Question

    According to the speed, Chinese trains are divided into different classes, identified(确认) with different letters and numbers. The letters refer to different classes.

G—High-Speed Electric Multiple Units(EMU) Train

This is the fastest EMU train running for long distance in China, the top speed of which could reach 350km/h. Currently, the G-train could finish the 1068-kilometer Wuhan-Guangzhou High-Speed Railway in 3 hours.

C—Intercity EMU Train

This is also the fastest EMU train in China, but runs for short travel distance between two nearby cities, such as the 120-kilometer Beijing-Tianjin Intercity Railway.

D—Electric Multiple Units(EMU) Train

This trains are also called Hexiehao or bullet train in China. The designed top speed is 250km/h. These trains have been widely used for main city, such as Beijing-Shanghai, Shanghai-Suzhou and Shenzhen-Guangzhou.

E—Direct Express Train

The type with the top speed of 100km/h is for long-distance travel. Generally, they run directly to the destination(目的地) or with some stops on the way. And some has only soft-sleeper and soft-seat.

T—Express Train

This kind has fewer stops on the way, mainly in major cities. The highest speed is 140 km/h. Almost every T-series of trains is equipped(装备) with soft-sleeper, soft-seat, hard-sleeper and hard-seat.

K—Fast Train

Its speed is 120 km/h, having more stops than the T-trains. They have air conditioning.

Accommodation(座位；铺位) Fast Train

Its highest speed is 120 km/h but runs slower than the K-train because of more stops on the way. Currently, a few of Accommodation Fast Trains don't have air conditioning.

Accommodation Train

With 100 km/h's highest speed, this should be the slowest train, having as many stops as possible, the trains are also numbered with four digits. Most of the trains don't have air conditioning at all.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文，在中国，火车因为速度不同而被分为不同的种类，文章介绍了中国的各种火车。

1.

细节理解题。根据第二段“G—High-Speed Electric Multiple Units(EMU) Train This is the fastest EMU train running for long distance in China”可知在中国远程的话，高铁G是最快的，故选B。

2.

推理判断题。根据第二段“the top speed of which could reach 350km/h”，第三段“C—Intercity EMU Train This is also the fastest EMU train in China”以及第四段“The designed top speed is 250km/h”可知时速超过或达到250km/h的有三种列车，是高铁。城际列车和动车。故选A。

3.

推理判断题。根据“E—Direct Express Train The type with the top speed of 100km/h is for long-distance travel. They run directly to the destination(目的地) or with some stops on the way”可知直达火车的时速是100 km/h，直达目的地或中途有一些停顿。由此推断从广元到成都，大约290公里的路程，要超过三个小时才能到达。故选B。

4.

细节理解题。根据“T—Express Train This kind has fewer stops on the way, mainly in major cities”以及“K—Fast Train Its speed is 120 km/h, having more stops than the T-trains”快车比普快跑得快一些是因为快车的中途停车比普快要少。故选C。

5.

推理判断题。根据“C—Intercity EMU Train This is also the fastest EMU train in China, but runs for short travel distance between two nearby cities”以及“The designed top speed is 250km/h. These trains have been widely used for main city, such as Beijing-Shanghai, Shanghai-Suzhou and Shenzhen-Guangzhou”可知从深圳到广州坐城际列车或动车花的时间更少，A选项表述正确。根据“Currently, a few of Accommodation Fast Trains don't have air conditioning”可知B选项表述错误。根据“Almost every T-series of trains is equipped(装备)with soft-sleeper, soft-seat, hard-sleeper and hard-seat”可知C选项表述错误。故选A。
