名師點(diǎn)評

乘飛機時(shí)喜愛(ài)窗子旁邊，但是臨窗的座位上有一個(gè)警告，上面寫(xiě)著(zhù)：此座留著(zhù)是為了保持飛機平衡， 只好作罷。又有幾個(gè)乘客看到空座走了過(guò)去，但看到紙條后都離開(kāi)了。這時(shí)，上來(lái)一個(gè)年輕漂亮的女士，旁邊的年輕人就把紙條拿掉了。閱讀時(shí)注意體會(huì )文章的幽默感。

答案簡(jiǎn)析在下一頁(yè)：

1.A。因為下文敘述的是飛機上發(fā)生的事情。by air=by plane。

2.C。喜歡坐在窗子“旁邊”。

3.B。表示結果，與上句的look for(表動(dòng)作)相呼應。

4.B。從句子結構看，此空該填非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞形式。seat是及物動(dòng)詞， #p#分頁(yè)標題#e#

意思是“使某人就坐”，它與a young man是動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，所以用seated，表示狀態(tài);而sit是不及物動(dòng)詞，它與a young man是主謂關(guān)系，要用sitting，表示動(dòng)作。

5.C。不能選A，因為arrive為不及物動(dòng)詞;由下文可知，他根本沒(méi)坐下來(lái)，所以也不能選B;若選D，則與上句的he went towards it相矛盾。

6.D。in large letters是固定說(shuō)法，意為“用大寫(xiě)字母”。

7.B。這里該用現在分詞表示伴隨動(dòng)作。say強調“說(shuō)”的內容，而speak則指“說(shuō)”的動(dòng)作，故不選D。

8.D。which引導定語(yǔ)從句，指代先行詞something particularly heavy。

9.A。another表泛指“另一個(gè)”。

10.C。此處不定式to sit用作定語(yǔ)，應與被修飾的名詞seat構成動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，而sit卻是不及物動(dòng)詞，必須加上介詞on。

11.B。try只表示設法去做某事，而不表示是否做成;manage卻表示設法做成了某事。由本句末的but they also read the notice and went on得知，不選C。

12.B。隨著(zhù)情節的發(fā)展，飛機上的人越來(lái)越多，快要“滿(mǎn)了”，所以用full。

13.B。enter作“進(jìn)入”講時(shí)，一般不與into連用，故不選C。

14.A。quickly表示“立刻行動(dòng)，毫不遲延”用于此處符合the man 的心境，也大大地增強了文章的幽默感。

15.C。take ---off---是固定搭配，意為“把……從……取下”。
