3 . Last Thursday, the world’s first self-driving, electric container ship made its first trip to Oslo, Norway. The ship’s owners aim to cut pollution by transporting large quantities of products by water on the southern coastal of Norway instead of by truck.

The ship, called the Yara Burkeland, is owned by Yara, a company that makes fertilizer (肥料). The company wanted to develop a zero-emission (零排放的) ship that was completely self-driving. Yara worked with a ship-building company called Vard and the technology company Kongsberg to develop the ship. The company says that in the future everything, including loading and unloading the ship, will be handled completely automatically.

The Yara Birkeland can carry 120 large containers like those pulled by trucks. But the ship is fully electric and is powered by batteries. The company says the ship has roughly as many batteries as 100 electric cars. The electricity that will be used to recharge the batteries is from renewable hydroelectric (水力发电) sources, so there’s no pollution at all.

The Yara Birkeland won’t usually be going to Oslo, and it won’t be traveling far, either. It will travel along a regular route from Yara’s factory in Porsgrunn up to the port in Brevik. By road, that’s a distance of about 14 kilometers. Yara normally uses diesel-powered (柴油动力的) trucks to move fertilizer between these locations.

Now, with the Yara Birkeland moving huge amounts of fertilizer by water, the company expects to suspend 40,000 yearly trips by diesel-powered trucks. That will prevent about one million kilograms of carbon emissions every year.

In the future, as an autonomous ship, the Yara Birkeland is expected to operate without any human involved. Yara plans to spend the next two years improving and testing the ship. But, as with many autonomous cars, the ship will continue to have humans watching over even if it is driving by itself.

1. Why will the products be delivered by ship rather than by truck?

A．To reduce the transport costs.	B．To shorten their delivery time.
C．Out of environmental concern.	D．Out of concern for their safety.

2. What can be learned about the Yara Bikeland?

A．It uses natural gas as power.	B．It has more than one developers.
C．It is a completely self-driving ship.	D．It belongs to the government.

3. How does the author mainly introduce the ship and its influence?

A．By listing figures.	B．By giving examples.
C．By presenting reasons.	D．By following time order.

4. What does the underlined word “suspend” in Paragraph 5 mean?

B．Stick to.

C．Cut out.

D．Turn to.

7 . How did the man go to meet the woman?
