    　　For years and years people have been saying that the railways are dead．“We can do without railways．” people say as if motorcars(汽车)and planes have made the railways unnecessary．We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, and that they’re dying．But this is far from the truth．In these days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes．If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they’re cheaper than planes．And they have much in common with planes．A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway．What is more, it takes you from the heart of a city into the heart of another．It doesn’t leave you as a plane does, miles and miles from the city centre．It doesn’t hold you up as a car does, in endless traffic jams．And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do．

    　　Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive．Modern railway lines give you a smooth, untroubled journey．Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time?And we are only at the beginning．For we have just entered the age of super-fast, trains traveling at 150 miles an hour and more．Soon we will be wondering why we spend so much on motorways we can’t use because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we can’t fly in for the same reason．

    (1)

    　　Forests are large pieces of land covered with big trees. They are found all over the world, especially in places where there is enough sunshine and much rainfall. Many kinds of materials（材料）come from forests. To build a house, we need wood for doors and windows. Beautiful chairs and tables are also made of wood.

    　　Teak（柚木）wood is very useful for ship-building. It is used for all parts of a ship where wood and metal come in contact（接触）, for it has a kind of oil to keep metal away from rust（铁锈）. It can also stop the attack of white ants and other insects. For this, teak wood is an important railway building material.

    　　Forests are no less important than useful. They are the home of wild animals. Without them, those animals would run among the places where we live and work. There would be no peace for man.

    　　Forests are helpful to weather, too. When it is very hot, they can be a good place for people to stay away from the sun. In winter, they can keep us from the cold. Forests can also stop the land from being washed away by heavy rain for the trees hold the soil together. So it would be foolish to cut down trees freely.

    (1) From the first paragraph（段落）, we know it's NOT true that ________.

    [　　]

    A．forests are everywhere in the world

    B．there must be big trees in a forest

    C．wood is useful in building houses

    D．forests need sunshine and rainfall

    (2) Teak wood is very useful for ship-building because ________.

    [　　]

    A．most ships are made of wood

    B．it can come in contact with metal

    C．it can stop white ants' or other insects' attack

    D．a kind of oil in it can protect metal from rust

    (3) The expression“no less important than useful”in Paragraph 3 means ________.

    [　　]

    A．more important than useful

    B．not so important as useful

    C．as important as useful

    D．neither important nor useful

    (4) The text mainly tells us that_________.

    [　　]

    A．forests are large pieces of land covered with big trees

    B．wood is good material to build ships, railways and some other things

    C．without forests, we have to live together with wild animals

    D．forests are useful to us in many ways
