Question

【题目】 Frank Miller was born in Lodz, Poland. He came to China several years ago. So far, he has been working in Chengdu for four years.

“The Belt and Road is meaningful,” he said. “Thanks to it, we are offered more chances.” The most strongest support for Chengdu to thrive (兴盛) along the Belt and Road is the Chengdu-Europe express railway (铁路). It provides direct train services between Chengdu and the city of Lodz.

Because of the express railway, trains can bring things from China to Europe. At the same time, they can bring back European food, wine, meat and so on. In 2016, 460 trains ran between Chengdu and Europe. The number is expected to grow to 1,000 this year.

Since the Chengdu-Lodz express railway was opened, Chengdu, with other cities in west China, has developed close trade ties with the European countries. Poland is one of the largest apple producers in Europe. Frank's company helps farmers in Poland sell their apples to China. More and more European products will be sent to China in the future.

【解析】

本文介绍借Frank Miller的故事介绍了“一带一路”对成都的影响。来自波兰罗兹，今年已是他在成都生活的第4个年头。成都在“一带一路”兴盛的最强支柱是成都-欧洲快铁。它为成都和波兰的罗兹之间提供直接的铁路服务。通过这条快铁，火车可以把中国的东西运往欧洲，同时也能带回欧洲的食物、白酒等。2016年，460趟火车往来与成都和欧洲之间，今年将会达到1000趟。自从成都-罗兹快铁开通以来，成都和中国西部的系统城市和欧洲国家之间建立起紧密的贸易关系，将来会有更多的欧洲产品运往中国。

【1】根据Frank Miller was born in Lodz, Poland.可知，Frank Miller的出生地在波兰罗兹。故答案为In Lodz, Poland。

【2】根据So far, he has been working in Chengdu for four years.可知，他自从四年前就来中国工作了。for four years为for+一段时间，转换为since+过去的时间，即since four years ago。故答案为four years ago。

【3】根据In 2016, 460 trains ran between Chengdu and Europe.可知，2016年，460趟火车往来与成都和欧洲之间。故答案为460。

【4】句子Thanks to the “the Chengdu-Europe express railway”, direct train services ___4___ between Chengdu and the city Lodz.中，direct train services作主语；根据It provides direct train services between Chengdu and the city of Lodz.可知，谓语动词为provide；主语direct train services和谓语动词provide之间为被动关系，主语为复数。故答案为are provided。

【5】根据Since the Chengdu-Lodz express railway was opened, Chengdu, with other cities in west China, has developed close trade ties with the European countries.可知，自从成都-罗兹快铁开通以来，成都和中国西部的系统城市和欧洲国家之间建立起紧密的贸易关系。句子Chengdu and other cities in west China___5___ with the European countries.的主语Chengdu and other cities in west China为复数。为故答案为have developed close trade ties。
