LikeMartyMcFly’sbanana-poweredDeLorean(德罗宁时光机),afuturegenerationofflyingcarscouldtipovertheideathatallflyingisbadfortheclimate.FirmssuchastheRollsRoyce,LiliumandVerticalAerospacehavearguedthatflyingcarscouldbeagreenmodeoftransportdespitethelargeamountsofenergytheyneedtogetofftheground.

Onestudyintotheenvironmentalimpactofsuchvertical(垂直的)takeoffandlanding(VTOL)vehiclessuggeststheirbackerscouldberight—atleastinsomecircumstances.GregoryKeoleianattheUniversityofMichiganandcolleaguesfoundthatVTOLs,iftheyevertooktotheskies,wouldproduce6percentlessemissionsthananelectriccarovera100-kilometrejourney.“TheVTOLisparticularlyenergyintensive(集中的)duringtakeoffandlanding.Theflightphase,however,ismuchmoreefficient,andoverlongdistances,makesfullyloadedVTOLscompetitivewithgroundbasedvehicles,”saysKeoleian.Flyingcarswouldalsohavetheadvantageofbeingabletoflyinastraightline,bypassingmeanderingroutes.

Keoleianandhisteamconcludeflyingcarscouldhaveaminorroleinsustainabletransport.Buteveniftheydoprovetobegreen,theyhavealotofotherhurdlestocrossfirst.【文章大意】本文属于说明文,介绍飞行汽车的优势以及自身的问题。5.WhydofirmsliketheRollsRoyceargueforflyingcars?A.Theyarebanana-powered.B.Theyareenvironmentally-friendly.C.Theyrunfaster.D.Theyneedlessenergytotakeoff.【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据第一段第二句可知,像劳斯莱斯这样的公司都认为,飞行汽车可能是一种绿色的交通工具,对环境有好处。6.WhatdoesKeoleian’sstudyfindabouttheVTOLvehicles?A.Theyarenearlyperfect.B.Theyareabletoflyinastraightline.C.Theycanwinoutoverlongdistances.D.Theycansave6%energythanelectriccars.【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第二段第四句可知,Keoleian认为在飞行期间,VTOL更高效,在长途运输的时候,满载的VTOL更能够与传统的汽车相抗衡,所以C项正确。7.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“catches”inParagraph3referto?A.Problems.

B.Advantages.C.Differences. D.Efforts.【解析】选A。词义猜测题。根据后文“Flyingcarsdon’treallyexistyet—theyareonlyattheprototypestage.”可知,如今飞行汽车还停留在雏形阶段。由此猜测,catch意思为“缺陷,问题”。8.Whatistheauthor’sattitudetoflyingcars?A.Doubtful. B.Supportive.C.Disapproving. D.Neutral.【解析】选D。推理判断题。分析文章可知,作者首先描述飞行汽车的优势,同时也指出,飞行汽车与电动汽车相比没有什么实质性的优点,故可知,作者对飞行汽车的态度是比较客观和中立的,故选D项。Ⅱ.阅读填句Cookingwithcare
