Question

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A HOLIDAY jet pilot (飞行员) said that he would land and call the police after a woman refused to stop smoking.

He warned Maureen Harkavy, “Put that cigarette out, or I’ll land the plane and have you arrested.”

Maureen, 47, was so shocked she wrote to the airline’s chairman. But his reply was even ruder.

“You seem to think you have a God-given right to pollute your neighbours’ atmosphere,” wrote John Ferriday of Paramount Airways.

(a)Said Maureen, “I only found out about it when I was checking in. I’m a nervous flyer so I lit a cigarette during the flight. A stewardess (空姐) asked me to put it out, but I said I wanted to carry on as there was no rule against smoking on the plane.” She was just finishing her cigarette when the pilot arrived.

(b) I’ve never seen such an unpleasant letter. She said, “I don’t think I’ll ever fly again.” But there was a funny side. Maureen explained, “We were offered duty-free (免税) cigarette from the stewardess on the plane!”

(c) Mr. Ferriday went on; “Believe me, you haven’t. Especially when you travel on my planes.”

Maureen and her husband Michael were moved to Paramount flight just before they left Portugal. But they were not told of the company’ s (公司的) no smoking policy.

(d) “He was loud and rude,” said Maureen. “He said if I lit another cigarette he would land the plane at Bordeaux and hand me to the French police.”

Later, from her home in Mosely, Birmingham, Maureen wrote to the company and received the rude reply.

【3】D

【解析】

试题分析：本文属于记叙文，介绍了一位乘客因为在飞机上抽烟，飞行员要求她不要抽烟，但她并没有按照飞行员的要求去做。

【1】C 细节排序题。根据第四段“You seem to think you have a God-given right to pollute your neighbours’ atmosphere,”可知John Ferriday在批评对方污染空气；c段是John Ferriday继续批评对方的话；接下来a段中Maureen对自己的行为进行辩护；d段是Maureen对John Ferriday的投诉；最后是b段Maureen explained继续为自己抽烟的行为进行解释。故C项顺序正确。

【2】C 推理判断题。根据文章第一段A HOLIDAY jet pilot (飞行员) said that he would land and call the police after a woman refused to stop smoking.可知Maureen Harkavy拒绝飞行员让他不要抽烟的要求，并写信进行投诉。故C项正确。

【3】D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Later, from her home in Mosely, Birmingham, Maureen wrote to the company and received the rude reply.作者认为航空公司给的回复是很粗鲁的。说明作者并不认同该公司的做法，也就是说他支持乘客Maureen Harkavy。故D项正确。
