解析試題分析:本文講解的是關于世界上最快的客機——協(xié)和式飛機(CONDORDE)的發(fā)展史。33年的歷史、英法聯(lián)手打造、耗資十多個億、兩倍于聲速……
【小題1】結合上文可知it指的是前文提到的協(xié)和飛機,本句如選invented或 produced,得用被動語態(tài),took off是“起飛”的意思,這里意指“它第一次飛行是在……”因此,用flew最為恰當。句意為:他在1969年3月2日首飛。故選C。
【小題2】聯(lián)系上下文可知句意為:從1956年開始這兩個國家就有一個關于超音速客機的夢想,故選B。
【小題3】work on 從事,致力于。句意:在1962年他們開始一起從事這個項目。故選A。
【小題4】cost“耗資”。paid,wanted的主語應是人,needed指根據計劃需要耗資等的數量,cost本身就表示花費成本的數量。聯(lián)系下文15億英鎊,主語為物,故選D,研制這個飛機花費了15億英鎊。
【小題5】詞義辨析。Voice嗓音; sound指一般聲音;noise噪音;shout喊聲。聯(lián)系上文可知句意為協(xié)和客機以兩倍音速飛行。此處泛指普通聲音,speed of sound意為“聲速”故選 B。
【小題6】考查take表示花費的用法。主語是it可知選A。句式:it takes some time/money to do sth。
【小題7】根據上下文之間的聯(lián)系,意為“你坐協(xié)和式飛機從London到New York,有可能已經到了New York,而還沒離開London。(這是由于時差)。
故選A。
【小題8】catch the flight 意為“趕上某次航班”。故選C。
【小題9】根據上文可知句意為:一小時后在紐約開始工作,故選B,an hour later,一小時后。
【小題10】通過上下文可知,這兩個機場所擁有的協(xié)和式飛機最多。故選D。
考點:關于協(xié)和客機的說明文
點評:本題短文內容不難理解,但是部分小題與上下文聯(lián)系不大,部分題型甚至可以獨立成題。因此在解答中有必要認真分析,把他們當成一個獨立的選擇題來對待。完成后多讀幾遍,看看上下文是否語句通順,符合邏輯關系。
