Question

Don’t want to miss the train? Here are some steps to follow!

★Enter the railway station. There are X-ray machines at the gate of each railway station. All the luggage（行李）has to be passed through to examine for dangerous things. Once you put your luggage on the machine, please go to the other side and get it quickly in case that your luggage is taken either by mistake or on purpose.

★Find the right waiting room. After you enter the railway station, you should find the hall where your train is going to leave from. There are always electronic boards at the railway station with information shown in Chinese. You can find your waiting room according to the information given on your train ticket, or you can ask a member of staff（工作人员）for help if you are in trouble with Chinese.

★Get onto the platform（月台）. In most cases, check-in starts 30 minutes before the train leaves if it is the starting station. So you are advised to arrive at the station one hour early. If it is not a starting station, check-in starts when the train arrives, then you just need to be 30 minutes early. You will be informed by radio then. Remember to take all your luggage!

★Board the train. The train number and the carriage（车厢）number are shown outside the train clearly；So it is easy to find your carriage. There is a member of staff at the door of each carriage to whom you are required to show your ticket. If you board on the wrong carriage, he/she will guide you to the right one.

【解析】

本文主要给出了4点不错过火车的建议和方法。

1.细节理解题。根据第1大段“There are X-ray machines at the gate of each railway station. All the luggage（行李）has to be passed through to examine for dangerous things.”每个火车站门口都有X射线机器，所有的行李都要通过这个检查。可知，故选B。

2.细节理解题。根据第2大段“You can find your waiting room according to the information given on your train ticket,”你可以根据你火车票上的信息找到候车间。可知，是候车厢。故选A。

3.细节理解题。根据第3大段“If it is not a starting station, check-in starts when the train arrives, then you just need to be 30 minutes early.”如果不是起点站，那么你只需要提前30分钟。可知，故选C。

4.细节理解题。根据第4大段“There is a member of staff at the door of each carriage to whom you are required to show your ticket. If you board on the wrong carriage, he/she will guide you to the right one.”每节车厢门口都有一名工作人员，你必须向他出示车票。如果你上错了车，他/她会指引你到正确的方向。可知，工作人员是验票并且给你指示正确方向的。故选B。

5.推理判断题。根据第2大段“After you enter the railway station, you should find the hall where your train is going to leave from.”你进入火车站后，你应该要找到你的火车要离开的地方。可知，并不是所有的火车从同一个大厅离开，故A错误；根据第4大段“If you board on the wrong carriage, he/she will guide you to the right one.” 如果你上错了车，他/她会指引你到正确的方向。可知，并不是下车，故B错误；根据第1大段“Once you put your luggage on the machine, please go to the other side and get it quickly in case that your luggage is taken either by mistake or on purpose.”一旦您把行李放在机器上，请到机器的另一边迅速取走，以免您的行李被误拿或故意拿走。可知，当检查行李的时候有可能行李会被别人拿走，故C正确；根据第4大段“The train number and the carriage（车厢）number are shown outside the train clearly；So it is easy to find your carriage.”因为车厢的号码清楚地展示在火车外，所以你可以容易地找到你的车厢。可知，并不是因为车厢的颜色不同，故D错误。故选C。
