Answer 1

二、1. A解析：由下文可知文章叙述的是飞机上 发生的事情。

by air=by plane。

2. C解析:他喜欢坐在窗子“旁边”。

3. B解析:他在飞机上寻找靠窗的座位，发 现只剩下一个了。

4. B解析:从句子结构看，此空该填非谓语 动词。

seat是及物动词，意思是“使某人就 座”，它与a young man是动宾关系，所以用 seated ,表示状态。

5. C解析：不能选A. 因为arrive为不及物 动词；由下文可知，他根本没坐下来，所以 也不能选B;若选   D. 则与上句的he went towards it 相矛盾。

6. D解析：in large letters是固定说法，意为

“用大字”。

7. B解析：这里用现在分词表示伴随。

say 强调“说”的内容，而speak则指“说”某种语言，故选   B.

8. D解析:which引导定语从句。

9. A解析:another泛指“三者或三者以上中的另一个”。

10. C解析:此处不定式to sit用作定语，应 与被修饰的名词seat构成动宾关系，而sit 是不及物动词，必须加上介词in。

11. B解析：try表示设法去做某事，但不强 调是否做成;manage表示设法做成某事。 由本句末的 but they also read the notice and went on 可知，选   B.

12. B解析：飞机上的人越来越多，快要“满 了”，所以用full。

13. B解析：enter作“进人”讲时，不与into

连用，故选   B.

14. A解析：quickly表示“快速地”，用于此 处符合这个年轻人的心境，也大大地增强 了文章的幽默感。

15. C解析：take...off...是固定搭配，意为 “把……从……取下”。
