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(同时) with our seat belts fastened     there might be a few bumps(颠簸).Well,that few minutes turned into about four—five minutes,including a ride that would make a roller coaster(过山车)    by parison(比较起来).
The movement was so fierce(猛烈的) that several passengers felt     and had to use airsickness(晕机) bags. As you might guess,that’s not good thing to have happen in a(n)       space because it only      to increase the disfort 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(假装) 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(懊恼)of the man sitting next to me holding the airsickness bag.

(答案→)B 
解析:
试题分析:本文记述了作者的一次经历。一次因开会去拉斯维加斯时,飞机因沙尘暴而延时降落,在不断延长的等待和飞机剧烈的颠簸中,成年人焦急、害怕,唯独不知恐惧的婴儿却在享受着过山车一样的颠簸。因此作者也深受启发,体验了一次孩子的享受。
【小题1】B名词辨析。A. 错误;B . 延期;    C .变化;D. 风。解析:根据 “High desert winds…to close all but one runway”可知因沙尘暴的缘故只剩下一条跑道让飞机降落,由此推断飞机应为延时降落,答案选B。
【小题2】A动词辨析。A. 强迫;B . 警告;C . 清扫;D. 保留。解析:根据上下文可知由于沙漠的大风机场不得不关闭了所有的飞机跑道,只剩下其中一个,force sb to do sth“强迫某人做某事”,其他选项均不符合语境,故答案选A,。
【小题3】C动词辨析。 A.观看;B访问;C. 转圈;D. 穿过。由情理推断飞机在等待降落的过程中应该是绕城市上空盘旋。故答案选C。
【小题4】D动词辨析。A.到达;B .进入;C . 停止;D . 着陆。根据上文可知由于飞机跑道的关闭,作者乘坐的飞机必须在空中等待降落。
【小题5】C连词辨析。A.如果;B . 虽然;C . 因为;D. 同时。根据语境可知there might be a few bumps(颠簸)是乘务人员告诉乘客系紧安全带的原因,所以此处应是because引导的原因状语从句,答案选C。
【小题6】 B形容词辨析。A.轻的;B .苍白的;C . 困难; D . 迅速。解析:固定短语make sb pale by parison “使……相形见绌”,此处用以强调飞机在空中极不稳定,比过山车还要惊险,故答案选B。
【小题7】A形容词辨析。A. 恶心的;B . 紧张的;C .生气的;D. 害怕的。解析:根据后面的use airsickness(晕机) bags可知几名乘客在猛烈的颠簸下感到恶心,难受,所以答案选A。句意为:“象过山车一样的巨烈颠簸使旅客恶心而不得不用呕吐袋。
【小题8】B形容词辨析。A.空的;B .窄的;C . 秘密的;D. 开放的。空前的that指的是using airsickness bags,也就是发生在飞机上狭小空间中的呕吐,因此选用narrow“狭窄的”,后面的space指的是座位处的空间。
【小题9】D动词辨析。A. 发生;B .继续;C. 失败;D . 服务。根据上下文可知在晕机的情形下本来就很难受,在飞机上呕吐使得这种难受更加强烈,此处serve意为“起……作用,用作……”,故答案选D。
【小题10】A形容词辨析。A.安静;B .炎热;C . 肮脏;D.拥挤。根据下文对情形的描述There was now a sense of anxiety and fear可以推测当时人们都很紧张、焦虑,在这种情形下飞机上的人一定是静悄悄的, 所以答案选A。
【小题11】D副词辨析。A.部分地;B .逐渐地;C . 立刻;   D .清楚地。由上下文的讲述可以推测在当时的情形下人们的焦躁不安,应该是能够很明显的被感觉到,而且Every passenger simply held on for dearlife…except one也是重要提示,故答案选D。
【小题12】B名词辨析。A. 飞行员;B .婴儿;C . 卫兵;D .男人。从后文中的 “he didn’t know he was supposed to be afraid and worried…Those are what we grown—ups have learned …”他不知道害怕和着急……,那是我们成年人……,可推测出应该是孩子,故答案选B。
【小题13】D名词辨析。A. 座位;B . 旅客;C . 飞行;D .飞机。从上文可知作者主要讲述飞机在降落期间的颠簸让人们产生了焦躁感,由此推测应是飞机的每一次颠簸让孩子体验坐过山车一样的感受,因此孩子发出咯咯的笑声,所以选D。
【小题14】A动词辨析。A. 意识到;B . 希望;C . 同意 ;D. 坚持 。根据语境可知看到孩子的这种表现作者意识到在这种状况下孩子不知道他应该害怕和担心,其他选项不符合语境,故答案选A。
【小题15】B名词辨析。A.健康;B . 安全;C . 快乐;D . 财富。由上文可知飞机的这种颠簸让人们担心自己的安全,所以推断此处应是为他自己的安全担心,故答案选B。
【小题16】C名词辨析。A.教师;B . 书籍;C . 经历;D. 朋友。由情理可知成年人都是从孩子时代过来的,他们亲身经历过不知道什么是害怕和担心的时期,因此答案选C。
【小题17】D动词辨析。A. 学习;B .带走;C .想念;D .享受。从上文he would let out a giggle(咯咯的笑)of delight.可知因为孩子不知道害怕,所以在飞机的颠簸中享受坐过山车般的快乐,答案选D。
【小题18】A动词辨析。A.坐;B .跳;C . 去;D . 骑。sat back into my seat意为坐回到座位上,其他选项不合语境,故答案选A。
【小题19】 C副词辨析。A.几乎;B .最后;C . 真正地;D . 突然。由下文可知作者从孩子的表现意识到了对害怕的无畏无惧会让人享受每一刻,由此推测他在座位上坐好,假装真地坐上了过山车,准备和孩子一样也去享受坐过山车的快乐,其他选项均不合语境。
【小题20】B动词辨析。A. 尝试;B. 管理;C . 想要;D . 决定。根据much to the chagrin(懊恼)of the man可以推测作者应该是真的笑出了声,才让邻座的手拿呕吐袋的人感到懊恼,“做成了某事”用managed to do,故答案选B。
