Across the English Channel

To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours.It&#39;s a hard work and it makes you short of breath.To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes(as only as you&#39;re not held up at the airport),but it&#39;s an expensive way to travel.You can travel by hovercraft if you don&#39;t mind the noise,and that takes forty minutes.Otherwise you can go by boat,if you dreams of being able to drive to France in your own car.&quot;Not possible&quot;,you say.Well wait a minute.People are once again considering the idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge.
This time,the Greater London Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel link straight to London.A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge,whereas a tunnel would provide a rail link only.
Why is this idea being discussed again?Is Britain becoming more conscious of the need for links with Europe as a result of joining the EEC（欧共体）?Well, perhaps. The main reason, though,is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of London&#39;s disused dockland（船坞地）.A link from London to the continent would stimulate trade and re-vitalize（使&middot;&middot;&middot;&middot;&middot;&middot;重新具有活力）the port, and would make London a main trading center in Europe. With a link over the Channel,you could buy your fish and chips in England and be able to eat them in France while they are still warm!</p>Which of the following statements is true?A:Swimming across the Channel takes less than four hours.B:The idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge is a very new one.C:It is considered to be more difficult to swim across the channel than any other means.D:A tunnel or bridge would only reach as far as the coast.
选项 Which of the following statements is true?
A:Swimming across the Channel takes less than four hours.
B:The idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge is a very new one.
C:It is considered to be more difficult to swim across the channel than any other means.
D:A tunnel or bridge would only reach as far as the coast.
答案 C
解析 第二段提到“建桥的成本比建隧道高得多”，所以选A。
第二段提到“隧道却只能行驶火车”，所以选C。
第三段提到“伦敦20平方公里废弃的船坞地”，所以选A。
第三段提到“伦敦与欧洲大陆的连接将刺激贸易，使港口恢复生机，使伦敦成为欧洲重要的贸易中心”，即使伦敦更加繁荣。所以选D。
第一段介绍“游泳穿越英吉利海峡至少需要9小时”，所以A项是错误的。第一段结尾提到“人们正在重新考虑建造海底隧道或海底桥”，说明建造海底隧道的想法不是新的，所以B项是错的。比较各种穿越海峡的方式所花费的时间，可以得出游泳穿越海峡是最困难的，所以C项是对的。第三段提到“隧道或者桥将通往伦敦20平方公里废弃的船坞地”，并不只是到达海岸，所以D项是错的
