27、sed in Woburn,Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2012. “Its the next wow vehicle, ” said Terrafugia, vice president Richard Gersh.“Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris dont fly.” The car-plane has wings that unfold for flyi
28、nga process the company says takes one minuteand 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 wi
29、th 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 of trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from a
30、irports: you drive the car to the airport and then youre good to go.When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road.There are no expensive parking fees because you dont have to store it at an airportyou park it in the garage at home. The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet
31、.It has a maximum take-off 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(边缘的 ) conditions. The Transitions price tag: $194,000.But there may be a

36、 1】 B 【小题 2】 B 【小题 3】 C 【小题 4】 D Mark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel.And he surely deserves additional praise: the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism. I say clever because anti-slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years
37、before the Civil War.H.B.Stowes Uncle Toms Cabin is only the most famous example.These early stories dealt directly with slavery.With minor exceptions,Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely.He drew his readers into the arg
38、ument by drawing them into the story. Again and again, in the postwar years, Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race.Consider the most controversial, at least today, of Twains novels,Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleber
39、ry Finn, Twains most widely read tale.Once upon a time,people hated the book because it struck them as rude.Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel “trash and suitable only for the slums(贫民窟 ) ”More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim, the
40、 escaped slave, and many occurences of the word nigger.(The term Nigger Jim, for which the novel is often severely criticized, never appears in it.) But the attacks were and are sillyand miss the point.The novel is strongly anti -slavery.Jims search through the slave states for the family from whom
41、he has been forcibly parted is heroic.As J Chadwick has pointed out, the character of Jim was a first in American fictiona recognition that the slave had two personalities , “the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual: Jim,the father and the man.” There is muc
42、h more.Twains mystery novel Puddnhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day.Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior(低等的 )to whites, especially in intelligence, Twains tale centered in part around two babies switched a
43、t birth.A slave gave birth to her masters baby and, for fear that the child should be sold South,switched him for the masters baby by his wife.The slaves lightskinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and the education of the slave-holding class.The masters wifes baby w
44、as taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave. The point was difficult to miss: nurture(养育 ), not nature, was the key to social status.The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudicemanner of speech, for examplewere , to Twain, indicative of nothin
45、g other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims. Twains racial tone was not perfect.One is left uneasy, for example, by the lengthy passage in his autobiography(自传 )about how much he loved what were called“nigger shows”in his youthmostly with white men performing in black-faceand hi
46、s delight in getting his mother to laugh at them.Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality.His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not. Was Twain a racist? Asking the question in the 21st century is as wise as asking th
47、e same of Lincoln.If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the“wisdom”of the considered moral judgments of the present, we will find nothing but error.Lincoln, who believed the black man the inferior of the white, fought and won a war to free him.And Twain, raised in a slave state, bri
48、efly a soldier, and inventor of Jim, may have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century. 【小题 1】 How do Twains novels on slavery differ from Stowes A Twain was more willng to deal with racism. B Twains attack on raci
