1.答案:B
解析:根据 “High desert winds…to close all but one runway”可知因沙尘暴关闭所有的跑道,只留一条,故应为延时降落。
2.答案:A
解析:因为沙尘暴迫使机场关闭跑道。 B为“警告”;C意为“打扫,席卷”;D意为“提醒”,均不符合题意
3.答案:C
解析:飞机在等待降落的过程中应该是绕城市盘旋。故应选C。 A. watch用于着动态的场面; B. visit意为“参观,拜访”; D. cross意为“横穿”
4.答案:D
解析:根据上下文句意可知,飞机要绕城市盘旋几分钟以便等待着陆
5.答案:C
解析:句意为;“我们被告知仍在座位上坐好,系好安全带,因为飞机可能有颠簸。”此处应为because引导的原因状语从句
6.答案:B
解析:make…pale by comparison “使……相形见绌”,此处用以强调飞机在空中极不稳定
7.答案:A
解析:句意为:“象过山车一样的巨烈运动使旅客恶心而不得不用呕吐袋。A. sick 意为“恶心的”;B. nervous意为“紧张的”; C. angry 意为“生气的”;D. afraid意为“害怕的”。
8.答案B解析:此空前的that指的是using airsickness bags,也就是发生在飞机上狭小空间中的呕吐,因此选用narrow“狭窄的”,后面的space指的是飞机内部空间。empty 意为“空的”,secret意为“秘密的”,均不合题意。
9.答案A解析:在这种情形下本来就很难受,在飞机上呕吐使得这种难受更加强烈,此处serve意为“起……作用,用作……”。
10.答案:A
解析:根据后面的 a sense of anxiety and fear可知,人们都很紧张、焦虑,在这种情形下飞机上的人一定是静悄悄的。
11.答案:D
解析:飞机上的焦躁不安,应该是能够很明显的被感觉到,故选clearly
12.答案:B
解析:从后文中的 “he didn’t know he was supposed to be afraid and worried…Those are what we grown—ups have learned …”他不知道害怕和着急……,那是我们成年人……,可推测出应该是孩子
13.答案:D
解析:应是飞机的每一次颠簸让孩子体验坐过山车一样的感受,孩子发出咯咯的笑声
14.答案:A
解析:句意为我意识到孩子不知道他应该害怕和担心
15.答案:B
解析:应是为他的安全担心
16.答案:C
解析:成人都是从孩子时代过来的。是成人的亲身经历让他们知道孩子不知道什么是害怕和担心
17.答案:D
解析:因为孩子不知道害怕,自然是在飞机的颠簸中享受坐过山车般的快乐
18.答案:A
解析:sat back into my seat意为坐回到座位上
19.答案:C
解析:句意应为:“我坐回到我的座位上,假装真地坐上了过山车。”A项意为“几乎”;B项意为“最后”,D项意为“突然”,均不合题意。
20.答案B解析:我甚至咯咯地笑了一两次。作者应该是真的笑出了声,才让邻座的手拿呕吐袋的人懊恼。做成了某事用managed to do.
语篇解读:本文记述了作者一次因开会去拉斯维加斯时,飞机因沙尘暴而延时降落,在不断延长的等待中,成人焦急、害怕,唯独不知恐惧的婴儿在享受着过山车一样的颠簸。作者也深受启发,体验了一次孩子的享受。

阅读下面短文,从短文后所给各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能填入相应空白处的最佳选项。
It was 4 o’clock in the morning, when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 1 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We’ve called for a (n) 2 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.”
Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 3 .
The doctor described the accident, which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers. When they 4 the charcoal (木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed (喷洒) too much gasoline (petrol). The flames 5 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to his head.
6 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 7 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars (伤疤). So, he had to return to college with scars.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 8 scar on her arm. “Ann, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It doesn’t mean they won’t 9 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 10 this wisdom (智慧) on to my son. He took my advice to 11 and returned to school with his head held high — glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter, so he made the 12 to give up any plastic surgery (外科手术).
We all have “scars” that 13 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 14 standards(标准). Put your imperfections out of your 15 and concentrate (集中) on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
