III. Read the following text and choose the best answer.
THE TRAM SYSTEM IN HA NOI:
THEN AND NOW
Ha Noi had its first tramways in 1900. The tram system was a major means of transport in the city for
nine decades and thus the image of the tram and its clanging sounds have gone deep into
the hearts and minds of Hanoians. Since it was convenient and cheap to get around the city and
to the suburban areas by tram, the system was very popular. However, due to the population boom and
the need for a wider road system, the last rail track was removed.
Now, after more than 20 years, the population of Ha Noi has risen from about two million people to
more than six million people; therefore, the number of vehicles on the roads has increased dramatically.
To meet the increasing travel demands, Ha Noi is launching its first skytrain system, connecting Cat
Linh and Ha Dong. The system is expected to begin operations by 2016, with initial four-compartment
skytrains. Furthermore, a new rail system project including around eight kilometers of skytrain rail and
four kilometres of subway rail, connecting Ha Noi Central Station and Nhon, has also been under
construction and is expected to be completed in a few years.
1. The tram system was built in __________.
A. the 18th century
B. the 19th century
C. the 20th century
D. the 21st century
2. The population of Ha Noi has risen by over __________after more than 20 years.
A. two million people
B. four million people
C. five million people
D. six million people
3. Hanoians were deeply attached to their __________.
A. tram system
B. train system
C. skytrain system
D. subway system
4. Which one is NOT true about a new rail system project, connecting Ha Noi Central Station and
