9．The first-ever direct China-to-Britain freight train（貨運列車）arrived in London last week．It was the （61）latest（late）evidence of China's efforts to redevelop the"Silk Road"trade routes that once stretched from Asia to Europe．
（62）Having travelled （travel）from China through Kazakhstan，Russia，Belarus，Poland，Germany，Belgium and France for 18days，the train finally arrived in London．Inside the 68containers  （63）were （be）household goods，clothing，cloth，bags and suitcases．"This is （64）twice （two）as quick as sea and it's much，much cleaner and cheaper than air freight，"said Philippa Edmunds，（65）who works at the British Campaign for Better Transport．
But the train itself may be more important than the goods （66）it was carrying．Observers say the trip had a political message that China is developing new trade routes and new markets．China needs to find more places（67）to sell（sell）the goods it makes．That is the （68）belief（believe）of Jie Yu from the London School of Economics．"The domestic market in China now seems not to be very promising，so the Chinese are （69）desperately （desperate）looking for the new markets．And obviously that freight train serves （70）asa very good vehicle for the Chinese manufacturers and may help restore the business confidence inside China．"

7．A handshake is one of the most common ways to greet others，but US President Donald Trump's unusual method has been put under the microscope lately．
Much like an armwrestler in a match，the recently-elected leader has a habit of yanking （猛拉） people's hands toward himself during handshakes．And while a typical handshake is only brief，the one between him and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Feb 10 lasted a full 19 seconds．
Simply having a strong hand is not the explanation here．According to Darren Stanton，a body language expert from the UK，while handshakes are usually an exchange of kindness，Trump uses his as a way to show power and control，regardless of how uncomfortable it makes people．"It is as if to say，‘Hey，I'm in charge，don't mess with me，'"Stanton told The Independent．
Apart from Trump's"yank-shake"，there are other ways people display power with their hands．At business talks or political meetings，for example，some people may rotate （旋轉(zhuǎn)） their wrists during handshakes so that their hand ends up on top instead of underneath．Some may squeeze so hard that it leaves the other person's hand in pain．
According to Stanton，by pulling people into his personal space，Trump is also testing w hether they are willing to cooperate with him．"For example，if someone was resistant to being yanked towards him and stood their ground，he would know that he has work to do with them before he got what he wanted，"Stanton told Express．
This is probably why on Feb 13 when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited the White House，all eyes were on how he was going to handle Trump's handshake．Fortunately，Trudeau managed to avoid the embarrassment by grabbing Trump's shoulder to stop himself being pulled in．Afterward，some Twitter users wrote that this proved Trudeau's strong leadership，with one even calling the moment"one of Canada's greatest victories"．
Vice magazine summed up the exchange between the two leaders as："…no regular handshake．This was the first shot in a bloodless war．"

25．According to Darren Stanton，Trump uses his"yank-shake"toA．
a．show his kindness              
b．gain control         
c．remind people of his status
d．see if people are cooperative    
e．get people to lower their guard
A．bcd
B．a(chǎn)bc
C．a(chǎn)ce
D．bde
26．The phrase"stood their ground"in Paragraph 5 probably meansB．
A．going ahead
B．standing still     
C．turning around  
D．pulling out
27．According to the text，the way Trudeau reacted to Trump's handshakeB．
A．a(chǎn)nnoyed Trump         
B．displayed his power
C．was considered rude          
D．was likely to start a war
28．What can be concluded from the text？C
A．Some people spin their wrists during handshakes to show extra respect．
B．Handshakes are the most preferable way for political leaders to greet others．
C．The way someone shakes another person's hand can have different meanings．
D．The longer two people shake their hands，the better their relationship is．

Thank you for your time and attention to my request．You will never know how much your help means to me．I am eager to get your instruction and looking forward to your reply．
