Question

【题目】阅读理解。

阅读短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Last year, I was on a plane with my friend, waiting for it to take off. The pilot’s voice was heard throughout the plane, “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. Our engines don’t work. We are going to jump-start them. Once we get them going, we’ll get up in the air and see what happens.”

That was all he said. “See what happens? Shouldn’t we have had a better plan than that?” At that point, I could only laugh nervously. One woman started crying, “Oh, no! We are going to crash!” There were sighs of anxiety, and we hadn’t even taken off yet.

The pilot even seemed unhappy. He told us one engine was working double time, and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air, and what happened? Nothing. We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief.

All too often, people stop achieving their goals just because they don’t have a guaranteed (有保证的) result. But success will never be guaranteed. The best thing that you can do is to just get up in the air, and see what happens.

If your aim is to build a business, then get up in the air and see what happens! Don’t give yourself all the reasons why you can’t. Do not wait until you have everything you need. You never will.

If your goal is to start a friendship, say “Hello”, get up in the air and see what happens! The results could be very rewarding. If your goal is to learn a new skill, get up in the air and see what happens! It might not be as difficult as you think. It could be fun!

【2】D

【3】C

【4】A

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。作者借自己的乘坐飞机的一次经历告诉我们，在人生当中，成功从来不是十拿九稳的。你能做的最好的事就是飞上半空，然后随机应变。

【1】B 推理判断题。根据第二段第三句可知，当飞行员说发动机不能工作时作者感到紧张。disappointed失望的；anxious焦急的；curious好奇的；funny可笑的。故选B。

【2】D 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句可知，实际上什么事情也没有发生，飞机成功地降落在地。故D项正确。

【3】C 句意理解题。根据横线前后句可知当我们设立目标的时候，即使我们不知道最后的结果如何，我们也要努力去实现所设立的目标。这也是文中划线句子隐藏的含义，故选C。

【4】A 主旨大意题。作者在一次和朋友坐飞机时，飞行员告诉他们飞机发动机不能工作了，启动后先飞到空中然后再随机应变。乘客很恐慌，结果飞机安全着陆的故事。作者借这个故事启示我们，在人生当中，成功从来不是十拿九稳的。你能做的最好的事就是飞上半空，然后随机应变。故A项We Will See What Happens（我们要随机应变）符合文意。
