解析:

【语篇解读】本文记述了作者一次因开会去拉斯维加斯时,飞机因沙尘暴而延时降落,在不断延长的等待中,成人焦急、害怕,唯独一个不知恐惧的婴儿在享受着过山车一样的颠簸。作者也深受启发,体验了一次孩子的享受。

21.根据High desert winds……to close all but one runway,可知因沙尘暴关闭所有跑道,只留一条,故应为延时降落。

22.应为沙尘暴迫使机场关闭跑道。B意为“警告”;C意为“打扫,席卷”;D意为“提醒”,均不合题意。

23.飞机在等待降落的过程中应该是绕城市盘旋。故应选C。A. watch用于看动态的场面;B. visit意为“参观,拜访”,D. cross以为“横穿”。

24.根据上文句意可知,飞机要绕城市盘旋几分钟以便等待着陆。

25.句意为:“我们被告知仍在座位上坐好,系好安全带,因为飞机可能有颠簸。”,此处应为because引导的原因状语从句。

26.make...pale by comparison“使……相形见绌”,此处用以强调飞机在空中极不稳定。27.句意为:“像过山车一样的巨烈运动使旅客恶心而不得不用呕吐袋。A. sick 意为“恶心的”;B. nervous意为“紧张的”; C. angry 意为“生气的”;D. afraid意为“害怕的”。

28.此空前的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指的是飞机内部空间。empty 意为“空的”,secret意为“秘密的”,均不合题意。

29.在这种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……”。

30.根据后面的a sense of anxiety and fear可知,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。

31.飞机上的焦躁不安,应该是能够很明显地被感觉到,故选clearly。

32.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。

33.应是飞机的每一次颠簸让孩子体验坐过山车一样的感受,孩子发出咯咯的笑。

34.句意为我意识到孩子不知道他应该害怕和担心。

35.应是为他的安全担心。

36.成人都是从孩子时代过来的。是成人的亲身经历让他们知道孩子不知道什么是害怕和担心。

37.因为孩子不知道害怕,自然是在飞机的颠簸中享受坐过山车般的快乐。

38.sat back into my seat意为坐回到座位上,

39.句意应为:“我坐回到我的座位上,假装真地坐上了过山车。”A项意为“几乎”;B项意为“最后”,D项意为“突然”,均不合题意。

40.我甚至咯咯地笑了一两次。作者应该是真的笑出了声,才让邻座的手拿呕吐袋的人懊恼。做成了某事用managed to do.
