ants came close to it and took the sugar out from the sand bit by bit. Everyone was
amazed to see how such a small creature removed the sugar from the sand so well.

China now has more than 30, 000 kilometers of high speed track, and this is
expected to increase to 38,000 kilometers by 2025. Fully two thirds of the world's
high speed rail(by length) is in China. Here, we track the exciting technological
developments in high speed rail and consider their cultural influence.
While the main advantage of the high speed rail lines is convenient for people to
get from one city to another as quickly as possible, some of these high speed lines
have become popular tourist attractions(景点). A good example of this is the
Hefei-Fuzhou high speed line. Technically speaking, this was one of the most
challenging high speed rail routes ever built; nearly 90% of the track was laid either
on bridges or in tunnels(隧道). However, the amazing views are worth it, as the train
goes through some of China's most beautiful mountainous areas, including the
Huangshan and the Wuyi Mountain Ranges.
As China has gained skills and knowledge in high speed rail, it is trying to export
(出口) its technology to other countries. Its first project on the international market
was the line connecting
Istanbul with Turkey's capital, Ankara, 530 kilometers away. This was followed
by projects among other countries. Perhaps its most challenging project is a Trans
Asian network connecting China with Europe. Although it is difficult, China will
make every effort to take on this plan. It is hoped to be completed by 2030 as a part of
China's Belt and Road Initiative (中国“一带一路”倡议).
Thanks to high speed rail, the travel time between main cities in China has
already been reduced to only a few hours. So this convenience should improve the
development within and out of China. No doubt, it will also bring the people of the
country closer together, and in time bring about deep social changes.
27.What is the purpose of the example of the Hefei-Fuzhou line in Paragraph 2
A.To prove how fast the high speed lines can be.
B.To stress how convenient the high speed lines are.
C.To show the development of the high speed lines.
D.To explain high speed lines can be tourist attractions.
28.What is the most challenging project that China plans to set up
A.Inventing faster trains.
B.Connecting China with Europe.
C.Designing and building its own trains.
D.Connecting the whole country in 2030.
29.What advantage of the high speed rail is mentioned in the text
A.Improving the peace. B.Reducing the travel time.
C.Making tourism cheaper. D.Avoiding social changes.
30.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A.Racing to the Future B.Great Changes in China
C.Rising China in the World D.High Speed Rail in the World
