AeroMobil, a Slovakian company, plans to start selling its creation, the AeroMobil 3.0. in 2018.The company claims on its site that the vehicle “transforms in seconds from an automobile to an airplane” by using “existing infrastructure created for automobiles and planes.” The v

18、ehicle is gas-powered and has wings that fold, which allows it to be parked like a car, though it is nearly 20 feet long.The companys web site features a video where the AeroMobil 3.0 drives out of a hangar (飞机库) and goes down a highway, sharing the road with regular cars until it arrives at an airs

19、trip. The car then unfolds its wings and takes off from a stretch of grass, rather than a paved tarmac (停机坪) , and flies through the air like any other small airplane.AeroMobil spokesman Stefan Vadocz said his company hasnt nailed down an exact price because its not ready yet.“The prototype is a wor

20、k in progress,” he said in an email. But he said to expect the price to be several hundreds of thousands of euros, somewhere in between a sports car and a light sports aircraft. The vehicle seats two people the pilot and a passenger and its single propeller (螺旋桨) is located to the rear of the plane.

21、 The company said the cars top speed on the road is at least 99 mph and while flying is at least 124 mph. It can fly for 435 miles before running out of gas. It has a steel framework and carbon coating and is powered by a Rotax 912, a four-cylinder aircraft engine from BRP of Austria.Flying cars are

22、nt exactly new. The concept has been around since long before “The Jetsons” popularized the idea in the 1960s. Its been a regular topic in Popular Science ever since the famous pilot Eddie Rickenbacker in World War I wrote about it in 1924. But getting a practical, reliable flying car off the ground

23、 has been a serious challenge. Glenn Curtiss, a strong competitor of the Wright Brothers, discovered this in 1918 when he developed the Curtiss Autoplane. It turned out to be more of a hopper than a flyer, so it failed to take off with the public.The AeroMobil 3.0 has at least one competitor, the Te

The passage i

27、s mainly about _.A. the working principles of a flying carB. the introduction to a new inventionC. the comparison between different productsD. the advantages of the AeroMobil 3.0 over regular cars CThe human face is a remarkable piece of work. The astonishing variety of facial features helps people

28、recognize each other and is vital to the formation of complex societies. So is the faces ability to send emotional signals, whether through an unconscious red face or the artifice of a false smile. People spend much of their waking lives reading faces, for signs of attraction, hatred, trust and frau

29、d. They also spend plenty of time trying to hide true feelings or intentions.Technology is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces. In America facial recognition is used by churches to track worshippers attendance; in Britain, by retailers to spot past shoplifters. In China, it conf

30、irms the identities of ride-hailing drivers, permits tourists to enter attractions and lets people pay for things with a smile. Apples new iPhone is expected to use it to unlock the home screen.Set against human skills, such applications might seem incremental(增值的). Some breakthroughs, such as fligh

31、t or the Internet, obviously transform human abilities; facial recognition seems only to encode(编码) them. Although faces are unique to individuals, they are also public, so technology does not, at first sight, interfere with something that is private. And yet the ability to record, store and analyze

32、 images of faces cheaply, quickly and on a vast scale promises one day to bring about fundamental changes to opinions of privacy, fairness and trust.Start with privacy. One big difference between faces and other biometric data, such as fingerprints, is that they work at a distance. Anyone with a pho

33、ne can take a picture for facial-recognition programs to use. Facebooks bank of facial images cannot be used by others, but the Silicon Valley giant could obtain pictures of visitors to a car showroom, say, and later use facial recognition to serve them ads for cars. Law-enforcement agencies now hav

34、e a powerful weapon in their ability to track criminals, but at enormous potential cost to citizens privacy.The face is not just a name-tag. It displays a lot of other informationand machines can read that, too. Again, that promises benefits. Some firms are analyzing faces to provide automated diagn

35、oses of rare genetic conditions, far earlier than would otherwise be possible. Systems that measure emotion may give autistic(孤独症的) people a grasp of social signals they find difficult.27. Which of the following statement about facial recognition is true according to the passage?A. It is widely appl

36、ied by Chinese in many fields.B. It is applied to track worshippers by American churchesC. It has been applied by Apple to unlock home screen.D. It is applied to catch thieves by police.28.

48、list of thoughtful responses that Ive offered.
