   答案：It reopened recently.

   原文定位：There’s a visitor center at the station which has a small exhibition about the history of railway transport all over the world and a facility for hiring bikes if you don’t have one of your own. There’s also a small shop just across the road from the station that sells refreshments

   • they need to book in advance.
   • they have to travel at the weekend.
   • they must pay an additional charge for their bicycle.

   答案：they have to travel at the weekend.

   原文定位：As I said, you can cycle to Langton and return to Amston by train or the other way around because you can take your cycle on the train. There’s no need to book. There’s plenty of room and no extra charge. However, the service is very limited, and the trains between these two places don’t run on weekdays

   同义替换：「they have to travel at the weekend」↔「don’t run on weekdays」

9. 19 What warning does the speaker give about walking to the River Elm?
   • It can take a long time to get back.
   • There is nowhere to leave bicycles.
   • The waterfall is inaccessible on foot.

   答案：It can take a long time to get back.

   原文定位：If you want to see the River Elm, there’s a footpath from Amston Station, and you can safely leave your bike in the car park there. Leave yourself plenty of time, though. Going down’s easy, but the climb up is very steep, so the walk back up to the top can take quite a while

   同义替换：「take quite a while」↔「take a long time to get back」

10. 20 To find out about other cycle paths in the region, you can

    原文定位：We’ll be talking on the radio about them, and you’ll be able to get full details in the Saturday edition of the local paper. The National Cycle Network also has some details on their website, although I have to say they don’t have many local ones yet
