Question

Recently，I flew to Las Vegas to attend a meeting. As we were about to arrive，the pilot announced with apology that there would be a slight             before setting down. High desert winds had       the airport to close all but one runway. He said that we would be        the city for a few minutes waiting to      . We were also told to remain in our seats meanwhile（同時） with our seat belts fastened      there might be a few bumps(顛簸)．Well，that few minutes turned into about four—five minutes，including a ride that would make a roller coaster(過山車)     by comparison（比較起來）.

The movement was so fierce(猛烈的) that several passengers felt      and had to use airsickness（暈機） bags. As you might guess，that’s not good thing to have happen in a(n)      space because it only      to increase the discomfort of the situation.

  About twenty minutes into the adventure，the entire airplane became very   .

There was now a sense of anxiety and fear that could be     noticed．Every passenger simply held on for dear life …except one. A     was having a good time! With each bump of the__ ___he would let out a giggle(咯咯的笑)of delight. As I observed this，I        that he didn’t know he was supposed to be afraid and worried about his      .He neither thought about the past nor about the future .Those are what we grown—ups have learned from      .He was     the ride  because had not yet been taught to fear it. Having understood this，I took a deep breath and          back into my seat，pretending（假裝） I was       on a roller coaster. I smiled for the rest of the flight. I even       to giggle once or twice ,much to the chagrin(懊惱)of the man sitting next to me holding the airsickness bag.

試題分析：本文記述了作者的一次經(jīng)歷。一次因開會去拉斯維加斯時，飛機因沙塵暴而延時降落，在不斷延長的等待和飛機劇烈的顛簸中，成年人焦急、害怕，唯獨不知恐懼的嬰兒卻在享受著過山車一樣的顛簸。因此作者也深受啟發(fā)，體驗了一次孩子的享受。

1.B名詞辨析。A. 錯誤；B . 延期；        C .變化；D. 風(fēng)。解析：根據(jù) “High desert winds…to close all but one runway”可知因沙塵暴的緣故只剩下一條跑道讓飛機降落，由此推斷飛機應(yīng)為延時降落，答案選B。

2.A動詞辨析。A. 強迫；B . 警告；C . 清掃；D. 保留。解析：根據(jù)上下文可知由于沙漠的大風(fēng)機場不得不關(guān)閉了所有的飛機跑道，只剩下其中一個，force sb to do sth“強迫某人做某事”，其他選項均不符合語境，故答案選A，。

3.C動詞辨析。 A.觀看；B訪問；C. 轉(zhuǎn)圈；D. 穿過。由情理推斷飛機在等待降落的過程中應(yīng)該是繞城市上空盤旋。故答案選C。

4.D動詞辨析。A.到達(dá)      ；B .進入；C . 停止；D . 著陸。根據(jù)上文可知由于飛機跑道的關(guān)閉，作者乘坐的飛機必須在空中等待降落。

5.C連詞辨析。A.如果；B . 雖然；C . 因為；D. 同時。根據(jù)語境可知there might be a few bumps(顛簸)是乘務(wù)人員告訴乘客系緊安全帶的原因，所以此處應(yīng)是because引導(dǎo)的原因狀語從句，答案選C。

6. B形容詞辨析。A.輕的；B .蒼白的；C . 困難； D . 迅速。解析：固定短語make sb pale by comparison “使……相形見絀”，此處用以強調(diào)飛機在空中極不穩(wěn)定，比過山車還要驚險，故答案選B。

7.A形容詞辨析。A. 惡心的；B . 緊張的；C .生氣的；D. 害怕的。解析：根據(jù)后面的use airsickness（暈機） bags可知幾名乘客在猛烈的顛簸下感到惡心，難受，所以答案選A。句意為：“象過山車一樣的巨烈顛簸使旅客惡心而不得不用嘔吐袋。

8.B形容詞辨析。A.空的；B .窄的；C . 秘密的；D. 開放的。空前的that指的是using airsickness bags，也就是發(fā)生在飛機上狹小空間中的嘔吐，因此選用narrow“狹窄的”，后面的space指的是座位處的空間。

9.D動詞辨析。A. 發(fā)生；B .繼續(xù)；C. 失��；D . 服務(wù)。根據(jù)上下文可知在暈機的情形下本來就很難受，在飛機上嘔吐使得這種難受更加強烈，此處serve意為“起……作用，用作……”，故答案選D。

10.A形容詞辨析。A.安靜；B .炎熱；C . 骯臟；D.擁擠。根據(jù)下文對情形的描述There was now a sense of anxiety and fear可以推測當(dāng)時人們都很緊張、焦慮，在這種情形下飛機上的人一定是靜悄悄的， 所以答案選A。

11.D副詞辨析。A.部分地；B .逐漸地；C . 立刻；          D .清楚地。由上下文的講述可以推測在當(dāng)時的情形下人們的焦躁不安，應(yīng)該是能夠很明顯的被感覺到，而且Every passenger simply held on for dearlife…except one也是重要提示，故答案選D。

12.B名詞辨析。A. 飛行員；B .嬰兒；C . 衛(wèi)兵；D .男人。從后文中的 “he didn’t know he was supposed to be afraid and worried…Those are what we grown—ups have learned …”他不知道害怕和著急……，那是我們成年人……，可推測出應(yīng)該是孩子，故答案選B。

13.D名詞辨析。A. 座位；B . 旅客；C . 飛行；D .飛機。從上文可知作者主要講述飛機在降落期間的顛簸讓人們產(chǎn)生了焦躁感，由此推測應(yīng)是飛機的每一次顛簸讓孩子體驗坐過山車一樣的感受，因此孩子發(fā)出咯咯的笑聲，所以選D。

14.A動詞辨析。A. 意識到；B . 希望；C . 同意 ；D. 堅持 。根據(jù)語境可知看到孩子的這種表現(xiàn)作者意識到在這種狀況下孩子不知道他應(yīng)該害怕和擔(dān)心，其他選項不符合語境，故答案選A。

15.B名詞辨析。A.健康；B . 安全；C . 快樂；D . 財富。由上文可知飛機的這種顛簸讓人們擔(dān)心自己的安全，所以推斷此處應(yīng)是為他自己的安全擔(dān)心，故答案選B。

16.C名詞辨析。A.教師；B . 書籍；C . 經(jīng)歷；D. 朋友。由情理可知成年人都是從孩子時代過來的，他們親身經(jīng)歷過不知道什么是害怕和擔(dān)心的時期，因此答案選C。

17.D動詞辨析。A. 學(xué)習(xí)；B .帶走；C .想念；D .享受。從上文he would let out a giggle(咯咯的笑)of delight.可知因為孩子不知道害怕，所以在飛機的顛簸中享受坐過山車般的快樂，答案選D。

18.A動詞辨析。A.坐；B .跳；C . 去；D . 騎。sat back into my seat意為坐回到座位上，其他選項不合語境，故答案選A。

19. C副詞辨析。A.幾乎；B .最后；C . 真正地；D . 突然。由下文可知作者從孩子的表現(xiàn)意識到了對害怕的無畏無懼會讓人享受每一刻，由此推測他在座位上坐好，假裝真地坐上了過山車，準(zhǔn)備和孩子一樣也去享受坐過山車的快樂，其他選項均不合語境。

20.B動詞辨析。A. 嘗試；B. 管理；C . 想要；D . 決定。根據(jù)much to the chagrin(懊惱)of the man可以推測作者應(yīng)該是真的笑出了聲，才讓鄰座的手拿嘔吐袋的人感到懊惱，“做成了某事”用managed to do，故答案選B。
