No rules, no games. 没有规矩，不成方圆。 九年级英语Unit 8综合练习 姓名：_________________ 得分：___________________ 一、阅读理解。 A（2022湖南株洲） Japan recently showed the world's first Dual-Mode Vehicle (DMV), a mini-bust like train which runs both on roads, like a bus, and on rails, like a train. It looks just like a bus but it definitely makes an impression in terms of practical use. It runs with normal rubber tires （轮胎）on the road. But when it needs to become the train mode, the front tires will be lifted up, and the back wheels stay down to push the vehicle. The change from bus to train takes only about 15 seconds. "The DMV can work as a bus and run onto the railway as well," Shigeki Miura, CEO of As a Coast Railway, told Reuters."We expect it to help many old people in the countryside. We also hope it can attract tourists with its many beautiful colors." It can carry up to 21 passengers and run at a speed of 60 km/h in train mode, and up to 100 km/h as a bus. Shigeki Miura also told the news reporter confidently that the special vehicle could help small towns like Kaiyo with an aging and shrinking（减少的）population. In these places, it is more and more difficult for conventional（传统的）transportation companies to make money. In the near future, many more DMVs will connect several towns, covering part of the coast of Shikoku island and offering passengers pretty seaside views. 1. According to the passage, DMV is ______.
