Answer 1

二、1. A解析：由下文可知文章敘述的是飛機上 發生的事情。

by air=by plane。

2. C解析:他喜歡坐在窗子“旁邊”。

3. B解析:他在飛機上尋找靠窗的座位，發 現只剩下一個了。

4. B解析:從句子結構看，此空該填非謂語 動詞。

seat是及物動詞，意思是“使某人就 座”，它與a young man是動賓關系，所以用 seated ,表示狀態。

5. C解析：不能選A. 因為arrive為不及物 動詞；由下文可知，他根本沒坐下來，所以 也不能選B;若選   D. 則與上句的he went towards it 相矛盾。

6. D解析：in large letters是固定說法，意為

“用大字”。

7. B解析：這里用現在分詞表示伴隨。

say 強調“說”的內容，而speak則指“說”某種語言，故選   B.

8. D解析:which引導定語從句。

9. A解析:another泛指“三者或三者以上中的另一個”。

10. C解析:此處不定式to sit用作定語，應 與被修飾的名詞seat構成動賓關系，而sit 是不及物動詞，必須加上介詞in。

11. B解析：try表示設法去做某事，但不強 調是否做成;manage表示設法做成某事。 由本句末的 but they also read the notice and went on 可知，選   B.

12. B解析：飛機上的人越來越多，快要“滿 了”，所以用full。

13. B解析：enter作“進人”講時，不與into

連用，故選   B.

14. A解析：quickly表示“快速地”，用于此 處符合這個年輕人的心境，也大大地增強 了文章的幽默感。

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