高考英语百日训练之阅读理解（50）含答案解析

【题文】

Last week, two companies, Kitty Hawk and Uber, announced their plans to bring flying cars to reality very soon. Kitty Hawk president, Sebastian Thrun, announced Kitty Hawk’s flying car plans last Monday. According to its website, the car is electric-powered and will be able to travel at speeds up to 40 kilometers an hour. It says such a machine “does not require registration or a pilot’s license and may be flown in uncrowded areas for recreational purposes.” As of now, the car can only be flown over fresh water.

Kitty Hawk is making a list of people interested in buying the flying car. They must pay a deposit of $ 100. Those who get their names on the list early will receive $2,000 off the final cost of the car. However, Kitty Hawk has not yet announced the price. Its first flying cars are expected to go on sale by the end of this year.

Unlike the Kitty Hawk company, Uber does not plan to build its flying cars. Uber expects to launch flying taxis in Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas, US by 2020. Like the Kitty Hawk car, Uber flying taxis will use electric power. Uber says its flying taxis could travel up to 241 kilometers an hour. The company says that could reduce the travel time between San Francisco and San Jose, California from 2 hours on the road to 15 minutes in the air.

Riders could use the Uber app to book a flying taxi to take them to their destinations. The company has not yet said how costly air taxi travel would be compared to road taxi travel.

Sooner than you think, flying cars may appear in the sky. Much convenience as they will bring, just imagine having to avoid other flying cars. Also, what if your battery dies when you are in the air? And, how will you know where to land? 12. What may Kitty Hawk’s flying car be used for at present? A. Accelerating the speed. C. Advertising the company.

B. Having fun. D. Fetching water.

13. What do we know about Kitty Hawk’s flying car from the third paragraph? A. It costs two thousand dollars each. C. It offers $100 to its potential buyers.

B. It can travel over water. D. It hasn’t gone to market.

14. In what way is Uber’s flying taxi similar to Kitty Hawk’s flying car? A. They travel at the same speed. C. They are supported by the Uber app.

15. What is the purpose of the last paragraph of the text? A. To call for public donations. C. To promote interest in science.

【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. D

B. To introduce some advantages. D. To talk about possible problems. B. They are electric-powered. D. They require a flying license.
