19、lways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, that theyre dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, theyr
20、e cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a strange line and so does a railway. What is more, it takes you from the heart of a city into the heart of another. It doesnt leave you as a plane does, miles and miles from the city center. It doesnt hold you up as a
21、car 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 sc
22、ene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning. For we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorways we cant use because we have not enough money to buy the
23、 oil and planes we cant fly in for the same reason. 36 Some people think the railways are dead for many reasons except that _ . （ A） planes and motorcars have taken the place of trains （ B） oil is expensive today （ C） trains are slow （ D） railways lose money 37 The writers idea seems to be that _ .
24、（ 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 38 According to the writer, which of the following is NOT true? （ A） It is cheaper to travel by train than by
25、plane. （ B） The railway station is usually at 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, 39 According to the author, the disadvantage of cars and planes will be that _ . （ A
26、） they can not 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 40 Which of the following statements best sums up the passage? （ A） The railways are dead now. （ B） Motorcars and p
27、lanes have made the railways unnecessary. （ C） Weve entered the age of super-fast trains. （ D） The advantages of the railways enable them to be alive even nowadays. Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 Never give
28、out identifying information such as home address, school name, or telephone number in a public message such as chat or newsgroups, and be sure youre dealing with someone both you and your children know and trust before giving out this information via E-mail. Do not post photographs of your children
29、in newsgroups or on web sites that are available to the public. Never allow your child to arrange a face-to-face meeting with someone they “meet“ on the Internet. If a meeting is arranged, make the first one in a public place, and be sure to accompany your child. Remember that people online may not
30、be who they seem. Because you cant see or even hear the person it would be easy for someone to misrepresent him or herself. Thus someone indicating that “she“ is a “12-year-old girl“ could in reality be a 40-year-old man. Remember that everything you read online may not be true. Any offer thats “too
31、 good to be true“ probably is. Be careful about any offers that involve you going to a meeting, having someone visit your house, or sending money or credit-card information. Remember that personal computers and online services should not be used as electronic babysitters. Get to know your childs “on
32、line friends“ just as you get to know all of their other friends. 41 The best title for the passage is _ . （ A） Warning Against Making Online Friends （ B） Messages One Can Get Through the Internet （ C） How to Make Online Friends （ D） How to Protect Your Child on the Internet 42 According to the pass
