Across the English Channel
To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours. It’s a hard work and it makes you short of breath. To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes (as only as you’re not held up at the airport), but it’s an expensive way to travel. You can travel by hovercraft if you don’t mind the noise, and that takes forty minutes. Otherwise you can go by boat, if you dreams of being able to drive to France in his own car. "Not possible", you say. Well, wait a minute. People are once a gain considering the idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge.
This time, the Greater London Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel link straight to London. A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge, whereas a tunnel would provide a rail ]ink only.
Why is this idea being discussed again? Is Britain becoming more conscious of the need for links with Europe as a result of joining the EEC(欧共体) ? Well, perhaps. The main reason, though, is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of London’s disused dock land(船坞地). A link from London to the continent would stimulate trade and re-vitalize(使……重新具有活力) the port, and would make London a main trading center in Europe. With a link over the Channel, you could buy your fish and chips in England and be able to eat them in France while they were stiff warm!
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
选项
A、Swimming across the Channel takes less than four hours.
B、The idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge is a very new one.
C、It is considered to be more difficult to swim across the channel than any other means.
D、A tunnel or bridge would only reach as far as the coast.
答案
C
解析
第一段介绍“游泳穿越英吉利海峡至少需要九小时”,所以A是错误的。第一段结尾提到“人们正在重新考虑建造海底隧道或海底桥”,说明建海底隧道的想法不是新的,所以B是错的。比较各种穿越海峡的方式所花费的时间,可以得出游泳穿越海峡是最困难的,所以C是对的。第三段提到“隧道或者桥将通往伦敦二十平方公里废弃的船坞地”,并不只是到达海岸,所以D是错的。
