25、s it plans to deliver its carplane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2012.“Its the next wow vehicle，”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh. “Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris dont fly.”The car plane has wings that unfold for flyinga process the company says takes on
26、e minuteand 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 company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Saf
27、ety 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 a
28、irport and then youre good to go. When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you dont have to store it at an airportyou park it in the garage at home.The carplane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight o
29、f 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 into marginal(临界)conditions.The Transitions price tag: $194,000. But there may be additional charges for options like a
30、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 than 70 orders with deposits. “Were working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps，” Brown
31、 said.56. 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.

34、 Be Just Around The Corner B. Which To Choose: A Ferrari Or A CarPlane? C. A More Convenient And Cheaper Way To Fly D. Cars With Wings Can Fly As Fast As PlaneBThe career of Henrik Ibsen was directly influenced by his childhoo. In later years, the great playwright remembered only a cruel, angry fath
35、er, forced by business defeats to move the family to an old farm outside Skien, Norway. Ibsens 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
36、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 st
37、age manager, first in Bergen, then in Oslo, he did better, but lost the latter job when the theater closed down. The experience was not altogether wasted. At Bergen, Ibsens agreement required him to provide one new play each year, and although none of the five he produced was well received, the requ
38、irment 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
39、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
40、 clothes and became a well-dressed, neatly barbered, distinguished writer.61. Which of the following best describes Ibsens childhood?A. Lonely. B. Peaceful. C. Unhappy. D. Surprising.62.

Experience is the best teacher.C. Failure is the mother of success. D. Wisdom is better than gold or silver.CKoala bears as pets migh
42、t 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 ou
43、t from South Australia in the 1920s. However, rehabilitation 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
44、 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.65. What is the authors attitude towards people raising
45、the koala?A. Passive. B. Grateful. C. Negative. D. Enthusiastic.66. 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.67.

46、demandingC. koala bears are not particular about their food. D. koala bears are the No.1 threatened animal in the US.DIt 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

48、ennet 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
49、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 came down 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 possess
50、ion 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 a
51、ffect 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
52、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.”68. The sentence “. a single man in posses
