单选题 Yamagata-born Ken Okuyama, well known in automobile design circles, was brought into style the company's super glossy new Cruise Train. Holding a maximum of 34 passengers, the Cruise Train will have 10 carriages made up of five suites, one deluxe suite, two glass-walled observation cars, a dining car and lounge.
Okuyama has worked as a chief designer for General Motors, a senior designer for Porsche AG and design director for Pininfarina, the company behind the Ferrari Enzo and Maserati Quattroporte.
According to his company, Ken Okuyama Design, he wanted to create a train that would allow passengers 'to appreciate the flow of the time and space,' while enjoying Japan's landscapes and culture throughout the journey.
One of the more unique features is the observation carriage at the front of the train, which allows passengers to see onto the tracks ahead. The other observation car is at the end of the train.
JR Rail says the train will be fitted with furniture that conveys the nobility of traditional Japanese culture. The Lounge, for instance, is wrapped in exquisite curves and features decoration inspired by trees. All suites will have a private bathroom with a shower and toilet, but the top sleeping space is the split level deluxe suite, which sleeps four. On the bottom are two double beds, on the top a traditional Japanese dining area, with seats on the floor.
The train will be able to run on both electric and non-electric rails.
JR East's upcoming Cruise Train won't be the first Japanese train to take the super-luxury route.
JR Kyushu's Seven Stars train, which features Japanese and Western design elements, hit the tracks in the fall of 2013. This one only travels through the island of Kyushu and has 14 luxury guest rooms, two deluxe suites, three presidential suites, a lounge car, dining car and bar. Guests can choose either the two-or three-night experience. The name 'Seven Stars' represents the seven districts of Kyushu, the seven carriages of the train and the seven main tourist attractions of the island (nature, food, hot springs, history / culture, spiritual sites, local hospitality and sightseeing).
Those who want to take a Seven Stars journey need to apply online. Prices start from ～180,000 ($1,765) per person for the two-night trip. No first come first serve here. The company says that in the event that applications exceed available places, a lottery will be conducted to select participants.

单选题 We can learn from the passage that the furniture fitted in the Cruise train ______.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】细节题。本题考查的是巡游火车的家具，可以定位到文中第五段JR Rail says the train will be fitted with furniture that conveys the nobility of traditional Japanese culture. The Lounge, for instance, is wrapped in exquisite curves and features decoration inspired by trees...，可以看出这些家具是为了传达出传统日本文化的高贵，这与C项的意思一致。D项是与文中JR Kyushu's Seven Stars train, which features Japanese and Western design elements对应，这是七星火车的装修风格，不是巡游火车的。因此，正确答案是C。

单选题 Which is not among the reasons that JR Kyushu's named his train 'Seven Stars'?

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】细节题。本题考查的是起名“七星”火车的原因。可以定位到文中倒数第二段The name 'Seven Stars' represents the seven districts of Kyushu, the seven carriages of the train and the seven main tourist attractions of the island (nature, food, hot springs, history/culture, spiritual sites, local hospitality and sightseeing)，可以看出主要是代表了九州的七个区，火车的七节车厢以及九州岛上的七大景点，所以A、B、C都是，D项讲代表了妇女的七大美德文章没有提到。因此，正确答案是D。
