Obama: US Moving Toward High-Speed Railways
[Washington, 16 April 2009] President Barack Obama wants the United States to join other industrialized countries in having an extensive high-speed rail system. The president has announced his plan to accelerate the development of high-speed rail in the U.S.
President Obama says high-speed rail could do for America what it is already doing for other countries, including China and Spain. "A high-speed line between Madrid and Seville is so successful that more people travel between those cities by rail than by car and airplane combined. China, where service began just two years ago, may have more miles of high-speed rail service than any other country just five years from now," he said.
High-speed rail only serves America's Northeast corridor, between Washington, D.C. and Boston, Massachusetts. But plans are under way to extend the rapid movement to other areas of the country.
Before leaving for Latin America, Mr. Obama outlined his two-part strategy for accelerating those plans. "Improving our existing rail lines, to make current train service faster, but also identifying potential corridors for the creation of world-class high-speed rail," he said.
Congress included $8 billion for rail development in the economic stimulus (刺激) legislation it passed in February. Mr. Obama is including another $5 billion for high-speed rail in his federal budget. High-speed rail has had mixed political support in the past. But President Obama says it could strengthen the US. economy, in addition to improving the country's transportation system. He says the United States should not be left behind while other nations are moving ahead with high-speed rail.
"So it is being done. It is just not being done here. There is no reason why we cannot do this. This is America. There is no reason why the future of travel should lie somewhere else, beyond our borders,” he said.
The president was joined at the announcement by Vice President Joe Biden, who, in 35 years as a U.S. Senator, is estimated to have taken almost 8,000 rail trips between Washington and his home in Willington, Delaware.
64. In Spain, more people would ______ if they traveled from Madrid to Seville.
A. take the rail B. drive their cars C. go by air D. ride their bikes
65. Which of the following is true to the passage?
A. High-speed rail is doing a lot for America.
B. High-speed rail is already doing much for Spain.
C. Now China has many more miles of high-speed rail service than any other country.
D. President Obama wants to change the situation that America has no high-speed rail service.
66. Obama's plans of extensive high-speed rail system include the following except ______.
A. improving America's existing rail line
B. creating its high-speed rail system of world class
C. making its current train service faster
D. strengthening America's economy
67. When Obama announced this plan, Vice President Joe Biden ______.
A. had taken his trip back home in Wilmington, Delaware
B. was leaving for Latin America
C. was on holiday in Boston, Massachusetts
D. was right present in Washington

Man on moon. Now, woman on Mars?
Life on Mars?
Images have emerged(出现)showing a mystery figure rested on a rock on Mars.
The photo of what looks remarkably like a female figure with her arm outstretched was among several taken on the red planet and sent back to Earth by NASA's Mars explorer Spirit, Britain's Daily Mail reported yesterday.
Though no official confirmation has come from NASA on whether the figure is an alien or an optical illusion(视错觉)caused by landscape on Mars, it has set the Internet abuzz(嘁嘁喳喳的)that there really is life on Mars.
As one enthusiast put it on the newspaper's website: "These pictures are amazing. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what appears to be a naked alien running around on Mars."
Another wrote: "If you show me another rock in another photo from Mars, or Earth, that naturally looks like that, I will reconsider."
A third contributor, who might have come closer to the majority view, said: "Ah, the human eye can be tricked so easily."
The news of the mystery woman on Mars came just days after a team of French scientists claimed to have discovered proof that Mars has high dense clouds of dry ice, which scud(疾行,疾飞)across its orange sky, Indian newspaper Hindustan Times reported.
Using data obtained by the OMEGA spectrometer(分光仪)on board European Space Agency's Mars Express, the team found the existence of ice clouds which sometimes become so dense that they throw quite dark shadows on the dusty surface of the planet.
"This is the first time that carbon dioxide ice clouds on Mars have been imaged and identified from above. This is important because the images tell us not only about their shape, but also their size and density," lead scientist Franck Montmessin of the Service d'Aeronomie at University of Versailles was quoted as saying. (from China Daily)
72. The images of clouds of dry ice on Mars are important because they can tell us ________.
A. their shape B. their density C. their size D. all of the above
73. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Netizens all think the picture is an alien.
B. Noboday can tell what the image is definitely.
C. NASA has confirmed it is a female figure.
D. Netizens believe there is life on Mars.
74. Which of the following best explains the meaning of the underlined word in Para. 3?
A. Supporting or establishing the certainty of.
B. Written or printed paper that bears the official, or legal form of something.
C. Statement or an argument used in such a paper.
D. A thing or things helpful in forming a conclusion or judgment.
75. We can infer from the passage that ___________.
A. most people refuse to admit the image is an alien
B. the photo mentioned above was taken by European Space Agency's Mars Express
C. a team of French scientists were the earliest to discover the mystery woman on Mars
D. Indian newspaper was the earliest to report the amazing picture
