The world’s largest aircraft has taken to the skies for the first time. (5) The Airlander 10 spent nearly two hours in the air, having taken off from Cardington airfield in Bedfordshire. During its flight, it reached 3,000 feet and performed a series of gentle turns all over a safe area. The aircraft is massive as long as a football field and as tall as six double-decker buses and capable of flying for up to five days. (6) It was first developed for the U.S. government as a long-range spy aircraft but was abandoned following budget cutbacks. (7) The aircraft cost £25 million and can carry heavier loads than huge jet planes while also producing less noise and emitting less pollution. The makers believe it’s the future of aircraft and one day we’ll be using them to go places, but there’s still a long way to go. The Airlander will need to have 200 hours flying time before being allowed to fly by the Aviation Administration. If it passes, though we can hope we’ll all get some extra leg room.
Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.
5. What do we learn about the first flight of the Airlander 10?
6. What caused the U.S. government to abandon the Airlander 10 as a spy aircraft?
7. What is the advantage of the Airlander 10 over huge jet planes?
选项
A、It uses the latest aviation technology.
B、It flies faster than a commercial jet.
C、It is a safer means of transportation.
D、It is more environmentally friendly.
答案
D
解析
浏览四个选项,从选项中的latest, faster, safer, environmentally friendly等词可推测,此题与飞行器的优势有关。题干问的是和巨大的喷气式飞机相比,天空登陆者10号的优势是什么。新闻后半部分提到,天空登陆者10号耗资2500万英镑,和巨大的喷气式飞机相比,它承重大、噪音小、污染少。由此可知,天空登陆者10号更加环保,故答案为D。A项(它运用了最先进的航空技术)、B项(它比商用飞机飞行的速度快)和C项(它是一种更安全的交通方式)新闻中均未提及,故排除。
