But starting this month, the new Xi’an-Chengdu high-speed railway will shorten this travel time to three hours.The 643-kilometer line is China’s first high-speed railway to run through the Qinling Mountains, which form a natural boundary (分界线) between China’s north and south. With a speed of 250 km per hour, it’s also the first mountain-heavy train line to provide a 4G network. Along the way, the train passes through two areas for rare (稀有) wild animals — one for pandas and the other for crested ibises (朱鹮).To reduce the railway’s influence on the animals, workers and experts have designed and built the railway to be environmentally friendly. There were 345 wild pandas living in the Qinling Mountains. China currently has 1,864 wild pandas in total, according to the Xinhua News Agency.To avoid disturbing the pandas, the railway was designed to run through tunnels (隧道) within the area. Protective shields (防护屏) are placed near the entrance of each tunnel to stop animals from going in.To protect the thousands of crested ibises that fly near one part of the railway, protective nets have been set up to make sure the birds will not fly into a train.The nets are about 32 km long and 4 meters high. Experts tested different shapes and materials for building the nets before making their final choice.24. Which of the following is TRUE about the new Xi’an-Chengdu railway?A.

Xi’an Chengdu high-speed railway.COctober might seem to be pumpkin month in the U.S. The holiday of Halloween (万圣节) comes on October 31. Americans around the country are already using social media to show off their pumpkin growing and carving skills.Pumpkins are round, orange fruits related to squashes (南瓜小果) and gourds (葫芦). People use their flesh and seeds for food, but they are also popular decorations in the fall.Two big pumpkins recently made headlines in the U.S. A farmer in the northeastern state of Rhode Island broke the record for the largest pumpkin ever grown in North America. Richard Wallace’s pumpkin weighed 1,026 kilograms. It broke his son’s record from 2015. Ron Wallace’s pumpkin only weighed 1,011 kilograms last year.A schoolteacher in the northwestern state of Washington brought her large pumpkin to an event in California. Her pumpkin was the champion, weighing 866 kilograms. It turns out that Cindy Tobeck’s pumpkin grew from one of the seeds from Ron Wallace’s pumpkin from 2015.While those pumpkins are large, they are still not the largest in the world. According to the website , Richard Wallace’s pumpkin is only the second-heaviest pumpkin of the year. A man in Belgium produced a pumpkin that weighed almost 1,200 kilograms. Smithsonian magazine wrote a story about people who try to grow large pumpkins. In 35 years, the size of record pumpkins has grown from about 225 kilograms to over 1,000 kilograms. Pumpkin farmers trying to growrecord fruits are taking the seeds of champion pumpkins from one year and breeding them with other large pumpkins.But people are not just growing pumpkins. They are carving them, too. One Twitter user from Britain recently posted a photo of a pumpkin designed to look like U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump. No word of a Hillary Clinton pumpkin design. But one pumpkin farmer in California allows visitors to shoot small pumpkins out of a cannon（大炮）. The targets? Large paper cut-outs of both Trump and Clinton.28. According to the text, which of the following statements is FALSE?A. In 2015, the then record pumpkin weighed about 1026 kilograms.B. Halloween falls on October every year.C. In the U. S., pumpkins are used for entertainment as well as for food.D. The new record pumpkin usually has biological relationship with the previous record pumpkin.29. So far, the heaviest pumpkin was produced in ________.A. BritainB. Rhode IslandC. WashingtonD. Belgium30. The underlined word “breeding” in the 4th paragraph probably means _______.A. improving the qualityB. producing young ones in a controlled wayC. speeding up the growing processD. strengthening the ability to resist disease31. How is the last paragraph mainly developed?A. By telling experiencesB. By offering analysesC. By listing examplesD. By making comparisonsDCan you imagine a world without music? Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money. Worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them, students’ academicgrowth and emotional health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools.Recent studies by Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in math and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by The College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students’ academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education.Music programs in public schools also help to add to a student’s sense of pride and self­confidence. Teens today have too many learning tasks. Besides, they have family problems, self­confidence problems, relationship troubles, and choices about drugs and alcohol. All of these can stop academic success, but music education can help. A study by The Texas Commission on Drug and Alcohol Abuse found that students who took part in school music programs were less likely to turn to drugs. Music programs encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance.Music crosses language, class, cultural and political boundaries (界限). Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet (二重奏) with an American classmate. Although they could not communicate verbally (口头上) , they were able to read the music in order to play the duet. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with self­confidence and common purpose through music.The gift of music is priceless. We need to be sure to have necessary music classes for all students. The world is losing its music, and putting music into schools is the first step to get it back.32. Education with music classes could ___________.A. waste a lot more money from parentsB. have a bad influence on the quality of educationC. lead to a lot of emotional problems easilyD. help students improve their school work33. The two studies seem to show that ___________.A. students with great success attended music lessonsB. music plays an important role in students’ successC. not all students took part in music lessonsD. students having music classes are better in all lessons34. The example in Paragraph 4 mainly suggests that ___________.A. music makes cross­country communication possibleB. different cultures have different styles of musicC. Japan has a good international relationship with AmericaD. Japanese and American students are good at playing the piano35. What is the best title for the text?A. Music — a bridge to understandingB. How to get music backC. Music education in schoolsD. The importance of listening to music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(A、B、C、D、E、F、G)选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
