焦了，这个小小的不便可能会导致一系列连锁反应，最终可能带来积极的结果，如避免车祸、错过尴尬的相遇，甚至结识新朋友。这反映了"塞翁失马，焉知非福"的思想。因此，从烤焦面包理论中可以推断出B选项"Lost in the east，gained in the west.（失之东隅，收之桑榆）"是正确的。故选B。
（2）细节理解题。根据第四段However，while maintaining a positive mindset can be beneficial，over﹣optimism can lead to 'poisonous positivity'....It can make us feel worse about ourselves，and may lead to pushing down negative feelings or experiences，and refusing to acknowledge or deal with them fully.（然而，虽然保持积极的心态可能是有益的，但过度乐观可能会导致"有毒的积极性"……它会让我们对自己感觉更糟，并可能导致负面情绪或经历被压下，拒绝承认或完全处理它们。）可知，"有毒的积极性"指的是只关注积极想法，否认自己面对挑战和困难情况以更好地提升自己的机会，从而可能导致我们忽视它们的真实影响，无法承认自己的挣扎，甚至可能压抑负面情绪或经历，拒绝完全承认或处理它们。因此，A选项"Loss of chances to grow.（失去成长的机会）"是"有毒的积极性"可能带来的结果。故选A。
（3）细节理解题。根据最后一段Instead of focusing purely on positive thinking，working towards developing a growth mindset may be more helpful....But as long as we take time to acknowledge how these things make us feel，and recognize that we can't always control everything around us，we can still work towards improving ourselves，and how we handle life's unexpected challenges﹣and that's what really matters.（与其纯粹专注于积极思考，不如努力培养成长心态可能更有帮助……但只要我们花时间承认这些事情给我们带来的感受，并认识到我们不能总是控制周围的一切，我们仍然可以努力提高自己，以及我们如何应对生活中意想不到的挑战，这才是真正重要的。）可知，成长型心态不是纯粹地关注积极思考，而是承认生活中的不如意，认识到我们无法控制周围的一切，但仍然努力提升自己，以及我们如何应对生活中的意外挑战。因此，C选项"Accepting life and making it better.（接受生活并让它变得更好）"可以被视为最后一段中提到的成长型心态。故选C。
（4）标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了烤焦面包理论，即我们日常生活中经历的小小不便可能有一个更大的原因，并探讨了这种理论对人们心态的影响。文章指出，虽然保持积极的心态是有益的，但过度乐观可能导致"有毒的积极性"，而培养成长型心态可能更有帮助。因此，C选项"Burn Toast Theory：More than Positivity（烤焦面包理论：不仅仅是积极）"最能概括文章的主旨，是本文的最佳标题。故选C。

205425. （2020•西安中学•高二下期末） Getting rid of dirt，in the opinion of most people，is a good thing．However，there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt．
   In the early 16th century，people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease，as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in．A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths．By 1538，the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom．So did the king of England in 1546．Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way．Henry IV，king of France，was famously dirty．Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath，the king ordered that，to avoid the attack of disease，the nobleman should not go out．
   Though the belief in the merit（优点） of dirt was long-lived，dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century．Scientifically speaking，cleaning away dirt is good to health．Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease．Yet，it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II．Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea：clothes need to be whiter than white，cloths ever softer，surfaces to shine．Has the hate for dirt，however，gone too far？
   Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays．Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt，which might be responsible for the spread of disease．On the contrary，Mary Ruebush，an American immunologist（免疫学家），encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system．And the latter position is gaining some ground．

（1）The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because        ．
A．they lived healthily in a dirty environment
B．they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in
C．they considered bathing as cause of skin disease
D．They believed disease could be spread in public baths
（2）Which of the following best describes Henry IV's attitude to bathing？
A．Curious
B．Afraid
C．Approving
D．Uninterested
（3）How does the passage mainly develop？
A．By following the order of time．
B．By making comparison．
C．By providing examples．
D．By following the order of importance．
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the passages？
A．To call attention to the danger of dirt．
B．To introduce the history of dirt．
C．To present the change of views on dirt．
D．To stress the role of dirt．

205754. （2018•西安一中•高一上期末） The most popular PE class at Waukegan High School in Illinois，US，takes place in a basement field house．
It is the school's version of CrossFit，the difficult physical exercise that has exploded in popularity over the last 16 years at thousands of gyms．It has more than one million devotees（爱好者） and a professional competition shown on ESPN．
Schools around the Chicago area have adopted CrossFit to interest students at a time of a rising weight problem among young people，and most say it really works compared with traditional gym classes．
"I think it's a great way to teach kids lifelong fitness，especially those kids who aren't interested in hockey（曲棍球），soccer or basketball，"said the teacher，Tracy Haraf from Illinois' Stony Creek Elementary，which devotes half of its PE days to CrossFit exercises． "They think it's tough，but I think they have a lot of fun doing it．"
Senior Alexus Wiltz，18，said the workout had improved her performance on the basketball court．"I noticed I was faster．I paid more attention on the court，my defending was better，"she said after a recent class．"It just really helped me．"
But some doctors and researchers advise caution，saying the exercises that involve lifting weights can lead to injuries，particularly when performed by few inexperienced people．
Doctor Craig Finlayson at Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago said he was worried that while strength training is fine for kids，heavy weights could be trouble for teenagers who might hurt themselves by trying to do too much or using poor form．
CrossFit Inc，the company that certifies（证明） trainers and licenses gyms，disagrees that its program is more dangerous than other fitness routines．Gym teachers in Waukegan's Greg Moisio，whose two-campus school has about 73%kids taking CrossFit each day，also say the risk of injury can be reduced with proper teaching and CrossFit's flexibility（灵活性）．

202501. （2021•西安中学•一模） Free school meals are back in the news.Footballer Marcus Rashford's petition（请愿书） to extend free school meals provision （供给） into the school holidays has collected 1.1 million signatures，causing the government to reverse policy.It has restarted the debate over free school meals，fuelled，most recently，by figures forecasting that if the government ends as planned the current ￡20 top-up（附加款），another 200，000 children will slip into poverty.This is in addition to the 550，000 children already living in poverty previous to COVID-19.
   The roots of the current school meals system lie in the mid-19th century.In Manchester，independent charities as well as official bodies started to provide free meals for undernourished children in the 1870s.When education became compulsory in the following decades，the extent of the issue became apparent.Proponents of feeding starving children pointed out that it was due to government order that children were in school，not working and contributing to the family food budget，so the government should pay.
   Reception was mixed.Then，as now，children rejected foods they weren't used to.Diaries of the time talked of "little bags of mystery" （sausages）.Some children were put off brassicas （芥菜类） for life.Finding the balance between cheap and good proved hard.The chief medical officer talked about the lack in calorie value and elements of a well-balanced diet which a needy child does not get at home，such as milk，cheese，eggs，green vegetables，fruit and meat.In 1980，the Tory government，desperate to cut costs，made provision largely optional and abolished nutritional standards.Over the next 15 years convenience and cost became the most important.
   Today，school meals provision is linked to benefits：in England around 17 percent of children are entitled to free school meals.Provision is outsourced （外包），leading to huge variation.In the last year，we've seen all of the age-old debates repeated once more.How do we decide who is entitled？How do we guarantee quality？Who decides what children eat？Who pays？Undernutrition does not just have physical effects，but also affects behavior and ability to learn.It has a lifelong impact.The arguments around free school meals seem never to end.But they are hugely important and，until poverty is ended，they will not and should not go away.

（1）Why did Marcus Rashford start the petition？
A．To feed an increasing number of children in poverty.
B．To restart the debate over free school meals.
C．To raise fund for hunger relief for children.
D．To lift children out of poverty.
（2）What does the paragraph 2 probably talk about？
A．Manchester and independent charities set up school free meals.
B．It was government that should pay for the school meals.
C．How did the current school meals system come into existence？
D．It was compulsory education that contributed to free school meals.
（3）What can we infer about school meals from paragraph 3？
A．Some children liked brassicas provided in the school.
B．School meals were both tasty and cheap.
C．School meals failed to meet children's nutritional needs.
D．The Tory government chose nutrition over cost.
（4）What does the writer think of the debates over free school meals？
A．Never-ending.
B．Meaningless.
C．Influential.
D．Necessary.

202520. （2021•西安中学•二模） Researchers studied data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey，organized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention （CDC） in the United States and looked at the relationship between cups of coffee drunk per day and both total body fat percentage and abdominal or trunk fat.
   They found that women aged 20---40 who drank two or three cups of coffee per day had the lowest level of obesity，3.4% lower than people who did not consume coffee.Among women aged between 45-69，those who drank four or more cups had an obesity percentage 4.1% lower.
   Overall，the average total body fat percentage was 2.8% lower among women of all ages who drank two or three cups of coffee per day.
   The findings were consistent whether the coffee consumed was caffeinated（含咖啡因的）or decaffinated and among smokers/non-smokers and those suffering from chronic diseases（慢性病） when compared to those in good health.
   In men，the relationship was less significant although men aged 20-44 who drank two or three cups per day had 1.3% less total fat and 1.8% less trunk fat than those who didn't consume coffee.
   Around 7 million tons of coffee is consumed globally every year.Dr.Lee Smith，senior author of the study，said： "Our research suggests that there may be active compounds in coffee other than caffeine that manage weight and which could potentially be used as anti-obesity compounds."
   "It could be possible that coffee，or its effective ingredients could be integrated into a healthy diet strategy to reduce the burden of chronic conditions related to the obesity，" Dr.Lee Smith added. "It's important to interpret the findings of this study in light of its limitations - the study was at a specific point in time so trends cannot be established.However，we don't believe that someone's weight is likely to influence their coffee consumption."

（1）What can be inferred from the text？
A．Coffee has less effect on men than women in fat according to the findings.
B．The women aged 20-44 like to drink two or three cups of coffee per day.
C．The researchers found that the coffee consumers preferred caffeinated coffee.
D．Trends will be established to limit people's weight by their coffee consumption.
（2）What in coffee mainly influences body fat according to Dr.Lee Smith？
A．The caffeine.
B．The decaffeinated.
C．The effective compounds.
D．The rich nutrition.
（3）What might the study be used for？
A．Developing a new coffee.
B．The treatment of obesity.
C．The treatment of heart disease.
D．The study of physical differences between the sexes.
（4）Where is this text most likely from？
A．A diary.

205060. （2022•蓝田县•高一下期末） Precision（精确）agriculture is a method of growing crops.Farmers use technology to collect very precise or exact measurements about their land.It tells farmers how they planted seeds，used fertilizers and chemical pesticides，and so on.Farm equipment can plant different amounts of seeds and leave different amounts of fertilizer in different parts of a field.Water measuring equipment can tell farmers how much water their plants are getting.
   But some of this technology is too costly for small farmers，especially in developing countries.Ranveer Chandra，the Microsoft researcher from India，is working to develop low-cost，high-tech tools for farmers.He developed a system that connects soil sensors to other sensing equipment through unused television（TV）channels.These unused TV signals，known as "white space" frequencies（频率），can provide Internet connection over long distances.Some hospitals and schools in rural areas are already online with white-space connections，Chandra noted.
   Each soil sensor provides information about conditions on the farm.To connect all the areas into a big picture，a drone aircraft takes photographs from high in the air.Artificial intelligence（AI）compares these photos to the sensor data.AI then can create maps of where the soil is too acidic or needs more water.Similar technology can also help farmers watch their animals.Video cameras connected to computers and linked to the Internet can help farmers recognize sick cattle，for example.
   However，the level and speed at which new farming skills and technologies will spread remains unclear.Bruce Erickson is a precision farming expert at Purdue University in Indiana.He told the CSA the one problem faced by any new farming technology is getting people to use it with their existing methods.Different countries have different farming methods and different ways of doing business. "It takes people to carry out new farming practices，" Erickson said.

（1）How is paragraph1 mainly developed？
A．By following the order of space.
B．By giving specific examples.
C．By making comparisons.
D．By analyzing causes.
（2）What did Ranveer Chandra research？
A．How to design AI for making maps.
B．How to profit from the unused TV signals.
C．How to develop a drone aircraft for farming.
D．How to lower the cost of farming technology.
（3）What is paragraph 3 mainly about？
A．The future of artificial intelligence.
B．The process of using white-space connections.
C．The practical application in precision agriculture.
D．The achievement in designing high-tech farming tools.
（4）What can we infer about the future of precision agriculture from the last paragraph？
A．It needs time to be readily accepted by modern farmers.
B．It depends on the development of new farming technology.
C．It will revolutionize the traditional farming.
D．It has to gain support from agricultural experts.

205695. （2018•西安中学•高二下期末） Summer heat can be dangerous，and heat leads to tragedy far too often．According to kidsandcars.org，an average of 37 young children per year die of car heat in the US，when they are accidentally left in a hot vehicle．
   For Bishop Curry，a fifth grader from McKinney，Texas，one such incident hit close to home．A six-month-old baby from his neighborhood died after hours in a hot car．After hearing about her death，Curry decided that something needed to be done．Young Curry，who turned 11 this year，has always had a knack for inventing things，and he drew up a sketch（草图） of a device he called "Oasis．"
   The device would attach to car seats and watch the temperature inside the car．If it reached a certain temperature in the car，and the device sensed a child in the car seat，it would begin to circulate cool air．Curry also designs the device using GPS and Wi-Fi technology，which would alarm the child's parents and，if there was no response from them，the police．
   Curry's father believes that the invention has potential． "The cool thing about Bishop's thinking is none of this technology is new，" he said． "We feel like the way he's thinking and combining all these technologies will get to production faster．" His father even introduced the device to Toyota，where he works as an engineer．The company was so impressed that they sent Curry and his father to a car safety conference in Michigan．
   In January，Curry's father launched a campaign for the invention．They hope to raise money to finalize the patent，build models，and find a manufacturer．Their goal was＄20，000，but so many people believed in Oasis' potential that they have raised more than twice that--over＄46，000．

A．It used some of the most advanced technology．
B．It simply combined technologies that existed．
C．It could accelerate production of new technology．
D．It is the most advanced among similar products．
（4）Why did Curry's father start a campaign to raise money？

202538. （2021•西安中学•八模） $德优题库$ China's Tianwen 1 Mars probe （探测器） conducted its fourth orbital correction on Friday evening，as the spacecraft makes ready for its arrival in orbit around Feb.10，according to the China National Space Administration.
   The name comes from the long poem Tianwen，meaning Heavenly Questions or Questions to Heaven，written by Qu Yuan，one of the greatest poets of ancient China.In Tianwen，this name conveys the Chinese nation's steady effort in pursuing truth and culture of exploring nature and the universe.CNSA also unveiled（发布）the logo of China's planetary exploration missions，featuring the letter C，signifying China，international cooperation and capacity of entering space.
   Tianwen 1 has flown for 197 days and more than 465 million kilometers on its journey to the planet.It is now around 184 million km from Earth and 1.1 million km from Mars.Depending on the two planets' orbits，Mars is between 55 and 400 million km from Earth.Mars probe Tianwen 1 is seen in its first selfies in space on Oct.1，2020.The administration also published a black-and-white picture of Mars taken by Tianwen 1，the first snapshot （抓拍的照片）from the Chinese craft.
   Tianwen 1，the country's first independent Mars mission，was launched by a Long March 5 heavy-lift carrier rocket on July 23 from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan province，kicking off the nation's planetary exploration program.
   A successful landing would make China only the second nation to place a spacecraft on the Martian planet.China would also be the first to successfully orbit，land and deploy（部署）a vehicle in the same mission.According to experts，searching for signs of life on Mars will be the first and foremost scientific goal.China is open and inclusive in the development of its space technology not least because it believes that the exploration of outer space should help build a community with a shared future for mankind.

205880. （2017•西安中学•高一下期末） A new study in December's Journal of Family Psychology says that working mothers report being healthier and happier than the stay-at-home mothers．The author，Dr．Cheryl Buehler，concludes that"A mother's economic role is central to family life，and it supports her well-being and her parenting．"What about the miserably conflicted working mother crying at her desk because her baby's first words were"au pair（家务女工）"？
Though Buehler's study relies on data from more than 1，300 mothers of young children across the U．S．-tracked over a 10-year period-the research is far from perfect．To begin with，it's pretty old，as it covers the decade beginning in 1991．So it's unfair to ask whether contemporary（当代的）working moms，whose companies have been downsized（减员的） and whose bosses may expect them to turn on their Black Berries for 24 hours，are quite as peaceful as their Clinton-time mothers．Even more importantly，the study focused on part-time working moms．
But what really makes this study unique is that the focus is on the mothers as well as the children．After decades of research on how working mothers affect their children，somebody's finally gotten around to investigate how it affects the moms．The study also takes a big step to the ongoing need for flexibility（灵活性） in the American workplace-and at home，because this is the power of balance．What's right for any family is what makes the members within it as happy and fulfilled as possible．
The idea that both work and parenting-especially in combination-can contribute to a woman's mental and physical health is good news．But we're complicated beings and the things that satisfy us are diverse（多元的）．They're our children and our careers．Nobody said it was easy．But maybe if you want to have it all，a good place to start is by doing it all．

（1）What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the first paragraph？
A．Working mother doesn't like her job．
B．Working mother is often not very happy．
C．Working mother hates the au pair very much．
D．Working mother loves to cry to relax herself．
（2）What do we know from the second paragraph？
A．Part time working mothers are happier than before．
B．The Clinton-time mothers are much busier than today's．
C．Today's moms have much better cellphones than before．
D．The contemporary working moms have much more pressure．
（3）In the third paragraph，the author        ．
A．emphasizes the flexibility in the American working time
B．believes it is not very important to do this kind for research
C．loves to see the research on how working mothers affect themselves
D．considers study on how working mothers affect their children necessary．

205668. （2018•西安中学•高一上期末） After years of heated debate，gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park．Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park．By last year，the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves．
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States，but they were gradually displaced by human development．By the 1920s，wolves had disappeared from the Yellowstone area．They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada，where there were fewer humans around．
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results．Deer and elk populations - major food sources （来源） for the wolf - grew rapidly．These animals consumed （消耗） large amounts of vegetation （植被），which reduced plant diversity （多样性） in the park．In the absence of wolves，coyote populations also grew quickly．The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park's red foxes，and completely drove away the park's beavers．
As early as 1966，biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park．They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems．Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets．
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves．The U．S．Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone．Today，the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone．Elk，deer，and coyote populations are down，while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback．The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well．

（1）What is the text mainly about？
A．Wildlife research in the United States．
B．Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area．
C．The conflict between farmers and gray wolves．
D．The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park．
（2）What does the underlined word "displaced" in paragraph 2 mean？
A．Tested．
B．Separated．
C．Forced out．
D．Tracked down．
（3）What has caused the disappearance of gray wolves？
A．Damage to local ecology．
B．A drop in the park's income．
C．Protection of vegetation．
D．An increase in the diversity of animals．
（4）What is the author's attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project？
A．Doubtful．
B．Positive．
C．Unfavorable．
D．Uncaring．

205640. （2018•西安中学•高一下期末） Imagine，one day，getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours，and then，after a full day of work，going back home to Beijing and having dinner there．
   Sounds unusual，doesn't it？But it's not that unrealistic，with the development of China's high-speed railway system．And that's not all．China has an even greater high-speed railway plan to connect the country with Southeast Asia，and eventually Eastern Europe．China is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years，eventually reaching London and Singapore．
   China has proposed three such projects．The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia．Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan，and possibly to Germany．The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe．The new system would still follow China's high-speed railway standard．And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour，almost as fast as some airplanes．Of course，there are some technical challenges to overcome．There are so many issues that need to be settled，such as safety，rail gauge（轨距），maintenance of railway tracks．But the key issue is really money．China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion．
   China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment．Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development．It'll be a win-win project．For other countries，the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business，tourism and so on，not to mention the better communication among those countries．
   For China，such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources，but would also help develop China's far west．We foresee that in the coming decades，millions of people will migrate to the western regions，where the land is empty and resources unused．With high-speed trains，people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all．And they'll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries．

（1）According to the passage，the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is        ．
A．technical issues
B．safety of the system
C．financial problems
D．maintenance of railway tracks
（2）China's new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because        ．
A．China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regions．
B．China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways．
C．China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries．
D．The foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation，business and tourism．
（3）Which of the following words best describes the author's attitude towards China's high-speed railway plan？
A．Critical．
B．Reserved．
C．Doubtful．
D．Positive．
（4）Which of the following might be the best title for the passage？
A．New Railway Standards
B．Big Railway Dreams
C．High-speed Bullet Trains
D．International Railway Network
