①China is famous for having the best high-speed train network in the world. Now, a new train called CR450 is breaking speed records!
②CR450 can go very fast, with an average(平均的) speed of 400 km/h and a top speed of 453 km/h. Before this, the fastest high-speed train in a rail network in the world is China’s CR400, which runs at 350 km/h on average.
Once put into use, for example, the CR450 will shorten the travel time from Beijing to Shanghai to just about two and a half hours, which takes at least four and a half hours at the moment.
③“The key is not to make the train run fast but to have it brake ( 刹车) accurately and steadily( 平稳
地)，”Zhao Hongwei of the China Academy of Railway Sciences told CCTV News. It travels a lot faster, but the standard is that the CR450 should have the same brake distance( 距 离 ) as the CR400, which is 6,500 meters. It can also start braking more quickly, taking just 1.7 seconds compared to the 2.3 seconds needed for the CR400.
④Engineers tested the brakes a lot to make sure they work well. In the tests, the brake disc (制动盘) got really hot, reaching temperatures of up to 700 C. Its color changed from black to red. The changes were then recorded. All the data were saved in a smart system to make a digital model of the brake system.
⑤Besides having a faster speed and better braking system, CR450 is also lighter and uses less energy than CR400, according to CCTV News. This means that the CR450 uses less fuel or power to run, which is good for the environment because it reduces pollution. And a lighter train also needs less energy to move, so it can travel farther on the same amount of fuel.
⑥With all these advantages, people are very excited to see this new train and experience its speed and comfort. China’s high-speed train network is truly impressive, and the CR450 is just another example of its greatness!
How much faster the CR450 is on average compared to the CR400
A. 50 km/h. B. 350 km/h. C. 400 km/h. D. 453 km/h.
What is the key to CR450 According to Zhao Hongwei
A. Making it run much faster. B. Having a better braking system.
C. Using less and greener energy. D. Having comfortable environment.
Which will be most affected(影响) by the development of the CR450 train from the passage
A. The job market for train drivers. B. China’s efforts in environmental protection.
C. The need for high-powered network. D. The popularity of other kinds of transportation.
Which is the structure of the passage
A B C D
D
Little Samantha Peszek LOVED gymnastics(体操), more than toys, even more than ice cream.
When she was just five years old, she watched the Olympics for the first time with her parents. Of course, her favorite part was the gymnastics competition. It was right

“Dream BIG, Samantha! If you have a strong will , you can achieve ANYTHING .” her parents added.
▲ In order not to forget her big plan to be the very best, she even had her mum help her hang the word DREAM up in her room. Samantha trained very hard and soon found she was great at all of the events except the balance beam(平衡木).
“I couldn’t do it, mum!”
“My dear, you have to have the bad days to enjoy the good e on!”
Again, Samantha found the courage to keep fighting. That meant it was time to continue to try at that terrible balance beam. With her coach’s help and her parents’ support, Samantha felt unbeatable.
Four years later, when it was time to get her big chance as an Olympian, Samantha made a couple of mistakes.
“I’m so mad I didn’t win.” Samantha cried.

She was ready to be the very best, and tried her best to practice hard. However, something terrible happened.
Samantha hurt her ankle(脚踝) before the competition!
And then she remembered her parents’ words.
I have to have the bad days to enjoy the good days. I’m not loved because I win. I’m loved because I’m me.
Maybe the very best me today means supporting my teammates.

I’m Jimmy Brown, a student in Sunshine Middle school. Last month, my dad and mum went on a business trip to Beijing together. I had to stay at home for seven days. Every day, after finishing my homework, I read a novel instead of reading English books as my parents expected. At first, it seemed exciting because I could do everything I wanted. But the happy times did not last long. On the fifth evening, while I was doing my homework, the lights in my house went out suddenly. I was really afraid, I went downstairs and found the whole electric system had broken down. At first, I wanted to call my parents in Beijing. But later, I thought I was not a child any more and should learn to deal with the problems myself. So I phoned the electric company and they told me the system will be repaired in an hour. Luckily, my neighbour found the problem and invited me to come to his home and waited for the electricity. Thanks to his help, I didn’t need to stay at home alone without electricity. When my parents came back, I told them everything that had happened in that week and showed them how brave I was for being alone at home. They were really proud of me for my independence.
