The mini-bus-like machine didn’t win anyone over with its looks, but it surely made people remember how it worked. It runs with usual wheels on the road. But when it needs to switch (改变) to train mode (模式), the front wheels are moved, while the back wheels stay down to push the machine run. Switching between bus and train models takes only about 15 seconds. This DMV can reach any place in the town as a bus and move onto the railways as well. We expect it to be a very good transport for old people to travel in the city. The elders will find it easy to get on and get off. The DMV has been in work for many years. Its workers hope that it will not only improve the lives of people but also make people in other places interested in Dual-Mode Vehicles. The makers believe that a number of people will try taking the DMV. The Dual-Mode Vehicles can carry up to 21 passengers and run at a speed of 60km/h in the train mode and up to 100km/h as a bus. The machine will cover parts of the cities near the sea. The trips will offer passengers special experience of seeing beautiful sea and sky. 43. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A.

The mini-bus-like machine didn’t win anyone over with its looks, but it surely made people remember how it worked. It runs with usual wheels on the road. But when it needs to switch (改变) to train mode (模式), the front wheels are moved, while the back wheels stay down to push the machine run. Switching between bus and train models takes only about 15 seconds. This DMV can reach any place in the town as a bus and move onto the railways as well. We expect it to be a very good transport for old people to travel in the city. The elders will find it easy to get on and get off. The DMV has been in work for many years. Its workers hope that it will not only improve the lives of people but also make people in other places interested in Dual-Mode Vehicles. The makers believe that a number of people will try taking the DMV. The Dual-Mode Vehicles can carry up to 21 passengers and run at a speed of 60km/h in the train mode, and up to 100km/h as a bus. The machine will cover parts of the cities near the sea. The trips will offer passengers special experience of seeing beautiful sea and sky. 43. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A.

One day, he went on a trip to some faraway areas of his country. When he came back, he said that his feet were in great pain because he had walked a long way and the roads were rough (不平) and were full of stones. He was angry and then came up with an idea. He asked his people to cover every road in the country with leather (皮革). But that would need so much leather and cost lots of money. One of his advisors was very clever. He came forward to tell the king, “My dear king, I have a simple way to solve the problem. You don’t have to spend so much money. Why don’t you just cut a piece of leather out to cover your feet?” The king was surprised. But he still followed the advice and had shoes made of leather for him. There is a great lesson of life in this story. One problem may have different solutions (解决办法). If you look at the problem from different points, you may find the best solution. 52.
