Module 2 Traffic Jam
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2020·湖北省孝感市第一中学高三月考)Last week, two companies, Kitty Hawk and
Uber, announced their plans to bring flying cars to reality very soon.
Kitty Hawk president, Sebastian Thrun, announced Kitty Hawks flying car plans
last Monday. According to its website, the car is electricpowered and will be able
to travel at a speed up to 40 kilometers an hour. It says such a machine “does not
require registration or a pilots license and may be flown in uncrowded areas for
recreational purposes.” As of now, the car can only be flown over fresh water.
Kitty Hawk is making a list of people interested in buying the flying car. They
must pay a deposit of $100.Those who get their names on the list early will receive
$2,000 off the final cost of the car. However, Kitty Hawk has not yet announced the
price. Its first flying cars are expected to go on sale by the end of this year.
Unlike the Kitty Hawk company, Uber does not plan to build its flying cars. Uber
expects to launch flying taxis in DallasFt. Worth, Texas, US by 2020.Like the Kitty
Hawk car, Uber flying taxis will use electric power. Uber says its flying taxis could
travel up to 241 kilometers an hour. The company says that could reduce the travel
time between San Francisco and San Jose, California from 2 hours on the road to 15
minutes in the air.
Riders could use the Uber app to book a flying taxi to take them to their
destinations. The company has not yet said how costly air taxi travel would be compared
to road taxi travel.
Sooner than you think, flying cars may appear in the sky. Much convenience as
they will bring, just imagine having to avoid other flying cars. Also, what if your
battery dies when you are in the air? And, how will you know where to land?
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。上周,Kitty Hawk 和 Uber 两家公司宣布他们很快就会使
飞行汽车成为现实。文章具体介绍了两家公司研制的飞行汽车的一些特点。
