篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者遇到大暴雨，被好心人帮助，随后作

者又给予回报的故事。

推知，空处应是说天气变得更糟后的状况，故A项符合语境。

32.D根据空处前一句一位年轻人向“我”挥手，让“我”将车停在他的车道里；据此

可推知，“我”很感谢他让“我”免遭暴风雨，故D项与此处匹配。

他不介意被雨淋湿，故G项符合语境。

34.F根据空处前一句可知，上午十一点时，电力和电话服务都中断了；据此可推知，

作者无法联系家人，故F项符合语境。

篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者一次惊险的乘坐飞机的经历。从中作者

也深受启发，明白了要享受当下，享受每一刻。

36.A.mistakeB.delay

C.changeD.wind

答案：B根据下句"Asandstorm...tocloseallbutonerunway.”可知，因沙尘

暴的缘故只剩下一条跑道让飞机降落，由此推断飞机应延时降落，故选B。

37.A.forcedB.warned

C.sweptD.reminded

答案：A根据语境及常识可知，由于沙尘暴天气的缘故，机场不得不关闭了所有的飞机

跑道，只剩下其中一个，force...todosth.“迫使……做某事”，其他选项均不符合语

境,故选A。

38.A.watchingB.visiting

C.circlingD.crossing

答案：c由常识推断，飞机在等待降落的过程中应该是绕城市上空盘旋。故选a

39.A.arriveB.enter

C.stopD.land

答案：D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盘旋以等待

降落。

40.A.ifB.though

C.becauseD.while

答案：C根据空格后的“theremightbeafewbumps（颠簸）”可知，此处是乘务人

员告诉乘客系紧安全带的原因，所以此处应用because引导原因状语从句，故选C。

41.A.lightB.pale

C.darkD.quick

答案：B固定短语palebycomparison"相比之下微不足道，相形见细”，此处用以

强调飞机在空中剧烈颠簸，比过山车还要惊险。

42.A.sickB.nervous

C.angryD.afraid

答案：A根据后面的“useairsickness（晕机）bags"可知，几名乘客在猛烈的颠簸

下感到恶心、难受，所以选A。

43.A.emptyB.narrow

C.secretD.open

答案:B空格前的"that”指的是usingairsicknessbags,后面的“space”指的是

座位处的空间，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”。

44.A.servesB.aims

C.failsD.happens

答案：A根据上下文可知，在此种情形下本来就很难受，晕机使得这种情形更加难受。

servetodosth.为固定用法，意为“起作用，产生效果”,故选A。

45.A.quietB.hot

C.dirtyD.crowded

答案：A根据下文的描述Therewasnowasenseofanxietyandfear”并结合语

境可以推测，当时人们都很紧张、焦虑，在这种情形下，飞机上一定是静悄悄的，所以选A。

46.A.partlyB.gradually

C.shortlyD.clearly

答案：D由上下文的讲述可以推测，在当时的情形下，人们焦虑不安，应该能够很明显

地被感觉到，故选D。

47.A.pilotB.baby

C.guardD.man

答案：B从后文中的描述“Witheachbumpofthe48hewouldletoutagiggle
