Uday and Qusay are killed and the delighted British
and American governments suggest that Iraq
will be a safer place. Yes, the Iraqis may well feel safer.
And - with the dictator's brutal sons out of the
way forever more confident about continuing the resistance
against the American occupiers. Shortly before their deaths were announced, Richard
Gephardt, Democrat presidential hopeful, delivered a blistering attack oh
Bush's foreign policy which was driven, he said, by "machismo" and
"arrogant unilateralism". Bush, he continued, had treated U.S. allies "like so many flies on America's windshield".

are bringing the Milestone and Ever Green brands even closer together.
Effective as of December 5, 2005, our official name will be:
GREEN MILES WEST

"West" in our name-replacing "California"-
is the result of an agreement we reached with California Gardening Association,
following a protest over the original use of "California" in our name. We hope this
does not create any confusion among our loyal consumers. While this represents
a change from our initial name introduction, it does not change the quality of
products we offer to our consumers.

B. The loyal consumers created an official
name for the company.

Very Fast Trains
A very fast train is an
electrified train that runs on a dedicated line. A very fast train has an average
speed of more than 250 km/h. It offers an obvious alternative to cars on
crowded motorways and to air travel on crowded air routes. Very fast trains
have been around for a long while. In Japan, the first very fast train,
the so-called bullet train, first ran in 1964. Its route, the Tokaido line, was
from Tokyo to Osaka, a distance of 515 km. It achieved
speeds of up to 300 km/h.
The other national super train,
the TGV (Train a’Grande Vitesse: meaning high-speed train), ran in France for the first time in 1983, on Paris to Lyon route.
Super trains are generally expected to run at an average speed 270km/h. Spain’s super
train, the Ave, has reached a top speed of 500km/h. No wonder very fast trains
have spread throughout Europe, and the bullet train system has been extended in
Japan.
How are very fast trains able to attain such high speed? First of all, they
have an efficient supply of energy through overhead electric lines. They have
aerodynamic design to limit wind resistance at high speeds. Curves and climbs have
been kept to a minimum.
They also travel on lines
especially built for their high speeds – there are no slower,
more conventional trains on super train lines. Very fast
trains are smooth-running and quiet. They have few delays. For examples, the
average time for TGV trains to remain at stations is just a few minutes. That
is, enough time to permit passengers to alight from and board the train. Planes
travel at much faster speed than super trains, yet passengers spend a lot of
time getting to airports, boarding the plane, and then leaving the airport and
traveling to their local destination at the other end. On some routes in Europe it is faster to travel by super train than by
plane.
There are no super trains in Australia
because of our vast distances and very small
population. Elsewhere in the world, super trains travel
between centers of great
population. However, Queensland
does have a tilt train, the next step down from the
super trains. It achieves high speeds because it tilts as
it comes into curves. As a
result, the train does not have to slow down so much.
However, it does not travel on a
specially constructed line.
16. So far as train speed
is concerned, the importance of the image at the beginning of the article is that it shows . . . .
A. what a very fast train looks like
B. how fast a
train is
C. what the
tracks look like
D. how its
aerodynamic design can lessen wind resistance
E. why the train
is so popular
17. The French very fast train is commonly known as the . .
. .
A. bullet train
B. tilt train
C. France train
D. Ave
E. TGV
18. A leading factor that helps enable the speed of very
fast train is . . . .
A. their
popularity among the general public
B. the distance
over which they run
C. the use of
tracks built especially for them
D. their unique
design
E. the short
time in station
19. Regions and countries that are famous for their very
fast train are . . . .
A. The United States and Canada
B. China, including Hong Kong
C. Some
countries of Western Europe (such as France
and Spain ) and Japan.
D. Australia and Africa
E. Europe and Queensland
20. The main reason why Australia does not have a super
train is . . . .
A. the problem of
noise pollution
B. long distance
and lack of many great centers of population
C. they would introduce more competition for
the airlines
D. a lack of interest in fast transport.
E. the train can’t slow down when it comes
into curves
