D(2024·江苏徐州三模)
Imagine taking a flying taxi to the airport, or jumping over crowded city streets at rush hour, getting where you want to go far faster than you could in a car. Believe it or not, you might be able to do these things in an air taxi sooner than you think.
An air taxi is something like a helicopter that can carry people from place to place. Air taxis don't need a long runway like planes do. They can go straight up and down.
In June, the government of America agreed to allow a company called Joby Aviation to start testing their new air taxis. This is the first time they've tested a taxi that's been built in a factory. Before that, all their taxis were made by hand.
By 2025, Joby hopes to start carrying passengers for money. They've teamed up with Delta Air Lines to create a programme to fly people from their homes to the airport. Joby's air taxis will be flown by a pilot, and can carry four other passengers. They can go around 100 miles before the electric batteries need to be recharged.
Compared with helicopters, Joby says their air taxis are both quieter and cheaper. The company expects to charge about $3 a mile at first. But over time, they hope to bring the price down to less than $1 a mile.
And as exciting as the idea of flying taxis is, some people have worries about them. Air taxis may be quieter than helicopters, but they'll still be adding noise and traffic to our sky. Some people worry that only rich people will be able to afford to use them.
It seems likely that air taxis will be part of the future of travel. But there's still a lot to do before air taxis become common.
( )1. How does the writer begin the passage?
A. By raising a question.
B. By imagining a scene.
C. By presenting an image.
D. By making a comparison.
()2. Which of the following is TRUE about Joby's new air taxis?

D. It can carry four people in all.
()3. What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?
A. The worries about new air taxis.
B. The noise created by new air taxis.
C. The traffic rules to be made soon.
D. The high price of taking new air taxis.
()4. What can be the best title for this passage?

解析
【分析】
这是一篇介绍新型空中飞行出租车的说明文阅读理解，我们可以按照不同题型的解题逻辑逐个突破：
1. 第1题是写作手法题，直接定位文章开头的引导词Imagine，就能直接判断作者开篇的引入方式；
2. 第2题是细节判断题，把每个选项逐一返回原文对应位置比对，排除偷换概念、表述错误的干扰项就能得到正确答案；
3. 第3题是段落大意题，直接找对应段落的首句主题句，就能快速锁定段落核心，排除只覆盖局部内容的片面选项；
4. 第4题是主旨大意题，通读全文明确核心介绍对象，排除范围过宽、以偏概全的错误标题选项，选出最贴合全文内容的答案。
【解析】
1. 定位原文首段开篇句"Imagine taking a flying taxi to the airport, or jumping over crowded city streets at rush hour, getting where you want to go far faster than you could in a car."，作者用Imagine引导读者想象乘坐飞行出租车出行的场景来展开全文，对应B选项。A（提出问题）、C（呈现图像）、D（作对比）均不符合开篇特征，因此选B。
2. 细节逐一比对：
A选项：原文第三段说明本次测试的是工厂量产的空中出租车，此前的样品才是手工制作，A表述错误；
B选项：原文第四段说明车辆满电后可续航约100英里，并非每小时飞行100英里，B表述错误；
C选项：原文第二段"An air taxi is something like a helicopter that can carry people from place to place"明确说明空中出租车外形类似直升机，表述正确；
D选项：原文第四段说明空中出租车由1名飞行员驾驶，还可额外搭载4名乘客，总载客数为5人，并非总共只能载4人，D表述错误。
因此本题选C。
3. 第六段首句"some people have worries about them"是段落主题句，后续内容分别列举了空中出租车带来的噪音、空中交通压力、定价过高普通人负担不起等顾虑，整段核心就是人们对新型空中出租车的担忧。B、D都只是担忧的其中一个局部细节，C内容原文完全未提及，因此选A。
4. 全文围绕新型飞行出租车的定义、测试进展、性能优势、现存争议展开，核心介绍对象就是新型飞行出租车。B选项“旅行的未来”范围过于宽泛，C选项“各类交通方式”完全不符合原文内容，D选项“研发空中出租车的公司”只是文中的部分补充信息，并非全文核心，因此最佳标题为A。
【答案】
1.B 2.C 3.A 4.A
【知识点】
阅读理解细节查找，阅读理解主旨判断，写作手法辨析
