Question

【题目】

A science fiction flying car looks like a normal car, but it is an aircraft(飞行器)that anybody can fly directly from any place to another without using roads or runways. Science fiction writers have written about flying cars for a long time. But now flying cars will soon fly out of the world of science fiction into our real world. And the dream of the science fiction writers will soon come true.

The first-known sky car is the FSC-1. The FSC-1 looks like an expensive sports car. You can drive the FSC-1 on the road like a normal car. If you touch a button, its wings and propeller (螺旋桨) fold out and then it can take off, fly and land as an airplane. The owners of the FSC-1 can choose if they want to drive or fly.

Another flying car or sky car is the Moller Skycar M400. Although you can’t drive it on the roads, it is small and easy to fly and can take off and land like a helicopter (直升飞机). Urban Aeronautics’ X-Hawk is another type of sky car. It is expected to be available for about $3 million.

Just like any new technology, flying cars have taken a long time to be developed. But some experts think the technology is far from what people imagine when they are sitting in traffic. It still needs to be improved.

【1】The FSC-1 can ______.

A. change itself into a robotB. move on water like a ship

C. be flown only like an airplaneD. be driven like a car and flown like an airplane

【2】The Moller Sky car is different from the FSC-1 because ______.

A. it can’t flyB. it can’t be driven like a car

C. itis difficult to landD. it is much more expensive

【3】Some experts think the technology of flying cars is ______.

A. normalB. traditional

C. not good enoughD. strange

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】C

【解析】

本文是科普类阅读。介绍了飞行汽车。飞行汽车看起来像普通汽车，但它是一架飞机。开始它只出现在科幻小说里。现在出现在现实世界。像FSC-1、莫勒天空汽车M400（the Moller Skycar M400）和X-Hawk。一些专家认为，这一技术与人们的想象差的很远，它仍然需要改进。

【1】题意：FSC-1可以_____________。考查细节理解。A. change itself into a robot变成机器人；B. move on water like a ship像船一样在水上移动；C. be flown only like an airplane像飞机一样飞行；D. be driven like a car and flown like an airplane像汽车一样驾驶，像飞机一样飞行。根据第3句和4句You can drive the FSC-1 on the road like a normal car. If you touch a button, its wings and propeller (螺旋桨) fold out and then it can take off, fly and land as an airplane.（你可以像普通汽车一样在路上驾驶FSC-1。如果你按下按钮，它的翅膀和螺旋桨就会展开，然后它就可以像飞机一样起飞、飞行和降落。）可知选D。

【2】题意：莫勒天空汽车不同于FSC-1，因为________________。考查细节理解。A. it can’t fly不能飞；B. it can’t be driven like a car不能像汽车一样驾驶；C. itis difficult to land很难着陆；D. it is much more expensive要贵得多。根据第2段第3和4句可知“FSC-1可以像汽车一样驾驶，像飞机一样飞行。”而根据第3段第2句Although you can’t drive it on the roads, it is small and easy to fly and can take off and land like a helicopter（虽然你不能在路上驾驶它，但它很小，很容易飞行，而且可以像直升机一样起飞和降落。）可知“莫勒天空汽车不可以像汽车一样驾驶，但能像飞机一样飞行。”故莫勒天空汽车不同于FSC-1，因为不能像汽车一样驾驶；选B。

【3】题意：一些专家认为飞车技术__________。考查细节理解。A. normal正常的，一般的；B. traditional传统的；C. not good enough不够好；D. strange奇怪的，陌生的。最后一段中第2句But some experts think the technology is far from what people imagine when they are sitting in traffic. It still needs to be improved.（一些专家认为，当人们坐在飞行汽车里这一技术与人们的想象差的很远，它仍然需要改进。）可知 “一些专家认为飞车技术不够好”；所以选C。
