Question

【题目】

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（连续的） 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（状态）

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】

短文主要描述一种新式飞机：在空中，可展开机翼高飞；在陆地上收起机翼, 就是汽车。

【1】句意：根据上下文描述，“可行驶”飞机是一种有可折叠的机翼的汽车。

细节理解题。根据第三段的内容可知the“roadable”plane有可折叠的机翼, 飞行时可展开机翼；在公路上则是汽车模式。故选B。

【2】句意：我们可以推断在“回到未来”的电影中，汽车能在空中飞翔。

推理判断题。短文第二段首句说：...designers have dream of cars that could take to the sky at the push of a button.（……设计师们梦想着只要按下一个按钮，汽车就能飞向天空。）由此可推断，在这类电影中有会飞的汽车。故选D。

【3】句意：第五段加下划线的“it”是指什么？

词句猜测题。上文说：You can keep your light-sport airplane in your garage. （你可以把你的轻型运动飞机放在车库里。）为了避免重复，下文用it来替代light-sport airplane。而light-sport airplane就是指the“roadable”plane。故选A。

【4】句意：文章最后一句的目的是号召人们购买“可行驶”飞机。

推理判断题。文章最后一句的句意是：“对你来说没有风险——这只是一个机会，让你成为第一个在你的主场展开你的翅膀，飞向未来的人。”由此可推断，它的目的是号召人们购买“可行驶”飞机。故选A。

【5】句意：如果你在空中的“可行驶”飞机上遇到雷雨，你可以在陆地上开车直到天气好转。

细节理解题。第六段第二句说：You can simply divert and continue on the ground until the weather clears.（你可以简单地改道，继续在地面行驶，直到天气转晴。）由此可推断，如果遇到不好的天气, 你可以在陆地上开车直到天气好转。故选C。
