Conversation one6. How many pre-constructed sections are made on land? A. 54,000. B. 45,000. C. 50,000.7. Whats the

19、 main difference between maglev trains and conventional trains? A. Maglev trains travel on rails. B. Maglev trains dont have wheels. C. Maglev trains travel at 300km/h.8.

21、cently about extreme engineering. And one of the most amazing and astonishing ideas is a rail tunnel under the Atlantic Ocean, linking New York and London. With me in the studio to discuss this is Professor Massa. Welcome to the program, professor.W: Thank you.M: So, the first question, how would th

22、e transatlantic tunnel be built?W: Well, it will be built in pre-constructed sections.M: Urn, pre-constructed sections?W: Yes, they would be made on land, and then put together under the sea.M: Oh, how many of them?W: Fifty-four thousand.6 They will be held in place by giant anchors which will be fi

23、xed to the bottom of the ocean. The tunnel will float 200 meters under the surface.M: Amazing. And now as I understand it, the train running through this tunnel would be a magnetically levitated train, is that right? So what is a magnetically levitated train?W: A magnetically levitated train, or mag

24、lev, isnt like a conventional train. It doesnt have wheels and doesnt travel on rails.7 It travels in the vacuum between two magnets. The idea about it is an old one invented in Germany over seventy years ago.8M: And how fast does it travel?W: At the moment, a maglev train can travel at about 500km

25、per hour. However, it will be possible for it to travel at 6,000km per hour.M: Are you serious?W: The journey from New York to London is about 5000km, and it will take 54 minutes. M: How is this possible?W: Well, ordinary trains travel on rails, so they can only reach a speed of around 300km per hou

26、r, and they are also very noisy. Maglev trains dont use rails, so theres no noise.9 Theres no pollution. The train would be fast, comfortable and quiet. The disadvantage is that the tracks should be specially built and they are very expensive indeed.M: And will the transatlantic tunnel be safe?W: We

27、ll, safety is the big problem. The ocean is very powerful, and the tunnel could be bent or cracked.10 Also a passing submarine or a drifting iceberg could hit the tunnel. Conversation Two11.

37、nd what do these people report back to you? What do they say? Is it rewarding?M: They love it. They come back with renewed interest, a renewed sense of vigor.

39、were growing. And we want to continue that growth then start to expand in the United States and in Britain and in Australia.W: And how do you find the funding?M: We have some great corporate citizens who stepped up and took the lead on this. Suncor Energy Foundation and Ontario Power Generation, for

40、 example, and a few other similar-type organizations have given us the seed funding to keep this going.15 What we need to do now is to start approaching individuals in the community whore willing to support this project, as well as other corporations and government funding for development relief.W:
