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 the air. The air slows the airplanes down. Because there is no air in the ET3 tubes, the capsules are able to move at a very high speed. Besides, the capsules are quite light. They only weigh 183 kilograms.

There are other advantages to ET3. Because it uses electricity, it is quite clean. In addition, it is much quieter than airplanes and cars. Finally, ET3 tubes and capsules don't require very much building material.

Of course, ET3 doesn’t exist 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 is exciting to think of how ET3 will change travel in the future. Maybe someday, you will be able to have lunch in New York and dinner in Beijing.

31. Which of the following is NOT true about travelling at present?

A. Modern planes fly at about 800 kilometers per hour.

B. We use mostly gasoline for transportation.

C. Flights make little noise thanks to modern technology.

D. Traveling takes place in the air.

32. Why is ET3 clean?

A. It is made of a clean kind of material.

B. It uses a cleaner kind of gasoline.

C. It doesn’t use gasoline or electricity.

D. It uses electricity.

33. The word “works” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _________.

A. travels B. operates C. earns money D. succeeds

34. All of the following are factors that make ET3 travel fast EXCEPT that _________.

A. there is no air inside the tube

B. the capsule is quite light

C. building material was discovered by accident

D. there is nearly no friction during the trip

35. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. There is still a lot to do before putting ET3 into operation.

B. All flights have to transfer at different cities.

C. ET3 will be used domestically.

D. Electricity used as a source of energy makes a capsule much quieter.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Our local environment is the world right around us - the air we breathe, the water we drink, the parks we play in, and the streets we walk on. Taking care of it is essential for our well-being and the health of the planet.

One simple way to help is by keeping our neighborhoods clean. We can do this by not throwing trash on the ground and using trash cans. Picking up litter when we see it is a small act that makes a big difference. Cleaner streets also mean cleaner air because there's less dust and pollution.

We can also save energy to help our local environment. Turning off lights when we leave a room and using less water when we take showers or brush our teeth can lower our energy use. When we use less energy, we reduce the pollution that harms our air and environment.

Our local parks and green spaces are essential for our well-being. We should enjoy these places and take care of them. Picking up after ourselves, not damaging plants, and not leaving trash behind are simple ways to keep these areas beautiful.

Preserving local wildlife is another part of taking care of our environment. We can do this by not disturbing animals' homes and being kind to the creatures we share our space with.

Lastly, getting involved in community projects like clean-up events or tree planting can bring people together to make our local environment even better. When we work together, we create a stronger, healthier, and happier place to call home.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise. It can help to increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and a stronger heart. But increasing your strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because you’re not carrying the weight of your body on your feet, it’s a good form of exercise for people with painful feet or backs. However, with all forms of exercise it’s important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing too much too quickly can damage muscles that aren’t used to working. If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to your doctor and ask for his/her advice.

Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be doing you good, you should get a little out of breath. Don’t worry that if you begin to lose your breath, it could be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart.
