It can travel much faster than a car or a normal train. Many countries have built high speed rail lines to help people move between cities quickly.<\/p>\n<p>In Taiwan, the high speed rail goes from Taipei to Kaohsiung. The trip takes about 90 minutes. Without the train, the same <strong>journey<\/strong> by car takes more than four hours. People love the train because it saves time.<\/p>\n<p>The train has many comfortable seats. Passengers can read, sleep, or look out the <strong>window<\/strong> at the green fields and tall mountains. Some trains have a small shop that sells snacks and drinks.<\/p>\n<p>The high speed rail is also very safe. The trains run on special <strong>tracks<\/strong> that are smooth and straight. Workers check the trains every day to make sure everything works well. Drivers must follow strict rules.<\/p>\n<p>Many people use the high speed rail to go to work, visit family, or take a holiday. It is good for the environment because it uses less fuel than cars or planes. The high speed rail is a <strong>\u73fe\u4ee3\u7684<\/strong> way to travel, and more cities around the world want one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>A. \u8a5e\u5f59<\/h2>\n<div style=\"display:flex;gap:24px;margin-bottom:18px;\">\n<ol style=\"flex:0 0 35%;list-style:decimal inside;line-height:1.9;\">\n<li>fast ____<\/li>\n<li>journey ____<\/li>\n<li>window ____<\/li>\n<li>tracks ____<\/li>\n<li>modern ____<\/li>\n<li>passengers ____<\/li>\n<li>comfortable ____<\/li>\n<li>environment ____<\/li>\n<li>snacks ____<\/li>\n<li>safe ____<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul style=\"flex:1;list-style:none;padding:0;line-height:1.9;\">\n<li>a. opening in a wall or vehicle with glass<\/li>\n<li>b. new and using the latest ideas or technology<\/li>\n<li>c. natural world of land, water, air, and living things<\/li>\n<li>d. moving at high speed<\/li>\n<li>e. trip from one place to another<\/li>\n<li>f. feeling relaxed and pleasant to use<\/li>\n<li>g. people who travel in a vehicle but do not drive it<\/li>\n<li>h. small amounts of food eaten between meals<\/li>\n<li>i. metal rails that trains run on<\/li>\n<li>j. not in danger of being hurt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<figure style=\"margin:32px 0 24px;border-radius:8px;overflow:hidden;line-height:0;\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.unsplash.com\/photo-1701221602494-699948f33250?crop=entropy&#038;cs=tinysrgb&#038;fit=max&#038;fm=jpg&#038;ixid=M3w4NzQ5MjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwyfHxUYWl3YW4lMjBoaWdoJTIwc3BlZWQlMjByYWlsJTIwdHJhaW58ZW58MHwwfHx8MTc4MTE5NzIzNHww&#038;ixlib=rb-4.1.0&#038;q=80&#038;w=1080\" alt=\"The High Speed Rail worksheet\" style=\"width:100%;height:300px;object-fit:cover;display:block;\"><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<h2>B. \u5c0d\u6216\u932f<\/h2>\n<ol style=\"line-height:1.9;\">\n<li>____ &nbsp; The high speed rail is slower than a car.<\/li>\n<li>____ &nbsp; Taiwan&#8217;s high speed rail goes from Taipei to Kaohsiung.<\/li>\n<li>____ &nbsp; The trip from Taipei to Kaohsiung takes about 90 minutes on the train.<\/li>\n<li>____ &nbsp; The same journey by car takes only one hour.<\/li>\n<li>____ &nbsp; The seats on the train are uncomfortable.<\/li>\n<li>____ &nbsp; Some trains have a small shop that sells snacks and drinks.<\/li>\n<li>____ &nbsp; Workers check the trains every week.<\/li>\n<li>____ &nbsp; The high speed rail uses more fuel than cars or planes.<\/li>\n<li>____ &nbsp; People use the train to go to work or visit family.<\/li>\n<li>____ &nbsp; More cities around the world want a high speed rail.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>C. \u586b\u7a7a<\/h2>\n<div style=\"background:#f0f0f0;padding:10px 14px;margin-bottom:14px;font-size:14px;\">\n<strong>\u8a5e\u5eab\uff1a<\/strong> fast, journey, window, tracks, modern, passengers, comfortable, safe\n<\/div>\n<ol style=\"line-height:1.9;\">\n<li>The high speed rail is a very ___ train that can go faster than a car.<\/li>\n<li>The ___ from Taipei to Kaohsiung takes about 90 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>People can look out the ___ at the green fields and tall mountains.<\/li>\n<li>The trains run on special ___ that are smooth and straight.<\/li>\n<li>The high speed rail is a ___ way to travel.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>D. \u7406\u89e3\u6027\u554f\u984c<\/h2>\n<ol style=\"line-height:1.9;\">\n<li>How long does the high speed rail trip from Taipei to Kaohsiung take?<\/li>\n<li>What can passengers do while they ride the train?<\/li>\n<li>Why is the high speed rail good for the environment?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>E. \u8a0e\u8ad6\u554f\u984c<\/h2>\n<ol style=\"line-height:1.9;\">\n<li>Would you like to travel on a high speed rail?
