解析:

1. C。/ 2. D。此句意为：在作者登机之前，他看到乘客们的行李首先被用运货车运出并运至飞机身边，在从飞机底部的货物进口处装进飞机(飞机行李、货物进口处常设在机身底部，而乘客入口处设在机身侧面)。

3. B。穿着制服的三男三女走到飞机旁边并进入(enter)飞机。

4. C。/ 5. A。乘客们听到候机室内的广播通知，飞机即将起程并要求乘客走出候机室。注意：be told意为“听到、被告知”；announce解释为“通知某人”时，常构成短语：announce sth to sb。

5. D。下文已有暗示：to get a seat near the tail。

6. C。乘客们快速登机的目的就是想能得到他想要的理想的座位，(一般来说，靠近飞机尾部的座位更安全)，而作者未能(unable)得到。

7. B。从文章开始It did not look too strong to me.可知，当作者登上飞机以后，他感觉到飞机内部看上去要比从外部看上去更坚固。

8. A。/9. B。10.B。该句意为：在飞机起飞之前，作者系好安全带，并尽力忘掉自己心中的紧张。

11. A。look“看”为不及物动词，不可直接跟宾语；watch“注视、观看”；realize“认识到、意识到”不符句意。

12. A。flash on “闪现”。

13. B。一个空中小姐作出了与广播中相同的要求“请系好你们的安全带”。

14. C。add在此意为“补充说”。

15. B。不定式短语to worry about“担心……”作定语，修饰不定代词nothing。

16. C。此处说明飞机在空中上下颠簸起来，与后面的dropped为并列谓语动词，故应选动词shake的过去式shook，而shock意为“震惊”，不符句意。

17. D。飞机靠两只机翼平衡机身，但由于飞机颠簸得太厉害，所以作者感觉到飞机好像仅靠一只机翼在平衡机身。

18. A。/ 19. D。动词短语give out在此意为“分发”。而give off“发出(光、热、气味等)”，give up“放弃、投降”，give back“归还”均不符句意。

20. D。不久天空变得晴朗起来，飞行员最终战胜了风暴(manage to do sth)。选项A应构成短语succeed in doing sth 选项B, C不符句意。
