23、In September 2022, Artemis Technologies company presented a new type of water ferry(渡船). The Artemis E-24 is the world’s first high-speed, electric, zero-emissions ferry. Currently, the only way to get from Belfast, Northern Ireland to Bangor, Wales without gelling on a plane, is to take a bus or train to Dublin. Ireland and to get on a ferry there. However, that could all change with Artemis E-24 to be applied literally.

The first Artemis E-24 is expected to set sail on a route between Belfast and Bangor as early as 2024. But actually the road to its creation began nearly 20 years ago, in 2005, when Olympic medalist, Dr. Iain Percy, joined the Artemis Racing sailing team. The Artemis ferry used the same hydrofoil(水翼船)technology that the Artemis Racing America’s Cup racing yachts did. It is this technology that can lift the boat out of the water as it picks up speed, much like an airplane’s wings, that make it seem as if it is flying.

Beyond the coolness factor, the reasons why Artemis E-24 uses the hydrofoil technology are practical. Raising the boat above the water, and reducing drug leads to up to a 85 percent reduction in fuel costs. Likewise, the reduced drag also minimizes the impact that running the ship has on shorelines. Reduced drag means lower waves.

The environmental benefit of a transportation technology is obvious to all. However, it also has practical benefits. As Dr. Percy told The Irish World, “this ferry will not only be the cheapest, but also the fastest way in water-based cities. It will get commuters(通勤者)to where they are going in 25 minutes. In addition, this new initiative will also bring more than 1, 000 new jobs into the Belfast area over the next few years. ”

The Artemis Ferry is a proof to the fact that new and creative technologies can make huge impacts, not only for the world and the environment, but for the local economics that produce them.

【1】Why is the route from Belfast to Bangor mentioned in paragraph 1?

A．To analyse the new ferry.

B．To make a list of evidence.

C．To come up with an idea.

D．To add the background of the topic.

【2】What does the paragraph 2 mainly show?

A．The shape of the Artemis E-24

B．The origin of the new invention.

C．The experiences of an Olympic medalist.

D．The effect of the hydrofoil technology.

【3】How can we describe the Artemis E-24?

A．It is light and energy-efficient.

B．It is cheap and fully automatic.

C．It is high-speed and cost-effective.

D．It is oil-burning and multifunctional.

【4】Whal is the best title of the text?

A．New Flying Ferry Could Revolutionize Water Travel

B．New Technology Balances Economy and Environment

C．The Artemis Ferry with Airplane’s Wings Will Set Sail

D．Hydrofoil Technology Leads to Reduction in Fuel Costs

24、Britain’s oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 101. Mr. John Evans had never found the time or money to make the trip from his home in Forest Fach, near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered him an all-expense-paid birthday treat to the capital he just could not refuse.

During the next two days Mr. Evans will be taken on a short tour of London to see the sights. Top of his list is a visit to the House of Parliament organized by his MP, Mr. Gareth Wardell.

The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided for him if he gets tired. “I don’t like the chair – people will think I am aging,” he said. His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized – no wine, no tobacco and no anger.
