II. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answers.
Right now, a private company is developing something called ET3. ET3 stands for Evacuated Tube
Transport Technology.
The ET3 system would reportedly be able to take passengers from New York to Beijing in just two
 hours. Here is how it works. A vacuum tube goes all the way from New York to Beijing. The tube is
only a few meters, wide. Capsules move through the tube. Six people can sit in one capsule. The
capsules use electricity instead of gasoline. For international travel, the capsules can travel at about
6,500 kilometers per hour. That is much faster than an airplane! 1 1
So 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 resistance 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.
Of course, ET3 doesn’t exist yet. 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. Maybe someday, you will be able to have lunch in New York and dinner in
Beijing.

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.
2. The word “works” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to----------------------.
a. travels b. operates c. earns money d. succeeds
3. All of the following are factors that make ET3 travel fast EXCEPT.
a. there is no air inside the tube b. the capsule is quite light
c. traveling takes place in the air d. there is no air resistance during the trip
4. What is a problem with ET3?
a. It is far too expensive.
c. It is far too loud.
d. Most people according to the passage, which statement is NOT true.
5. There is no air in the ET3 tubes.
a. Each ET3 capsule can carry up to six people.
b. We don’t know how to build its capsules
c. Speed inET3system is 6,500km/h for international travel.
d. ET3 can travel a little faster than an airplane.
6. What can be inferred from the passage?
a. There is still a lot to do before putting ET3 into operation.
b. In the future, people will mainly use ET3 to travel abroad.
c. ET3 won’t be used domestically due to its high-cost
d. ET3 will soon be cheaper.
