Question

【題目】

It has been a dream for 30 years but now the world’s first flying car is set to hit the roads this year.

Ever since the “Back to the Future” movies lit up our screens in the 1980s， designers have dream of cars that could take to the sky at the push of a button. And now pilots can order their own “roadable” plane for just t 127，000.

The plane， which has fold- out wings that span（翼展）17.5f， has a range（連續(xù)的） flying distance of 460 miles and can be up to 115 mph. Back on the land， it can also travel at “highway speeds” in car mode（狀態(tài)）

Fuelling the 19 ft long plane couldn't be simpler-you just drive it into a petrol station and fill it up.

A spokeswoman said，"You can keep your light-sport airplane in your garage. But because it needs a short runway to take to the air， you will have to drive to your local airport， fly up to 460 miles， land， and drive directly to your destination. You will always be ready to drive or fly."

The spokeswoman added， "Never let bad weather change your trip. You can simply divert（改道）and continue on the ground until the weather clears.”

There’s no risk to you----this is only the chance for you to be the first at your home field to unfold your wings and fly into the future.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】A

【4】A

【5】C

【解析】

短文主要描述一種新式飛機(jī)：在空中，可展開機(jī)翼高飛；在陸地上收起機(jī)翼, 就是汽車。

【1】句意：根據(jù)上下文描述，“可行駛”飛機(jī)是一種有可折疊的機(jī)翼的汽車。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容可知the“roadable”plane有可折疊的機(jī)翼, 飛行時可展開機(jī)翼；在公路上則是汽車模式。故選B。

【2】句意：我們可以推斷在“回到未來”的電影中，汽車能在空中飛翔。

推理判斷題。短文第二段首句說：...designers have dream of cars that could take to the sky at the push of a button.（……設(shè)計師們夢想著只要按下一個按鈕，汽車就能飛向天空。）由此可推斷，在這類電影中有會飛的汽車。故選D。

【3】句意：第五段加下劃線的“it”是指什么？

詞句猜測題。上文說：You can keep your light-sport airplane in your garage. （你可以把你的輕型運(yùn)動飛機(jī)放在車庫里。）為了避免重復(fù)，下文用it來替代light-sport airplane。而light-sport airplane就是指the“roadable”plane。故選A。

【4】句意：文章最后一句的目的是號召人們購買“可行駛”飛機(jī)。

推理判斷題。文章最后一句的句意是：“對你來說沒有風(fēng)險——這只是一個機(jī)會，讓你成為第一個在你的主場展開你的翅膀，飛向未來的人�！庇纱丝赏茢�，它的目的是號召人們購買“可行駛”飛機(jī)。故選A。

【5】句意：如果你在空中的“可行駛”飛機(jī)上遇到雷雨，你可以在陸地上開車直到天氣好轉(zhuǎn)。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第六段第二句說：You can simply divert and continue on the ground until the weather clears.（你可以簡單地改道，繼續(xù)在地面行駛，直到天氣轉(zhuǎn)晴。）由此可推斷，如果遇到不好的天氣, 你可以在陸地上開車直到天氣好轉(zhuǎn)。故選C。
