Luckily he was flying at a good 7 when this misfortune happened, and he had time to look for a place to 8 .

It was not as flat as it had looked from the 11 , but he landed safely and 12 out to look round, wondering where he was.
He saw a few trees and one or two cows and horses 13 eating the grass in the fields. Along one of the 14 a man was walking, and this person stopped when he saw the plane.

第1题,上文提到有一个好的公寓(flat),说明已有很好的居住条件,据下文可知是买了一架“飞机”。 第2题,文中并没有提到与他人作比较,因此不强调这种娱乐只属于他人,排除D项;文中提到他知道如何玩乐,有好房子,经常去剧院或参加聚会,有最好的车,等等,这些描述并没有互相排斥,因此不能说他的哪项娱乐好或不好,只是买了飞机后因经常玩飞机,其他娱乐放在一边成“次要”的了,故应选A项。 第3题,上文提到他知道如何玩乐,因此这里描述他为了玩乐而飞行,而不侧重指旅途的愉快舒适等,应排除C、D项;fun作定语意为“逗笑的”,应被排除。 第4题,据but后描述的情况对比可知此句意为:起先一切都还进展顺利。谓语动词go为不及物动词,排除C;go作“进展”时常与副词搭配,因此最佳答案为D项。 第5题,后面的machine即指飞机,可知“水”对飞机的飞行不起决定作用,下文中描述了他如何设法在一块田地里安全降落,根据文意可推断不是轮子而是起落架出了故障。 第6题,据上文的but和下文中的when this misfortune happened可知这里描述飞机出故障了,根据常识,飞机上的东西不会无缘无故消失,因此C项也不适合。Fail意为“失灵,失去作用”。 第7题,飞机出故障时还能有时间寻找降落地方,飞机只能是在一个相当高的高度。 第8题,飞机在飞行中出故障当然是要赶紧找一个地方“降落”了。 第9题,对要降落的飞机而言,地势的“平坦”是至关重要的。 第10题,句意为“他成功地使飞机降落在一块地里”。无cause down这一搭配,bring down意为“使(飞行器)着陆”;get down意为“吞咽或写下”;take down意为“取下,拆除或记下”。 第11题,根据文意,此处是把降落到地面时看到的地面状况与在空中看到的地面状况相比较,应排除D项;sky意为“从地面和在空中看到的“天空”;atmosphere意为“围绕地球的“大气层”;air意为“飞行器能飞行的“空中”。 第12题,对于迫降的没有弦梯的小飞机而言,要出来查看周围情况当然只有“跳”了。 第13题,此处是描述宁静的乡村风景,silently侧重指“无声的”;still侧重指一。不动的”;calmly则指心态、情绪的“平静”;quietly指不存在激动、不安或骚乱,而是一片安宁、平定和恬静。 第14题.一般情况下.人是沿着“路”走的。 第15题,上文提到Hooker无奈中降落到乡村的一块平地里,想知道自己的位置,此时发现了一个人,下文已指出Hooker盯着他看的原因,因此最佳答案为with interest(感兴趣)。 第16题,该句需要一个副词修饰,而likely为形容词,应排除;perhaps与maybe意思相当,只是英、美表达的不同,能选B也即能选C、都应排除。 第17题,下文描述的是这个farm-worker的整个“外表”,因此最佳答案为appearance。 第18题,have seen better days意为“现在比以前穷困或恶劣,曾有过一段好日子”,这是形容农场工人的 第19题,后面的part of a tree即指树枝,因此拿着的只能是用树枝做的工具,依据常识不可能是hammer和plough。 第20题,前文已指出Hooker把飞机降落在一块田地里(field),后面并没有描述他的位置改变。
