COME TO WIN PRIZES THAT
MONEY CANNOT BUY
If you love trains, railways or enjoy designing things, have a try at one of these great competitions. The competitions are for the 200-year anniversary（周年纪念日）of the first passenger journey on the Stockton and Darlington Railway. This journey, in 1825, is regarded as the birth of the modern railway.
London North Eastern Railway (LNER) and the National Railway Museum are asking young people to share their wonderful ideas of what the next 200 years of rails would look like. There are some fantastic prizes to be won that you cannot get anywhere else, including a ride in the driver’s cab（驾驶室）of a high-speed train.
Design a uniform of the future
For those aged 11 and under
Design a uniform for someone who works on the railway. For example, this could be for a train manager, a driver, etc.
Winner’s prize: A real-life uniform of your winning design made by LNER’s uniform supplier（供应商）, and first-class LNER tickets for you and your family.
Design a train of the future
For ages 12 to 17
This is your chance to design a train for the future. But what makes a great train? The first thing to consider is the outside. Will the train be stylish?

答案
【解题导语】本文主要介绍了为庆祝现代铁路诞生200周年,LNER与国家铁路博物馆联合举办两项面向未成年人的设计大赛,参赛者有机会赢取独一无二的奖品。
1 A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The competitions are for the 200-year anniversary（周年纪念日）of the first passenger journey on the Stockton and Darlington Railway. This journey, in 1825, is regarded as the birth of the modern railway”可知,比赛是为了纪念斯托克顿和达灵顿铁路首次客运旅行200周年,这次旅行被认为是现代铁路的诞生。故选A。
2 A 推理判断题。根据“Design a uniform of the future”对应的“For those aged 11 and under”以及“Design a uniform for someone who works on the railway. For example, this could be for a train manager, a driver, etc”可知,参赛者是11岁及以下的儿童,要求设计一件供铁路工作人员（如火车经理、司机等）穿着的制服。由此可推测出,10岁的对做衣服感兴趣的玛丽最有可能赢得制服设计比赛。故选A。
3 C 图文转换题。根据“The first thing to consider is the outside. Will the train be stylish? Don't forget that the inside of the train is important, too. Where will people sit, store their luggage（行李）, go to the toilet, charge（充电）their phones, and where will they get their food and drink?”可知,列车设计需考虑外观及内部座椅、行李存放、卫生间、手机充电、餐饮供应等,即①③④。故选C。
4 D 细节理解题。根据“Winner’s prize: A real-life uniform of your winning design made by LNER’s uniform supplier（供应商）, and first-class LNER tickets for you and your family”以及“Winner’s prize: A train ride, a driver simulator（模拟器）experience, and first-class LNER tickets for you and your family”可知,两项比赛的奖品均包含获胜者全家的免费火车票。故选D。
5 D 文章出处题。本文主要介绍了为纪念斯托克顿和达灵顿铁路首次客运旅行200周年而举办的两项设计竞赛,由此可推知这是一个广告。故选D。
