19.The new high-speed railway line between Urumqi,capital of the Xinjiang Uygur self-governing region,and Lanzhou,capital of Gansu province,has cut train travel time by half to less than 12hours.
The dramatic improvement will benefit many families planning reunions for Spring Festival.
"For the first time,I feel home is not that far away after all."said Liang Shaofu as he boarded a high-speed train in Urumqi with six members of his family.
The 35-year-old left Lanzhou to set up a dry fruit business in Xinjiang eight years ago,and he has now settled in Urumqi.
The 1,776-km line,which passes through Qinghai province and is the country's first high-speed railway to be built in a high-altitude region,came into service on Dec 26.
"We normally drive home for Spring Festival to avoid the difficulties of buying seven train tickets for the whole family during the peak season."Liang said."Driving can be very tiring and dangerous sometimes,so one year we even decided not to go back to Lanzhou simply to avoid the trip."
More than 600,000passengers traveled on the line during its first month,and the Urumqi Railway Bureau said the introduction of high-speed services will ease transport pressure during the Spring Festival peak season.
The existing usual railway line could no longer support Xinjiang's development.All passengers trains will gradually shift to the new link,leaving the old one to be used for goods.As a result,Xinjiang's annual goods ability could reach 200million metric tons from the current 70million.
The line passes through areas that experience high winds,and it also crosses parts of the deserted Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the bone-dry sands of the Gobi Desert.
The project could help China to promote its high-speed railway technology abroad,said Ma Xizhang,director of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang railway project's management department in Xinjiang.

分析 本文講述了新疆到蘭州高速鐵路的修建使得時間縮短一半后,需要不到12小時的時間.鐵路過渡到貨運,貨運量得以增加,從而支持了新疆的發(fā)展,另外對于春節(jié)回家的人來說也是非常方便.
解答 9:D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第一段中的"…h(huán)as cut train travel time by half to less than 12 hours."可知,時間縮短一半后,還需要不到12小時的時間,故可知原來需要大概24小時.故正確答案為D.
10:D 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第八段前兩句"The existing usual railway line could no longer support Xinjiang's development.All passenger trains will gradually shift to the new link,leaving the old one to be used for goods."可知,原來的老鐵路不再能支持新疆的發(fā)展,高速鐵路的修建使得舊鐵路過渡到貨運,貨運量得以增加,從而支持了新疆的發(fā)展.其它選項均不符合文意.故正確答案為D.
11:B 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)最后一段中的"The project could help China to promote its high-speed railway technology abroad"可知,這個項目可以促進中國的高鐵技術(shù)走向世界,即中國的高鐵新技術(shù)可以幫助其他的一些國家修建更多的鐵路.故正確答案為B.
12:C 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第六段中的"'Driving can be very tiring and dangerous sometimes,so one year we even decided not to go back to Lanzhou simply to avoid the trip.'"可知乘坐新的高鐵和自己駕車相比要安全,C項正確;根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可知,此處說的是高鐵對春節(jié)回家的人來說,更為便捷,此處的"all the people"錯誤,因此A項錯誤;根據(jù)第六段第一句"We normally drive home for Spring Festival to avoid the difficulties of buying seven train tickets for the whole family during the peak season",可知D項錯誤;根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段第二句"All passenger trains will gradually shift to the new link,leaving the old one to be used for goods"可知B項錯誤.故正確答案為C.
