Question

【题目】 China Eastern Airlines and other domestic airlines have begun to allow mobile phone use on their flights or announced plans to cancel the ban(禁令).

On Thursday, China Eastern Airlines and Hainan Airlines began to allow passengers to use portable electronic devices( PED,便携式电子设备), such as smart phones and tablets, but phones still have to be changed to airplane mode(飞行模式). China Southern Airlines and Xiamen Airlines announced Thursday they would allow mobile phone use on all their flights soon.

The permission comes after the Civil Aviation Administration of China(中国民用航空局) , it announced that the ban would be canceled earlier. According to the guideline before, staff in the planes needed to ask passengers to turn off any devices which could break up the flight, and even airplane mode was not permitted.

In-flight Wi-Fi is available on 74 of China Eastern Airlines' aircrafts, covering all international routes and 166 domestic routes. Hainan Airlines has enabled in-flight Wi-Fi on 17 of its airplanes.

“Before I just slept aboard the airplane, sometimes read magazines in front of me and then had nothing to do. But now, I can use my social network accounts like Weibo or We-chat ,” said a passenger named Zuo, who took a flight with Wi-Fi from Shanghai Thursday

Before 2018, mobile phone use on aircraft was banned over safety concerns. The ban is a common international practice, but with technological development and a higher demand from passengers, the ban has been canceled by some airlines.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】B

【4】C

【5】A

【解析】

东航等国内航空公司已经开始允许在他们的航班上使用手机或宣布计划取消禁令。在2018年以前，出于安全考虑，禁止在飞机上使用手机。随着科技的发展和乘客的更高要求，一些航空公司取消了禁令。飞机是否提供WiFi会是旅客选择不同航空公司航班的一个重要因素。

【1】细节理解题。根据第二段“China Eastern Airlines and Hainan Airlines began to allow passengers to use portable electronic devices”可知东航和海南航空允许使用手机，故选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据第三段“staff in the planes needed to ask passengers to turn off any devices ….”可知在老的规定里，乘客被要求关掉电子设备，故选A。

【3】词义猜测题。根据第四段“Hainan Airlines has enabled in-flight Wi-Fi on 17 of its airplanes.”可知海南航空已经在17架飞机上启用了机上Wi-Fi。推断上文指东航的74架飞机上都有飞行Wi-Fi，是可用的，由此判断available意为可以得到的，故选B。

【4】推理判断题。根据第七段“Other Chinese airlines are also considering allowing mobile phone use”可知其他中国航空公司也在考虑允许使用手机，所以不是所有的航线都允许使用手机和电子设备，所以A、D表述错误；根据第五段“sometimes read magazines in front of me and then had nothing to do”可知在机上还可以读杂志，所以B表述错误；根据第六段“Before 2018, mobile phone use on aircraft was banned over safety concerns.”可知出于安全考虑，禁止在飞机上使用手机。所以C表述正确； 故选C。

【5】主旨大意题。出于安全考虑，以前禁止在飞机上使用手机，随着科技的发展和乘客的更高要求，一些航空公司取消了禁令，其他中国航空公司也在考虑允许使用手机，文章围绕的中心话题是中国的航空公司开始允许乘客使用便携式电子设备；故选A。
