26、D. Rootie SimmsC.British engineer at a company called Reaction Engines, have successfully tested a whole new kind of jet engine, named Sabre, Financial Times is reporting; so much so that the time of long-distance flight could be halved, or even quartered Britains Orange News says jets with the new

27、engine could fly from London to Sydney in four hours, instead of the usual twelve to sixteen and Mail Online adds that new engine not only allows for faster travel but pollutes less and the fuel for it costs less as well. The secret to the new engine is patented and this new technology very quickly

28、changes air from normal temperature to super-cold temperature .This means the engine can run faster without breaking apart due to overheating , which keeps most modern jets from traveling faster. The engine is air-breathing and uses hydrogen as its fuel source. In addition to flying faster, a jet wi

29、th the new engine would also fly much higher, allowing for an event faster flight in the very thin air. Because of the very high speed produced by the engine and the high altitude, a jet with Sabre in it would not have any windows. This is the biggest breakthrough in jet technology since the inventi

30、on of the jet engine, and they expect new aircraft with the new engine to be traveling in the sky in just ten years. They also note that tests of the engine were overseen by the European Space Agency which has now wholly supported the new engine and has event begun talking about booking flight time

31、with future jets that could be used to deliver satellites into orbit around the Earth. This technology is not something that happens overnight. Instead, it is the result of many years hard work by thousands of engineers from over seventeen countries. Research has suggested that , with advances in je

32、t plane technology to match the engine, flights could eventually reach speeds of nearly 20,000 miles per hour, making travel to distant parts of the globe as quick and simple as driving across town.28.

36、destroy it. Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity（机会）and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed-no examination is perfect-but to have no external( 外部的 )tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are

37、 groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in external examinations or in any controls in schools or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency（实力）,the ideal and the purpose of each teacher. Without ext

38、ernal examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them - a form of favoritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates（证书）to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while

39、the lack of a certificate shows the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well-respected school. This defence of excellence and opportunity would disappear if external examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her schools fame（名誉）,unable

40、to compete for employment with the child from the favoured school. The opponents（对手）of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even sugge

41、sted that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer. These people are not just against school organisation, but are at war

42、 with the whole idea of modem competitive society and they are using children in schools for their destructive（破坏性的）purposes. There is no reason why we should allow such people to determine the way our schools are organised when it is to the obvious disadvantage of the pupils, of the schools and of
