解析

试题分析:本文实际上是一则广告,介绍了OU Support Open Learning以吸引学生到这样的学校里学习。
小题1:D 主旨大意题。本文实际上是一则广告,介绍了OU Support Open Learning以吸引学生到这样的学校里学习,故D正确。
小题2:C 细节题。根据第三段最后2行All that is required is a willingness to learn. The OU is great value for money and you can pay monthly.说明只要你想学习就可以了,故C正确。
小题3:C 细节题。根据文章We’ll give you the support of a personal teacher, and the chance to meet your fellow students. ☆ 25% of all British MBAs come from the OU.☆ There are 9-month courses and diplomas as well as degrees.说明ABD三项内容都是文章中涉及到的。只有C项没有提及。
点评:广告英语与普通英语存在许多差异,而又与人们日常生活密切相关,应用性很强。所以广告类阅读题可以很好地考查学生提取信息、处理信息的能力,也是历年来高考考查的一个热点。广告英语文句精练,信息量大,表达方式千变万化,做这种题目先略读题目,再浏览题干,然后带着问题找答案。在阅读时又要特别注意文中以黑体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字,因为这很有可能是文章的核心或至少是一部分内容的概括。

Terrafugia Company has said that its flying car, named Transition, has successfully finished a 37- second test flight
On March 5, 2009, at Plattsburgh International Airport in New York. It was piloted by Phil Meteer, the company"s chief pilot.
Transition is a two-seat airplane that can take off and land at airports as well as drive on roads.  
The company said that the flying car can travel at speeds up to 115 mph for 450 miles in the air, drive at highway speeds on the ground, and fold up(折叠) to fit in a garage (车库) 81 inches wide, and 80 inches high.
This could be used in hospitals to transport patients so as to avoid road traffic. It may start running on wheels, and when it gets to traffic lights it can fly overhead the lights and keeps its way forward. So it’s good news to avoid traffic  problem and the traffic accidents.  
But some people say this is a going airplane rather than a flying car, at least on the appearance. Anyway, we are happy for scientific-technical progress, what a fantastical world in the near future!
