20、t there must be a way to find it. I finally realized, however, that it had to include more than just my own needs, wants, and desires.

Believe it or not, the dim lighting could actually help save your life in case of a plane eme
26、rgency.The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly lit environment to one thats completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide
27、,” Alice Theriault, service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.” The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange spe
28、ckles (小斑点) as your sight adjusts to a dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about 20 to 30 minutes to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why dimming the plane lights could sho
29、rten your “dark adaptation” time since you havent been sitting under fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯) all flight. Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, it reduces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergency lighting along the passage. “Ithelps ke
30、ep you in the right direction.” Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential told The Telegraph. “It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, that might affect an escape.” So next time a pilot dims the lights, just know its
31、 for your safety, even though it creates a gentle atmosphere for your takeoff into the sky.28.The lights are turned down before take off to help passengers_.A. take a short break B. escape in time of emergency C. create a warm atmosphere D. adapt their eyes to the bright environment29.

32、f the roles of shortening “dark adaptation” time?A. Slowing down the landing. B. Adjusting the plane lights.C. Keeping passengers calm. D. Helping the crew judge outside risks.30. What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Dimming lights B. The escape process C. Reducing te

An explanation of an airline safety measure.D Imagine, one day, getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of h
34、ours, and then, after a full day of work, going back home to Beijing and having dinner there. Sounds unusual, doesnt it? But its not that unrealistic, with the development of Chinas high-speed railway system. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan to connect the country with Southeast Asi
35、a, and finally Eastern Europe. China is planning to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, eventually reaching London and Singapore. If Chinas plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could rush from London to Beijing within two days. The new s
36、ystem would still follow Chinas high-speed railway standard. And the trains would be able to run 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanes. Chinas bullet train, the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the Worlds fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about thr
37、ee hours. Of course, there are some technical challenges to overcome. There are so many issues that need to be settled, such as safety and maintenance of railway tracks. So, its important to pay attention to every detail. But the key issue is really money. China is already spending hundreds of billi
38、ons of yuan on longer railway construction. China prefers that the other countries provide natural resources rather than financial investment. Resources from those countries could flood into China to support development. Itll be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will certai
39、nly create more opportunities for business, tourism and so on, not to mention the better communication among those countries. For China, such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop Chinas far west. We predict that i
40、n the coming decades, millions of people will move to the western parts, where the land is empty and resources unused. With high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west. And theyll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.32. According to the passag
41、e, the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is _. A. financial problems B. safety of the system C. technical issues D. maintenance of railway tracks33. Whats the authors attitude towards Chinas high-speed railway plan? A. Positive B. Negative C. Doubtful D. Critical 34. Chinas new h
42、igh-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because_ . A. China and the countries involved will get much-needed resources B. China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways C. China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries D. foreign
43、countries involved will develop their railway transportation, business and tourism35. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. International Railway Network B. High-speed Bullet Trains C. Big Railway Dreams D. New Railway Standards.第三部分:完形填空 (共20小题,每小题1.5分, 满分30分) 阅读下面短文。从短
