The Nature’s 100 Best List.
If cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2020;2020.The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2020;2020.
“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 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, 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 70 orders with deposits. “We’re working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps，”
Brown said.
( )11.We can learn from the first paragraph that________. A．car-planes will be popular in 2020;2020 B．people might drive a car-plane in 2020;2020 C．both Transition and Ferrari can take off and land D．Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts ( )12.It takes the car-plane one minute to________. A．fold and unfold its wings B．unfold wings for flying C．land in the airport
D．meet flying safety regulations
( )13.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A．The car-plane needs a runway to take off and land.
B．To meet aircraft regulations, the company has been working with FAA. C．The car-plane may fly as high as normal planes.
D．People can park the car-plane in the garage at their home. ( )14.The underlined word “it” in the last but one paragraph refers to________.
A．the radio B．the transponder C．the GPS
D．the full-plane parachute
( )15.What’s the best title for the passage? A．Cars With Wings May Be Just Around The Corner B．Which To Choose: A Ferrari Or A Car-Plane? C．A More Convenient And Cheaper Way To Fly D．Cars With Wings Can Fly As Fast As Plane
专题限时训练(二十九) (一)
1．C 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句…you never knew if you would be able to wake your computer without having to reboot it…可知必须要重启电脑，故答案为C。
2．D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段段首知提及C项，根据最后一段可知提及A、B两项，而D项在文中没有依据支持。
3．B 细节理解题。文章第二段谈到如果电脑有一段时间不用会自动转为休眠状态，这样耗电很少。最后一段最后一句说明电脑在处理不同的任务时，用电量也不同(复杂运算耗电最多)，故正确答案为B。
4．A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中The latter uses more energy because desktop power supplies are less efficient and require a separate and often larger，power-hungry monitor.可以推断A项是正确选项，而D项表述太绝对化。
5．B 推理判断题。从第一段最后一句和第二段的第一句可以推断出电脑使用的寿命长短主要是如何正确使用电脑。C项是第二段第一句直接陈述的事实。
(二)
本文为科普说明文，主要介绍在生物仿生学上的一些运用实例。
6．D 细节理解题。根据最后一段可推断大自然是开发技术的源泉，故选D。A项不符合A company in Atlanta, US, developed a self-cleaning paint modeled on the lotus (荷花) leaf；B项不符合In Zimbabwe, a country in southern Africa, engineers designed energy-efficient buildings modeled on termite (白蚁)mounds (土堆)；C项文章未提及。
7．C 细节理解题。选项中A、B、D三项均符合第三段The boxfish may look clumsy, but it can start, stop, back up and zigzag (曲折前进)through the water with ease. And it does all this using surprisingly little energy. Daimler’s bionic (仿生学的)car is modeled on the fish’s boxy skeletal (骨骼的) system.
唯有C项不符合文意，故选C。
8．C 细节理解题。根据第一段When top engineers in Germany wanted to build a more energy-efficient car, they headed to the natural history museum to study dolphins and sharks.可判断选C。
9．B 推理判断题。本文主要介绍在生物仿生学上的一些运用实例，从而说明大自然是开发技术的源泉。A、C和D三项都符合生物仿生的道理，而B项无法从文中推断出来，故选B。
10．B 主旨大意题。本文先是介绍生物仿生学的一些实际应用，而后在最后一段深化主题：大自然已经激发了很多发明，但我们仍需继续向大自然学习，故选B。
(三)
本文为说明文，主要介绍2020;2020年末即将上市的一种汽车飞机的性能、特点与价格等。
11．B 细节理解题。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 2020;2020.可知选B。
12．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.可判断选B。
13．C 细节理解题。C项不符合The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers.可判断选C。
14．D 词义猜测题。根据Another option is a full-plane parachute.和“If you get into a very awful situation, it is the necessary safety option，” Gersh said.的过渡关系，再结合句中的“a very awful situation”可推断it应指降落伞，故选D。
15．A 主旨大意题。综合全文可知，全文主要介绍2020;2020年末即将上市的汽车飞机的性能、特点与价格等，由此判断选A。
