泉州市2014高考英语文章突破一轮训练（4）及答案(***)If cars had wings，they could fly and that just mighthappen, beginning in 2012.The company Terrafugia, basedin Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver itscar­plane, the Transition, to customers by the end o f 2012.“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 car­plane 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 full­plane parachute.“If you get into a very a wful 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．car­planes will be popular in 2012B．people might drive a car­plane in 2012C．both Transition and Ferrari can take off and landD．Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts( )12.It takes the car­plane one minute to________.A．fold and unfold its wings B．unfold wings for flyingC．land in the airport D．meet flying safety regulations( )13.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A．The car­plane needs a runway to take off and lan d.B．To meet aircraft regulations, the company has been working with FAA.C．The car­plane may fly as high as normal planes.D．People can park the car­plane 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 full­plane parachute ( )15.What’s the best title for the passage?A．Cars With Wings May Be Just Around The CornerB．Which To Choose: A Ferrari Or A Car­Plane?C．A More Convenient And Cheaper Way To FlyD．Cars With Wings Can Fly As Fast As Plane(二)本文为说明文，主要介绍2011年末即将上市的一种汽车飞机的性能、特点与价格等。

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（资源）, 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. Littleby 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 muchB. don‘t work hardC. waste thingsD. throw rubbish everywhere51. Which is not mentioned in this passage？A.

We may have no coal or oil to use.53. Which is the best title of this passage？A. Stop WastingB. School lifeC. Waste in the SchoolD. Rich Resources in China***************************************************************结束文化教育型阅读理解(一)There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington D .C.has the National Gallery of Art (美术馆); 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 (采用电子手段) by artists in their own computers. Inonly 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 (软盘), 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.
