19、nsported quickly after being folded and packedD细节理解题。根据第二段最后“the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly.It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed”，可知，Hoverbike能够很快地进出小空间。它可快速地在大陆上移动，因为它可以折叠和包装。D项符合文章内容。【解题策略】细节理解题正确选项的几大特征：通常细节题的正确选项
20、有以下特征：1.对原文句子中的关键词进行替换。把原文中的一些词换成意义相近的词，成为正确选项。如D项就是对原句的关键词进行了替换。原文说能快速进入小空间，在陆地上快速移动，是因为它能折叠和包装。而D项说折叠和包装后可快速运输。2.词性或者语态的变化。把原文中的一些词变换一下词性，或者改变原文句子的时态或语态，给考生制造障碍。如C项把未然当成已然(句中的将来进行时表未做)，C项完成时表完成。3.语言简化。把原文中的复杂语言现象进行简化，成为正确答案。4.张冠李戴的手法来迷惑考生。把A的观点说成B的观点等。如选项B。所以做题时要仔细地辨认。6Peter Coker uses the example
21、 of a Formula One racing car to show that .Athe Jetpack is very safe and reliableBthe engine of the Jetpack is powerfulCthe actual structure of the Jetpack is uniqueDthe Jetpack can reach a great speed and heightA推理判断题。第六段Peter Coker说Jetpack从一开始就围绕安全进行的，安全可靠性是最重要的因素。我们在车的现行结构中植入了安全性，非常类似于Formula One
22、赛车。分析选项可知A项(Jetpack安全可靠)符合题意，故选A项。7The underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refers to .Athe jet streamBthe engineCthe JetpackDthe parachuteD词义猜测题。根据最后一段Mr.Coker says it also has a parachute (降落伞) that can be used，if there should be an emergency.“It starts to work at very low altitude.”，可知，Jetp
23、ack上的降落伞，(它)是在海拔低时才用。由此可知it指的是parachute (降落伞)，故选D项。8What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage?ATo describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles.BTo introduce the latest development of flying vehicles.CTo show the differences between two flying vehicles.DTo advertise the two person
24、al flying vehicles.B写作意图题。根据第一段可知，许多人一直梦想能像骑自行车一样简单的飞来飞去，科技的发展让这个梦想很快实现。然而飞行自行车的安全性和强度一直是个大问题。接着下面叙述了两家研发飞行器的公司的最新的产品，新产品把安全放在首位。分析选项，可知B项(介绍飞行器的最新发展)符合文意。.阅读七选五Youve seen news reports about people who need assistance after a natural disaster，or TV programs about how lonely and isolated older people

30、1D上文提示“你看过自然灾害后关于需要帮助的人们的新闻报道，或者关于老年人如何孤独和孤立的电视节目。也许你已经从那些露宿街头的人身边走过。”承接上文，D项切题。该项中的those things指的就是上文中提到的事情。2B下文提示“你可以选择真正感兴趣的是什么，谁或者什么事情最值得你花时间。”承接下文，B项Instead of having the choices made for you，youve got to pick.切题。该项中的pick与下文中的choose相吻合。3F此空是小标题，应该用短小精悍的祈使句，所以在F/G中选择。根据下文“After youve discovered

36、动词不定式。动词不定式短语to relax在句中作定语。员工几乎没有时间去娱乐和放松。4The考查冠词。根据语境可知，快乐工作日的意义在于如果员工能常放松、常笑的话，工作效率会更高。这里特指这种观点。5Allowing考查非谓语动词。动名词短语Allowing workers to have fun在句中作主语。6like考查介词。根据后文列举的例子可知，此处应填like，表示“像那样的”。7experts考查名词。根据语境可知，快乐工作这个话题被专家研究过，expert为可数名词，故用其复数形式。8called考查非谓语动词。此处过去分词called在句中作a book的后置定语。9helps考查谓语动词。名词短语fun at work在句中作主语，谓语动词要用单数形式。故填helps。10happily考查副词。每个人每天都应该快乐地工作，生活正是如此。
