Ⅱ.七选五
In China, traveling by train is a common way to visit new places and go back to one’s hometown during holidays. 1 It wasn’t always that way, though.
2 Later, many railway companies started up and competed with each other to build new railway routes. Trains became a symbol of progress, with New York City’s Grand Central Station becoming a major cultural landmark(地标). 3 For example, Johnny Cash wrote a song called Folsom Prison Blues.
But little by little, railways were replaced by highways as “car culture” swept the US. China would go on to use trains even more widely than the US. 4 It allows people to travel fast with ease. This is especially obvious during Chunyun, when China’s train stations are crowded with thousands of people who are trying to get home.
I had never traveled by train until I moved to China. My first trip by train was from Beijing to Tianjin by high-speed train. It was amazing how quickly I could get there—just half an hour. Since then, I’ve taken the train to lots of other cities—Shanghai, Chongqing and Shenzhen. It’s always a good time. 5 And for some reason, even instant noodles taste better on the train than they do anywhere else.
A.Musicians even created music works about trains.
B.But in the US, traveling by train is a very old tradition.
C.People on the train tend to be friendly and happy to chat.
D.China’s railway network connects the entire country.
E.The US railway system started to grow in 1826.
F.Traveling on a high-speed train costs more than traveling on a normal train.
G.But there are many differences between Chinese and American railways.

Ⅱ. 本文是一篇说明文。在中国,乘火车旅行很常见,但在美国坐火车旅行是一个非常古老的传统。文章介绍了美国火车的发展历程,以及中国广泛使用火车的一些情况。
1.B 根据上文中的In China, traveling by train is a common way可知在中国,乘火车旅行是一种常见的方式,再结合下一段中提到了美国火车的发展可推知,设空处应当承上启下,既与上文形成对比,又提到在美国坐火车的情况。故 B 选项“但是在美国,坐火车旅行是一个非常古老的传统”符合语境。
2.E 根据后文 Later, many railway companies started up and competed with each other to build new railway routes. Trains became a symbol of progress, with New York City�s Grand Central Station becoming a major cultural landmark(地标).可知后来,许多铁路公司纷纷成立,互相竞争修建新的铁路线路。火车成为进步的象征,纽约的中央车站成为一个主要的文化地标。由此可知,设空处应是在说明美国铁路系统开始发展起来的时间。故 E 选项“美国铁路系统在 1826 年开始发展” 符合语境。
3.A 根据后文For example, Johnny Cash wrote a song called Folsom Prison Blues.(例如,Johnny Cash 写了一首叫作Folsom Prison Blues的歌。)可推知,设空处应提到了火车和音乐创作相关的内容。故 A 选项“音乐家们甚至创作了关于火车的音乐作品”符合语境。
4.D 根据上文 China would go on to use trains even more widely than the US.(中国将继续比美国更广泛地使用火车。)以及后文 It allows people to travel fast with ease. This is especially obvious during Chunyun, when China�s train stations are crowded with thousands of people who are trying to get home.(它使人们可以轻松快捷地旅行。这在春运期间尤其明显,那时中国的火车站挤满了成千上万想回家的人。)可知,中国广泛使用火车的具体表现就是铁路网连接全国,这使人们可以轻松快捷地出行。故D选项“中国的铁路网连接全国”符合语境。
5.C 根据上文 It�s always a good time.(这总是一段美好的时光。)以及后文 And for some reason, even instant noodles taste better on the train than they do anywhere else.(而且,由于某些原因,即使是方便面在火车上吃起来也比在其他地方吃起来好吃。)可知,设空处承接上文,说明火车上的美好时光的具体表现。故 C 选项“火车上的人往往很友好,也很乐意聊天”符合语境。
