题型：广东省中考真题难度：来源：
It is said that as the population of a city grows, so do its problems. Pollution, too many cars, and crowded
streets are just a few of these difficulties. One way to help with these problems is city trains. Trains traveling
to different parts of a city mean fewer cars and buses on our roads, cleaner air, and more open streets. In
recent years, cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Shanghai have all built city train lines.
The first city train line in China was built in Beijing. The oldest part of the train line, from Beijing Zhan to
Ping Guo Yuan was opened in 1969. Its length was 23.6 kilometres. As the city grew after 1980, so did the
need for more trains. A newer train line was built to help move people around the city centre. The 16-kilometre-
long "circle (环形) line" was finished in 1987. Since that time even more train stations have been built and today
the train lines in the city are over 50 kilometres long.
For the 2008 Olympic Games, the trains of Beijing will be very important. It is thought that most of the
people who go to watch the different sports during the Games will travel using trains.
B. city trains
C. the history of Beijing
D. 2008 Olympic Games
B. About 23 kms.
C. About 33 kms.
D. About 50 kms.
B. An Ding Men.
C. Che Gong Zhuang.
D. He Ping Men.
B. The larger population a city has, the fewer problems it faces.
C. More and more cities are building undergrounds for the 2008 Olympic Games.
D. There are 20 stations on the "circle line" in Beijing.

| Dear Sir or Madam, Last Thursday, I traveled on the 8:00 a.m. train from Glasgow to London King"s Cross and I was quite angry with the service of your company. The train didn"t come on time and it was forty minutes late when it left Glasgow. A man at the station said sorry to us, but he didn"t give us any reasons for the delay(误点).
