【导语】本文是应用文。介绍了四条风景最优美的火车之旅。

【21题详解】细节理解题。从每段旅程的“Duration”中可知，Route1:XiningtoLhasa需22小时，Route2:LhasatoRikaze需2.5小时，Route3:ChengdutoKunming需6小时，Route4:BeijingtoShanghai需5.5小时。所以Route2:LhasatoRikaze所需的时间是最少的。故选A项。

【22题详解】细节理解题。根据小标题Route3:ChengdutoKunming下的段落中“FromChengdu’splainsarea,withanaltitudeofabout400meters,thetraingoesuptoaltitudesofabout2,000meters,travelingthroughtunnelsandacrossmountains.ThecomplexgeographyalongtherailwaylinegivesthisroutethenameofGeologicalMuseum.(从海拔约400米的成都平原地区出发，列车将上升到海拔约2000米的地方，穿过隧道和山脉。铁路沿线复杂的地理环境使这条线路被称为地质博物馆)”可知，这条铁路线沿线地形复杂，被称为“地质博物馆”。故选C项。

【23题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Thefourmostscenictrainjourneysprovidenotonlybeautifulsceneriesatdestinationcities,butalsocharmingviewsoutsidethetrains’windowsontheway.(这四条风景最优美的火车之旅不仅提供了目的地城市的美景，还提供了沿途车窗外迷人的景色)”可知，旅客们在这四条铁路线上都可以欣赏到窗外美丽的风景。故选D项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了英国流行的在自家的花园棚屋办公的现象。

【24题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中的“AcrossthegardensofBritain,peoplearebuildingsheds(工棚).Peoplehavegonecrazyaboutsheds.TheTimberTradeFederationreportsthatinOctober,thelastmonthforwhichstatisticswereavailable,importsofsoftwoodwere34%higherthanayearearlier.(在英国的花园中，人们正在建造棚屋。人们为棚屋而疯狂。木材贸易联合会(TheTimberTradeFederation)报告称，10月份，也就是可获得统计数据的最后一个月，软木进口量比去年同期增长了34%)”可知，英国人“疯狂地”在花园里搭建棚屋，选B。

【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Besidesgrowingflowers,theshedsnowbeingbuiltarealsooftenintendedforwork.However,theyaregranderthantheonesthosepioneershed-writersused.GreenRetreats,whichmostlybuildsgardenoffices,saysthatoverallsalesonbuildingshedsgrewby113%between2023and2023.Largerandfancierstructuresareespeciallypopular.(除了种植花卉，现在正在建造的棚屋也经常用于工作。然而，它们比那些先驱棚户作家使用的更宏伟。主要建造花园办公室的GreenRetreats表示，在2023年至2023年期间，建造棚屋的总销售额增长了113%。更大、更华丽的建筑尤其受欢迎)”可知，选C。

【
