As you might guess，that's not a good thing to have happen in a(n) __8__ space because it only __9__ to increase the discomfort of the situation.
About twenty minutes into the adventure，the entire airplane became very __10__.There was now a sense of anxiety and fear that could be __11__ noticed.Every passenger simply held on for dear life...except one.

1. 解析：選B。根據(jù) “High desert winds...to close all but one runway”可知，因沙塵暴關(guān)閉所有的跑道，只留一條，故應(yīng)為延時降落。
2. 解析：選A。因為沙塵暴迫使(force)機場關(guān)閉跑道。warn警告；sweep打掃，席卷；remind提醒，均不符合題意。
3. 解析：選C。飛機在等待降落的過程中應(yīng)該是繞城市盤旋，故應(yīng)選C。watch用于動態(tài)的場面；visit參觀，拜訪；cross橫穿，均不符合題意。
4. 解析：選D。根據(jù)上下文句意可知，飛機要繞城市盤旋幾分鐘以便等待著陸。
5. 解析：選C。句意為：我們被告知仍在座位上坐好，系好安全帶，因為飛機可能會有幾次顛簸。此處應(yīng)為because引導(dǎo)的原因狀語從句。
6. 解析：選B。make...pale by comparison使……相形見絀，此處用以強調(diào)飛機在空中極不穩(wěn)定。
7. 解析：選A。句意為：像過山車一樣的劇烈運動使旅客惡心而不得不用嘔吐袋。sick惡心的；nervous緊張的；angry生氣的；afraid害怕的。
8. 解析：選B。此空前的that指的是using airsickness bags，也就是發(fā)生在飛機上狹小空間內(nèi)的嘔吐，因此選用narrow(狹窄的)，后面的space指的是飛機內(nèi)部空間。empty空的；secret秘密的，均不合題意。
9. 解析：選D。在這種情形下本來就很難受，在飛機上嘔吐使得這種難受更加強烈。serve意為“起……作用，用作……”。
10. 解析：選A。根據(jù)后文中“a sense of anxiety and fear”可知，人們都很緊張、焦慮，在這種情形下飛機上的人一定是靜悄悄的。
11. 解析：選D。飛機上的焦躁不安，應(yīng)該是能夠很明顯的被觀察到，故選clearly。
12. 解析：選B。此處應(yīng)是“baby”，和下文“we grown－ups”形成對比。
13. 解析：選D。由文意可知，飛機的每一次顛簸讓孩子體驗坐過山車一樣的感受，孩子發(fā)出咯咯的笑聲。
14. 解析：選A。句意為：我通過觀察，才意識到這個孩子并不知道他應(yīng)該害怕或是擔心自己的安全。
15. 解析：選B。此處表示，為他的安全擔心。
16. 解析：選C。成人都是從孩子時代過來的，是成人的親身經(jīng)歷讓他們知道孩子不知道什么是害怕和擔心。
17. 解析：選D。因為孩子不知道害怕，自然是在飛機的顛簸中享受坐過山車般的快樂。
18. 解析：選A。sit back into my seat意為“坐回到我的座位上”。
19. 解析：選C。句意為：我坐回到我的座位上，假裝真的坐上了過山車。nearly幾乎；finally最后；suddenly突然，均不符合題意。
20. 解析：選B。句意為：我甚至咯咯地笑了一兩次。作者應(yīng)該是真的笑出了聲，才讓鄰座的手拿嘔吐袋的人懊惱。managed to do做成了某事。

Each time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. "Yes, honey. Of course." she said.
"Can we write him a letter?"
She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, "Yes."
My heart jumped. "How? Does the mailman go there?" I asked.
"No, but I have an idea." Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.
"Just wait, honey. You'll see." Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.
She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped (纏繞) the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.
"Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three."
The balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.
Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he'd persevere, dart up, and finally transcend (超越) this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditar. I prayed to be a balloon.
When the girl asked her mother if they could write to her father, her mother _________.
A．felt it hard to answer B．thought her a creative girl
C．believed it easy to do so D．found it easy to lie
When the girl was told that she could send a letter to her father, she _________.
A．jumped with joy B．became excited
C．started writing immediately D．was worried that it couldn't be delivered
In the eyes of the author, what was the rain like?
A．An incurable disease. B．An unforgettable memory.
C．The hard time her father had. D．The failures her father experienced.
What would be the best title for the passage?
A．An unforgettable experience B．The strong red balloon
C．Fly to paradise D．A great father
