參考答案及詳解
1. B) 根據(jù)語義線索可知，故事發(fā)生在飛機上，人們坐飛 機的時候都要系安全帶。“系安全帶”用動詞fasten seat belts。故選項B為正確答案。
2. C) 根據(jù)上句，飛機在飛行過程中，突然出現(xiàn)了異常的晃動，根據(jù)非語 言線索即常識可知這 時一般空中小姐要出來解釋一下或察看有沒有受傷的乘客，另外根據(jù)詞匯線索即下文出現(xiàn)的 she可指，選項C為正確答案。Steward指男性的乘務(wù)員，pilot意為“飛機駕駛員”，crew為 “機組”都不合適。
3. B) 根據(jù)上下文可判斷此句句義：空姐迅速但是小聲地告訴大家飛機駕 駛員昏了過去。四 個選項中announce, report是不及物動詞，不符;inform是及物動詞，意為“通知”，一般 可用在短語inform sb. of sth.或inform sb. that...中，例如：Have you informed the m of your intended departure?你已經(jīng)通知他們你要離開嗎?We were informed that two prisoners had escaped from the prison.我們獲知兩名犯人從監(jiān)獄中逃了出來。
4. B) 根據(jù)語義線索和語法線索可確定if為正確答案，句義為：…問是否 有人知道一些機械原理或至少怎樣開車。
5. A) 根據(jù)語義線索可知此空應(yīng)使用介詞after，意為：在一陣猶豫之后。
6. A) 根據(jù)上文可知飛行員已經(jīng)昏了過去，所以只有把他移到move一邊去 ，故選項A為正確答案。
7. D) 根據(jù)句義：這個人把飛行員移到一邊后，坐在了飛行員的位置上， 從而可以確定選項D為正確答案。其他三項意義或用法不符。
8. C) 根據(jù)語義線索可知此時飛機飛行在機場上空，另外根據(jù)語法線索此 空需要一個可以放在名詞后面修飾的副詞，故只有below正確。
9. B) 根據(jù)上下文由于開飛機的人并不是飛機駕駛員，他只能靠地面機場 傳送來的指令操作 飛機，由此可以判斷飛機非常貼近地面，也非常危險。故此處使用介詞close to。
10. A) 根據(jù)語義線索和詞匯線索可知選項A為正確答案。to one’s relief是固定搭配，意為“令人欣慰的”。
11. B) 根據(jù)句義和語法線索可知選項B had to為正確答案。
12. D) 根據(jù)語義線索可以判斷飛機在著陸的時候由于駕駛員不專業(yè)，引起 了 激烈的搖晃，故選項D為正確答案。Falteringly意為“支吾地，口吃地”，與題意不符。
13. D) 根據(jù)文章可知飛機在經(jīng)過很長的滑行后才停下，故選項D為正確答 案。另外其他三項的詞義在此處不符。
14. D) 根據(jù)上下文可推測當(dāng)飛機著陸的時候，許多乘客的家人或有關(guān)人員 非常焦急地在飛 機外邊等候，故outside為正確答案。Outdoors意為“室外”，用在此處意義明顯不符。
15. D) 根據(jù)詞匯線索可知選項D為正確答案，意為congratulate ...on... 是固定搭配，例如：Tom congratulates me on my success in passing the test.湯姆祝 賀我通過了這次考試
