Last week,German technology supplier Siemens AG said that it was close to signing a deal that would allow the world's only maglev train in commercial use.
In March last year,the central government approved a feasibility study on the 175 km ShanghaiHangzhou route with speeds of up to 450 km per hour.But recent accidents and cost concerns,as well as strong opposition from local residents,have thrown a spanner in the works.
The project was expected to be completed by 2010 in time for the Shanghai Expo.
A maglev train on a trial run crashed in Germany last year,killing 23 people.In August last year,one of the maglev trains in Shanghai caught fire,forcing it to be evacuated.
Although the original budget was for ¥4.5 billion,Xinhua cited experts estimating a final tally exceeding ¥5.2 billion.
According to residents along the proposed route,the maglev line would have been separated from communities by a greenbelt only 22.5 meters wide,although a blueprint at the local government indicated a protection belt 150 meters wide would be built on either side.German specifications require a 300meter leeway on both sides of the track.
5.The maglev rail route has been suspended mainly because of________.
A.recent accidents
B.concerns of radiation
C.cost concerns
D.disapproval from the government
