【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文给我们介绍的是我们中国的和谐号高速列车，为了解决乘坐火车难的问题，在2008年，中国出现了和谐号高速列车，它的速度非常快，可以满足一部分人的需求。但是大多数人还是认为和谐号列车并不能解决所有的交通问题。

1.C 细节理解题。根据短文第二段中The first CRH train from Beijing to Tianjin runs in August, 2008.第一列和谐号列车是2008年8月，从北京到天津。故应该选C。

2.D 细节理解题。根据短文第三段中China starts to make a CRH train, 350 kilometres an hour from Beijing to Shanghai.可知，从北京到上海的和谐号列车，车速是一小时350公里。故选D。

3.B词义猜测题。根据文意和划线单词所在的句子是上下文可知，从北京到上海的和谐号列车，每小时350公里，这样要比乘坐普通的列车要节省很多时间。save 节省。故选B。

4.D推理判断题。根据CRH1 and CRH2 can go up to 200 km/h, and CRH3 can run 300 km/h . Taking CRH trains is more expensive than taking a traditional train,可知，乘坐和谐号列车比较昂贵，但是速度快。故D是正确的。根据their workers are good,可知A不对；根据but cheaper than taking a plane可知B不对；根据CRH1 and CRH2 can go up to 200 km/h, and CRH3 can run 300 km/h可知C不对。

5. 细节理解题。根据短文的最后Can CRH trains solve the problems? “Of course not. There is still a long way to go,”可知，80%的人们都认为和谐号列车并不能解决所有的问题，故选C。
