Question

A science fiction flying car looks like a normal car, but it is an aircraft (飞行器) that anybody can fly directly from any place to another without using roads or runways. Science fiction writers have written about flying cars for a long time. But now flying cars will soon fly out of the world of science fiction into our real world. And the dream of the science fiction writers will soon come true.

The first-known sky car is the FSC-1. The FSC-1 looks like an expensive sports car. You can drive the FSC-1 on the road like a normal car. If you touch a button, its wings and propeller (螺旋桨) fold out and then it can take off, fly and land as an airplane. The owners of the FSC-1 can choose if they want to drive or fly.

Another flying car or sky car is the Moller Skycar M400. Although you can’t drive it on the roads, it is small and easy to fly and can take off and land like a helicopter (直升飞机). Urban Aeronautics’ X-Hawk is another type of sky car. It is expected to be available for about $3 million.

Just like any new technology, flying cars have taken a long time to be developed. But some experts think the technology is far from what people imagine when they are sitting in traffic. It still needs to be improved.

1.A细节理解题。根据文中The first-known sky car is the FSC-1. Another flying car or sky car is the Moller Skycar M400.可知该文提到了两种飞行汽车，所以选A。

2.C细节理解题。根据第一段中But now flying cars will soon fly out of the world of science fiction into our real world. And the dream of the science fiction writers will soon come true.可知但现在，飞行汽车将很快飞出科幻小说的世界，进入我们的现实世界。而科幻小说作家的梦想将很快实现。所以选C。

3.D细节理解题。根据第二段中You can drive the FSC-1 on the road like a normal car. If you touch a button, its wings and propeller (螺旋桨) fold out and then it can take off, fly and land as an airplane.可知你可以像普通汽车一样驾驶FSC-1。如果你触摸一个按钮，它的机翼和螺旋桨折叠然后就可以像一架飞机起飞，飞行和降落。所以选D。

4.B细节理解题。根据第三段中Another flying car or sky car is the Moller Skycar M400. Although you can’t drive it on the roads, it is small and easy to fly and can take off and land like a helicopter可知Moller Skycar M400可以像一架直升机起飞，但不能像汽车一样在马路上行驶，所以选B。

5.最后一段中But some experts think the technology is far from what people imagine when they are sitting in traffic. It still needs to be improved.可知一些专家认为，这一技术远离人们想象，它仍然需要改进。所以选C。
