2019年全國(guó)英語(yǔ)等級(jí)考試二級(jí)閱讀習(xí)題（9）

　　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 dreamt of cars that could take to the sky at the push of a button(按鈕). And now pilots can order their own “roadable” plane for just￡127, 000.

　　The plane, which has fold-out wings that span 17. 5 feet, can be up to 115 mph. Back on the land, it can also travel at “highway speeds” in car mode(模式).

　　Fuelling(加燃料)the 19 feet 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(目的地). You will always be ready to drive or fly. ”

　　The spokeswoman added, “Never let bad weather change your trip. You can simply divert(使轉(zhuǎn)向)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(展開(kāi))your wings and fly into the future.

　　人們做了三十年的夢(mèng)終于成真了, 有一種飛機(jī)飛行時(shí)展開(kāi)機(jī)翼, 在空中高飛; 在陸地上收起機(jī)翼, 就是汽車。

　　小題1:選B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容可知這種飛機(jī)有可折疊的機(jī)翼, 飛行時(shí)可展開(kāi)機(jī)翼; 在公路上則是汽車模式。故選B項(xiàng)。

　　小題2:選D。推理判斷題。第二段第一句說(shuō)這類電影點(diǎn)燃了人們的夢(mèng)想: 一按按鈕, 汽車就能飛到空中。可推知在這類電影中有會(huì)飛的汽車, 故選D項(xiàng)。

　　小題3:選A。詞義猜測(cè)題。上一句中說(shuō)到你可以把它放到車庫(kù)中, 由于它需要跑道才能飛到空中, 可推知這里的it指的是前文提到的light-sport airplane。

　　小題4:選A。推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的意思, 這樣的“汽車”飛機(jī)對(duì)你沒(méi)有危險(xiǎn), 只是讓你有機(jī)會(huì)成為第一個(gè)可以在家就能展開(kāi)機(jī)翼, 飛向未來(lái)的人, 可推知在號(hào)召人們購(gòu)買這樣的飛機(jī)。

　　小題5:選C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第六段中的“You can simply divert and continue on the ground until the weather clears. ”可知如果遇到不好的天氣, 你可以在陸地上開(kāi)車直到天氣好轉(zhuǎn)。故選C項(xiàng)。
