Questions 71 to 80 are based on the following passage. The prospect of a revolution in air travel has been raised by NASAs successful test of a 5,000mph plane. But are we likely to see similar advances in other forms of transport? The way we get about has a major impact on the way we live affecting where we set up home, work, and holiday.NASA scientists say their experimental X-43A jet has the potential to make the world a much smaller place. People have already started imagining passenger planes that will one day fly from the UK to Australia in two hours. But apart from the huge cost implications, governments are increasingly sensitive to environmental concerns and may resist technology that could harm the planet. So, dusting off the crystal ball, what changes might come in the way we get around? What big ideas are out there, and do they have any chance of seeing the light of day? The idea: Flying carsDevelopments in microlight technology will make it possible for everyone to own what are, in effect, flying cars. They will have closed cabins, heating, stereos, and room for two people. You will take off from a field or runway near your home and fly to towns and cities across the UK and mainland Europe. After landing, you will remove the fixed wing from your vehicle and continue your journey by road right up to your final destination just as if you were travelling by car. Fuel efficient engines and the advantage of being able to travel as the crow flies rather than by winding roads will keep costs and the environmental impact down. Will it happen? Its not that far fetched. Micro light firm Pegasus is already building closed cabin vehicles, while some aircraft can travel at speeds of up to 130mph and fly for up to four hours. Pegasus boss Bill Brooks says a combined three wheel car and micro light could cost about 30,000. The downsides The prospect of deadly crashes and “air rage” come to mind. The British weather often prevents micro light flying, and you can only travel during daylight hours. You need an airfield and learning to fly isnt easy. There is also the question of developing propellers that can safely power cars. “While driving up the road under propeller power, I saw a group of children on their bicycles. I was afraid I might cut them to pieces. So, I stopped and pushed my car the rest of the way,” says Bill Brooks of an early test run. The idea: Jet PacksJames Bond used a jet pack to escape a French hotel after killing his enemy Jacques Boiter in Thunderball. The idea was also a hit when a professional stuntman flew around on one during the opening ceremony of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. You will be able to use the device roughly the size of two small gas tanks on your back for short journeys like going to the shops. They will be handy for helping cats get down from trees, cleaning hard-to-reach windows, and arriving in style at a party. Will it happen? Its looking increasingly unlikely despite the fact we have already seen early models in action. It remains difficult to build a cheap, reliable version which has a practical use. The downsides “Lots of people set their pants on fire and went off in funny directions when they tried them out,” says Austin Williams of the independent Transport Research Group. And theres always the issue of whether you really need one. The idea: Driverless cabsThese computer-controlled pods will take you wherever you want along a fixed route, whenever you want to go. For the price of one persons bus fare, several people can ride at speeds of up to 25mph, with fences and raised sections used to guard against accidents. There will be little, if any, wait for use of the cabs, which will leave from stations and will be accessed by pre-paid smartcards. The cabs, which will travel on a 1.5m-wide track, will use 75% less energy per passenger than a car and 50% less than a bus. Will it happen? Theres a good chance it will. Testing has taken place in Cardiff, where developers hope to have 160 driverless cabs running by 2006. “We have had a lot of interest from elsewhere in the country,” says ULTra chief executive Martin Lowson. He says Corby and Daventry are both looking at the idea, as are Heathrow and East Midlands airports. The downsides The main problem would be finding people to invest in the idea and governments to approve it. There is also the possibility of people damaging the cabs without drivers to protect them. Theres also the visual impact of raised sections and possible traffic jams during installation of the tracks. 注意：此部分试题请在答题卡上作答。71. How does the way we get around affect the way we live? A.
