Experts have put forward detailed plans for a tunnel ( 隧道 ) to join Taiwan with the Chinese mainland .
The shortest proposed route would be 126 kilometers —more than twice the length of the English Channel Tunnel . And the longest proposed route would be 207 kilometers, which would be No. 1 in length in the world .
A recent conference in Xiamen, Fujian Province brought together more than 70 experts . The event was co-sponsored (共同发起 ) by universities from Taiwan and the Chinese mainland .
Fujian is the province where both proposed routes would begin .
There is no direct passenger access (通道 ) between the mainland and Taiwan by air or sea at the moment.
Experts say that it is better to start research sooner rather than later, although there is a lack of government funds( 资金 ).There are no technical problems to build a Taiwan tunnel .But it will require an improved political relationship across the Straits .
A professor of Tsinghua University said, \preparation is longer than the period of construction \
\discussed for two centuries . And preparations for the huge Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River began in the 1950s .
The Xiamen conference focused on the Iongest southern route, which would use the Taiwan-controlled islands ofJinmen and Penghu as stepping-stones .
The first stage of the new project could be a bridge to cross the five kilometers between Xiamen and Jinmen . This would mean that traveling from Xiamen to Jinmen by car would only take five minutes .
The Ion gest tunnel now being pla nned any where in the world is the 54-kilometer land tunnel to link Lyon in France with Turin in Italy . The tunnel will not be completed until 2015-2020 74. Which is the Iongest tunnel in the world at present?

D . The preparati on takes Ion ger time tha n the con structi on in some huge projects 76 . Which of the followi ng is NOT true?
A . Universities both at home and abroad have sponsored the plan . B . If the project is completed, the world's Ion gest tunnel will appear . C . You can't reach Taiwan from the mainland directly at present . D . The Starting point of the proposed tunnel is in Fujia n
