题目内容
19.On July2,1937,Amelia Earhart( an American pilot) and Fred Noonan left New Guinea for Howland Island in the Pacific.This was the longest and most dangerous part of their t(81)ravel/tour/trip around the world.Earhart had trouble soon after the plane took off.The weather was very bad,so she had to f(82)ly at 3,000metres.Going this high,the plane used fuel quickly.After about 20h(83)ours,Earhart and Noonan got close to Howland Island.The island was o(84)nlyabout 65miles (英里) away,but the bright sun was shining in their faces so they couldn't see it.Near Howland,a ship was w(85)aiting for the plane.Earhart contacted the ship:"We don't have enough fuel,"she said.The ship tried to stay in touch with her b(86)ut got no answer.Finally,the ship called for help.People looked for Earhart and Noonan for days.However,they found nothing.
What happened to Amelia Earhart?No one knows for sure.D(87)uring the flight,she probably moved in the wrong direction(方向) because the sun was bright and it was d(88)ifficult to see.So she got lost; soon after,her plane ran out of fuel,and she died at sea.Another idea is that she survived(幸存) the plane crash(飞机失事),s(89)wam to a lonely island,and later died there.Still other think she survived the crash and secretly returned to the U.S.with a new identity(身份).
Till now,none of these i(90)deas has been proved.People are still wondering about them.(Noonan's body has never been found either.) No matter what happened,Earhart probably died as she wished."When I go,"she said,"I'd like best to go in my plane."
分析 主旨大意:本文叙述了Amelia Earhart和 Fred Noonan这两名飞行员前往 Howland岛进行了一次旅行.天气恶劣,所以他们不得不飞在3000米的高空,因此燃料用的很快.大约20个小时后,Earhart 和Noonan接近了Howland岛.但是,一艘船正等在海上,想和Earhart取得联系,但是没有得到回复.人们在海上搜寻,没有找到.关于Earhart发生了什么事,有很多说法,但是没有一个得到证实.
解答 81.句意:这是他们环游世界的最长最危险的旅途的一部分.根据 Amelia Earhart( an American pilot) and Fred Noonan left New Guinea for Howland Island in the Pacific.可知这两名飞行员离开New Guinea前往 Howland,这是一次旅行或旅途.故此处为:travel/tour/trip
82.句意:天气恶劣,所以他们不得不飞在3000米的高空.根据Earhart had trouble soon after the plane took off.可知飞机起飞了,故此处他们是飞在空中,故用动词:fly
83.句意:大约20个小时后,Earhart 和Noonan接近了Howland岛.根据 Earhart and Noonan got close to Howland Island.可知他们接近目的地 Howland Island,因此此次旅途用去大约20个小时,故此处用名词复数:hours
84.句意:这个小岛只有65英里远.根据about 65 miles (英里) away,可知他们里这个小岛有65英里,此处强调距离近了,故用副词:only
85.句意:在靠近Howland岛的地方,一艘船正在等着这架飞机.根据The ship tried to stay in touch with her可知这艘船想和她保持联系,故推断正在等着她,根据was,故此处用现在分词:waiting
86.句意:这艘船想努力和她取得联系,但是没有得到回复.根据got no answer可知这艘船想和她取得联系,得不到回复,故此处表示转折关系,故用连词:but
87.句意:在飞行期间,她可能飞错了方向.结合句意,这架飞机还没有着陆,故此处是在飞行期间,故用介词:During
88.句意:因为阳光太亮了,很难看到东西.根据because the sun was bright可知阳光太亮了,她很难看清东西,故此处为形容词:difficult
89.句意:另一种说法是她在飞机失事中幸存下来,游到了一个孤岛上,然后死在那里.因为她是驾驶飞机在一个小岛上面,飞机坠毁,她可能调入大海里,可知她会游到一个孤岛上.用一般过去时.故用动词:swam
90.句意:直到现在,这些说法,没有一个得到证实.文中对于Earhart 的生死有很多说法,故此处用名词复数形式:ideas
