Charles Plumb, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, was a jet fighter pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was   36  by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb was   37  and spent six years in prison in Vietnam. He survived and now   38  about lessons learned from that experience.

One day, Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant when a man at another table came up and said, "You're Plumb! You   39  jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier (航空母舰) Kitty Hawk . You were   40  !"

"How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb.

"I   41  your parachute," the man replied. Plumb gasped(倒吸一口气) in surprise and   42  .The man pumped his hand and said, "I guess it worked!"

Plumb assured him, "It   43  did—if your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today."

Plumb couldn't sleep that night,thinking about that man. He says, "I wondered how many times I might have passed him   44  the Kitty Hawk. I wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you', or anything   45  , you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a   46  ."

Plumb thought of the many days the sailor had spent on a long wooden table in the bowels(深处)of the ship   47  working on each chute, holding in his hands each time the   48  of someone he didn't know.

Plumb asks his   49  , "Who's packing your   50 ? Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it   51  the day." Plumb also says that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down-he needed his   52  parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these   53  before reaching safety. His experience reminds us all to   54  and be kind to people who pack our daily parachutes, and strengthen us to go through   55  times.

【解析】

试题分析:毕业于美国海军军官学校的查尔斯·普拉姆,在越战期间是一名喷气式战机飞行员。在完成75次作战任务后,他的飞机被地空导弹击落。他被抓获并在北越监狱待了六年。有一天,当普拉姆和他的妻子在一家餐馆用餐时,遇到了给他打包降落伞的水手,他很感激这个人,他的经历提醒我们所有人, 去发现那些平日里为我们捆扎降落伞的人, 是他们给了我们走过风雨的力量。

1.考查动词及上下文的呼应。follow跟随; destroy摧毁; spy侦查; see看见。根据上下文, 应知他的飞机是被一发地空导弹所摧毁。而不是被跟踪或被发现或窥视。故选B。

2.考查动词及上下文的呼应。release释放; wound受伤; capture俘获; kill杀死。根据下文的“...spent six years in prison in Vietnam. ”可知Plumb是“被捕”了, 而不是“战亡”或“释放”, “受伤”的结果并不意味着要坐牢。故选C。

3.考查动词及上下文的呼应。Lecture演讲; give给; study学习; hear听见。他得以从那场磨难中逃生, 现在向人讲述他从那次经历中所学到的东西。只有lecture才和about搭配表示向人讲述之意。故选A。

4.考查动词及上下文的呼应。Repair修理; make制造; fly飞行; clean打扫。由第一段第一句可知Plumb是一个“a jet fighter pilot”,所以是“flew”,故选C。

5.考查动词短语及上下文的呼应。take down记下; look down俯视; set down放下; shot down击落。由第一段第二句可知Plumb的飞机被地空导弹摧毁, 故是“被击落”。故选D。

6.考查动词及上下文的呼应。buy买; check检查; find发现; pack捆扎,包装。由后文可知这个人的工作是在船上捆扎(pack)降落伞, 而不是检查(check)。故选D。

7.考查副词及上下文的呼应。gratefully感激地; suspiciously怀疑地; happily高兴地; sadly伤心地。普拉姆又惊讶又感激地倒吸了一口气。惊讶是这个人竟然认得他, 感激的是他捆扎的降落伞挽救了他的生命。普拉姆又惊讶又感激地倒吸了一口气。惊讶是这个人竟然认得他, 感激的是他捆扎的降落伞挽救了他的生命。 故选A。

8.考查副词及上下文的呼应。almost几乎; surely肯定地; narrowly勉强地; nearly几乎。由“Plumb assured him”可知Plumb说话是的语气是非常肯定的, 应用surely,故选B。

9.考查介词及上下文的呼应。abroad在国外; in在……里; on在……上; at在。有上文的“You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk.”及下文的“sailor”可推断出“Kitty Hawk”应是一艘航空母舰。在船上应用介词on。aboard是“登船”之意。故选C。

10.考查连词及上下文的呼应。so因此; because因为; unless除非; though可是。Plumb不跟那个人打招呼与“一个是飞行员, 一个是水手”之间是因果关系, 故用B。

11.考查名词及上下文的呼应。sailor水手,海员; captain船长; pilot飞行员; technician技师。有下文Plumb thought of the many days the sailor had spent…可知,故选A。

12.考查副词及上下文的呼应。Unwillingly不情愿地; immediately立刻; worriedly担心地; carefully 仔细地。由下文可知, 他应细心地整理好每一个降落伞。故选D。

13.考查名词及上下文的呼应。death死; fortune运气; fate 命运; chance 机会。他手里都掌握着一个素不相识的人的命运。故选C。

14.考查名词及上下文的呼应。wife妻子; children孩子们; sailors海员们; audience观众们。由上文的“...lectures about...”可知应是“观众”。故选D。

15.考查名词及上下文的呼应。Luggage行李; bag包; parachute降落伞; future 未来。根据上文I   41  your parachute," the man replied 可知应选C。

16.考查动词短语及上下文的呼应。make it through度过;make it to及时到达make it up to弥补;make it as取得成功。句意:每个人的生活中都有一个人, 这个人为我们提供度过难关所需要的东西。故选A。

17.考查形容词及上下文的呼应。Psychological心里的; physical物质的; imaginary想象的; safe安全的。由下文的“mental, emotional, spiritual”等词可知, 除了心理上的、感情上的、精神上的降落伞之外, 他还需要“物质上的”降落伞。故选B。

18.考查名词及上下文的呼应。spirits精神; emotions感情; supports支撑; people 人们。他动用了所有这些支撑力量才得以安全降落。上一句中提到的parachutes均为比喻用法, 并不是指真正的降落伞, 故此处不用A。故选C。

19.考查动词及上下文的呼应。award授予; recognize认出,发现; reward奖赏; help帮助。他的经历提醒我们所有人, 去发现那些平日里为我们捆扎降落伞的人, 是他们给了我们走过风雨的力量。故选B。

20.考查形容词及上下文的呼应。happy高兴的; tough艰苦的; comfortable舒适的; cosy舒适的。他的经历提醒我们所有人, 去发现那些平日里为我们捆扎降落伞的人, 是他们给了我们走过风雨的力量,故选B。

考点:故事类短文。
