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 dreamt of cars that could take to the sky at the push of a button(按鈕). And now pilots can order their own “roadable” plane for just￡127, 000.

The plane, which has fold-out wings that span 17. 5 feet, can be up to 115 mph. Back on the land, it can also travel at “highway speeds” in car mode(模式).

Fuelling(加燃料)the 19 feet 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(目的地). You will always be ready to drive or fly. ”

The spokeswoman added, “Never let bad weather change your trip. You can simply divert(使轉(zhuǎn)向)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(展開(kāi))your wings and fly into the future.

A. can fly in the sky at “highway speeds” in car mode

B. is a kind of car with fold-out wings

C. is a little difficult to fuel　

D. can only travel on the highway

3.What does the underlined word “it” in the 5th paragraph refer to?

【解析】人們做了三十年的夢(mèng)終于成真了, 有一種飛機(jī)飛行時(shí)展開(kāi)機(jī)翼, 在空中高飛; 在陸地上收起機(jī)翼, 就是汽車(chē)。

1.選B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容可知這種飛機(jī)有可折疊的機(jī)翼, 飛行時(shí)可展開(kāi)機(jī)翼; 在公路上則是汽車(chē)模式。故選B項(xiàng)。

2.2】選D。推理判斷題。第二段第一句說(shuō)這類電影點(diǎn)燃了人們的夢(mèng)想: 一按按鈕, 汽車(chē)就能飛到空中。可推知在這類電影中有會(huì)飛的汽車(chē), 故選D項(xiàng)。

3.3】選A。詞義猜測(cè)題。上一句中說(shuō)到你可以把它放到車(chē)庫(kù)中, 由于它需要跑道才能飛到空中, 可推知這里的it指的是前文提到的light-sport airplane。

4.4】選A。推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的意思, 這樣的“汽車(chē)”飛機(jī)對(duì)你沒(méi)有危險(xiǎn), 只是讓你有機(jī)會(huì)成為第一個(gè)可以在家就能展開(kāi)機(jī)翼, 飛向未來(lái)的人, 可推知在號(hào)召人們購(gòu)買(mǎi)這樣的飛機(jī)。

5.5】選C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第六段中的“You can simply divert and continue on the ground until the weather clears. ”可知如果遇到不好的天氣, 你可以在陸地上開(kāi)車(chē)直到天氣好轉(zhuǎn)。故選C項(xiàng)。

Think of London and you will probably remember the bright red double-decker buses. Think of Thailand’s capital city, Bangkok, and the noisy tuk-tuks may come to mind. Think of San Francisco and you might see the city’s cable cars.

Imagining what these cities would look like without those is difficult. They are symbols of these cities that make them different. However, these city symbols are not always so well loved by their city leaders. City leaders want what is best for their city, which often means the most modern transport.

In Bangkok, city leaders have banned(禁止)tuk-tuks because they consider them noisy and polluting. However, the ban has largely been unsuccessful as it has not changed Thai people’s love for the cheap tuk-tuks over taxis.

In London the city’s first ever mayor(市長(zhǎng))removed the red double-decker buses, which he thought were old fashioned. His plan worked, but Londoners were unhappy to lose the nice old buses they believed represented the best of their city. They made their unhappiness felt when the mayor came up for re-election. Most Londoners voted for his competitor, who promised to bring the bus back.

As for San Francisco, several cable cars are still in use but mainly as tourist attractions. They are too slow to be used for anything other than scenic trips.

City transport symbols may have a place in their city people’s hearts, but it seems they are increasingly out of step with the modern world. As Londoners have proved, their continued life depends on people’s willingness to fight for their survival.

1. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the first paragraph?

A. To introduce some city transport symbols.

B. To explain why some cities are popular.

C. To talk about modern transport in some cities.

D. To attract more tourists to visit some cities.

2.The London double-decker bus is returning mainly because　　　.

A. the new mayor loves it

B. Londoners fought for it

C. it is an improved transport

D. it is popular with tourists

3. Which proves the old city transport symbols are not loved by city leaders?

A. Only a few cable cars are still in use in San Francisco.

B. Bangkok city leaders tried to remove the cheap tuk-tuks.

C. The mayor who sold double-decker buses lost the re-election.

D. The new mayor will bring back improved double-decker buses.

4. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Modern cities should remove old city transport symbols.

B. The writer thinks highly of the old city transport symbols.

C. Old city transport symbols face the problem of survival.

D. Tourist cities will lose their attraction without the symbols.

Living in a modern society has its advantages and disadvantages. One disadvantage is that you often have to live closer to other people than you would like to. Sometimes, your neighbors make noise that you are not comfortable with.

The best way to solve this problem is to talk with your neighbor first. You should be very polite and ask your neighbor if he knows how thin the walls of your homes are. This way doesn’t criticize(批評(píng))his behavior; it simply points out that he may not realize how far his sound travels. Tell him that you know that sometimes you make noise as well, but that you do your best to keep it down. Often this will solve the problem right away, but sometimes the neighbor may become angry.

If your neighbor becomes angry with you, there are some more steps you can take. You might write a letter to the neighborhood committee. Make sure you write down the source of the noise and the time in the letter. They will review the situation and decide whether your neighbor is out of line. Some noise is considered to be reasonable, even if it bothers you. So you may prepare a good pair of earplugs(耳塞).

Even if your neighbor makes too much noise, you don’t have to live your life in discomfort. It’s always a good idea to be friendly with your neighbors. You may clean the rubbish in front of his door. He’s sure to appreciate behavior like this and be more open to your suggestions about noise level.

1. What is the first step to deal with the noisy neighbor?

A. To buy a good pair of earplugs.

B. To offer suggestions to the neighbor.

C. To ask the neighborhood committee for help.

D. To tell the neighbor how bad his behavior is.

A. terrible　　B. loud　　C. proper　　D. unpleasant

3. What should be written in the letter to the neighborhood committee?

A. How to punish your noisy neighbor.

B. Where and when the noise appears.

C. How to make the noise less in the neighborhood.

D. What problems the noise causes to your life.

4.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A. You should control your noise as well.

B. You can live comfortably even if there is noise.

C. Your neighbor may be friendlier than you think.
