In 2010, “LifeInADay” brought the online community together for a massive

Section B – Passages (22 分)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several
questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked
A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given
in the passage you have just read.
( A )
For those who make journeys across the world, the speed of travel today has turned
the countries into a series of villages. Distances between them appear no greater
to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village
to village. Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other, allowing
them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.
Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. A price
has been paid, they say, for the conquest(征服) of time and distance. Travel is
something to be enjoyed, not endured. The boat offers leisure and time enough to
appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also
has a special charm about it. Lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping past
your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing.
On board a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow
window of the airplane. The soft lighting, in-flight films and gentle music make
up the only world you know, and the hours progress slowly.
Then there is the time spent being “processed” at a modern airport. People
are conveyed(运送) like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed, tickets produced,
examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area.
Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted to being “processed”
at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent. No wonder, then, that the
modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.
Man, however, is now a world traveler and cannot refuse the airplane. The working
lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around
its design and operation. The holiday maker, too, with limited time to spend,
patiently endures the busy airports and limited space of the flight to gain those
extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. Speed controls people’s lives; time
saved, in work or play, is the important thing—or so we are told. Perhaps those
first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better
world than the one we know today. They could travel at will, and the clock was not
their master.
27. What does the writer try to express in the first paragraph?
A. Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages.
B. The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short.
C. The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams.
D. Man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place.
28. How does the writer support the underlined statement?
A. By giving examples.
B. By analyzing cause and effect.
C. By following the order of time.
D. By giving instructions.
29. Passengers are turning back to modern high-speed trains because______.
A. they pay less for the tickets.
B. they feel safer during the travel.
C. they can enjoy higher speed of travel.
D. they don’t have to waste time being “processed”.
30. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Air travel benefits people and industries.
B. Train Travel has some advantages over air travel.
C. The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.
D. Great changes have taken place in modern travel.
