第三部分 话题能力提升——读写综合
一、阅读导入
That future is almost here. “I think it's going to happen in ten years…and hopefully much faster,” said Sebastian Thrun in 2021. At that time, his young company was working on developing a flying car known as eVTOL.
Flying to work or school sounds unbelievable. Not only is it fun to fly, but “there would never be traffic again, because the sky is very large,” says Thrun. He also thinks eVTOLs could be greener than common cars.
So far, though, flying cars haven't taken off as a product. Will their day come There are still many problems to solve. Their high price means most people won't be able to afford one. So, some companies are developing them as air taxis that people could pay to ride. The main problem with flying cars is safety. Accidents in the air are dangerous to both the passengers and anyone on the ground beneath(在下方). To make eVTOLs safer, many developers are trying to make them self-flying.
Another problem is space. Most aircraft need long runways to take off and land. Lifting straight up and down like a helicopter solves this problem. But eVTOLs still need special spaces for taking-off and landing. Finding places to put these could be difficult, especially in crowded cities. But maybe some could go on top of buildings.
What do you think Would you enjoy riding to school or to visit a friend in a self-flying taxi Are flying cars a good idea, or should we find other ways to get around in the near future
