【题目】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 that’s hard to use,” said Mark Moore, head of the personal air vehicle(PAV) division of the vehicle systems program at Nasa’s 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, Boeing’s research and development arm. “But we’re 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 pilot’s 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.
【1】The best title for this text would be_______ .
A. Developing Skycars
B. The Traffic Jams in the Sky
C. How to Guide Flying Cars in the Sky
D. What Flying Cars Will Look Like
【2】The underlined word “envision” in Paragraph 1 most probably means “ “.
A.imagine B. expect C. think D. announce
【3】When engineers develop the skycars, they have to deal with the following difficulties except____ .
A. how to fly out of regional airports
B. how to prevent the disorder of the airways
C. how to reduce expenses and the vehicle’s weight
D. how to fly the skycars to enter skies
【4】Now
A. make big flying cars
B. work out the plan---how to transform small plane travel
C. develop a new kind of small plane different from the traditional one
D. build a new kind of small plane with road-driving abilities

【题目】Half of the world’s population lives in areas affected by Asian monsoons（季风）, but monsoons are difficult to predict. American researchers have put together a 700-year record of the rainy seasons, which is expected to provide guidance for experts making weather predictions.
Every summer, moist（潮湿的）air masses, known as monsoon, produce large quantities of rainfall in India, East Asia, Indonesia, Northern Australia and East Africa, which are pulled in by a high pressure area over the Indian Ocean and a low pressure area to the south.
According to Edward Cook, a weather expert at Columbia University in New York, the complex nature of the climate systems across Asia makes monsoons hard to predict. In addition, climate records for the area date to 1950, too recent and not detailed enough to be of much use. Therefore, he and a team of researchers spent more than fifteen years travelling across Asia locating trees old enough to provide long-term records. They measured the rings（年轮）or circles, inside the trunks of thousands of ancient trees at more than 300 sites.
Rainfall has a direct link to the growth and width of rings on some kinds of trees. The researchers developed a document—a Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas（地图集）. It shows the effect of monsoons over seven centuries, beginning in the 1300s.
Professor Cook says the tree-ring records show periods of wet and dry conditions. “If the monsoon basically fails or is very weak one year, the trees affected by the monsoon at that location might put on a very narrow ring. But if the monsoon is very strong, the trees affected by that monsoon might put on a wide ring for that year. So, the wide and narrow ring widths of the tree chronology（年表）that we developed in Asia provide us with a measure of monsoon variability. ” Armed with such a sweeping set of data, researchers say they now can begin to refine climate computer models for predicting the behavior of monsoons.
“There has been widespread famine and starvation and human dying in the past in large droughts. And on the other hand, if the monsoon is particularly heavy, it can cause extensive flooding,” said Eugene Wahl, a scientist who is with America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s paleoclimate（古气侯）branch studying weather patterns over the history of the Earth. “So, to get a knowledge of what the regional moisture patterns have been, dryness and wetness over such a long period of time in great detail, I would call it a kind of victory for climate science.”
【1】What’s the passage mainly about?
A．A breakthrough in monsoon prediction.
B．The necessity of weather forecast.
C．The achievements of Edward Cook.
D．The effects of Asian monsoons.
【2】It is difficult for experts to predict Asian monsoons because______.

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A．The trees affected by monsoon grow fast if the monsoon is weak.
B．The Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas has a monsoon record for about 1,300 years.
C．Long and detailed climate records can offer useful information for monsoon research.
D．The rainfall might be low although the monsoon is strong in monsoon-
affected areas.
【4】According to Professor Cook, the rings of the trees_________.
A．determine the regional climate
B．have a great influence on the regional climate
C．offer people information about the regional climate
D．reflect all kinds of regional climate information
【5】What do we know about the research according to Eugene Wahl?
A．It will help people prevent droughts and floods.
B．It should include information about human life in the past.
C．It has analysed moisture models worldwide.
D．It is a great achievement in climate science.
【6】Which of the following best describes the tone of this passage?
