5."It's the next‘wow'vehicle,"said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh."Anybody can buy a Ferrari,but as we say,Ferraris don't fly."
The car plane has wings that unfold for flying-a process the company says takes one minute-and fold back up for driving.A runway is still required to take off and land.
The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies,although it is both.The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations,and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.
The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly.They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports:You drive the car to the airport and then you're good to go.When you land,you fold up the wings and hit the road.There are no expensive parking fees because you don't have to store it at an airport-you park it in the garage at home.
The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000feet.It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430pounds,including fuel and passengers.Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界)conditions.
The Transition's price tag:$194,000,But there may be additional charges for options like a radio,transponder or GPS.Another option is a full-plane parachute.
"If you get into a very awful situation,it is the necessary safety option,"Gersh said.
So far,the company has more than 70orders with deposits."We're working very closely with them,but there are still some remaining steps,"Brown said.

解答 56-60 BBCDA
56 B.推理判断题.根据第一段The company Terrafugia,based in Woburn,Massachusetts,says it plans to deliver its car-plane,the Transition,to customers by the end of 2011.到这家公司计划在2011年的年底之前推出这款新产品,由此可推测B项正确.
57 B.细节理解题.根据第三段The car plane has wings that unfold for flying-a process the company says takes one minute-and fold back up for driving可知它打开飞行用的机翼需要一分钟的时间.故选B.
58 C.正误判断题.第六段的第一句The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000feet.提到这款产品设计的起初飞行高度是一万英尺以下,由此可知它不能和正常的飞机飞行同样的高度.故选C.
59 D.猜测词义题.根据本句前半句中的内容可推测此处指代的是上一段最后一句中提到的fullplane parachute(降落伞).故选D.
