Section 3 Listening and translating Directions: In this section y
16、ou are going to hear five short passages. You will hear them ONLY ONCE. 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 will be a pause lasting one and a half minutes. The pause is int
17、ended for you to do the translation. 1) The ARJ21-700 jetliner, China?s 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 aroused great interest from aviation companies at home and abroa

Michael Huerta of the Federal Aviation Administration said emphasis would be put on electrical systems and how these and the plane?s sophisticated mechanical systems in
21、teract._ _ _. 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 makes this form of landing gear most
22、 attractive is its simplicity. Another potential advantage results from the fact that _ _ _ Part II Reading Comprehension Section 1 Skimming and Scanning (10%) Directions: In this section there are 10 incomplete statements. Based on the following passage, please complete the statements with the info
23、rmation 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 companies now add a fuel surch
24、arge 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 aviation fuels. Seeking alterna
25、tive fuel could become paramount for the airline industry should the peak-oil phenomenon actually occur. Breakthroughs and Research It may become possible for super-cooled liquid hydrogen to eventually be used as an alternative fuel for some types of commercial airline service. Other alternative fue
26、ls 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 energy-storage technology. Advances i
27、n nanotechnology could enable superconductive materials to eventually be manufactured at a cost that could justify their application in airliner propulsion. 4 Electrical Storage and Propulsion Energy stored in a superconductive storage technology could power electric motors that drive the identical
28、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
