　　河南专升本英语真题(阅读理解)

　　Passage 2

　　For years and years people have been saying that the railways are dead. “We can do without railways,” people say, as if motorcars and planes made the railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, and that they’re dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days when oil is expensive, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they’re cheaper than planes.

　　Railways have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, it takes you from the heart of a city into the heart of another. But a railway doesn’t leave you as a plane does, miles and miles away from the city center. It doesn’t hold you up as a motorcar does, in endless traffic jams. And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do.

　　Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modern railway lines give you a smooth, untroubled journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning. We have entered the age of superfast trains, traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spend so much on motorways we can’t use because we don’t have enough money to buy oil and planes we can’t fly for the same reason.

　　1.Some people think the railways are dead for many reasons except that ______. A. trains are dying B. oil is expensive today C. trains are slow D. railways lose money

　　2.The author’s idea about railways seems to be that ______. A. we can do without railways B. trains have much in common with motorcars and planes C. motorcars and planes are not as good as trains D. trains are as good as motorcars and planes

　　3.According to the author, which of the following is NOT true? A. It is cheaper to travel by train than by plane. B. The railway station is usually in the center of a city. C. When you get off the plane you will find yourself right in the city center. D. No motorcar or plane can carry as many goods as a train does in a cheap way.

　　4.According to the author, the disadvantage of motorcars and planes is that ______. A. they cannot travel fast enough B. too much money will be spent on oil C. they cannot give a smooth, untroubled journey D. the travelers cannot enjoy the scene in their journey

　　5.What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The railways are dead now. B. Motorcars and planes have made the railways unnecessary. C. We’ve entered the age of superfast trains. D. The advantages of the railways enable them to be alive even nowadays.

　　答案解析

　　1.【答案】B。

　　解析：细节题。题干：有些人认为铁路过时有很多原因，除了______。该题关键词是 railways, dead 和 reasons。根据关键词定位至第一段第三句 We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, and that they’re dying.(我们都不断 听到火车慢、赔钱，正在没落)可知，我们总是听到有人说火车速度慢，铁路赔钱并且 正在没落，所以 A 项“火车正在没落”、C 项“火车很慢”、D 项“铁路亏损”三项 都是有些人认为铁路过时的原因。根据第一段倒数第二句 In these days when oil is expensive, the railways have become highly competitive...(在燃油昂贵的日子里，铁路变 得非常有竞争力)可知，现在的高油价使铁路相比汽车和飞机非常具有竞争力，所以目 前油价高并不是铁路过时的原因，B 项“如今石油很贵”符合题意，故选 B。

　　2.【答案】C。

　　解析：推断题。题干：作者认为铁路似乎是______。 根据题文同序原则定位至第一段后半部分和第二段。由第一段倒数第二句 In these days when oil is expensive, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes.(在石油价格昂贵的今天，铁路已经成为汽车和飞机的竞争对手)和第二段最后 三句 But a railway doesn’t leave you as a plane does, miles and miles away from the city center. It doesn’t hold you up as a motorcar does, in endless traffic jams. And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do.(但是铁路并不像飞机那样离市 中心很远。在无休止的交通堵塞中，它不会像汽车那样拦住你。一列火车可以运载任何 飞机或汽车都无法运载的货物)可知，作者认为由于油价高，铁路对飞机和汽车非常具 有竞争力，并且，铁路不像飞机那样把人们丢在远离市中心的地方，也不像汽车那样让 人们陷入无休止的交通堵塞之中，火车还可以运载飞机或者汽车无法运载的物品。由此 可推知，作者认为汽车和飞机没有铁路好，所以 C 项“汽车和飞机不如火车好”正确， D 项“火车和汽车、飞机一样好”不正确。根据第一段第二句“We can do without railways,” people say, as if motorcars and planes made the railways unnecessary.(“我们可以没有铁路，”人们说，好像汽车和飞 机使铁路变得不必要)可知，人们认为他们可以没有铁路，但这并不是作者的观点，所 以 A 项“我们可以没有铁路”不正确;B 项“火车与汽车和飞机有许多共同之处”与 第二段第一句 Railways have much in common with planes(. 铁路与飞机有许多共同之处) 不符，文中只是提到铁路与飞机有共同之处，并未提及和汽车也有共同之处。综上分析，故选 C。

　　3.【答案】C。

　　解析：细节题。题干：根据作者所述，下列哪项是不正确的?该题需要根据选项关键词对应到原文中寻找答案。根据第二段第四句 But a railway doesn’t leave you as a plane does, miles and miles away from the city center(. 但是铁路不像 飞机那样离市中心很远)可知，下飞机之后你会发现自己远离市中心，所以 C 项“当 你下飞机时，你会发现自己就在市中心”不正确，同时可知 B 项“火车站通常在城市 的中心”的表述正确。由首段最后一句 If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they’re cheaper than planes.(如果你想把人或货物从一个地方运送到另一个地方，它们比飞机 便宜)可知，A 项“坐火车比坐飞机便宜”的表述正确，需排除;由第三段最后一句 Soon we will be wondering why we spend so much on motorways we can’t use because we don’t have enough money to buy oil and planes we can’t fly for the same reason.(很快人们 就会思考为什么要花这么多钱在因为没钱买油而负担不起的汽车和飞机上)可知，D 项 “没有汽车或飞机能以廉价的方式运载像火车那样多的货物”的表述正确，需排除。题 干要求选出不正确的选项，故选 C。

　　4.【答案】B。

　　解析：细节题。题干：根据作者所述，汽车和飞机的缺点是______。根 据 第 三 段 最 后 一 句 Soon we will be wondering why we spend so much on motorways we can’t use because we don’t have enough money to buy oil and planes we can’t fly for the same reason.(很快我们就会疑惑，为什么我们要花这么多钱在我们不能使用 的高速公路上，因为我们没有足够的钱购买石油，出于同样的原因，我们也花费了太多 的钱在我们不能飞行的飞机上)可知，很快人们就会思考为什么要花这么多钱在因为没 钱买油而负担不起的汽车和飞机上。由此可知，汽车和飞机有相同的缺点——燃油会花 费太多的钱，B 项“太多的前花在燃油上”符合文意。A 项“他们跑得不够快”，C 项“他们不能提供一个顺利的、无忧无虑的旅程”， D 项“旅行者不能在旅途中欣赏风景”均与题意不符，故选 B。

　　5.【答案】D。

　　解析：主旨题。题干：这篇文章的主要观点是什么?通读全文可知，第一段指出人们认为铁路过时了，然而作者认为事实并非如此;接 下来通过举例说明了与汽车和飞机相比，铁路仍然具有竞争力，并且铁路的优势让其即 使在今天也充满活力，D 项“铁路的优势使它们即使在今天仍然存在”符合主旨大意。A 项“铁路已经消失”，B 项“汽车和飞机使铁路变得没有必要了”，C 项“我们 已经进入了超高速列车时代”均与题意无关。故选 D。
