The dream of personalised flight is still vivid in the minds of many inventors, some developing cycle-powered craft, others【C1】________ money into jetpacks (喷气飞行背包). However, the flying car has always remained the【C2】________ symbol of personal transport freedom.
Several companies around the world have produced【C3】________ that can drive on roads and fly. Airbus has a futuristic modular (组件式的) concept involving a passenger capsule that can be【C4】________ from the road-going chassis (底盘) and picked up by a helicopter-type machine.
But all these concepts are massively expensive, require safety certification standards for road and air, need【C5】________ controls, involve complex folding wings and propellers, and have to be flown from air-strips. So they are likely to remain rich people’s playthings rather than practical transport solutions for the masses.
"A car that takes off from some London street and lands in another【C6】________ street is unlikely to happen," says Prof. Gray, a leading aeronautical engineer. " Sky taxis are much more likely. " But that won’t stop inventors from dreaming up new ways to fly and trying to persuade investors to back their sometimes【C7】________ schemes.
Civilian aviation is being disrupted, not by the age-old desires for speed, romanticism and【C8】________ but by the pressing need to respond to a changing climate. New electric engines coupled with artificial intelligence and【C9】________ systems will contribute to a more efficient, integrated transport system that is less polluting and less noisy. That may sound simple, but as Prof. Gray says, " When I travel somewhere I like this notion that when I finish my journey I feel better than when I started it. That’s completely at【C10】________ with how I feel today. " Now that would be progress.
A) autonomous F) odds K) random
B) detached G) opposites L) repressing
C) dual H) outrageous M) segmented
D) glamour I) pouring N) spectrum
E) imminent J) prototypes O) ultimate [br] 【C10】
选项
答案
F
解析
名词辨析题。空格位于两个介词之间,应填入名词,构成介词短语。空格所在句以及上一句都提到了。feel一词,上一句是指格雷教授希望得到的感受,空格句是指现实中真正的感受,根据句意可推测两种感受是不一致的。be at odds意为“相矛盾,有差异”,符合句意,故选择F)odds。G)opposites虽然也有“对立物,反面”之意,但一般使用单数且搭配介词of,故排除。
