In each of these passages some of the sentences are already printed. You are required to translate the missing parts into Chinese. After each of the passages there w

16、ill be a pause lasting one and a half minutes. The pause is intended for you to do the translation. 1） The ARJ21-700 jetliner, Chinas first self-designed aircraft, will undertake its maiden flight before the end of the year. COMAC chairman, Zhang Qingwei says this first homegrown regional jet has ar

17、oused great interest from aviation companies at home and abroad.” I just came back from the United States and Canada. _.”2） Nine top tier US manufacturing companies won competitive contracts to build and supply the aviation system for Chinas new aircraft program, the C919. Airport infrastructure nee

18、ds are filling opportunities in the US companies as well. _3） The Deputy Chief of the Chinas Civic Aviation Administration, Xia Xinghua, says more cooperation is crucial for the Chinese side. “Firstly, we need to strengthen our cooperation on sustainable security development, expanding the relations

19、hip in a pragmatic way._”4） The Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said that the review would be comprehensive covering design, manufacturing and assembly of the Dreamliner. Michael Huerta of the Federal Aviation Administration said emphasis would be put on electrical systems and how these and the

20、planes sophisticated mechanical systems interact._.5） Though the tricycle arrangement may be most popular today, that was not always the case. The tail wheel undercarriage dominated aircraft design for the first four decades of flight and is still widely used on many small piston-engine planes. What

21、 makes this form of landing gear most attractive is its simplicity. Another potential advantage results from the fact that _Part II Reading Comprehension（30%）Section 1 Skimming and Scanning （10%） In this section there are 10 incomplete statements. Based on the following passage, please complete the

22、statements with the information given in the passage. Commercial aviation is an essential component of the global economy. The cost of aviation fuel is directly determined by the prevailing world price of oil, and it accounts for a major proportion of airplane operating costs. Several airline compan

23、ies now add a fuel surcharge to the ticket cost of a commercial flight to compensate for the recent rapid rise in fuel costs. World oil prices are expected to remain high for several years. The prospect of sustained high aviation fuel prices could propel airline companies to seek alternative aviatio

24、n fuels. Seeking alternative fuel could become paramount（最高的） for the airline industry should the peak-oil phenomenon actually occur. Breakthroughs and Research It may become possible for super-cooled liquid hydrogen（氢） to eventually be used as an alternative fuel for some types of commercial airlin

25、e service. Other alternative fuels may include high-density energy-storage technologies that result from breakthroughs in research in the areas of nanotechnology（纳米技术） and in high-temperature superconductivity（超导性）. High-temperature superconductivity holds great promise for use in high-density energ

26、y-storage technology. Advances in nanotechnology could enable superconductive materials to eventually be manufactured at a cost that could justify their application in airliner propulsion. Electrical Storage and PropulsionEnergy stored in a superconductive storage technology could power electric mot

27、ors that drive the identical propulsion fans that are found at the front-end of modern, “high-bypass” turbo-fan aircraft engines. Such fans provide up to 90% of the propulsive thrust of the turbo-fan engine. Each electrically powered propulsion fan may be driven by multiple （induction） lightweight electric motors during take-off. Some electric motors would “cut-out” under reduced power demand at cruising altitude so that the remaining motors will operate at higher eff
