Question

As a boy growing up in India, I had longed to travel abroad. I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s, with great interest.

My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe, where my father was to attend a meeting. We planned to travel to Belgium, Netherlands and West Germany.

I have vivid memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand, during the flight to Frankfurt. We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew. The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, even for someone like me, who is otherwise scared of flying.

After spending almost two weeks in Europe, we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport, for our return flight. What a journey that was!All along the Rhine(萊茵河), it was simply an unforgettable experience. I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation, but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again, with the quality of their service.

Being the first airline to take me overseas, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. Even today, I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. Flying, in general, for me, has always been an ordeal(terrible and painful experience). Flying on Lufthansa, however, is something I always have and always will look forward to.

1.

2.2】選B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在與事實(shí)“和父母雙親一起去的”不符; C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在與事實(shí)“他們是在夏季去的”不符; D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在與事實(shí)“在歐洲待了兩個(gè)星期”不符。B項(xiàng)與文章吻合。

3.3】選C。推理判斷題。通過后三段內(nèi)容不難看出, 此為一家航空公司的名稱(德國(guó)漢莎航空公司)。

4.4】選B。詞義猜測(cè)題。想到愉快的旅行就要結(jié)束, 其心情自然不好, 故選B項(xiàng)。根據(jù)后半句“但德國(guó)漢莎航空公司卻以其高質(zhì)量的服務(wù)使得‘我’這一返程旅行轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)?/span>a most enjoyable experience”也可推知。
