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 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 300kms per hour; upgraded lines, which allow for speeds up to 200 to 225kms per hour; and existing tines, for local connections and distribution of freight. If business people can choose between a 3-hour train journey from city center to city center and a 1-hour flight, they’ll choose the train, says an executive travel consultant. They won’t go by plane anymore. If you calculate flight time, cheek 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-km 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 percent of their passengers to high speed trains. If people accept the community of European Railways’ plan, the 21st century will be the new age of the train.
选项
A、Train travel will prove much more comfortable than air travel.
B、Passengers will feel much safer on board a train than on a plane.
C、Rail transport will be environmentally friendlier than air transport.
D、Traveling by train may be as quick as, or even quicker than, by air.
答案
D
解析
Why will business people prefer a 3-hour train journey to a 1-hour flight?
本题问“为什么商人宁愿选择三个小时的火车而不坐只有一个小时的飞机旅行?”文中提到如果他们算上飞行、检票和往返机场的时间,时间上几乎没有差别,再如果因为天气恶劣、交通堵塞或罢工造成飞机晚点,那么乘坐火车的旅客会先一步到达目的地。因此,D项“乘生火丰可能和坐飞机一样快,甚至比飞机还快”正确。
