21、In the United States，a company is working on a project that could change the way we think about public transportation.Its planned system would move people around in steel tubes.Those passengers would be traveling at speeds of up to 1,200 kilometers per hour.

The futuristic steel tube transportation system is called Hyper1oop.Workers plan to test the system next year in a specially built community called Quay Valley.The town will be powered entirely by energy from the sun.

The Hyperloop transport system is the idea of businessman Elon Musk.Dirk Ahlborn is head of Hyperloop Transportation Technologies.He says his company has taken Mr.Musk’s idea and is developing a system that will be safe，environmentally friendly and fast.

“It’s 100 percent solar powered…we’re not going to get up to 760 miles per hour，but we believe we can actually break the records that are existing right now.”

This means that a four-hour drive from Los Angeles，California to Las Vegas，Nevada，could someday take only 30 minutes by Hyperloop.The system involves a series of capsules that float inside a long tube.These containers would not need to travel along a pathway or track.The system has been designed to operate above or below ground.

“Inside the tube you create a low pressure environment very similar to an airplane that’s at high altitudes.So now the capsule travelling inside the tube doesn’t come up against as much resistance，and therefore can travel really fast with very little energy.”

Dick Ahlborn and his company will use an eight—kilometer track in Quay Valley to find the best way to set up passenger traffic and repair capsules.A larger system will cost an estimated six to $10 billion to build.If Mr.Ahlborn and his company succeed，we may one day see these very fast Hyperloop capsules speeding through tubes around the world.

【1】Which of the following is true of Hyperloop?

A. It will travel along a pathway or track.

B. It will use more energy than current trains.

C. There is a high pressure inside the tube of it.

D. A series of experiments on it will be carried on.

【2】We may learn from the text that

A. Dirk is worried about the speed of Hyperloop

B. Hyperloop has been built in the United States

C. Hyperloop will be powered by energy from the sun

D. Hyperloop has reached to 760 miles per hour

【3】What does the underlined word“containers”in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A. Systems.   B. Capsules.   C. Tubes.   D. Airplanes.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A. Hyperloop Is Closer To Reality   B. Hyperloop Will Test At Quay Valley

C. Elon Musk’s Idea Is Under Discussion   D. Hyperloop Travels Around The World

22、My 16-year-old son, Anton, had gone to the local swimming hole. Most of the kids who swim there are fit and strong teens, and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his well-being. Still, the firefighter’s first words, “You need to come up here to the Stillwater River,” made me catch my breath.

When I got to the river, I saw Anton sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine, with a towel wrapped about his shoulders.

I hurried over to him. “You OK?” I asked.

“Yeah,” was all he said. But my eyes begged for an explanation. I didn’t get it from my son.

The story was this: A couple in their 20s, unfamiliar with the Stillwater, had gotten caught in the current and began screaming for help. Without hesitation Anton and his friend dived into the water, swam out to the drowning(溺水的) woman, and brought her safely to shore.

In an age in which the world “hero” is broadcast with abandon(随意）and seemingly applied to anyone, I realized the real thing in my son and his friend—the disregarding of personal safety for the sake of another human being. I know that teens are headstrong and self-centered, but this didn’t lower the gravity of the event and the desire to do good.

Along the way home I tried to get some more information from him, but the only words were, “What’s for supper?”

I thought twice about the tragedy(悲剧) that might have been. Questions flew across my mind like a flight of swallows: Would I have risked my life to save a drowning person? Or would I have chosen to dial 911? Would I have told the story over and over to anyone who’d listen?

The next morning, when Anton got up, I half expected him to tell me the story from his point of view, now that he had some distance from the event. But all he did was to toast a pie, pull himself together, and head for the door to begin the new day.

【1】The writer caught her breath when she heard the fire fighters’ first words because______.

A. her son saved a woman

B. she was scolded by fire fighters

C. she was anxious about her son’s safety

D. her son was to blame for a fire

【2】We can infer from the passage that _______.

A. firefighters always turn up in case of emergency

B. parents are always worried about their children

C. it’s dangerous to swim in an unfamiliar river

D. teens are more responsible than expected

【3】Which would be the best title for the passage?

A. My Mother, My Love B. My Son, My Hero

C. A Narrow Escape D. A Silent Boy

【4】Anton kept silent about his deed because_______.

A. he was still in fear

B. he was annoyed with mother

C. he regarded it as a normal thing

D. he was afraid of being scolded

23、If you can’t turn water into gold, the next best thing might be to transform water itself into a shiny, metallic material. Researchers have achieved that by forming a thin layer of water around electron-sharing alkali (碱) metals.

Co-author Pavel Jungwirth, a physical chemist at the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague, says “We were not sure at all we would find it, but it was amazing, like when you discover a new element.” The team published its findings on 28 July in Nature.

In theory, most materials are capable of becoming metallic if put under enough pressure. Turning water into a metal in this way would require an expected 15 million atmospheres of pressure, which is out of reach for current lab techniques, says Jungwirth. But he assumed that water could become conductive by borrowing electrons from alkali metals. These reactive elements including sodium(钠) and potassium (钾) tend to donate their outermost electron. Last year, Jungwirth and his colleague Phil Mason led a team that demonstrated a similar effect in ammonia (氨).

The team wanted to try the same approach with water instead of ammonia, but faced a challenge: alkali metals tend to react explosively when mixed with water. The solution was to design an experimental set-up that would dramatically slow the reaction so that it would not be explosive.

The researchers filled a syringe (注射器) with sodium and potassium, and placed it in a vacuum chamber (真空箱). They then used the syringe to form drops of the metal mixture and exposed them to small amounts of water vapour (蒸汽). The water condensed (凝结) onto each drop and formed a layer one-tenth of a micrometre thick. Electrons from the drop then quickly spread into the water — together with positive metallic ions (离子)— and, within a few seconds, the water layer turned golden.

“Seeing the water take on a golden shine was a highlight of my career.” says Jungwirth.

【1】What does the underlined word “that” refer to in Paragraph 1?

A．Sharing electrons with alkali metals.

B．Transforming water into gold with a shine.

C．Turning water into a shiny, metallic material.

D．Forming a layer of water around alkali metals.

【2】How did Pavel Jungwirth confirm his assumption?

A．By designing an experimental set-up.

B．By putting water under great pressure.

C．By managing to mix water with alkali metals.

D．By borrowing outermost electrons from ammonia.

【3】Paragraph 5 is mainly about the ________ of the experiment.

A．requirements

B．preparations

C．process

D．result

【4】What does the underlined part “a highlight of my career” probably mean?

A．A major concern.

B．An important experiment.

C．A special challenge.

D．An outstanding achievement.
