题文

If cars had wings, they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2011.The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to make such a car-plane called “Transition”, to customers(顾客) by the end of 2012. “It’s the next ‘wow’ vehicle,”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh. “Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don’t fly.” The car-plane has wings that unfold for flying—a process the company says takes one minute-and fold back up for driving. A runway is still needed to take off and land. The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations. The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as an easier and cheaper way to fly.They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you’re good to go.When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don’t have to store it at an airport—you leave it in the car park at home. The car-plane is designed to fly under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum take-off weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. The Transition’s price tag: $194,000, But there may be something else you need to pay, like a radio, transponder or GPS and so on. So far, the company has more than 70 orders. “We’re working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps,” Brown said. 小题1:We can learn from the first paragraph that _________. A．car-planes will be popular in 2012 B．people might drive a car-plane in 2012 C．both Transition and Ferrari can take off and land D．Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts 小题2:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

B．A car-plane with radio and GPS will cost $194,000 C．The car-plane may fly at 8,000 feet D．People can park the car-plane in the car park at their home. 小题3:Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “unfold” on this passage? A．start B．spread C．cover D．travel 小题4:What’s the best title for the passage? A．Cars With Wings May come true soon B．A Ferrari or a Car Plane C．A Easier and Cheaper Way to Fly D．Cars With Wings Can Fly as Fast as Planes

试题分析：如果汽车有翅膀，可以飞。这件事能实现吗？在2011年，美国的一家公司就有了这种想法，现在正在进行研发。这种汽车在行驶中会花一点时间来展开折叠的翅膀。虽然这款车的价格是很贵的。但是公司还是接到超过70台的订单。 小题1:细节理解题。问题：从第一自然段中你了解了什么？分析原文：it plans to make such a car-plane called “Transition”, to customers(顾客) by the end of 2012. 句意：计划将这个车称为“Transition”,争取在2012年让顾客使用。故选B 小题2:细节理解题。问题：依据短文，描述不正确的是哪一项？分析原文:The Transition’s price tag: $194,000, But there may be something else you need to pay, like a radio, transponder or GPS and so on.句意：它的价格：194000美元。你还要支付像一个广播，应答机或GPS等。所以说这只是一个车的费用。故选B 小题3:细节理解题。问题：与划线词意思相近的单词是哪一个？分析原文： The car-plane has wings that unfold for flying—a process the company says takes one minute-and fold back up for driving. 句意：对于机械的翅膀是不折叠的，公司说要用一分钟的时间来折叠为了方便行驶。因此表示展开之意与第二项符合。故选B 小题4:细节理解题。问题：短文的最佳题目是哪一个？通过对短文的中心句第一段的全面理解，从中得知是有翅膀的汽车在不久就会实现。故选A
