| If cars had wings,they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2012.The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its carplane, the Tr  ansition,to customers by the end of 2012. "It's the next 'wow' vehicle,"said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh. "Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don't fly." The car plane has wings that unfold for flying-a process the company says ta  kes one minute-and 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 c  ompany has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the NationalHighway 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 of trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you're good to go. When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don't have to store it at an airport-you park it in the garage at home. The carplane 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 i  nto marginal(临界)conditions. The Transition'  s price tag: $194,000. But there may be additional charges for options like a radio,transponder or GPS. Another option is a fullplane parachute. "If you get into a very awful situation, it is the necessary safety option," Gersh said. So far, the company has more th  an 70 orders with deposits. "We're working very closely withthem, but there are still some remaining steps," Brown said. |
| 1. We can learn from the first paragraph that________. |
| A. carplanes will be popular in 2012 B. people might drive a carplane in 2012 C. both Transition and Ferrari can take off and land D. Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts  |
| 2. It takes the carplane one minute to________. |
| A. fold and unfold its wings B. unfold wings for flying C. land in the airport D. meet flying safety regulations |
3. A ccording to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? |
| A. The carplane needs a runway to take off and land. B. To meet aircraft regulations, the company has been working with FAA. C. The carplane may fly as high as normal planes. D. People can park the carplane in the garage at their home. |
| 4. The underlined word "it" in the last but one paragraph refers to________. |
| A. the radio B. the transponder C. the GPS D. the fullplane parachute |
| 5. What's the best title for the passage? |
| A. Cars With Wings May Be Just Around The Corner B. Which To Choose: A Ferrari Or A CarPlane? C. A More Convenient And Cheaper Way  To FlyD. Cars With Wings Can Fly As Fast As Plane |

| The career of Henrik Ibsen was directly influenced by his childhoo. In later years, the great playwright remembered only a cruel, angry father, forced by business defeats to move the family to an old farm outside Skien, Norway. Ibsen's mother, no longer welcomed in the homes of her wealthy friends, started to suffer from depression. At sixteen, the young Ibsen left home, working as an appretice(学徒)in Gerimstad. Failure, for Ibsen, became a way of life. Catalina, his first literary attempt, was impossible to sell. The privately printed book was eventually sold as packing paper to a grocer. Ibsen sought admission to the university in Oslo but failed the entrance examinations. He tried a career as a journalist, without success. As a stage manager, first in Bergen, then in Oslo, he did better, but lost the latte  r job when the theater closed down. The experience was not altogether wasted. At Bergen, Ibsen's agreement required him to provide one new play each year, and although none of the five he produced was well received, the requirment forced him to learn the techniques of his trade. In 1864, Ibsen took his wife and baby son to Rome, Italy, where they spent five years living in poor conditions. On the edge of starvation, he wrote Brand, dealing with the subject he knew best: failure. Six months after he sent Brand to Danish publishers, his fortune had changed completely. The play was brought out in March, 1866, becoming an immediate success. With Brand and Peer Gynt, written in the same period, Ibsen won recognition at last. Awarded an annual fixed payment and the title of national poet by Norway, he dropped his shabby clothes and became a well-dressed, neatly barbered, distinguished writer. |
| 1. Which of the following best describes Ibsen's childhood? |
| A. Lonely. B. Peaceful. C. Unhappy. D. Surprising. |
| 2. Ibsen benefited a lot from his experience as _______. |
| A. an apprentics B. a university student C. journalist D. a stage manager |
| 3. Ibsen's first successful work was written in ____. |
| A. Grimstad B. Bergen C. Oslo D. Rome |
| 4. What can learn from the passage? |
| A. One is never too old to learn. B. Experience is the best teacher. C. Failure is the mother of success. D. Wisdom is better than gold or silver. |

| Koala bears as pets might be appealing to many of us. However, there are quite a few points to consider even before thinking of adopting one. In Australia the koala is a priority animal as far as conservation status assessment is concerned. It was hunted to near extinction(灭绝)for its fur. In fact the koala had been wiped out from South Australia in the 1920s. However, ehabilitation efforts have brought the animal back in the state. As for the Australian government, the koala is not a threatened animal, but the US government does list the koala as one. Almost everyone finds koala adorable in the zoo. However, as far as having koala bears as pets is concerned, there are legal issues to consider. Other than that, being able to provide for its diet and habitat is another point that needs some attention before any law legalizing their adopting as pets is passed. |
| 1. What is the author's attitude towards people raising the koala? |
| A. Passive. B. Grateful. C. Negative. D. Enthusiastic. |
| 2. Why did Australians hunt the koala? |
| A. To get its fur. B. To eat its meat. C. To wipe it out. D. To have it for fun. |
| 3. It can be inferred from the passage that _____. |
| A. koala bears tend to live in groups. B. koala bear care can be very demanding C. koala bears are not particular about their food. D. koala bears are the No.1 threatened animal in the US. |

| It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families that he is considered the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters. "My dear Mr. Bennet," said his lady to him one day, "have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?" Mr. Bennet replied that he had not. "But it is," returned she, "for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it." Mr. Bennet made no answer. "Do you not want to know who has taken it?" cried his wife impatiently. "You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it." This was invitation enough. "Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he camedown on Monday in a chaise to see the place, and was so much delighted with it, that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week." "What is his name?" "Bingley." "Is he married or single?" "Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls! " "How so? How can it affect them?" "My dear Mr. Bennet," replied his wife, "how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them." "Is that his design in settling here?" "Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes." "I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley may like you the best of the party." |
| 1. The sentence "... a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife" means that ____. |
| A. a single man who is financially stable needs a wife. B. a single man without money needn't a wife. C. women want to get married to financial stable men. D. once man becomes rich, he must want to get a wife. |
| 2. From the conversation between Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, we can conclude that Mrs. Bennet____. |
| A. wanted to tell her husband something about their new neighbor. B. wanted to get acquainted with their new neighbor. C. wanted to persuade her husband to see the young man. D. asked for her husband's permission to visit the new neighbor. |
| 3. At the end of the passage, Mr. Bennet sounded ______ toward his wiest Placeholder!fe's proposal. |
| A. friendly B. ironic(讽刺的) C. delighted D. annoyed |

| Vegetables may aid the brain A study suggests certain vegetables such as broccoli(西兰花)and spinach(菠菜)might help older women keep their minds sharp. Researchers have discovered that women in their 60s who eat more green leafy vegetables how less signs of mental decline over time, reported Wednesday's CRI online. They gave participants a bundle of tests measuring memory, oral ability and attention. The study didn't include men, but researchers say a similar diet would likely have the same results. Eating fish can cut risk of heart rhythm disorder US scientists have found that eating fish can reduce the risk of deadly heartbeat disorders. They say baked fish can effectively reduce the risk of atria fibrillation(心房颤动)among older men and women, reported Tuesday's CRI online. Researchers say in their 12 years of research among 4,800 people over the age of 65, they found those who ate fish one to four times per week had an about 30 percent lower risk compared with those who ate fish less than once a month. They say the omega-3 fatty acid can reduce the risk of a range of heart disorders and is vital to brain development and function. Red wine may extend life US scientist have found that a mixture that makes red wine a healthy drink may also hold the secret to a longer life. They say antioxidant(抗氧化剂) in wine acted on fruited flies and worms in the same way as a method known to extend the life of many animals, which is by sharply limiting how much they eat. Limiting calories has been shown to make animals such as dogs and monkeys live longer, but they are often tired and lose productivity. The researchers will begin testing the mixture in mice. | |
