泉州市2024高考英語文章突破一輪訓練（4）及答案

　　If cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2024.The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2024.

　　“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(臨界)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 2024

　　B．people might drive a car-plane in 2024

　　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 (二)

　　Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.

　　Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources（資源）, we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.

　　In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening,

　　for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.

　　50. From the passage we know that some students often _______ in the school.

　　A. eat too much

　　B. don‘t work hard

　　C. waste things

　　D. throw rubbish everywhere

　　51. Which is not mentioned in this passage？

　　A. Fresh water

　　B. Forest.

　　C. Oil.

　　D. Coal.

　　52. What may happen in 100 years？

　　A. We may still have enough oil.

　　B. We may still have enough coal.

　　C. We may have a little oil.

　　D. We may have no coal or oil to use.

　　53. Which is the best title of this passage？

　　A. Stop Wasting

　　B. School life

　　C. Waste in the School

　　D. Rich Resources in China

　　There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington D .C.has the National Gallery of Art (美術館); Paris has the Louvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.

　　FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don’t have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone.

　　You can call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically (采用電子手段) by artists in their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.

　　Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work.

　　A computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs (軟盤), to others to see on their computers. He could also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures in paper, the computer artist needed an expensive laser (激光) printer.

　　Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak says the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists will enjoy their work much more if they have an_audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.

　　()1.The main purpose of this text is to give information about________.

　　A．famous museums through the world

　　B．a computer art museum in Miami, U．S.A.

　　C．art exhibitions in Florida International University

　　D．latest development in computer art

　　()2.To see the art in FIU museum, your special needs include________.

　　A．floppy discs

　　B．a computer and a printer

　　C．pictures and drawings on paper

　　D．a computer connected to the museum by telephone line

　　()3. What are stored in this museum?

　　A．Paintings drawn by means of computer.

　　B．Different styles of paintings.

　　C．Old paintings.

　　D．Drawings done by art students of FIU.

　　()4.The museum was started when________.

　　A．Robert Shostak wanted to do something for computer scientists

　　B．Robert Shostak wanted to help computer artists

　　C．art students needed a place to show their works

　　D．computer scientists wanted to do something about art

　　1．B　主旨大意題。作者首先在文章開頭介紹世界著名圖書館， 接著引出邁阿密州的佛羅里達國際大學，接下來文章詳細地介紹了它的電子藝術博物館，因此 B為最佳答案。

　　2．D　細節理解題。根據第三段開頭You can call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own computer to it可知答案。

　　3．A　細節理解題。從第三段中It is computer art, produced electronically…得此答案。

　　4．B　推理判斷題。從第四段He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work看，Robert Shostak 開辦這家電子藝術博物館的目的是為藝術家們創造一個展示藝術的天地，因此B為最佳答案。在此C有較大干擾性，從文章最后一段看似乎這一答案正確，然而從第三段看，這家電子藝術博物館是面對所有的藝術家，而并非只對藝術學生。

　　5．D　 詞義猜測題。根據文中的“artists will enjoy their work much more”可推斷此處的觀眾是指觀賞藝術品的觀眾，尤其可推斷選D。
