(2019·湖州适应性考试)It used to be one of the world’s most splendid train stations，sitting on the French-Spanish border—but then it fell into disrepair.Now，writes Chris Bockman，the building is showing new signs of life.

The train station was built in iron and glass，complete with a hospital，a restaurant and living quarters for customs officers from both France and Spain.At the time it was nicknamed the “Titanic of the Mountains”．

But after the day the station was opened in 1928 by the French president and the Spanish king，flaws quickly became obvious.The rail gauges(轨距) were different，so passengers still had to change trains.It made transporting goods too slow.In the early 1930s，as few as 50 passengers a day were using the station.And then things got worse.During the Spanish Civil War，the tunnels on the Spanish side were sealed off to prevent Republican rebels(反叛者) from bringing weapons in.Later，the French lost interest in the line.When a train derailed on the French side in 1970，that signaled that France abandoned the line.

The grand building itself went to rot.The tracks rusted，the ceilings fell in with the severe winter weather and vandalism(故意破坏财物的行为) did the rest.

But a few years ago the local government in Aragon decided to buy the place and restore it，claiming it was a major part of Spanish history.The French government has agreed to reopen the line on its side too.If all goes to plan，the “Titanic of the Mountains” could be back in business within five years before the end of 2022.It is reported that the massive wooden ticket counters at the station have already been restored.

1．The following factors contributed to the shutdown of the train station EXCEPT ________．

A．its poor appearance B．different gauges C．the Spanish Civil War D．slow transporting speed

2．What will probably happen to the train station? A．It will be repaired.

D．The “Titanic of the Mountains” Coming Back

Being stuck behind crowds of slow walkers when you’re in a hurry is one of the most annoying things. But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UK’s largest shopping malls, has

introduced its very own fast lane for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.

The Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex has introduced a 720-foot “fast lane” reserved for fast walkers only, just in time for the festive rush. The centre’s management team said，“ The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don’t want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.”

The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping. The research also found that the average walking speed slowed down by 21 percent during the festive shopping period, as most shoppers spent more time window shopping during this period.

Gary Mortimer, an expert from the Queensland University of Technology, said he wasn’t surprised by the promotion about the launch of the fast lane, and thought the concept would appeal to shoppers all over the world. “Crowded parking lots and busy shopping centres tend to be two of the biggest complaints of shoppers over the festive season，” he said.“I think the fast lanes are a new approach. However, I suspect it will be a bit like fast lanes on the highway, so it might end up being more trouble than its worth.”

The MasterCard survey also identified the four most common types of shoppers. They include “Skaters” who try and make their way through crowds politely，“Dodgers” who move down the paths to avoid slow walkers, “Bulldozers” who push their way through crowds, and “Tutters” who express their frustrations to slow walkers.

4．The fast lane is intended for the shoppers who ________． A．can’t move quickly because of physical disabilities B．buy things on their shopping lists quickly C．take their time to do window shopping D．want to leave the mall quickly

5．What is Gary Mortimer’s attitude to the fast lane? A．Supportive. C．Critical.

B．Indifferent. D．Objective.

6．Who may patiently move behind a slow crowd? A．Skaters. C．Bulldozers.

7．What is the main idea of the text? A．Shopping can be annoying sometimes. B．How to avoid slow walkers when shopping.

C．The problems that shopping centres face during busy holidays. D．The shopping mall creates the fast lane to avoid slow walkers. Ⅱ.完形填空
