Under the direction of the operator it climbed upward on an inclined course till a height of 8 or 10 feet from the ground was reached.3. Into the teeth of a December gale the “flyer” made its way forward with a speed of 10 miles an hour over the ground and 30 to 35 miles an hour through the air.4. The height chosen was sufficient for maneuvering in so gusty a wind and with no previous acquaintance with the conduct of the machine and its controlling mechanisms.5. In attempting to bring the machine down to the desired height, the operator turned the rudder too far, and the machine turned downward more quickly than had been expected.C1. Four flights were made on the morning of december 17,1903, two by Orville Wright and two by Wilbur Wright.2. The wind at the time of the flights had a velocity of 27 miles an hour at 10 a.m., and 24miles an hour at noon, as recorded by the anemometer at the Kitty Hawk Weather Bureau Station.3. Each time the machine started from the level ground by its own power alone with no assistance from gravity or any other source whatever.4. The machine ran about 40 feet along a monorail track before it rose from the track.5. These first trials should be made as close to the ground as possible for reasons of personal safety.6. The machine flew a little more than half a mile through the air in 59 seconds at the fourth trial.7. The early landing was due to a slight error of judgment on the part of the aviator.8. As winter was already well set in, it was not a favorable season for the trials. news1semifinal ,semifainl, ,semai-n. 半决赛 adj. 半决赛的tournament tunmnt, t:-, t:- n. 锦标赛，联赛；比赛undefeated ,ndifi:tid adj. 未被击败的outscore autsk: vt. 得分超过yugoslav ju:usl:v adj. 南斯拉夫的；南斯拉夫人的squad skwd n. 军班；小队；五人组（篮球队的非正式说法）oust aust vt. 驱逐；剥夺；取代quarterfinal ,kw:tfainl n. 四分之一决赛a winning streak 连胜upstart pst:t, pst:t n. 暴发户；自命不凡的人；傲慢自负的人the semifinal round of the world basketball championship tournament.1.86-77 2.Brazil 3.Argentina 4.Yugoslavia New Zealand5.
