26、 You wait 50 years for a flying car,and then three come along at once.First up is Vahana:an airbus project to develop batterypowered,single- seater aircraft,designed to follow predetermined routes,only changing directions to avoid accidents.Propellers(螺旋桨)on the wings will let it take off and land without a runway.
Second,Dubai recently announced plans to use self-controlled air taxis as a way to beat the terrible traffic jams.The Volocopter is an electric multi-copter with 18 propellers and a fully self-controlled system.It’s essentially a self-controlled aircraft with two seats and up to 30 minutes of flying time.
But,if you want something more like the flying cars of 1950s science fiction,try Urban Aeronautics’ Fancraft.The Israel-based company wants to realize the dream of”an aircraft that looks like the classic vision of a flying car:doesn’t have a wing,doesn’t have a propeller that can be seen,and can fly exactly from point to point,”says Janina Frankel-Yoeli,Urban Aeronautics’ vice president of marketing.Earlier flying cars needed runways to take off and land which was,as Frankel-Yoeli says,”not much better than owning a car and an aircraft.”To go from point to point requires vertical take-off and landing,but for many years that could only be done by helicopters or larger aircraft.Urban Aeronautics’ solution is to use light but powerful engines,lightweight materials,and a self-controlled system.Their fan design-propellers housed in some special tubes-is powerful but unstable,so the Fancraft would be challenging for a human to fly without any help.Instead,computer-aided control technology takes over the tiny,quick changes required to keep the car stable at speeds of 160km/h or more.
But don’t be glad too early yet.The main problem to a sky full of flying cars is rules.Not only will every aircraft need to pass strict safety tests,but a new system of air traffic control will be needed to deal with 3-D traffic jams above people who are not aware of what is happening in the sky.NASA is already working on that.Tests have shown that multiple unmanned(无人的) flying cars can communicate with each other to avoid accidents.In the meantime,flying cars will mainly be reserved for emergency services and a few VIPs.
【1】Vahana is different from the Volocopter in that____
A.it is power-free
B.it is self controlled
C.its routes are fixed
D.its propellers can be seen
【2】The underlined word”vertical”in the third paragraph most probably means____
A.going straight up or down
B.flying high and fast
C.going across back or forth
D.flying quietly and safely
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.NASA helps flying cars to communicate.
B.There will be no traffic jams if cars can fly.
C.Rules for flying cars have already been made.
D.It is unusual for ordinary people to use flying cars.

28、Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.
I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund (基金).
For weeks, I’ve been thinking of bigger, deeper questions. How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball-simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.
We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.
【1】What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects?
A.Saving up for her holiday
B.Raising money for a poor girl money
C.Adding the money to her fund
D.Giving the money to a sick mother
【2】Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd?
A.To try out an idea.
B.To show a parent’s love
C.To train his attention.
D.To help him start a hobby
【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Take it or Leave it
B.A Lesson from Kids
C.The Pleasure of Giving
D.Live More with Less

31、课文内容填空
Middle English is the name 【1】(give) to the English used from around the 12th to the 15th centuries. Many things played a part in the 【2】(develop) of this new type of English. The most important 【3】(贡献) was from the Normans, a 【4】 (French speak) people who【5】 (打败) England and took control of the country in 1066. 【6】, the Norman Conquest did not affect English as much as the Angles and the Saxons’ victory about 600 years earlier, which led to Old English 【7】 (replace) Celtic. Even though the Normans spoke French for the e【8】 250 years they ruled England, French did not replace English 【9】 the first language. On the other hand, the English language did borrow many words from French. This resulted in even more words with similar meanings, such as answer (from Old English) and reply (from Old French). It is interesting to learn 【10】 the words for animals and meat developed.
