阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AIf cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2011.The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2011.“Its the nextwowvehicle，”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh.“Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris dont fly.”The car plane has wings that unfold for flyinga process the company says takes one minuteand 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 youre good to go.When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road.There are no expensive parking fees because you dont have to store it at an airportyou 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(临界)conditions.The Transitions 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.“Were working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps,”Brown said.56.We can learn from the first paragraph that .A.car-planes will be popular in 2011B.people might drive a car-plane in 2011C.both Transition and Ferrari can take off and landD.Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts57.lt takes the car-plane one minute to .A.fold and unfold its wings B.unfold wings for flyingC.land in the airport D.meet flying safety regulations58.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 mcet 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.59.The underlined word“it”in the last but one paragraph refers to .A.the radio B.the transponderC.the GPS D.the full-plane parachute60.Whats the best title for the passage?A.Cars With Wings May Be Just Around The Corner.B.Which to Choose: A Ferraris or a Car Plane?C.A more Convenient and Cheaper Way to Fly.D.Cars With Wings Can Fly as Fast as Planes.BJeffrey P.Bezos, the founder, president and chairman of the board of Amazon com., was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico.His mothers

Its too early to answer.But its presence is challenging the Ministry of Education.Even without the approval of the ministry it seems that the school is determined to move forward and enroll(招收)50 students, so-called child prodigies(奇才), to begin classes on March l, 2011.On graduating in 2015, these students will receive a diploma unauthorized by the Ministry of Education-unlike the students of their age from the state-run universities.The school is committed to modeling itself on Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, but if the government will not approve the school, the situation could cause a lot of trouble for those 50 students if they want to do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions.Other schools could turn their applications down for their unauthorized diplomas.The difficulties, however, have not frightened students and their parents away.On Dec.18, 2010 more than 1,000 students and their parents visited Nanfang University of Science and Technology for interviews.Private investment marks the school out from other higher learning institutions in the nation.Not a penny comes from the government.
