Ⅳ.阅读理解 （共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Experts have put forward detailed plans for a tunnel to connect Taiwan with the Chinese mainland.

The shortest proposed route(路线) would be 126 kilometers more than twice the length of the English Channel Tunnel. And the longest proposed route would be 207 kilometers.

A recent conference in Xiamen, Fujian Province brought together more than 70 experts. The event was co-sponsored (共同赞助) by universities from Taiwan and the Chinese mainland.

Fujian is the province where both proposed routes would begin.

There is direct passenger access between the mainland and Taiwan by air and sea at the moment.

Experts say that it is better to start research sooner rather than later, although there is a lack of government funding(资金). There are no technical problems to build a Taiwan tunnel. But it will require an improved political relationship across the Straits（海峡）.

A professor of Tsinghua university said, "A special feature of huge projects is that the period of preparation is longer than the period of construction."

For example, he said, the English Channel Tunnel took 14 years of planning and had been discussed for two centuries
