21、London and Paris are two of Europe's biggest tourist destinations, just a few hours away from each other by road or rail and an hours distance by air. What about the train-ferry combination that many recall fondly from their childhoods? Well, though it's budget-saving, this option is too time-consuming today, so better leave it to your memories. Since the UK is not part the Schengen Area, passengers need to go through passport control prior to boarding.
Air trips:
Though flying between London and Paris is by no means recommended, there are still a few people traveling between the two dynamic cities by air. A very low one-way fare is possible through advanced booking, but of course it's rare, and that doesn't include the taxi and rail fares traveling to and from the airports.
* One-way fares from Paris can be as low as €49;
* From London, Air France flies with fares as low as £39(€46), and British Airways as low as £48(€56)
Rail trips:
The only direct train between London and Paris is the Eurostar, which travels 15-17 times per weekday. Eurostar’s 2015 edition trains can make the journey in two hours at speeds of up to 320 km/h. Besides, they offer good seating space.
* Fares begin at a reasonable £58(€68), round trip;
* The earlier you book, the more you save.
Bus trip
The bus is by far the least expensive and longest way to travel between Paris and London. Eurolines and OUIBUS are two major bus lines traveling between the two capitals. The journey takes between seven and nine hours. Both lines advertise free Wi-fi.
* One-way Eurolines fares begin at €15;
* One-way OUIBUS fares begin at €15 too, but early bird sales can even lower the fare.

22、Margie even wrote about it that night in her diary. On the page headed May 17, 2157, she wrote, “today, Tommy found a real book!”
It was a very old book. Margie’s grandfather once said that when he was a little boy his grandfather told him that there was a time when all stories were printed on paper.
They turned the pages, which were yellow and crinkly, and it was awfully funny to read words that stood still instead of moving the way they were supposed to-on a screen, you know. And then, when they turned back to the page before, it had the same words on it that it had had when they read it the first time.
“Gee,” said Tommy, “what a waste. When you’re through with the book, you just throw it away, I guess. Our television screen must have had a million books on it and it’s good for plenty more. I wouldn’t throw it away. ”
“What’s it about?” asked Margie.
“School,” said Tommy.
“School? I hate school. ” Margie always hated school, but now she hated it more than ever. The part she hated most was the slot where she had to put homework and test papers. She always had to write them out in a punch code they made her learn when she was six years old, and the mechanical teacher calculated the mark in no time. The mechanical teacher had been giving her test after test in geography and she had been doing worse and worse until her mother had shaken her head sorrowfully and sent for the County Inspector.
The inspector was a round little man with a red face and a whole box of tools with dials and wires. After an hour or so, he finished and said to Margie’s mother, “It’s not the little girl’s fault, Mrs. Jones. I think the geography sector was geared a little too quick. Those things happen sometimes. I’ve slowed it up to an average ten-year level. ”
There it was again, large and black and ugly, with a big screen on which all the lessons were shown and the questions were asked.
【1】When is it that the incident happen?
A.In the 21th century.
B.Hundreds of years ago.
C.In the 22th century.
D.Decades of years ago.
【2】What’s the inspector’s job?
A.Give students tests.
B.Teach students lessons.
C.Meet parents.
D.Adjust the machines.
【3】What does the underlined word “gear” in the second to last paragraph mean?
A.Set.
B.Invent.
C.Plant.
D.Insert.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards lessons on a screen?
A.Positive.
B.Negative.
C.Neutral.
D.Indifferent.
23、The next time San Francisco residents stop a taxi, they may step into a car with no one behind the wheel. Driverless taxis are now allowed to come on the city’s streets. On June 2, 2022, Cruise, a division of General Motors (GM), was approved to charge for rides in its self-driving cars, becoming the first company allowed to operate commercial driverless cars in a major US city.
Though Cruise is regarding it as a big win, its self-driving cars aren’t totally free to run on the streets of San Francisco as they please. Cruise vehicles will be limited to transporting passengers in less crowded areas of the city between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. The speed limit is 30 mph. They are also not allowed to operate in heavy rain or fog. The rules are meant to reduce any injuries or accidents.
Cruise plans to launch the service gradually with a team of just 30 cars. The first robotaxis will be improved versions of GM’s Chevrolet Bolt. However, the company is seeking approval to get its custom-built Cruise Origin on public roads. The driverless electric vehicle has no wheels or pedals(踏板) and can attain highway speeds. The car consists mostly of a siting space, where passengers can face each other.
Cruise’s ability to obtain the commercial permit to operate is a big step forward. However, the company still has to convince passengers that its technology is safe. Many remain concerned about safety. A 2021 survey by the American Automobile Association found that 74 percent of Americans are afraid to ride in a self-driving vehicle.
It remains to be seen how the new driverless taxi experiment will play out in San Francisco. But based on the vast number of companies that are racing to develop self-driving vehicles and the tens of thousands of people on waitlists for robotaxi rides, the Cruise pioneering program is at least set for popularity, if not success.
【1】What can we learn about the Cruise’s driverless ride services?
A.The services have turned out to be a great success.
B.The services receive great support from the public.
C.The services have run in some major cities of the USA.
D.The services are limited to some regions of San Francisco.
【2】What does the author describe in detail in paragraph 3?
A.The feature of Cruise Origin.
B.The future of self-driving cars.
C.The original plan of the company.
D.The new version of Chevrolet Bolt.
【3】What is the attitude of most Americans towards the self-driving taxis?
A.Doubtful.
B.Opposed.
C.Favourable.
D.Unconcerned.
【4】What can be the best title of the text?
A.Cruise Offers Free Self-driving Ride Services
B.Self-driving Cars Are Coming to San Francisco
C.Self-driving Vehicles Are Popular in Major Cities
D.Companies Begin to Charge for Rides in Self-driving Cars
