The world’s fastest trains
Let’s have a look at the high-speed vehicles that run on rails(轨道).
Shanghai Maglev Train (磁浮列车) Shanghai(China) Having been commercially running since 2006, this train transports passengers to and from Pudong International Airport every 15 to 20 minutes. The journey covers a distance of about 19 miles in an amazing (惊人的) eight minutes or less.
Italo and Frecciarossa Milan to Florence/Rome(Italy) The train is fast and environmentally friendly. Travelling from Milan to either Florence or Rome can be in less than three hours.
Beijing-Zhangjiakou Intercity High-speed Railway Beijing and Zhangjiakou(China) China is surely proud of this railway, which is the world’s first to achieve driverless operation at 350 km/h. It was built to improve transport during the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games.

Airships were popular in the early 1900s. These aircraft can fly because they are filled with lighter-than-air gases. Some types have a rigid frame and all of them have a cabin (机舱) below the main body. Pilots and passengers are carried in this cabin.
Back in the 1900s, most airships were filled with hydrogen(氢气). The gas burns easily. In 1937, an airship called the Hindenburg caught fire during landing. Thirty-six people died as a result. The sad thing scared people away from airships. At that time, planes were improving quickly. Since then, people have been using planes for most air travel.
Now, an American company called Lighter Than Air(LTA) Research wants to change that. LTA Research has been working on its airship, Pathfinder 1, for about ten years.
The new airship, about 123 metres long, is the largest of its kind since the 1930s. It uses helium(氦气). This gas is also lighter than air but does not burn. The helium fills 13 separate parts of the airship. About 10,000 long carbon fibre tubes(碳纤维管) make up a strong frame to protect these parts. The airship is powered by 12 electric motors. The electricity comes from either batteries or generators(发电机). With these motors, the airship can take off and land without a runway.
Pathfinder 1 can carry about 4 tons of goods. It can fly at a speed of up to 120 kilometres per hour. In November 2023, the airship made its first test flights in California. LTA Research hopes to show that their airships can be used to move goods quickly without polluting the air.
4. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Planes were improving quickly after the airship had a crash.
B. People preferred to travel by plane rather than by airship for safety.
C. LTA Research has been working on its airship for about ten years.
D. Airships were uncomfortable and not big enough for pilots or passengers to stay in.
5. How does the author describe the new airship in Paragraph 4
A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples.
C. By raising questions. D. By making comparisons.
6. What does the underlined word “powered” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Protected. B. Driven. C. Stopped. D. Designed.
7. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. The history of airships in the 1900s
B. Pathfinder 1: a new safe and green airship
C. The differences between planes and airships
D. LTA Research: a famous American company

When Anne woke up the next morning, she could not remember where she was. Then, she remembered. This was Green Gables and they didn’t want her because she wasn’t a boy! She looked out of the window. It was such a beautiful place. She wished they would not send her away.
During the drive back to the station, Marilla said, “It’s five miles, and since you enjoy talking so much, you can tell me what you know about yourself. ” “I was eleven last March”, said Anne. “And I was born in Bolingbroke, Nova Scotia. My father and mother were teachers. They were very poor and lived in a small yellow house in Bolingbroke. My mother died from a fever soon after I was born, and my father died four days later from a fever, too. ”
“I lived with people called Thomas until I was eight years old and helped look after their other children. Then, Mr Thomas was killed when he fell under a train. Then, Mrs Hammond took me, and I lived with her for two years and looked after all her children. Then, she died. Nobody wanted me, so I was put in a children’s home. ”
Marilla asked no more questions. She felt sorry for Anne. The child had had a hard life, living with people who did not really want her. She began to think it was a pity the girl had to be sent back to the children’s home.
Marilla thought long and hard about keeping Anne. She knew that her brother wanted to keep her, and she saw that the girl was clever, even if she liked to dream. The next afternoon, Marilla said to the little girl, “Sit down and listen. We have decided that you may stay here. You must go to school when it opens again in September. ”
“Oh, thank you,” Anne said happily.
Anne had been at Green Gables a fortnight(两星期) before Mrs Lynde came to see what she was like. “You’re not much to look at,” Mrs Lynde said. “You’re very thin and plain. And your face has freckles and your hair is the colour of carrots. ”
“I hate you,” cried Anne. “I hate you! I hate you!” “What a temper!” cried Mrs Lynde.
“Anne, go to your room and stay there until I come up,” said Marilla. Anne ran to her room, crying. Afterward, Marilla went upstairs to talk to Anne.

What will our life be like in 50 years No one knows the answer exactly, but we are sure that it will be very different from the life today. My brother Jill White makes some predictions. 12
First, people will have less work to do, and robots will do most work. People will use robots to make cars, do the housework, look after sick people and teach students. 13 So people will become stronger and healthier, and they will live to be about 200 years old.
Second, cars will become very small and computers will control(控制) their speed. 14 Planes will be very popular and most people would like to take them to travel.
Third, people will be able to live in the sea, on the moon or on Mars. 15 So there will be much space for people to plant trees. There will be less pollution, and the air will become much fresher.
Finally, water shortage will become one of the most serious problems. If people don’t save water now, there will be water wars in 50 years.
A. Here are some of his ideas.
B. The earth won’t be crowded or noisy.

The blueprint(蓝图) described in the novel became real exactly after 100 years.
On 1 May 2010, the World Exposition, with about 160 years of history, drew back its curtain in Shanghai.

It grew into a commercial(商业的) city thanks to its prosperous(繁荣的) port and Shanghai also became one of the first Chinese cities that opened their doors to the world.

Changes in our life
With the rapid development of China's economy (经济), great changes have taken place in our life in the past few years. In my hometown, many paths have been turned into wide roads. As a result, it is easier for us to travel. People used to walk or ride bikes to work, but now they often take buses and many even drive their own cars. In schools, students sit in new teaching buildings instead of old ones. There they not only learn from books but also through the Internet.
I hope we will live a better life in the future. I will study much harder from now on so that I can realize my dream.
