Miss Elliott,30,became interested in flying when (28)inspd(inspire) by her father with a trial flight as her birthday present.Miss Elliott said:"Becoming a pilot was never something I had considered.It was only when my Dad bought me a trial flight for my 18th birthday (29)that I considered following in my Dad's footsteps."
The pair finally sat in the cockpit (驾驶员座舱) together and Mr Elliott made an announcement to passengers (30)that the flight made it a special day for him as he was flying with his daughter.

"Somehow it seems (36)to have restarted(restart) itself again before it made its way along the work surface.Then it pushed a cooking pot out of the way and basically that was the end of it,"explained fireman Helmut Kniewasser,who (37)was called/had been called(call) to deal with the fire at Hinterstoder in Kirchdorf."It pretty quickly started to melt underneath and then stuck to the kitchen hotplate.It then caught fire.(38)By the time we arrived,it had become just a pile of ash."He added:"The entire building (39)Itbe evacuated (疏散) and there was severe smoke damage particularly in the flat in which the robot had been in use."It's a mystery how it came to be started and ended up making its way to the hotplate."(40)had to took an hour to clean and make the building safe.The homeowner plans to charge the robot's manufacturer.

解答 25.as 考查介词.as+表示职业的名词,表示从事某一职业.故填as.
26.has been flying/has flown 考查时态.此处是指她已经开了六年飞机了,过去的动作持续到现在,所以用现在完成时或现在完成进行时.故填has been flying/has flown.

28.inspired 考查非谓语动词.此处是"连词+分词"结构,句子主语Miss Elliott和inspire是被动关系,用过去分词,故填inspired.
29.that 考查强调句型.强调句型为:it is/was+强调部分+that+其它成份.故填that.
