China now has more than 48,000 kilometres of high-speed lines, with more than 65,000 kilometres in operation worldwide. Here, we track the exciting technological developments in high-speed rail and consider their cultural influence. While the main advantage of the high-speed rail lines is its convenience for people to get from one city to another as quickly as possible, some of these high-speed rail lines have become popular tourist attractions.
A good example of this is the Hefei-Fuzhou high-speed rail line. Technically speaking, this was one of the most challenging high-speed rail routes ever built; nearly 90% of the track was laid either on bridges or in tunnels. However, the amazing views are worth it, as the train goes through some of China's most beautiful mountainous areas, including the Mount Huangshan and the Mount Wuyi.
As China has gained skills and knowledge in high-speed rail, it is trying to extent its technology to other countries. Its first project on the international market was the line connecting Istanbul with Türkiye capital, Ankara, 530 kilometres away. This was followed by projects among other countries. Perhaps its most challenging project is a Trans-Asian network connecting China with European countries. Although it is difficult, China will make every effort to take on this plan. It is hoped to be completed by 2030 as a part of China's Belt and Road Initiative.
Thanks to high-speed rail, the travel time between main cities in China has already been reduced to only a few hours. So this convenience should improve the development within and out of China. It will also bring the people of the country closer together, and in time bring about deep social changes.

答案
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国高铁的发展现状及其对国内外的影响,包括高铁线路的便利性、旅游吸引力以及中国在国际市场上的高铁技术输出。
36. D 数字计算题。根据第一段"China now has more than 48,000 kilometres of high-speed lines,with more than 65,000 kilometres in operation worldwide."可知,中国高铁里程是48000千米,世界总里程是65000千米,所以中国高速占比应是高于70%。故选D。
37. C 推理判断题。根据第一段"some of these high-speed rail lines have become popular tourist attractions"和本段"A good example of this is the Hefei-Fuzhou high-speed rail line."可知,本段谈到合肥至福州高铁,主要是为了解释为什么某些高铁线路会成为受欢迎的旅游胜地。故选C。
38. B 词义猜测题。根据后文语境"its technology to other countries. Its first project on the international market was the line connecting Istanbul with Türkiye's capital,Ankara,530 kilometres away"可知,此处说的是将国内的科技带到国外,所以推测"extend"的意思是"拓展",与spread相近。故选B。
39. B 细节理解题。根据最后一段"Thanks to high-speed rail,the travel time between main cities in China has already been reduced to only a few hours."可知,关于高铁的一个优势是减少了出行时间。故选B。
40. C 文章出处题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了中国高铁的发展现状及其对国内外的影响,文章核心围绕"中国高铁技术及技术对外推广"展开,主题属于科技发展。故选C。
36. D 数字计算题。根据第一段"China now has more than 48,000 kilometres of high-speed lines,with more than 65,000 kilometres in operation worldwide."可知,中国高铁里程是48000千米,世界总里程是65000千米,所以中国高速占比应是高于70%。故选D。

解析
【分析】
这是一篇说明文类阅读理解题，解题时可以按照先读题干明确考点，再带着问题回原文定位线索的思路推进：
1. 第36题是数字计算题，先定位第一段给出的中国高铁里程和全球总运营里程两个数据，做除法计算占比即可得到结果；
2. 第37题是例证作用题，所有举例都是为了支撑前文刚提出的核心观点，找到合福高铁例子前的观点句就能得到答案；
3. 第38题是词义猜测题，结合后文中国承接海外高铁项目的语境，就能推断出划线词的含义；
4. 第39题是细节理解题，直接定位最后一段的对应原句就能匹配选项；
5. 第40题是文章出处题，梳理全文核心主题，判断所属的内容板块即可。
【解析】
36. 定位原文第一段内容：中国高铁运营里程超过48000公里，全球高铁总运营里程超过65000公里，计算占比为48000÷65000≈73.8%，占比超过70%，对应选项D。
37. 第一段末尾提出核心观点“some of these high-speed rail lines have become popular tourist attractions”，第二段开篇直接说明合福高铁是该观点的典型例子，举例目的就是解释部分高铁线路可以成为热门旅游景点，对应选项C。
38. 划线词后提到中国高铁在国际市场承接土耳其等国的高铁项目，说明中国是将高铁技术向外推广、传播到其他国家，此处extend的含义和spread（传播、推广）表意一致，对应选项B。
39. 定位原文最后一段首句“Thanks to high-speed rail, the travel time between main cities in China has already been reduced to only a few hours”，可知文中提到的高铁优势是缩短了出行时间，对应选项B。
40. 全文围绕中国高铁技术的发展、高铁技术对外推广展开，核心主题属于当代科技范畴，最可能出现在杂志的Technology Today板块，对应选项C。
