The shocking disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 has captured the attention of millions around the world as the search for the airplane and its passengers and crew continues. What happened to the flight’s 239 passengers and crew after the plane left Kuala Lumpur on Saturday? It is becoming an increasingly desperate question as the days pass.

But it’s hardly the first mystery of its kind. Here are some half-solved and unsolved airline mysteries that kept investigators clueless for years.

Air France Flight 447: An Airbus A330 flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris plunged into the Atlantic Ocean in 2009, killing all 228 passengers and crew on board. But it took a full five days for search and rescue teams to find the wreck（残骸）and another three years for investigators to report that ice crystals had caused the autopilot (自动驾驶仪) to disconnect. The bodies of 74 passengers remain unrecovered.

Amelia Earhart: Ace (王牌) pilot Amelia Earhart disappeared in her twin-engine monoplane Electra over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 in an attempt to circumnavigate the globe. No trace of her plane was ever found even after a multi-million dollar search effort, and Earhart was officially declared dead in 1939.

Flying Tiger Line Flight 739: A U.S. military flight left Guam in 1962 with more 90 personnel headed for the Philippines, but it never arrived. The pilots never issued a distress call, and 1,300 people involved in the U.S. military search never found any trace of wreckage.

British South American Airways: It took more than 50 years to find any trace of the 11 people aboard a 1947 flight that disappeared in the Andes Mountains. A pair of Argentineans rock climbers discovered engine wreckage in the Andes in 1998, and an army expedition later found human remains as well.

Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571: A flight headed to Santiago, Chile carrying 45 passengers and crew crashed into the Andes Mountains in poor weather in 1972, killing twelve people. In the meantime, eight were killed in an avalanche (雪崩) that hit the plane’s wreckage where they were taking shelter, and the rest stayed alive by eating the flesh of the dead before they were finally found more than two months after disappearing out of the sky.

1.The underlined word “plunged” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____.

A. jumped         B. broke

C. flew            D. dived

2.What can we learn from Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571? _____.

A. 12 people were lost until now.

B. 25 people were rescued instantly.

C. The rest who stayed alive killed 8 people.

D. 8 were killed by a fall of a large mass of snow down a mountainside.

3.From the passage, what could have led to British South American Airways crash? _____.

A. The bad weather.         B. Not mentioned.

C. The ice crystals.         D. The lightening.

4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? _____.

A. Earhart was declared dead by the authorities two years later.

B. The bodies of Flight 447 had all been found after three years.

C. Two Argentineans rock climbers discovered the dead in the Andes.

(Reuters) - The search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 is likely to drag on for years, a senior U.S. defense　 official told Reuters on Friday, as an underwater search for any trace of the plane off west Australia appeared to have failed.

The official, speaking under condition of anonymity（匿名）because he was not authorized to comment on the search effort, said two weeks of searching the Indian Ocean floor with a U.S. Navy had turned up no wreckage（残骸）．

He said the search for the plane, which disappeared on March 8 with 239 people on board, would now enter a much harder phase of searching broader areas of the ocean near where the plane is believed to have crashed.

”We went all-in on this small area and didn't find anything.　 Now you’re got to go back to the big area," the official said.　 "And now you're talking years.”

On Friday, the undersea drone. Bluefin-21 is expected to finish what may be the last of its 16-hour trips to depths of　 more than 4.5 km (2. 8 miles) searching a 10 square km (6.2 square mile) area of the seabed about 2,000 miles northwest of Perth.

Authorities had identified the area as their strongest lead in determining the plane's final resting place after detecting what they suspected was a signal from the plane's black box recorder on April 4.

But the U. S.　 official said Malaysia would have to decide how to continue the search, including whether to bring in more underwater drones,　 even with the understanding that the search could continue for years without a refined (精确的) search area.

1.What does the passage mainly talk about?　 ( no more than, 12 words)

2.Where did the recent search for the plane take place? ( no more than, 3 words)

3.Why didn't the official want others to know his name? ( no more than 11 words)

4.What led people to determine the plane's final resting place? ( no more than 9 words)

5.According to the passage, which country is in charge of the arrangement of the search? (1 word)

Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle-named the Transition – has two seats， four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.

Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000.And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.

Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The govemment has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.

Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation　 Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those pilots of larger planes Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find redatively easy to meet.

1.What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A. The basic data of the Transition.　　　 B. The advantages of flying cars.

C. The potential market for flying cars.　 C. The designers of the Transition.

2.Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?

A. It causes traffic jams.　　　　　　　　 B. It is difficult to operate.

C. It is very expensive.　　　　　　　　　　 D. It bums too much fuel.

3.What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car?

A. Cautious　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. Favorable.

C. Ambiguous.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. Disapproving.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. Flying Car at Auto Show　　　　　　 B. The Transition’s Fist Flight

C.Pilots’Dream Coming True　　　　　　 D. Flying Car Closer to Reality
