22．（8分）f cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2011.The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2011.
“It’s the next‘wow’vehicle，”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh.“Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don’t fly.”
The car plane has wings that unfold for flying—a process the company says takes one minute—and fold back up for driving.A runway is still required to take off and land.
The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both.The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.
The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly.They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you’re good to go.When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road.There are no expensive parking fees because you don’t have to store it at an airport—you park it in the garage at home.
The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet.It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers.Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界)conditions.
The Transition’s price tag: $194,000, But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, transponder or GPS.Another option is a full-plane parachute.
“If you get into a very awful situation,itis the necessary safety option,”Gersh said.
So far,the company has more than 70 orders with deposits.“We’re working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps,”Brown said.
1、We can learn from the first paragraph that .
A．car-planes will be popular in 2011
B．people might drive a car-plane in 2011
C．both Transition and Ferrari can take off and land
D．Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts
2、lt takes the car-plane one minute to .
A．fold and unfold its wings B．unfold wings for flying

A．The car-plane needs a runway to take off and land.
B．To mcet aircraft regulations, the company has been working with FAA．
C．The car-plane may fly as high as normal planes.
D．People can park the car-plane in the garage at their home.
4、.The underlined word“it”in the last but one paragraph refers to .

23．（8分）Dear Miss Hanff，
You will be glad to know that the two boxes of eggs and the tins of tongue have all arrived safely and once again we all wish to thank you most sincerely for your extreme generosity. Mr. Martin，one of the older members of our staff, has been on the sick list for some time and we therefore let him have the lion’s share of the eggs, one whole boxful in fact, and of course he was delighted to get them. The tins of tongue look very inviting and will be a welcome addition to our larders (食物橱) and in my case will be put on one side for a special occasion.
I enquired at all the local music shops but was unable to get the Messiah or Bach’s St. Matthew Passion in stiff covers in clean, secondhand copies, and then I found they were available from the publisher in new editions. Their prices seemed a bit high, but I thought I had better get them and they have been sent by Book Post a few days ago, so should arrive any day now. Our invoice，total $4.20, is enclosed with the books.
We are sending you a little gift for Christmas. We do hope you will not have to pay any duty on it. We will mark it “Christmas Gift” and keep our fingers crossed. Anyway，we hope you will like it and accept it with our sincere best wishes for Christmas and the coming year.
My name is certainly not of Welsh origin. As it is pronounced to rhyme with the French word “Noel”，I think there may be a possibility that it originated in France.
Yours sincerely,
Frank Doel

24．（8分） As the weather gets colder, we start wearing jackets, and most of us stop thinking about the sun. But the sun’s rays can be just as harmful when it’s cold and cloudy outside. “Any exposed area of your body can still get sunburned,” Dr. Apple Bodemer, an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told Live Science.
Whether you spend a day on the slopes, skating on a pond or clearing snow out of your driveway, your face is still getting exposed to the sun’s radiation in the form of ultraviolet (紫外线) (UV) light, which can go deep into your skin cells causing DNA damage, according to Bodemer.
The sun’s long ultraviolet A (UVA) waves can cause earlier aging, sunspots and wrinkles, while its short ultraviolet B (UVB) rays are known for causing skin reddening and burns.
Skin damage caused by UV exposure increases over time. More exposure to radiation contributes to more severe damage, even skin cancer. In addition, snow and ice can also make sun damage worse. They reflect up to 80 percent of UV rays reaching the ground. That means you get hit from both the sky and the ground. And skiers and snowboarders increase their risk of getting sunburned even more because UV exposure increases at higher altitudes.
“Generally, the biggest factor for sun-sensitivity is how pale your skin is,” he said. “But, the reality is that even the darkest individual can get sun damage.”
Luckily, the solution for protecting your skin is simple: Wear sunscreen every day. Rigel recommended using sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30, and going higher at high altitudes. As a rule of thumb, SPF 30 will block 97 percent of UVB rays, SPF 50 blocking 98 percent, and SPF 100 blocking 99 percent. Whatever kind of sunscreen you use, it’s important to apply SPF about once every 2 hours.
Rigel also suggested sunscreens with “broad spectrum (光谱)”—to protect against both UVB and UVA rays—as well as sunscreens that are water resistant for up to 80 minutes. That way, you can go about your day without it wearing off too quickly.
1、Which of the statements best describes UV lights?
A．UVB lights cause much less damage to skin than UVA lights.
B．Skin damage from UV lights can he totally prevented by sunscreen.
C．Snow and ice make people suffer much more from UV light damage.
D．People outdoors needn’t worry about getting sunburned on a cold day.
2、Which is the most vital factor as for sun damage?
A．Your skin color. B．The clothes you wear.
C．The altitude of your place. D．The weather when you are outside.
3、What do we know about sunscreen?
A．The lower sunscreen SPF is, the better effect it will have.
B．People working in high mountains need sunscreen SPF30.
C．Applying sunscreen once when outside is necessary.
D．Water resistant sunscreen can be applied once every 80 minutes.
4、What may be the best title for the text?
A．Being Exposed to Sun Rays B．Ultraviolet A & Ultraviolet B
C．Getting Less Sunburn in Winter D．Different Kinds Of Sunscreens
