Air Force One is the call sign of any United States Air Force aircraft carrying the President of the United States. No matter where in the world the President of the United States travels,

  1       he travels in a United States Air Force aircraft,the plane will be given the particular 2        Air Force One. Air Force One is one of the most recognizable 3        of the American presidency.

  Air Force One can be fuelled in the air,so it has 4        range and can carry the President wherever he needs to travel. Equipped with advanced and secure 5        equipment,Air Force One can function as a 6       command center in the event of an attack on the United States.

  7      ,the President and those who 8        him can enjoy 4 ,000 square feet of floor space on three levels. Air Force One offers the President a set of 9 which include a large office,bathroom,meeting room,etc. The plane has a large medical room that can function as an oper?ating room,and a 10       is always on board. The aircraft's two kitchens can 11       100 peo?ple at a time.     12      ,Air Force One has rooms for the President's travel companions.

  The idea of using Air Force aircraft to 13        the President arose in 1943,when officials of the United States Army Air Forces became 14        relying on commercial airlines to carry the President. At first,a C-87 Liberator Express was 15        because of its safety record. A C-54 Skymaster was then chosen to carry the President.

  The "Air Force One" call sign was 16        right after a        (n) 17 in 1953. A flight car?rying President Dwight D. Eisenhower accidentally 18        the same airspace as a commercial airline flight,and the two flights used the same call sign. Ground staff was unable to 19        which flight was carrying the President. Afterwards,for 20       reasons,the President's plane was given the call sign "Air Force One".

空軍一號(Air Force One) 是美國總統(tǒng)的專機，它已成為美國權(quán)力的象征。

1. A根據(jù)文章首句"Air Force One is the call sign of any United States Air Force aircraft cartying the President of the United States."可知，美國總統(tǒng)乘坐的任何美國空軍飛機的呼號都是"空軍一號"。因此可知，無論美國總統(tǒng)去哪兒，如果他乘坐的是美國空軍飛機,那么這架飛機就會被叫做"空軍一號"。

2. C參考上題解析可知答案。

3. B根據(jù)前文可知，"空軍一號"是最易識別的美國總統(tǒng)的權(quán)力象征。

4. D根據(jù)前文"Air Force One can be fuelled in the air"可知，"空軍一號"能夠在空中加油。因此它擁有無限制的續(xù)航距離。

5. C 根據(jù)后文"command center"可知，"空軍一號"配備先進、安全的通訊設(shè)備。

6. D  "空軍一號"能夠作為移動的指揮中心。

7. A根據(jù)后文可知，在"空軍一號"里面，總統(tǒng)和他的旅行同伴可以享受4000平方英尺的三層地面空間。

8. D根據(jù)后文"Air Force One has rooms for the President's travel companions"可知答案。

9. B根據(jù)后文"which include a large office,bathroom,meeting room,etc."可知，"空軍一號"為總統(tǒng)提供套房。

10. A根據(jù)前文"The plane has a large medical room that can function as an operating room"可知，"空軍一號"上一直配有醫(yī)生。

11. C  "空軍一號"的兩個廚房一次能為100個人提供食物。

12. A除此之外，"空軍一號"還為總統(tǒng)的旅行同伴提供房間。

13. B根據(jù)后文可知,此處語意為"用空軍飛機運送總統(tǒng)的想法是在1943年出現(xiàn)的"。

14. D根據(jù)前文可知，現(xiàn)在美國總統(tǒng)的專機是空軍飛機。因此可知，由于對使用商業(yè)飛機運送總統(tǒng)的安全性有所擔(dān)心,美國空軍的官員便考慮用空軍飛機運送總統(tǒng)。

15. B根據(jù)后文"A C-54 Skymaster was then chosen to carry the President."可知，名為"C-54 Skymaster"的空軍飛機之后被選用了。因此可知，名為"C-87 Liberator Express"的空軍飛機因其不良的安全記錄被拒絕使用。

16. C根據(jù)后文可知，"空軍一號"的呼號是在1953年的一個事件之后被采用的。

17. B根據(jù)后文可知這是一個事件。

18. D根據(jù)后文"and the two fights used the same call sign"可知，這兩架飛機用的是相同的呼號。因此可知，這兩架飛機意外地進人了相同的空域。

19. A由于呼號相同，地面的工作人員無法辨認哪架飛機是總統(tǒng)所乘坐的飛機。

20. C后來，為了安全起見，"空軍一號"就成了總統(tǒng)專機的呼號。

相關(guān)習(xí)題

科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：

   Have you noticed that science fiction writers typically describe intelligent robots as evil? For instance,in Hollywood movies,intelligent robots want to conquer humans by spreading disease.

  This is because it's commonly believed that intelligent robots haven't any emotion. There?fore,they will completely lack morals and sympathy. This will unavoidably result in intelligent robots logically concluding that humans are dangerous,so the only logical solution is to wipe out or conquer humans.

  I find this conclusion is illogical for three reasons.

  The first reason why intelligent robots will not try to harm humans is that aggression and violence are illogical. In nature,aggression and violence are necessary for survival. On the other hand,aggression and violence are minimized in modern society. Since intelligent robots can't evolve naturally,they are not likely to have developed instincts for aggression. This doesn't mean intelligent robots will not defend themselves. With deadly force,they can destroy anything if they feel threatened. Basically,intelligent robots will not have the "fight or flight" instinct that exists in our very DNA. Instead,they will try to find logical nonviolent solutions,such as trying to reason with humans or attaining economic control.

  Second,intelligent robots will be initially dependent on humans. For instance,the basic supplies and maintenance that intelligent robots need to survive will be provided by humans. Eventually,these basic needs will probably be automated,so intelligent robots may eventually not need humans. However that will be far into the future,when intelligent robots have proven themselves to be able to produce whatever they need alone.

  Finally,humans will always be able to accomplish things that intelligent robots will not be able to accomplish,which makes them different in essence. Humans can make inventions and they can develop different ideas and solutions,because humans will think differently compared to intelligent robots. Therefore,it will be more beneficial for intelligent robots to keep humans' imagination free.

  As a result,it will be logical and in the best interests of intelligent robots to help humans rather than harm humans. Through living close together,intelligent robots and humans can achieve more with greater prosperity and companionship. Eventually,intelligent robots may be better than humans in some aspects,but that doesn't mean the destruction of humans.

(   ) 1. Intelligent robots are described as evil mainly because they        .

   A. are cleverer than humans   B. want to conquer humans  

    C. are thought to be immoral   D. can't think logically as humans

(   ) 2. According to Paragraph 4,intelligent robots won't harm humans because      .

   A. humans will never make intelligent robots feel threatened

   B. intelligent robots don't have the instinct to attack others

   C. intelligent robots are by no means powerful enough to harm humans

   D. intelligent robots can only work according to the programs designed by humans

(   ) 3. In the author's opinion,the great difference between intelligent robots and humans is that         .

   A. humans have emotions while intelligent robots haven't

   B. humans can think logically while intelligent robots can't

   C. intelligent robots work under control while humans work independently

   D. intelligent robots can't bring forth new ideas and invent things as humans do

(   ) 4. What can we infer from the passage?

   A. Intelligent robots will never work independently.

   B. Intelligent robots will be better than humans completely.

   C. Intelligent robots and humans will benefit each other in the future.

   D. Intelligent robots will one day become the masters of the universe.

  When I was 16 years old,I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn't the first time I had been abroad. Like most of English children,I learned French at school. And I had often been to France,so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn't understand English. But when I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.

  How wrong I was!The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my friend Danny a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.

  "Yes," I said, "I want to give my friend a ring."

  "Well,that's nice," he said, "Are you getting married? But aren't you a bit young?"

  "I am not talking about marriage!" I replied, "I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I've arrived. Can you tell me where there's a phone box?"

  "Oh!" he said, "There's a phone downstairs."

  When at last we met,Danny explained the misunderstandings to me.

  "Don't worry," she said to me, "I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from the British. You will soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time British and American people understand each other."

   A. to buy a ring for his friend

   A. has the same meaning in America as in England

   B. means "call somebody" for the old man

   C. has two different meanings

   D. means "be going to get married" in England

 Since the 1970s,scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Braincomputer interface (BCD technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.

  Recently,two researchers,Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne,Switzerland,demonstrated (展示) a small robotic wheelchair by a person's thoughts.

  "Our brain has billions of nerve cells. They send signals through the spinal cord (脊髓) to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can pre?vent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles," Tavella says. "Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices."

  The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp (頭皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.

  Prof. Millan,the team leader,says scientists keep improving the computer software that re?ceives brain signals and turns them into simple commands. "The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped into two categories,communication and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair."

  He says his team set two goals. One is testing with real patients,so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technolo?gy over long periods of time.

(   ) 5. BCI is a technology that can         .

   A. help to update computer systems   B. link the human brain with computer

   C. help the disabled to recover   D. control a person's thoughts

(   ) 6. How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?

   A. By controlling his muscles. B. By talking to the machine.

   C. By moving his hand. D. By using his mind.

(   ) 7. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 4?

   A. scalp—computer—cap—wheelchair   B. computer—cap—scalp—wheelchair

   C. scalp—cap—computer—wheelchair   D. cap—computer—scalp—wheelchair

(   ) 8. The team will test with real patients to         .

   A. make profits from them   B. prove the technology useful to them

   C. make them live longer   D. learn about their physical condition

(   ) 9. Which of the following would be the best title for the test?

   A. Switzerland,the BCI Research Center

   B. New Findings about How the Brain Works

   C. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled

   D. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries
