However, some people dream of a day when they can fly in the sky. In Singapore, a company （公司）has showed a flying taxi. When some people travel in flying taxis, there will be fewer cars on the roads. It can be less crowded. In the 3D space（空间）of the sky, cars could move around each other without bridges or roads. The taxis can also take off and arrive on rooftops. That will save parking space on the ground. And flying is fun. It’s cool and interesting to fly in the sky every day on the way to work. However, some people don’t like flying cars. A famous scientist has a rocket company and a car company. It seems that he can make flying cars, but he says, “If the sky is full of flying cars, it will be noisier. Something may fall on people’s heads more easily. It’s dangerous.” He thinks it’s much better to build lots of tunnels（隧道）underground. Are flying cars or taxis a good idea?

What’s the best title for the text? A. Should People Choose Flying Cars? B. When Can People Have Flying Cars? C. Do People Really Know Flying Cars? D. What Is the Danger of Flying Cars? 【答案】11. C 12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一种新型的飞行车。 【11题详解】 目的意图题。根据“However, some people dream of a day when they can fly in the sky.”及内容可知，是为了引入飞行车这个主题，故选C。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。 根据“When some people travel in flying taxis, there will be fewer cars on the roads. It can be less crowded. In the 3D space (空间) of the sky, cars could move around each other without bridges or roads. The taxis can also take off and arrive on rooftops. That will save parking space on the ground.”可知，飞行车的出现可以减少地面的拥堵，它们是在屋顶起飞和降落的，故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。 根据“If the sky is full of flying cars, it will be noisier.”可知，飞行车会带来更多噪音，所以①错误，故排除A、B；根据“Something may fall on people’s heads more easily. It’s dangerous.”及“And flying is fun. It’s cool and interesting to fly in the sky every day on the way to work.”可知，飞行车会很有趣，但有危险，所以③错误，⑤正确，排除D，故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。 根据“A famous scientist has a rocket company and a car company…He thinks it’s much better to build lots of tunnels (隧道) underground.”可知，科学家认为修建地下隧道是更好的，即：发展地下交通，故选D。 【15题详解】 最佳标题题。 根据全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了一种新型的飞行车，根据第二段是支持的观点，第三段是反对的观点及最后一段“Are flying cars or taxis a good idea? Shall we find other ways to solve the traffic problems?”可知，对于飞行车的使用还是存在疑虑的，意在让读者思考是否我们应该选择飞行车，故选A。 D Today, big shopping festivals like “June 18” and “Double 11” are very popular.
