We were also told to remain in our seats meanwhile with our seat belts fastened ?25 ? 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) ?26 ?by comparison.

The movement was so fierce that several passengers felt ?27 ? and had to use airsickness bags. As you might guess，that’s not good thing to have happen in a(n) ?28 ? ?space because it only ?29 ??to increase the discomfort of the situation.?

About twenty minutes into the adventure，the entire airplane became very ?30 .

There was now a sense of anxiety and fear that could be ?31 ? noticed．Every passenger simply held on for dear life …except one. A ?32 ?was having a good time! With each bump of the ?33 ?!he would let out a giggle(咯咯的笑) of delight As I observed this，I ? 34 ? ?that he didn’t know he was supposed to be afraid and worried about his ?35 ?.

語篇解讀：本文記述了作者一次因開會去拉斯維加斯時，飛機(jī)因沙塵暴而延時降落，在不斷延長的等待中，成人焦急、害怕，唯獨(dú)不知恐懼的嬰兒在享受著過山車一樣的顛簸。作者也深受啟發(fā)，體驗(yàn)了一次孩子的享受。

21. 答案：B

解析：根據(jù) “High desert winds…to close all but one runway”可知因沙塵暴關(guān)閉所有的跑道，只留一條，故應(yīng)為延時降落。

22. 答案：A

解析：因?yàn)樯硥m暴迫使機(jī)場關(guān)閉跑道。 B為“警告”；C意為“打掃，席卷”；D意為“提醒”，均不符合題意

23. 答案：C

解析：飛機(jī)在等待降落的過程中應(yīng)該是繞城市盤旋。故應(yīng)選C。 A. watch用于著動態(tài)的場面； B. visit意為“參觀，拜訪”； D. cross意為“橫穿”

24. 答案：D

解析：根據(jù)上下文句意可知，飛機(jī)要繞城市盤旋幾分鐘以便等待著陸

25. 答案：C

解析：句意為；“我們被告知仍在座位上坐好，系好安全帶，因?yàn)轱w機(jī)可能有顛簸?！贝颂帒?yīng)為because引導(dǎo)的原因狀語從句

26. 答案：B

解析：make…pale by comparison “使……相形見絀”，此處用以強(qiáng)調(diào)飛機(jī)在空中極不穩(wěn)定

27. 答案：A

解析：句意為：“象過山車一樣的巨烈運(yùn)動使旅客惡心而不得不用嘔吐袋。A. sick 意為“惡心的”；B. nervous意為“緊張的”； C. angry 意為“生氣的”；D. afraid意為“害怕的”。

28．答案:?B

解析：此空前的that指的是using airsickness bags，也就是發(fā)生在飛機(jī)上狹小空間中的嘔吐，因此選用narrow“狹窄的”，后面的space指的是飛機(jī)內(nèi)部空間。empty 意為“空的”，secret意為“秘密的”，均不合題意。

29．答案: A

解析：在這種情形下本來就很難受，在飛機(jī)上嘔吐使得這種難受更加強(qiáng)烈，此處serve意為“起……作用，用作……”。

30. 答案：A

解析：根據(jù)后面的 a sense of anxiety and fear可知，人們都很緊張、焦慮，在這種情形下飛機(jī)上的人一定是靜悄悄的。

31. 答案：D

解析：飛機(jī)上的焦躁不安，應(yīng)該是能夠很明顯的被感覺到，故選clearly

32. 答案：B

解析：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

33. 答案：D

解析：應(yīng)是飛機(jī)的每一次顛簸讓孩子體驗(yàn)坐過山車一樣的感受，孩子發(fā)出咯咯的笑聲

34. 答案：A

解析：句意為我意識到孩子不知道他應(yīng)該害怕和擔(dān)心

35. 答案：B

解析：應(yīng)是為他的安全擔(dān)心

36. 答案：C

解析：成人都是從孩子時代過來的。是成人的親身經(jīng)歷讓他們知道孩子不知道什么是害怕和擔(dān)心

37. 答案：D

解析：因?yàn)楹⒆硬恢篮ε?，自然是在飛機(jī)的顛簸中享受坐過山車般的快樂

38. 答案：A

解析：sat back into my seat意為坐回到座位上

39. 答案：C

解析：句意應(yīng)為：“我坐回到我的座位上，假裝真地坐上了過山車。”A項意為“幾乎”；B項意為“最后”，D項意為“突然”，均不合題意。

40．答案: B

解析：我甚至咯咯地笑了一兩次。作者應(yīng)該是真的笑出了聲，才讓鄰座的手拿嘔吐袋的人懊惱。做成了某事用managed to do.
