The place is a lovely meadow surrounded by deep woods on a hilltop overlooking a beautiful lake in theCatskill Mountains 120 miles from New York. It is quarter past eight in the morning, and you are about to commute to your office in the city. Yet there is no paved highway nearer than fifteen miles, and it is fifty to a railroad station.
41) __________________________________________. The aircraft, looking oddly like a horizontal electric fan, drones toward you. When the pilot is directly overhead, all forward movement of the machine ceases and it descends vertically until the cabin door is within a foot of the grounD、On the machine’s gray side is painted HelicopterExpress to New York. The door opens and you step inside.
Fifty minutes later the helicopter bus hovers over a midtown New York building, descends slowly to alight on a roof space some sixty yards square. You go into the building, take the elevator to the street below, and walk half a block to your office. Not quite an hour has elapsed since you drank your morning coffee in your home.
42) ______________________________________.
In the air age of tomorrow, the manufacture, sale, and upkeep of the direct—lift machine will become a billion—dollar industry just as the automobile industry. There will be many startling changes in our way of life.
43) ________________________________________________.A、cheap, swift helicopter bus service will ferry these people to and from their work. Suburbs will include ten thousand or more square miles. Real estate values will come within the reach of average incomes, and the people will literally return to the good earth.
44) _________________________________________________.But the short haul of less than 1000 miles is equally the task of the helicopter, which can do it with the greatest efficiency.
Express and air mail will be carried from the airports to final destination by helicopter. There will be a direct—lift machine service to take airliner passengers from the airport to the city in a few minutes. There will be special delivery of perishable food to your door.
The winter growth of fresh vegetables such as beans and tomatoes, celery and lettuce, in the warm South and the Far West has been hitherto restricted because of cost and time or transportation to market. The airline and helicopter freight service will speed such healthy foods to the ends of the nation.
45) __________________________________________________________..
[A] Most important is that hundreds of thousands of people can return to the health and beauty of the countryside. Millions of acres of hitherto inaccessible land will be developed with small homes for medium-or low-income groups.
[B]And a new type of architecture-perhaps a house with a flat roof and a pleasantly designed helicopter hangar to one side of it, so that you have only to wheel the machine a few feet to take off.
[C]Does this sound like a fantasy imagined by science fiction writers? If so, I can assure you, as a practical aeronautical engineer, that such a trip is neither fantastic nor impractical. I am convinced that a helicopter bus service is not only practicable but, in fact, inevitable.
[D] Hence our eating habits will change perhaps more than we realize. Strawberries in January, as it were, available for all. The airline and helicopter freight service render all this possible.
[E] Private and bus helicopters will make possible vacations at seashore or mountain for countless thousands. The helicopter will destroy space for millions of people. Nothing is more delightful than touring in a helicopter. To hover and fill one’s eyes with an enchanting vista is to bring joy to the soul.
[F] Now you hear a low hum, and over the horizon appears a flying machine. You press the button of a box nearby and a radio signal flashes to the machine.
[G] Long-distance transportation of passengers and freight over land and sea will definitely remain the job for the large airplane.

41．F 本题涉及前后段的内容把握，由于前三段是描述便捷的直升飞机为“you”服务的过程，所以F项应为正确答案。 42．C 本题考察考生对全文，尤其前三段与下文的逻辑关系的把握能力。作为一个自然的过渡，既与上面的描述衔接，又与下文的内容呼应，C项是最佳选择，C中的“this”很重要。 43．A 本题既涉及考生对文章的整体结构（尤其第五段末的全文核心句）的把握，又涉及考生对下文的句意内容的理解。能够满足这两个要求的选项为A。 44．G 本题考察考生对段落内部逻辑的把握。既然下文说“But the short haul （运输）of less than 1000 miles is equally the task of the helicopter”，对应的上文就该是G项。 45．E 本题考察考生对文章结构的把握能力。既然第五段末句说了“many changes”，而文章6－10段分别讲述直升飞机的服务对人类生活带来的各种变化，那么45题，即第十段的内容应是E项。D项与上段内容重复。 查看试题解析出处>>
