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 around four hours.
The flight will fly at 4,500 kilometres per hour and will fly at an
altitude of over 10,000 metres.
It will carry 300 passengers but it don’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!
Both 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 in 2020.

II. Read the following passage carefully, then do as directed : (5 marks)
Thinking about how we will be travelling in 10 or 20 years is very interesting. Will we still be using planes or will we be flying our cars from Paris to London? Here are some suggestions.
- SkyTrain: Currently being developed at NASA, SkyTrain looks like the monorail at Disney World. Moving at 240km/h and using small amount of energy, it could be the future of city transportation. SkyTrain has the passenger capacity of a 6-lane highway.
- Flying cars: Zhu Wenxi and Lai Zexin, Chinese students, have designed a solar-powered flying car that doesn’t need a runway to take off. If you have about 200 hundred thousand dollars, you will own this vehicle soon.
- An electric mininus: The minibus Cameo, designed by Martin Pes, can carry 32 passengers but it is small enough to get its way out of a traffic jam. Its electric motor and low weight mean that it can be recharged in seconds while stopping and it has zero emission.
- An eco-taxi: Taxis are bad for the environment and traffic jams. We enter eco-taxi, and individual taxis form a train powered by solar panels.
