营口市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空二轮精品训练（12）含答案as motorways become more and more blocked up with traffic, a new generation on flying cars will be needed to ferry people along skyways. that is the conclusion of engineers from the us space agency and aeronautical firms, who envision future commuters traveling by “skycar”.these could look much like the concept skycar shown in the picture, designed by boeing research and development. however, such vehicles could be some 25 years from appearing on the market. efforts to build flying vehicles in the past have not been very successful. such vehicles would not only be expensive and require the skills of a trained pilot to fly, but there are significant engineering challenges involved in developing them. “when you try to combine them you get the worst of both worlds: a very heavy, slow, expensive vehicle thats hard to use,” said mark moore, head of the personal air vehicle(pav) division of the vehicle systems program at nasas langley research center in hampton, us. but boeing is also considering how to police the airways-and prevent total pandemonium(吵杂狂乱的喧闹)-if thousands of flying cars enter the skies.“the neat, gee-whiz part is thinking about what the vehicle itself would look like,” said dick paul, a vice president with phantom works, boeings research and development arm. “but were trying to think through all the consequences of what it would take to deploy(散开) a fleet of these.”past proposals to solve this problem have included artificial intelligence systems to prevent collisions between air traffic. nasa is working on flying vehicles with the initial goal of transforming small plane travel. small planes are generally costly, loud, and require months of training and lots of money to operate, making flying to work impractical for most people. but within five years, nasa researchers hope to develop technology for a small plane that can fly out of regional airports, costs less than $100,000(55,725), is as quiet as a motorcycle and as simple to operate as a car.although it would not have any road-driving capabilities, it would bring this form of travel within the grasp of a wider section of people. the new technology would automate many of the pilots functions. this small aircraft transportation system(sats) would divert pressure away from the “hub-and-spoke(中心辐射型)” model of air travel. hub-and-spoke refers to the typically us model of passengers being processed through large “hub” airports and then on to secondary flights to “spoke” airports near their final destinations.49. the best title for

hospital is one associated with a medical school. teaching hospitals are large, with a range of from 300 to 200 beds. these hospitals always have interns(实习医师) and residents(住院医师) and additionally have medical students on the hospital wards. they have superb technical resources, and it is here that the most extraordinary events of medicine take place. open-heart surgery, transplantation of kidneys, elaborate(精致的) nurseries for the newborn, support for management of rare blood diseases, and other wonderful achievements are all available here. dozens of people may be concerned with the well-being of a particular patient. important medical decisions are thoroughly discussed, presented at conferences, and reviewed by many personnel.on the other hand, the quality of personal relationships at teaching hospitals is variable. many patients feel that they are treated in an impersonal way, and that their laboratory tests receive more attention that their human and social problems. since these institutions are on the frontier of medicine, there is a tendency to emphasize the new and elaborate procedures, when older and more modest ones might have served as well. with the inexperience of some members of the care team, there is a tendency to order more laboratory tests than what would have been ordered for the same condition in a private hospital. the sick patients are sometimes confused by having to relate to a large number of doctors and students. medical educators are concerned with such criticisms and have to correct some of the problems. however, some excesses(超额) of technological medicine still occur in these institutions.53. one of the advantages of a teaching hospital is that . a. its first-class personnel are a guarantee of excellent medical care b. its first-class medical facilities and skills make medical breakthroughs possible c. the interns, residents and medical students all offer satisfactory services d. its laboratory staff provide
