Reading Comprehension (2’×10) Directions: There are several passages followed by twenty questions or unfinished statement, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answers on your answer sheet. TEXT A While aircraft have evolved from primitive biplanes to modern jets, runways have changed little since the Wright brothers took flight. Now, finally, a licensed pilot named Jim L. Starry has reinvented the runway. His airport design, called Starport, could reduce energy use, air pollution, and noise. Starry’s simple design takes advantage of gravity: From the top of a 20-story terminal, planes roll down a slopping runway to gather speed for takeoff. On landing, they slow down by rolling uphill to the terminal. In Starport, the runways are slightly concave, to help planes stay centered, and are wide where the planes touch down, but narrow as they approach the rooftop gates. Passengers reach the gates by taking elevators from parking areas, shops, and restaurants in the terminal’s lower levels. Because the Starport runways would not be steep enough to bring planes to a complete stop, Starry has designed 800-pound brake-accelerator wheels that would not only slow planes on landing, but would also generate electricity as the wheels spin. The stored electricity could be used for sliding. “From the moment you touch down, you could turn off the turbine,” says Starry. A 747 landing on a flat runway currently burns about 48 gallons of fuel when
