The prototype(雏形), a fifty-passenger single-deck vehicle, is to go into operation in Manchester shortly, and hopefully, another twenty will go into regular passenger service within two years in this city and in other cities. Unlike the small government-support battery bus now undergoing trials in provincial cities, whose low speed and range effectively limits it to city-center operation, the new Silent Rider, with a range of 40 miles between charges and a speed of 40 mph, will take its place with diesel (柴油) buses for normal urban and suburban services. Its capital cost is higher (about $120,000 compared with $90,000 ) but lower maintenance and fuel costs bring it down to a fully competitive cost with the diesel bus over a thirteen-year life, without taking into account the environmental benefits. The Chloride battery group, which is developing it in partnership with SELNES (South-East Lancashire and North-East Cheshire Passenger Transport Authority), is confident of a marked potential of 400 vehicles in about one year. The prototype weighs 16 tons, has a single set of batteries, which take three and a half hours to recharge. A larger, Mark II type, is being designed with two sets of batteries which can be charged in under a minute. That will allow low-cost night charging and greater operational flexibility. 1. What could be one of the main reasons preventing the development of battery buses? A. Their limited range. B. Their high cost. C. Their heavy weight. D. Their loud noise. 2. What is the disadvantage of the battery bus supported by the government? A. It is too small to be used in crowded cities. B. Its service is restricted in cities. C. It can only run at a speed of 40 miles per hour. D. Its cost is much higher than that of the diesel bus. 3. What does "Chloride battery group" most probably mean? A. The name of a big corporation. B. A type of bus. C. Group of battery factories. D. The association of bus manufacture. 4. The battery buses will cost less than conventional buses in the long run because A. they spend low capital cost over a long period B. they are stronger and last longer C. they can use cheaper fuel and costless to maintain D. they can be charged at night when electricity costs less 5. Compared with the first model, the second model of two being developed is A. lower in capital cost B. higher in speed C. more suitable for night operation D. more adaptable to driving condition （2） In England nobody under the age of eighteen can drink in a bar.

In 1788,Captain Arthur Philips arrived in Sydney with 11 ships and 1,024 passengers from Britain(including 770 prisoners).Today there are 2.5 million people in Sydney. It is the biggest city in Australia, and one of the most beautiful cities in the world. There are over 20 fine beaches close to Sydney. Its warm summer climate and cool winter have made it a favorite city for immigrants from overseas. There are three things that made Sydney famous---its beautiful harbor, the Sydney Harbor Bridge, and the Sydney Opera House. But there are many more interesting things in Sydney: beautiful shops and threstaurant, for example, rows of interesting old houses built in the 19 century, and everywhere, the sea. Summer or winter, day or night, Sydney is an outdoor city. Some Americans think it is very British. Some British visitors think it is like America. There is some truth in both these opinions, because Sydney takes from both the Old World---Europe, and the New World--- America, and makes it into something that is neither British nor American but truly Australian. 1.
