For centuries men dreamed of achieving vertical flight. In 400 A. D. Chinese children played with a fan-like toy that spun upwards and fell back to the earth as rotation ceased. Leonardo da Vinci conceived the first mechanical apparatus, called a "Helix", which could carry a man straight up, but this was only a design and was never tested.
The ancient dream was finally realized in 1940 when a Russian engineer piloted a strange looking craft of steel tubing with a rotating fan on top. It rose awkwardly and vertically into the air from a standing start, hovered a few feet above the ground, went sideways and backwards, and then settled back to the earth. That vehicle was called a helicopter.
Imaginations were fired. Men dreamed of going to work in their own personal helicopters. People anticipated that vertical flight transports would carry millions of passengers as do the airliners of today. Such fantastic expectations were not fulfilled. The helicopter has now become an extremely useful machine. It excels in military missions, carrying troops, guns and strategic instruments where other aircraft cannot go. Corporations use them as airborne offices, many metropolitan areas use them in police work, construction and logging companies employ them in various advantageous ways, engineers use them for site selection and surveying; and oil companies use them as the best way to make offshore and remote work stations accessible to crews and supplies. Any urgent mission to a hard-to-get-to place is a likely task for a helicopter. Among their other multitude of uses: deliver people across town, fly to and from airports, assist in rescue work, and aid in the search for missing or wanted persons. [br] What is said about the development of the helicopters from the passage?
选项
A、People came up with the conceptual idea of a helicopter in this century.
B、Helicopters were thought to be much more dangerous than the early airplanes.
C、Chinese children were the first to experience flights in helicopters.
D、Some people thought that helicopters would develop into popular use one day.
答案
D
解析
选项A不正确,因为直升飞机这个想法由来已久;B项无从谈起,C项认为中国孩子是最早乘坐直升飞机的也不对。根据原文第三段第二句话:人们梦想乘坐自己的直升飞机去上班。可见人们希望直升飞机能得到广泛的日常应用。因此,正确答案是D项。
