Inc.said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight,bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year.The vehicle—named the Transition—has 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 don't expect it to show up in too many driveways.It's expected to cost $279,000.And it won't help if you're stuck in traffic.The car needs a runway.※What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.The basic data of the Transition.B.The advantages of flying cars.C.The potential market for flying cars.D.The designers of the Transition.A [段落大意題。根據(jù)第一段中提到飛行汽車的兩個座位、四個輪子以及車翼、飛行速度、油耗等情況可知,該段是在介紹飛行汽車Transition的基本數(shù)據(jù),故選A項。B項曲解文意,該段最后三句只是列舉了這款飛行汽車在路上和在空中行駛時的一些數(shù)據(jù)對比,并沒有提及其優(yōu)勢;C項無中生有,該段并沒有提及這款飛行汽車的潛在市場問題;D項以偏概全,文中確實提到了飛行汽車的設計者,但它不是本段的主要內(nèi)容。][即學即練]請快速確定下面這道主旨大意題的答案。When I was eleven,my parents gave me the first book I ever owned—TheTalesofEdgarAllanPoe.I distinctly remember opening it,reading the first lines of the book,and remarking to myself,“So this is what reading is!” My delight was unbounded.Little did I know at the time that I was at the beginning of a lifelong journey.※What does the paragraph mainly talk about?A.The author's good memories.B.The author's childhood before 11.C.The author's parents' reading habits.D.The author's affection for his first book.D [段落大意題。根據(jù)“‘So this is what reading is!’My delight was unbounded.”可知,作者在11歲時讀了TheTalesofEdgarAllanPoe這本書,它喚起作者對書籍的熱愛。故選D。]
