M: Ground transportation services. How can I help you?

W: I have seven guests coming to visit for the holidays, and I want to know how I can get them from the airport to my house.

M: Okay, are you familiar with our door-to door shuttle service?

W: Yes, I’ve used it myself. The thing is, at 50 dollars a person. That means 350 dollars for seven people. It’s a little expensive.

M: How about hiring our mini bus?

W: How much is it?

M: It costs 150 dollars, and can drive straight from the airport to your house.

W: Oh, that sounds great. Can I make a reservation now?

M: Sure, but I’ll need the flight information for your guests.

W: Sorry, I don’t have the information now. I’ll call you back.

M: Okay. Goodbye.

Woman Uses Daughter's Key to "Steal" Car
Charlie Vansant, a college student of Athens, Ohio, who reported that his car was stolen, got a surprise when he learned a woman had mistaken it for her daughter's car and taken it — using her key.
Kate Anderson became an accidental car thief when picking up her daughter's car near an Ohio University building last week. Anderson spotted the Toyota Camry(丰田凯美瑞)and used her daughter's key to unlock the car, start the engine and drive home — without realizing that the car wasn't her daughter's.
When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later, he found only an empty parking spot. He first assumed the car had been towed, but when the police couldn't find a record of it, they took a theft(偷窃) report.
The morning after Anderson took the car, her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn't hers. Anderson said she was able to find Vansant's name on paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university.
When Anderson told Charlie the car was in her driveway, "It sounded really suspicious at first, as she wanted to hold the thing for ransom (赎金) , ” said Vansant. He eventually went to the house with a police officer, where he was reunited with his car. According to the police report, the case was closed "because of mistaken car identity", and Anderson wasn't charged.
Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the "thief". "Her key fit not only my lock, but my ignition(点火装置)as well — so high-five for Toyota, I guess." he said.
(1)What does the underlined word "towed" mean in paragraph 3?
A.sold
B.damaged.

(2)Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Mrs. Anderson's daughter discovered the car her mother drove was not hers.
B.Mrs. Anderson stole Charlie's car at the request of her daughter.
C.Charlie had thought he had to give Anderson money to get his car back.
D.Mrs. Anderson used her daughter's key to unlock Charlie's car and drive home.
(3)What does Charlie mean by "high-five for Toyota"?
A.He should thank Toyota for returning his car.
B.He thinks highly of Toyota for producing large quantities of cars.
C.He wants to celebrate with Toyota for getting his car back.
D.He is blaming Toyota for the poor quality of car keys.
(4)What is likely to happen next according to the passage?
A.Mrs. Anderson was charged with stealing a car.
B.Charlie blamed Mrs. Anderson for mistakenly taking his car.
C.The Toyota Company would give Charlie a new car as compensation.
D.Charlie would ask the Toyota Company to give him an explanation.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
On a Saturday morning earlier this September, the world got its first look at the Strati. This electric vehicle is unlike any other currently on the road. It rolls on four wheels, but its body and chassis(底盘) weren't built in a factory. Instead, Strati's designers used a technology called 3-D printing. It created those parts of the car in one piece, from the ground up.
“Compared to a typical vehicle on the road, the Strati definitely looks different,” says Greg Schroeder, a senior research engineer at the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Mich. He did not work on the new car. His organization studies trends and changes in th e auto industry.
It took 44 hours to print the new car at the International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago. Over the next few days, the car's designers installed additional parts. These included the car's engine, brakes and tires. Then, early on September 13, Jay Rogers climbed into the car, started its engine and drove the vehicle onto the street. Rogers helped found Local Motors. It's the Arizona-based company behind the Strati. Two weeks later, his team printed a second Strati, and just as fast, at a fair in New York City.
Justin Fishkin, a local Motors official, sees the Strati as a window into the future. Today, car buyers are limited in their choice of a vehicle. They can order only what car companies have already designed. But in the future, he says, you may be able to design your own car online and then get it printed to order.
Manufacturing experts say 3-D printing has begun to revolutionize how they make things. The technology has been around for decades. But these machines used to be so expensive that only large companies could afford them. In the last few years, though, that has changed. Many of the machines are now inexpensive enough for small companies—or even individuals —to own. Some local libraries make them available to the public. High Schools are beginning to use them in classrooms. Wide access to these printers means people can now design and print a wide variety of new things.
The car's printer is a one-of-a-kind device.
The technology behind the 3-D printer used in Chicago is an example of additive manufacturing. This proce ss builds solid objects, slice by slice, from the bottom up. (“Strati” means layers, in Italian.) A mechanical arm moves a nozzle from one side to another, back and forth. As it moves, the nozzle deposits a liquid—often melted plastic or metal (but it could be food, concrete or even cells) —that quickly hardens or bonds to become solid or semi-solid. This creates a single, thin layer. Once a layer is complete, the printer starts depositing the next one.
“There's a lot of interest in 3-D printing in the auto industry,” says Schroeder. Right now, the technology is particularly useful for building models of cars or car parts.
To compete with current auto manufacturers, the 3-D printer would have to increase in a hurry, Schroeder says. By contrast, he notes, a Ford F-150 pickup truck rolls off an assembly line at a rate of roughly one per minute. To print as many Stratis would require many more printers. Schroeder says he doesn't see 3-D printing soon taking over for such high-volume manufacturing. But, he adds, “Who knows what will h appen in the long term?”
Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee designed the 3-D printer used in Chicago. Lonnie Love, a research scientist at the lab, led the effort.
Additive manufacturing often is slow and expensive. It also may produce materials that are unreliable, Love says. So for two years, his team searched for ways to make 3-D printing better. They built new machines and tested them over and over.
All of that work paid off: their new machine is fast and uses less expensive material than earlier printers. In addition, it prints a plastic embedded with fibers of carbon to produce a stronger material. This helps ensure the material won't crack or break under pressure.
(1)Which of the following statements about the first Strati is TRUE?
A.It was born in a car factory in Chicago.
B.All parts of it were not made by using a technology called 3-D technology.
C.It is a pity that it has not run on the street so far.
D.Many senior research engineers worked on it, including Greg Schroeder.
(2)What can we infer from Paragraph 5?
A.Large companies are always rich enough to buy expensive things.
B.Now High Schools are beginning to use 3-D printers in classrooms.
C.Wide access to 3-D printers has made it possible for people to order novel things online.
D.High prices of new products can stop them from being used widely in the beginning.
(3)What does the word “nozzle” in Paragraph 7 possibly refer to?
A.A single, thin layer.
B.A part of the 3-D prin ter.
C.A solid or semi-solid object.
D.A person who operates the machine.
(4)Why did Lonnie Love make efforts to improve 3-D printing with his team?
A.Because additive manufacturing might produce unreliable materials.
B.Because he just was interested in making new things.
C.Because he just wanted to build new machines and test them
D.Because additive manufacturing is always slow but inexpensive.
(5)Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A.3-D Printers Are Coming
B.3-D Printers Are Becoming Well- Known
C.3-D Printers Are Becoming Cheaper
D.3-D Printers Are Making Cars
