Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company clor to its goal of lling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle—named the Transition—has two ats, 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 tho numbers will likely ri 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.

Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come clor than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to u special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.
Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration's decision five years ago to create a parate t of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than tho for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.
文章大意：本文是一篇科普说明文。Terrafugia公司研制出飞行汽车并成功进行了第一次飞行，使飞行汽车成为现实更进一步。

1．明星的照片What is the first paragraph mainly about？_A__
A．The basic data of the Transition.
B．The advantages of flying cars.
C．The potential market for flying cars.
C．The designers of the Transition.
解析：考查段落大意。第一段的第二句“like a car”介绍了飞行汽车Transition的构造，第一段的后半部分介绍了它的空中飞行速度、陆地行驶速度和油耗情况，这些都是飞行汽车的基本数据。故选A项。
2．Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways？内盘和外盘_C__
A． It caus traffic jams.
B． It is difficult to operate.
C． It is very expensive.
D． It burns too much fuel.
解析：考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“But don't expect it to show up in too many driveways.It's expected to cost $279,000共工触山的故事”可知，该飞行汽车是非常贵的，所以不太可能大量出现在车道上。故选C项。

鼻子长痣好不好By the end of the century，if not sooner，the world's oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate，according to a new study.
At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms(海洋微生物) called phytoplankton.Becau of the way light reflects off the organisms，the phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface.Ocean colour varies from green to blue，depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton.Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas，while reducing it in other spots，leading to changes in the ocean's appearance.
