China has many great infrastructure (基础设施) projects across the country. We can see roads crossing rivers and highways winding through high mountains. Among these special mountain roads, the Lingpai Stone Road in Wuxi County, Chongqing is one of the most frightening and challenging ones.

Lingpai Stone Road is located in Wuxi County of southwestern China. The road lies between two extremely steep cliffs. It connects the small Tian Ping Community with the outside world. The whole road is only 3.7 kilometers long, and its zigzag (曲折的) part is just 453 meters. Even skilled and experienced drivers feel nervous and cautious while driving on it.

The road was completed in 2012 and fully paved (铺设路面) seven years later. It is very narrow and has many sharp turns. The steepest slope (斜坡) of the road reaches 36%. It is so narrow that drivers can never make a U-turn halfway.

Tian Ping Community is home to only 137 people from 37 families. The road is hardly crowded all year round, allowing drivers to move slowly and carefully. This road is closed to trucks, buses and other large vehicles. They are too huge to pass the narrow zigzag bends. Even small cars need to take advantage of special spaces at each corner to turn safely. Besides, drivers must keep a low speed all the way on the steep winding part to ensure safety.

1.1.What is Token Stone Road famous for?

A Its long straight path.

B Its wonderful mountain views.

C Its special building design.

D Its difficult driving condition.

解析：选D。D 细节理解题。根据第一段“Token Stone Road in Wuxi is one of the most scary and challenging ones”可知，这条路以行车路况艰险而出名。A项“长而笔直的路”与文中“zigzag”描述完全相反；B项“美妙的山景”全文并未提及；C项“特殊的建筑设计”虽可联想到道路的曲折狭窄，但文章突出的是其令人紧张、充满挑战的驾驶体验，而非设计本身，故不选。故选D。

2.2. Where is Lingpaishi Road situated?

A In North China.

B In Southwest China.

C In East China.

D In Central China.

解析：选B。B 细节理解题。第二段开头明确交代“Token Stone Road is located in Wuxi County of southwestern China. It is also known as Lingpaishi Road.”，直接可知 Lingpaishi Road 位于中国西南部，故选B。其他方向文中均未出现。故选B。

3.3. When was Token Stone Road fully paved?

A In 2012.

B In 2017.

C In 2019.

D In 2022.

解析：选C。C 数字计算题。第三段首句说“The road was completed in 2012 and fully paved seven years later.”，即公路于2012年建成，七年后的2019年完成路面铺设。A项是建成时间，B项和D项均与“七年后”的计算结果不符。故选C。

4.4. What can we know about Tian Ping Community?

A It is a small quiet community.

B It has large families.

C It is very crowded.

D It lies in a flat area.

解析：选A。A 推理判断题。根据第四段的“There are only 137 people in 37 families living in Tian Ping Community”可知，这个社区仅有37户137人，且道路全年几乎不拥挤，从这些细节可以合理推断它是个小而安静的社区，故选A。B项“大家庭”与137人、37户的平均家庭规模不符；C项“非常拥挤”与“hardly crowded”相反；D项“位于平坦地区”与公路处于陡峭悬崖之间的描述矛盾，因此均排除。故选A。

5.5. Which of the following can be allowed on the road?

A Big city buses.

B Heavy large trucks.

C Ordinary small cars.

D All kinds of large vehicles.

解析：选C。C 推理判断题。最后一段明确指出“This road is closed to trucks, buses and other large vehicles.”，即禁止卡车、公交车等大型车辆通行，且后面提到“Even small cars need to take advantage of special spaces...”，说明普通小型汽车只要小心驾驶是可以通行的，C项正确。A项公交车、B项重型卡车和D项所有大型车辆均属被禁范围。故选C。
