Question

【题目】

Terrafugia Inc. said that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car next year. The flying car named the Transition has two seats, four wheels and wings that can be folded, so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach about 70 miles every hour on the road and 115 miles in the air. It burns around 23 gallons (加仑) of gas every hour in the air.

_____________________ Around 500 people have already prepaid (预付) $10,000 for getting a Transition. It’s reported that more and more people would like to have one, after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public at the New York Auto Show. But it may be impossible to show up on too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $ 279,000 each. And it won’t help if you’re in a heavy traffic. The car needs a runway.

Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s. According to Robert Mann, an airline scientist, Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the car really fly in the sky.

The government has already agreed the company to use special materials to make it easier for the car to fly. The Transition is now going through tests to make sure it is safe.

Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, the airline pilots would find it easy to control the car.

【1】The first paragraph is mainly about________________.

【4】B

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述Terrafugia公司，研制出了飞车，试飞成功，预计将于明年进行销售。本文主要对飞车的历史由来及其构架进行了介绍。

【1】主旨大意题。根据第一段主要对飞车的基本机构，飞行速度等进行了介绍，所以改段的主旨大意为D。

【2】推理判断题。根据The government has already agreed the company to use special materials to make it easier for the car to fly.“政府已经同意该公司使用特殊材料，使汽车更容易飞行。”可以推断政府支持飞车的发展，故选D。

【3】推理判断题。根据后文介绍人们的预付款及每辆车的高昂价格，故选D，飞车很贵。

【4】细节理解题。根据The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach about 70 miles every hour on the road and 115 miles in the air.可知空中每小时能到达115英里每小时，故A正确；根据But it may be impossible to show up on too many driveways.可知飞车不可能出现在太多的车道上，故B错误；根据Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s.可知C正确；根据the airline pilots would find it easy to control the car.可知D正确，根据题干要求，故选B。
