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!
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.
Question 23. 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.
Question 24. The word “works” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. travels B. operates C. earns money D. succeeds
Question 25. 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
Question 26. What is a problem with ET3?
A. It is far too expensive. B. We don’t know how to build it
capsules.
C. It is far too loud. D. Most people don’t want to use it.
Question 27. 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.
