【题目】Hyperloop: the train of the future?

We’re going through the Nevada desert, north of Las Vegas, for having a look at what its supporters believe is the future of transport. This is Hyperloop - an attempt to send passengers rushing at 700 miles an hour through a vacuum tube.

Many think that’s impossible, but this project came back last year of virgin America Inc. with Sir Richard Branson becoming chari-man. In this 500-metre test track, they say they have shown that the technology works, though they’ve not yet put any human beings on board. The head of engineering, a space scientist from NASA, sees no reason why people might be frightened.

Anita Sengupta, Head of Engineering, Virgin Hyperloop One

“The Hyperloop is a maglev train in a vacuum system. And so you can also think of it as an aircraft flying at 200,000 feet high so people don’t have any problem flying in aeroplanes and people don’t have any problem going in maglev trains. This is simply joining the two and allows you to be more energy - saving.” The Virgin Hyperloop team have said they could take passengers from London to Edinburgh in 50 minutes or cut the journey between. New York and Boston to under half an hour.

Did you know?

The word ‘maglev’ is a combination(结合)of the words ‘magnetic’ and ‘levitation’. This is because the system uses magnets to levitate(使浮起)the train. This reduces friction(摩擦力)-- the force that makes it difficult for things to move freely when they are touching each other -- and increases speed. The first maglev train operated in Hamburg, Germany in 1979.

1You are likely to see Hyperloop in ________.

A.City of Las VegasB.Nevada DesertC.NASA BaseD.Hamburg, Germany

2Hyperloop didn’t get support until ________.

A.human beings were put on boardB.the vacuum tube was completed last year

C.Sir Richard Branson became chairmanD.scientists solved two problems of transport

3The underlined word “attempt”can be replaced by “________’.

A.effectB.effortC.eventD.example

4A maglev train is fast because it can ________.

A.rise to 200,000 feet highB.rush in a vacuum tube

C.float because of the magnetsD.reduce friction of the air

5Which of the following statement is TRUE?

A.Head of the Virgin Hyperloop Team is a space scientist.

B.The first maglev train was invented in the Untied States.

C.Most people have confidence in the Hyperloop project.

D.Hyperloop has sent passengers from New York to Boston.

6What is the Hyperloop? The Hyperloop is ________.

A.a vacuum tube testing a maglev train system

B.an aeroplane flying at 700miles an hour

C.a maglev train floating on the railway tracks
