next year. the vehiclenamed the transitionhas two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. the transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. it flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air. on the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after terrafugia introduces the transition to the public later this week at the new york auto show. but dont expect it to show up in too many driveways. its expected to cost $279,000. and it wont help if youre stuck in traffic. the car needs a runway. inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to robert mann, an airline industry expert. but mann thinks terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. the government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. the transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.mann said terrafugia was helped by the federal aviation administrations decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes. terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.28. what is the first paragraph mainly about?a. the advantages of flying cars. b. the basic data of the transition. c. the potential market for flying cars. c. the designers of the transition.29. why is the transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?a. it causes traffic jams. b. it is difficult to operate.c. it is very expensive. d. it burns too much fuel.30. what is the governments attitude to the development of the flying car?a. cautious. b. favorable.c. negative. d. disapproving.31. what is the best title for the text?a. flying car closer to reality b. the transitions first flightc. pilots dream coming true d. flying car at auto show din the pacific northwest, there is a kind of owl (猫头鹰) that serves as a unique piece to the northwest habitatthe northern spotted owl.northern spotted owls are known to be curious. when seeing you, these owls will come down close and check you out. the northern spotted owl has been a savior（救世主）of old-growth forests. old-growth forests are forests that have been around for a long time without significant disturbances. one way the spotted owl has become a protector of old-growth forests is simply by being there. the northern spotted owl has become endangered, and so to protect them from dying out, the government has to protect their habitat. so now any destruction of old-growth forests is illegal. another way the owls help their habitat is by eating small animals. this helps create a balance in the forest. so, if the northern spotted owl is in a habitat that is protected by laws, why are they still endangered? unfortunately, a cousin of the northern spotted owl has moved into its neighborhood. the bigger, more aggressive（好斗的，侵略性的）“barred owl” has grown in population and due to loss of the forests they lived in on the east coast of the united states, they have begun to move to the west coast. these owls are taking the food source and pushing northern spotted owls out of their own home. although the barred owl is able to live in different habitats, the northern spotted owl can only live in old-growth forests. many government officials have been at a loss to find an answer to the difficult question, “what do we do with the non-native barred owls?” some methods include shooting them. it is a difficult problem to deal with. can you think of any possible solutions?32. what do we know about the northern spotted owl?a. it is particular about its food. b. it has difficulty adapting to a new habitat.c. it seems dangerous and aggressive. d. it is a common bird in the usa.33. old-growth forests seem to _. a. become less safe for the owls b. benefit from northern spotted owlsc. be in danger of dying out d. regrow at a fast speed34. northern spotted owls are in danger mainly because of _.a. illegal hunting b. the destruction of the forestsc. another kind of owl d. environmental pollution 35. the methods being used to help northern spotted owls are _. a. creative b. far-sighted c. unbearable d. ineffective 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项多余。while you are travelling abroad, cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic (语言的) mistakes, which can lead
