Soru 1 |
It is safe to bet that a flying motorcycle will never be a practical transportation option. Yet, this process has not stopped an engineering firm in California from playing the long odds. The company is building a prototype called the Switchblade, and it hopes to sell a do-it-yourself kit as early as 2015. Attractive design and the promise of having air and ground transport in one package have kept alive dreams of a flying vehicle. A three-wheel design was chosen because it meets the definition of a motorcycle, which is not as highly regulated as cars are. For example, motorcycles do not need bumpers, which would make a flying vehicle heavier and more expensive. As the company envisions it, occupants would sit in the aerodynamic Switchblade, in climate-controlled luxury with an instrument display that switches from air to ground readings on landing. The Switchblade will succeed, the company believes, because it will transform easily between transportation in the air and on the ground. If pilots encountered bad weather while flying, they could put down at an airstrip, fold in the wings and finish the trip by travelling on the ground with no manual disassembly. The reality, however, is more complicated, given that aircraft are prohibited from operating on roads and tightly regulated as to how close they can fly to homes, military installations and environmentally sensitive areas.
The Switchblade will not have traditional bumpers as these would ----.
be impossible to use on a three-wheel design | |
make the vehicle look unattractive | |
add to the cost of the product | |
require more detailed regulation | |
make the do-it-yourself kit more complex |

According to the passage, one of the biggest advantages of the Switchblade is that it will ----.
be easy to switch from flying to driving mode | |
be able to land on all types of roads | |
take fewer resources to build | |
have the capacity to fly in all weather conditions | |
look luxurious but be quite inexpensive |

The author of the passage believes that ----.
a flying motorcycle could be damaging to the
environment

there could be problems that the company has not
taken into consideration | |
the military authorities will never approve of the
production of the Switchblade | |
building the Switchblade is more difficult than people
realize
| |
it is unrealistic to say there will be no manual
disassembly |

It can be inferred from the passage that ----.
the government is quite supportive of the company’s
efforts to produce a flying motorcycle
| |
a flying motorcycle will never be really popularly
used
| |
the company will spend a lot of money as it
develops this new product | |
there is a lot of demand for such an innovative
product as a flying motorcycle | |
the development of a flying motorcycle will not be
based on scientific principles
