In January 1989, the Community of European Railways presented their proposal for a high speed pan-European train network extending from Sweden to Sicily, and from Portugal to Poland by the year 2020. If their proposal becomes a reality, it will revolutionize train travel in Europe. Journeys between major cities will take half the time they take today. Brussels will be only one and a half hours from Paris. The quickest way to get from Paris to Frankfurt, from Barcelona to Madrid will be by train, not plane. When the network is complete, it will integrate three types of railway line: totally new high speed lines with trains operating at speeds of 300 kilometers per hour, upgraded lines which allow for speeds up to 200 to 225 kilometers per hour, and existing lines for local connections and distribution of freight. If business people can choose between a three-hour train journey from city-center to city-center and a one-hour flight, they’ll choose the train, says an executive travel consultant. They won’t go by plane any more. If you calculate flight time, check-in and travel to and from the airport, you’ll find almost no difference. And if your plane arrives late due to bad weather or air traffic jams or strikes, then the train passengers will arrive at their destination first. Since France introduced the first 260-kilometer-per-hour high speed train service between Paris and Lyons in 1981, the trains have achieved higher and higher speeds. On many routes, airlines have lost up to 90% of their passengers to high speed trains. If people accept the Community of European Railways’ plan, the 21 century will be the new age of the train.
Questions 21-25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
21. What is the proposal presented by the Community of European Railways?
22. What will happen when the proposal becomes a reality?
23. Why will business people prefer a three-hour train journey to a one-hour flight?
24. When did France introduce the first high speed train service?
25. Which following statement is wrong according to the speaker?
选项
A、Major European airlines will go bankrupt.
B、Europeans will pay much less for traveling.
C、Traveling time by train between major European cities will be cut by half.
D、Trains will become the safest and most efficient means of travel in Europe.
答案
C
解析
从“lf their proposal becomes a reality,it will revolutionize train travel in Europe.Journeysbetween major cities will take half the time they take today.”可知如果他们的提议成为现实,这会使欧洲铁路运输业发生革命主要城市间的旅行时间可以比现在缩短一半。
