VI. Read the text, and then answer the questions.
It is a computer drawing of the plane of the future. British engineers and scientists have
published plans for a new hypersonic plane called the A2. It will be very fast. At the
moment, a flight from London in the UK to Sydney in Australia takes about twenty-one
hours but with the A2 the same flight will take about four hours.
The flight will fly at 4,500 kilometers per hour and will fly at an altitude of over 10,000
meters.
It will carry 300 passengers but it won't have any windows because scientists haven't
found glass that is strong enough. It will be better for the environment than other planes
because the engines won't produce gases that cause pollution.
In the future, will people travel from London to Australia for the weekend? It's possible!
But how much will a ticket cost? The planners say that it won't be very expensive – about
£2,000. The A2 will be ready for its first flight next year.

V. Read the text and decide if the following statements are True or False or Not Given according to the
text
Travelling in the future
Transport today is mostly powered by fossil fuel. The reason for this is the ease of use and the
existence of mature technologies harnessing this fuel source. The drawbacks are that they are heavily
polluting and rely on limited natural resources. There are many proposals to harness renewable forms
of energy, to use fossil fuel more efficiently, or to use human power, or some hybrid of these, to
move people and things.
The list below contains some forms of transport not in general use, but considered as possibilities
in the future.
A hyper loop is a proposed mode of passenger and/or freight transportation. A hyper loop is a
sealed tube or system of tubes through which a pod may travel free of air resistance or friction
conveying people or objects at high speed while being very efficient.
A dual-mode vehicle is a vehicle that can run on conventional road surfaces or a dedicated track
known as a guide way. Dual-mode vehicles are commonly electrically powered and run in dual-mode
for power too, using batteries for short distance and low speeds, and track-fed power for longer
distances and higher speeds.
A jet pack, rocket belt or rocket pack is a device, usually worn on the back, which uses jets of gas
(or in some cases liquid) to propel the wearer through the air.
1. A hyper loop can convey people or object at high speed.
A. True B. False C. Not given
2. A hyper loop can run on rails.
3. A dual-mode vehicle can run only on conventional road surface.
4. Dual-mode vehicles can run on batteries for short distance and low speeds.
5. A jet pack works like a helicopter.
6. With a jet pack, a user can fly in the air.
VI. Rewrite each sentence so that it contains the word in brackets.
1. Harry is one of my friends. (mine)
_____________________________________________________________________.
2. That idea was theirs. (their)

II. Fill in each gap with a word from the box

Vacuum through line developing emissions high difficult twice
Hyperloop, as the name suggests, is a sealed tube or system of tubes(1)__________ which a pod may
travel free of air resistance or friction conveying people or objects at(2)______________ speed. Tesla
and Hyperloop One are two of the biggest companies that are developing Hyperloop.
Hyperloop would allow passengers to travel at a top speed of 600 miles per hour, which is more
than(3)__________________the highest speed of the fastest train while being independent from
weather conditions, and producing zero(4)___________________
Tesla has also built a 500-meter test track in Nevada. But there are (5)_______ challenges in the
development of Hyperloop, including the painstaking task of building a (6)___________tube over
hundreds of miles of land and investing billions of dollars. Other than that, the Hyperloop must travel
only in a straight (7)____________ so passengers don’t fall ill. Getting environmental and other
clearances for the purpose of hyperloop is a(8)___________ task and a lot of people assume it to be
overblown and extravagant.
III. 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
11
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.
1. 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.
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. According to the passage, which statement is NOT true.
a. Each ET3 capsule can carry up to six people.
b. We don’t know how to build its capsules
c. Speed in ET3 system is 6,500 km/h for international travel.
d. ET3 can travel a little faster than an airplane.
5. 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.
6. What can be inferred from the passage?

V.Read the text and choose the correct answers A, B, C or D.
You used to go to a travel agency to plan your trips, and book air tickets, accommodation and
visas. Today, we do all those things by ourselves.
Twenty years ago, you will need to bring along air tickets, vouchers, travel cheques, and a heavy
carry-on bag with Walkman, CDs, travel journal and etc. The load is so much lighter now since most
stuff can be stored in our tablets or smartphones. Technology is amazing isn't it?
Airport security was a brief back then. They used metal cutleries and gave all passengers bags of
toiletries to keep them comfortable during the flight. Now, there are many limitations on things that
we can and cannot bring on board. Thanks to "Everyone can fly" tagline, airlines had to reduce their
services to stay afloat. So more people can fly and travel now.
Two decades ago, if you wish to call home, you can only do it at an International
Telecommunications Exchange and dial you home number with no guarantee that it will get through.

VII. Read the passage and decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE.
Canadian English is the type of English that is used by Canadians. It is like American English in
terms of vocabulary, but its grammar is like that of British English.
Canadian English is generally taught in schools using British ways of spelling, such as colour,
flavour, and so on. However, the word themselves are usually American, in part because Canadians
watch a lot of American TV shows and listen to a lot of American pop musiC. Rarely, the British
form of words may be replaced with American forms, such as plow, programme, and so on.
The main exception to this rule is terms related to cars and the auto industry. Because Canada's
auto industry has always been dominated by American firms, Canadians use American words and
spelling for such terms. Canadians and Americans spell the outer rubber portion of a wheel as tire
instead of tyre, put gasoline or gas in their vehicles instead of petrol, store items in the trunk instead
of the boot, and may drive a truck instead of a lorry.
Canadian English is different from other forms of English in its spoken form also. The dialects
vary from sounding overtly English to an indistinguishable form very similar to those spoken in the
northern states.
1. Canadian English is like American English in terms of grammar. ________
2. Canadian English use British ways of spelling. ________
