    E Paul Larsen’s Vestas Sailrocket 2 is half boat, half plane, and hopefully it will soon be the fastest sailing boat on water too. “Everything above the water is an aeroplane and everything below the water behaves just like a boat, says Larsen, a professional sailor who’s now turned his attention to breaking the speed sailing record, describing it as his lifetime mission . “A large part of this boat is flying, says Larsen. “When it’s going at high speed, it’s like a well-built paper airplane. The record is open to any craft , as long as it’s using wind and water, and there is at least one person on board. At present, it is held by American kite surfer Rob Douglas, who reached 55.65 knots (about 103 kilometres per hour) over the required 500 meter course in 2010. The craft may be using the latest technology, but its concept is based on a craft that was written about nearly five decades ago. American rocket scientist Bernard Smith wrote about a sailboat in 1963 that he believed could reach 40 knots - a concept that was well ahead of his time. Larsen’s team tracked down Smith in 2007 to tell the then 97-year-old that they had broken the 40 knots, using the ideas Smith came up with 44 years earlier. Based on that design, they have since been able to go 50 knots and are pushing to go even faster. “It is dangerous, Larsen admits. “You go out there and you don’t realize the consequences if the smallest thing goes wrong. The worst crashes are the ones when the boat dives directly into the water. “That’s a killer. At least in the air you slow down. Although there is some danger, Larsen and his team won’t stop until they hit the 60 knot mark and take with it the world speed sailing record. 51. Larsen hopes to realize his dream to . A. set a new world speed sailing record B. design a craft which can fly and sail C. win a gold medal in the Olympic Games D. put his Vestas Sailrocket 2 into market 52. To challenge the record, a competitor must . A. make a boat of special paper B. sail the boat designed by himself C. go through half a kilometer course D. make use of the latest technology 53. What can we infer from the text about Bernard Smith? A. He was a professional sailor himself. B. He instructed Larsen’s work now and then. C. He designed the boat particularly for Larsen. D. He got to know his concept proved to be a success. 54. The most dangerous moment comes when Larsen’s boat . A. reaches the highest speed B. gets into water from the air C. starts to fly into the air D. slows down in the air 55. What would be the best title for the text? A. The world speed sailing competition B. A flying boat is coming into our life C. Rocket scientist Bernard Smith’s dream D. Newly-designed boat challenges the record 【查看更多】

          Paul Zindel’s death on March 27,2003 ended the brilliant life of a famous writer. Not only did Paul Zindel win a Pulitzer Prize as well as an Obie Prize for his 1970 play The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds, but be was one of the earliest writers in the field of contemporary（当代的） literature for young adults（成人）.
