Travel in the Future
These days, if you want to travel from New York to Beijing, the flight takes about 16 hours. You also have to wait at the airport, and sometimes you have to transfer(换乘)onto a different airplane. If you add all of that extra time, the trip takes at least 20 hours. But in the future, the trip from New York to Beijing might only take two hours.
Right now, a company is developing something called ET3, which stands for “evacuated tube(真空管)transport technology(技术)”. Here’s how it works. A tube goes all the way from New York to Beijing. The tube is only a few meters wide. Capsules(舱)move through the tube. Six people can sit in one capsule. The capsules use electricity instead of oil. For international travel, the capsules can travel at about 6, 500 kilometers per hour. That’s much faster than airplanes—most modern airplanes usually only fly at about 800 kilometers per hour.
So how is this possible How can these capsules travel so fast The answer is that there is no air inside the tube. When airplanes fly, they have to move through air. The air slows the airplanes down. Because there isn’t any air in the ET3 tubes, the capsules are able to move at a very high speed. Also, the capsules are quite light. Each only weighs 183 kilograms.
There are other advantages to ET3. Because it uses electricity, it’s quite clean. Also, it’s a lot quieter than airplanes and cars. Finally, ET3 tubes and capsules don’t require very much building materials.
Of course, ET3 doesn’t come into use yet. The technology is still being developed. Developers still have to solve a lot of problems. The biggest problem is that right now ET3 would be far too expensive. In order to make ET3 cheaper, we will need much better technology.
It’s exciting to think of how ET3 will change the travel in the future. Who knows Maybe someday you’ll be able to have lunch in New York and dinner in Beijing.
26.According to the passage, an ET3 looks more like a _________.
A.ship B.bus C.plane D.subway train
27.ET3 travels at the very high speed because _________.
A.it is powered by electricity and oil
B.it is much lighter than an airplane
C.it moves through a tube without air
D.it is made up of fewer capsules
28.From the passage, the writer expects that ________.
A.modern technology will be used in airplanes
B.ET3 will take the place of any other way of transportation
C.more money will be spent on the technology of ET3
D.ET3 will change the travel in the future greatly
四、阅读判断
It was a cold night. The taxi driver didn’t take even one passenger all day. When he went by the train station, he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he drove to him and asked, “Where are you going ,sir ” “To the MP Hotel,” the young man answered. When the taxi driver heard this, he didn’t feel happy any more. The young man would give him only three dollars because the hotel was near the train station. But suddenly, he had an idea. He took the young man through many streets of the big city. After a long time, they arrived at the hotel. “Here we are! You should pay me seventeen dollars, please,” the taxi driver said to the young man. “What Seventeen dollars! Do you think I’m a fool Only last week, I took a taxi from the train station to this hotel and I only gave the driver fifteen dollars. I know how much I have to pay for the trip.”

五、阅读回答问题
When a leader visits another country, he or she sometimes goes to the country’s most famous places. It is to show respect to the local culture. For the leaders, it’s also a good time to relax during a tiring foreign trip.

十一、材料作文
It’s a good idea to go travelling during the summer vacation. I think the best place to visit is the Palace Museum. You’d better go there in spring, because it’s neither too cold nor too hot. As we all know, the Palace Museum, also known as the Purple Forbidden City, is wonderful and famous for its long history in the world. You can see a lot of ancient buildings, including palaces, temples and towers. If You want to visit to the Palace Museum, you should pay attention to our safety. You had better go with your friends or our family. What’s more, if you can speak some simple chinese, it will be easy for you to communicate with locals.
