　　A holiday jet pilot 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 that 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 neighbors' atmosphere,” wrote John Ferriday of Paramount Airways.

　　(a)Maureen said, “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 steward 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 cigarettes from the stewardess on the plane!”

　　(c)Mr Ferriday went on, “Believe me. You don't have the right especially when you travel on my planes.” Maureen and her husband Michael were moved to Paramount just before they left Portugal. But they were not told of the company's 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 Mosley, Birmingham, Maureen wrote to the company and received the rude reply.

Answer 1

答案：C;C;D;D
解析：

1．C　　c段的开头有“Mr Ferriday went on，”且在a、b、c、d四段中只有此段有Mr Ferriday讲的话，由此可断定c段是紧接着第三段的。c段最后说到没有人告诉Maureen和她丈夫不准抽烟的规定，a段开头Maureen说她的在登记时才知道，紧接着讲了经过，因此可断定a段接着c段。a段最后讲到飞行员来了，当然接下来应与他有关，所以应是d段与a段相接。 　　2．C　　由（a）中间“…but I said I waned… on the plane．”可知C项正确，同时又可排除A、B项。由最后一段可知D项错误。 　　3．D　　由第三段中“But his reply was even ruder．”及书信内容可知。 　　4．D　　从第三段的“His reply was even ruder。”和最后一段的“receive the rude reply”中的关键词“rude”，可知作者认为Maureen受到了无礼待遇。由此推知答案。
