The world's first hydrogen-powered trains have begun running in Germany. They began carrying passengers Monday in Germany’s northern Lower Saxony state. The new train will run 100-kilometer trips and can travel up to 140 kilometers an hour.
A French railroad company called Alstom built the two trains. Team in Germany and France cooperated on the project, which was supported by the German government. The new train model, called the Coradia iLint, signals the beginning of efforts in Germany and other nations to move away from pollution-producing diesel (柴油) trains.
The Coradia iLint is designed to run on non-electrified train lines with low levels of noise.
It uses a process that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electrical power. If the system produces more energy than the train needs at that time, it can store the extra energy in batteries. The only emissions are water and steam.
A single tank of hydrogen can run a Coradia iLint train for about 1,000 kilometers. This is very similar to the distance a diesel-powered train can run on with a single tank.
Hydrogen-powered trains cost more than diesel trains to build. But Alstom officials say the operating costs are much lower. The company plans to provide another 14 Coradia iLint trains to Lower Saxony by 2021.
The head of railroad operations in the area, Carmen Schwabl, praised replacing diesel trains with hydrogen. She said the move was an important first step in using clean-burning technologies to reach climate protection goals.
Officials say the area's many wind turbines(涡轮机) will produce part of the energy to create the hydrogen to power the trains.
Alstom says several other European countries have also expressed interest in developing hydrogen train systems. France has already said it wants its first hydrogen train to be operating by 2022.
1.. Why did Germany build the new trains?
A. To replace diesel trains. B. To carry more passengers.
C. To make traveling much easier. D. To develop friendship with France.
What is one advantage of the Coradia iLint?
It runs without making any noise. B. It doesn't use electrical power.
C. It costs much less to run. D. It is cheaper to make it.
It can be concluded that hydrogen trains .
are widely used B. are environmentally friendly
C. can stop air pollution D. can produce water and oxygen
What might be the best title for the text?
Saving Natural Resources B. Efforts to Reduce Emissions
C. World’s First Hydrogen Trains D. A New Way to Make Electricity

Scientists in England are using two selfdirected water vehicles to explore the animal and plant life of the Celtic Sea.
The Celtic Sea is a body of water off the southern coast of Ireland.The area is known for its unusual sea life.Scientists want to know why sea creatures are so attracted to this part of the Atlantic Ocean.
One of the research vehicles is powered by batteries ( 电 池 ).It collects information for the National Oceanography Center in Southampton，England，and the World Wildlife Fund.The vehicle's low energy requirements permit it to stay floating on water for up to 30 days.Reports of what it finds in the Celtic Sea are sent by satellite.
Stephen Woodward is an engineer who helped design the vehicle.He says the vehicle has equipment that can discover small organisms called zooplankton ( 浮 游 动 物 ) and fish.He adds that other sensing equipment measures water currents and other features of sea life.The vehicle also creates a map of the sea.
Another vehicle is powered by the sun and the wind.It can stay floating on water for months.The robotic vehicle sends information about the socalled biodiversity hotspots.A biodiversity hotspot is an area of an ocean that has a lot of plant and animal life activity.
Lavinia Suberg is one of the scientists studying the Celtic Sea.She says productive ocean areas，like the Celtic Sea，attract zooplankton.The zooplankton then attracts fish.She adds that areas with a large increase of fish often attract sea mammals and birds.
Using these robotic ocean vehicles greatly reduces the cost of exploring the sea with manned laboratories.Scientists can spend more time analyzing the collected information.They say the research will give them a better understanding of the needs of the Celtic Sea for future management and protection.
Why do the British scientists explore the Celtic Sea?
To study the geography of the sea.
To learn why the sea is rich in sea life.
To test their selfdirected water vehicles.
To learn about the sea creatures in the sea. 6．According to the text，the water vehicles ． A．are controlled directly by humans
work depending on the map of the sea
can send the information back directly
can keep floating on water for a long time
7．According to Lavinia Suberg，the sea mammals and birds ． A．are afraid of living alone
mainly feed on zooplankton
like to live in warm ocean areas
are especially interested in fish 8．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．The aim of sea exploration.
The cost of exploring the sea.
The importance of the water vehicles.
Ways to deal with the collected information.
C
Some people asked me how I could suggest the expenses of billions of dollars for a voyage to Mars，at a time when many children on this Earth are starving to death.I know that they do not expect an answer such as“Oh，I did not know that there are children dying from hunger，but from now on I will stop any kind of space research until mankind has solved that problem！” In fact，I have known of this long before.
But I firmly believe that by working for the space program we can make some contributions
to the relief and eventual solution of such serious problems as poverty and hunger on the earth.Two basic factors causing the poverty and hunger problems are the production of food and the distribution ( 分 布 ) of food.In fact，large areas of land could be used far better if efficient methods of farming，fertilizer use，weather forecasting，field selection，planting，crop surveys，harvest planning and so on were applied.The best tool for the improvement of all these methods undoubtedly is the artificial Earth satellite.Circling the globe at a high altitude，it can screen wide areas of land within a short time；it can observe and measure a large variety of factors indicating the status and condition of crops，soil，droughts，rainfall，snow cover，etc. Besides，in modern society，there is a continuing great need for new basic knowledge in science if we wish to improve the conditions of human life on the earth.We need more knowledge in physics and chemistry，in biology and physiology，and particularly in medicine to cope with all these problems which threaten man's life：hunger，disease，overpopulation，pollution of water and the environment.In a way，the space age not only holds out a mirror in which we can
see ourselves，it also provides us with the technologies.
The passage is mainly discussing about ．
whether the children's dying from hunger is the major problem
whether there is an effective way to avoid the global starvation
whether the author's suggestion has been taken into serious consideration
whether it is worth spending much money on the space research
According to the author，what plays an important part in dealing with poverty and hunger?
A．Food supply. B．Methods of farming.
C．Government support. D．Modern technology. 11．The second paragraph is mainly developed by ． A．making comparison
giving explanation
giving examples
offering advice
From the last paragraph，we can infer that ．
A．more basic knowledge is required to be learned B．technologies can help to improve our living quality C．we can live a more peaceful and happier life
D．there are different views on the space age
D
Amazing concept images have shown what homes of the future could look like，as preparations are made for the world's first freeform 3Dprinted property (房产).
Experts will build a house called Curve Appeal，which will be 3Dprinted offsite before being put together onsite to create two outside walls，a roof and an inside part.These four main sections will then be joined together.
Although 3Dprinted buildings have been made before，this home—to be constructed in Chattanooga，Tennessee，later this year—will be the first of its kind，as it will contain no regular shapes or angles.The house is the creation of the design company WATG，based in London and California.The design for Curve Appeal draws inspiration from the Case Study House program.
The architects leading the program were famed for constantly pushing the limits in terms of minimalist ( 极 简 主 义 ) materials，and trying to create openplan spaces that focused on enhancing ( 增 强 ) natural light.In a written statement，a spokesman for WATG said， “Employing many of the same modern design principles，Curve Appeal is the next evolutionary step.It's important that the architecture and the environment work together harmoniously.The chosen site is steps away from the Tennessee River in a beautiful wooded，sunlit area.”
WATG was awarded the first prize in the Freeform Home Design Challenge in 2016 and
given prize money of $8，000 to make its plans a reality.The competition was aimed at architects，designers，engineers and artists.Participants were challenged to design a 600 to 800 sqft singlefamily home that rethinks traditional aesthetics (美学)，ergonomics，construction， building systems and structure.
Over the last year，WATG's Chicago office has been developing their design with Branch Technology.This project is currently underway，working towards breaking ground later this
year.Once completed，the Curve Appeal home will have open and lightfilled inside living
spaces.
From the passage we can know that Curve Appeal ． A．will be different from an ordinary house
is the first 3Dprinted building
has apparent walls and a roof
was ever built in the world
Where is the architecture located according to Paragraph 4? A．Far away from the Tennessee River.
In the woods near the Tennessee River.
Between the Tennessee River and the woods.
Next to some modern architectures.
What does the Freeform Home Design Challenge do? A．It motivates participants to design at random.
It emphasizes traditions rather than modernization.
It sponsors competitors when necessary.
It helps put creative ideas into practice. 16．What's the passage mainly about?
What our homes will look like in the future.
The Freeform Home Design Challenge.
The world's first freeform 3Dprinted house.
The development of 3D in architecture.
