Answer 1

【答案】electric；companies；than；having；which；are expected；It；reduced；to book；more expensive
【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了Kitty Hawk和Uber两家公司的飞行汽车上市进展情况。
（1）考查形容词。这里用形容词作定语，修饰名词planes，electric意为“电动的”，故填electric。
（2）考查名词复数。名词companies（公司）前有two修饰，所以要用复数形式，在句中作主语，故填companies。
（3）考查连词。句意：比你想的快得多，飞行汽车可能出现在天空中。根据句意，故填than。
（4）考查动名词。Imagine（设想）后总是接动名词作宾语，故填having。
（5）考查关系代词。定语从句，先行词是cars，用关系代词which在从句中作主语，故填which。
（6）考查时态。句意：第一辆飞行汽车有望在2017年底有售。expect在此是谓语动词，根据与主语Its first flying cars是被动关系，故要用一般现在时态的被动语态，故填are expected。
（7）考查代词。此处用代词it代替上文提到了Uber公司，特指，故填It。
（8）考查过去分词。With的复合结构：with+宾语+过去分词，此处the travel time与reduced之间是被动关系，故填reduced。
（9）考查不定式。固定搭配：use sth. to do sth（使用……去做……），用不定式表示目的，故填to book。
（10）考查形容词。句意：据估计，飞行的士要比陆地的士要更贵一些。要用形容词比较级作表语，故填more expensive。
