For centuries men dreamed of achieving vertical flight. In 400 A. D. , Chinese children played with a fan—like toy that spun upwards and fell back to earth as rotation ceased. Leonardo da Vinci conceive the fast mechanical apparatus, called a "Helix", which could carry a man straight up, but this was only a design and was never tested.
The ancient dream was finally realized in 1940 when a Russian engineer piloted a strange looking craft of steel tubing with a rotating fan on top. It rose awkwardly and vertically into the air from a standing start, hovered a few feet above the ground, went sideways and backwards and then settled back to earth. That vehicle was called a helicopter.
Imaginations were fired. Men dreamed of going to work in their own personal helicopters. People anticipated that vertical fight transports would carry millions of passengers as do the airliners of today. Such fantastic expectations were not fulfilled.
The helicopter has now become an extremely useful machine It excels in military missions, carrying troops, guns and strategic instruments where other aircraft cannot go. Corporations use them as airborne offices, many metropolitan areas use them in police work, construction and logging companies employ them in various advantageous ways, engineers use them for site selection and surveying, and oil companies use them as the best way to make offshore and remote work stations accessible to crews and supplies. Any urgent mission to a hard-to-get-to place is a likely task for a helicopter. Among their other multitude of uses: deliver people across town, fly to and from airports, assist in rescue work,and aid in the search for missing or wanted persons.
选项
答案
conceive
解析
分枥句子结构可知,句子缺少谓语动词,根据主语Leonardo da Vinci(达·芬奇)和上下文时态可知,所填词应为动词的一般过去时。根据空格后的thefirst推断,此处很可能是要表示达·芬奇“设计出”第一个这样的机械装置。conceive,动词原形,意为“设想”。
