【解析】试题分析：本文主要讲述了一个幽默故事，乘飞机时喜爱窗子旁边，但是临窗的座位上有一个警告，上面写着：此座留着是为了保持飞机平衡， 只好作罢。又有几个乘客看到空座走了过去，但看到纸条后都离开了。这时，上来一个年轻漂亮的女士，旁边的年轻人就把纸条拿掉了。阅读时注意体会文章的幽默感。

【1】句意：鲁滨孙先生不得不出差去某地，由于时间仓促，他决定乘飞机去。A. air空气，意指plane；B. water 水；C. train火车；D. bus公共汽车。因为下文叙述的是飞机上发生的事情。by air=by plane。

【2】句意：喜欢坐在窗子“旁边”。 A. on在……上； B. nearly在……附近；C. beside在……旁边；D. far from远离。由句意可知C正确。

【3】句意：他发现除了一个座位以外，都坐满了人。A. wanted 想；B. found 发现；C. thought认为；D. hoped希望。表示结果，与上句的look for（表动作）相呼应。故选B。

【4】从句子结构看，此空该填非谓语动词形式。seat是及物动词，意思是“使某人就坐”，它与a young man是动宾关系，所以用seated，表示状态；而sit是不及物动词，它与a young man是主谓关系，要用sitting，表示动作。故选A。

【5】句意：但当他到达那里时，他看到上面有一张布告。不能选A，因为arrive为不及物动词；由下文可知，他根本没坐下来，所以也不能选B；若选D，则与上句的he went towards it相矛盾。故选C。

【6】句意：用大写字体写的。in large letters是固定说法，意为“用大写字母”。故选D。

【7】句意：写到：“这个座位是用来保持平衡的。谢谢你。”这里该用现在分词表示伴随动作。say强调“说”的内容，而speak则指“说”的动作，故不选D。选B。

【8】句意：但他认为飞机一定是在房间里装了特别重的东西，这使乘客必须适当地平衡。which引导定语从句，指代先行词something particularly heavy。故选D。

【9】句意：于是他继续往前走，发现另一个空座位。another表泛指“另一个”。故选A。

【10】句意：不在窗边坐。此处不定式to sit用作定语，应与被修饰的名词seat构成动宾关系，而sit却是不及物动词，必须加上介词on。故选C。

【11】句意：两个或三个其他的人试图坐在年轻人旁边的靠窗座位上。try只表示设法去做某事，而不表示是否做成；manage却表示设法做成了某事。由本句末的but they also read the notice and went on得知，不选C。故选B。

【12】句意：然而，当飞机几乎满了的时候，一个非常漂亮的女孩走了进来。A. empty空的； B. full满的； C. up向上； D. down向下。随着情节的发展，飞机上的人越来越多，快要“满了”，所以用full。故选B。

【13】句意：当飞机快满时，一个非常漂亮的女孩走进了飞机。A. reached 到达；B. stepped举步，行走，跨步；C. entered参加;进去;进入；D. left离开。enter作“进入”讲时，一般不与into连用，故不选C。故选B。

【14】句意：那个年轻人看着乘客们走进来，很快地把通知从他旁边的座位上拿了下来。A. quickly快的；B. fast 快的；C. slowly 慢的；D. soon不久。quickly表示“立刻行动，毫不迟延”用于此处符合the man 的心境，也大大地增强了文章的幽默感。故选A。

【15】句意：那个年轻人看着乘客们走进来，很快地把通知从他旁边的座位上拿了下来。take ---off---是固定搭配，意为“把……从……取下”。故选C。
