【解析】

這是一篇記敘文，主要講述無人機使運輸安全而且更快速，無人操作所以更便宜。介紹了手術(shù)的成功，并講述了無人機的廣泛使用。

【1】

句意：這不是很長的旅程，只有大約3英里，但是工程師希望使用它來飛行更長的距離。

longer后面缺名詞，根據(jù)“It wasn’t a long journey, only about 3 miles”可知此處指的是距離，用復(fù)數(shù)名詞distances。故選D。

【2】

句意：手術(shù)很成功，病人現(xiàn)在在美國的一家醫(yī)院逐漸好轉(zhuǎn)。

不定冠詞a后面用單數(shù)名詞，根據(jù)“the patient is now getting better”可知手術(shù)很成功，此處用名詞success。故選E。

【3】

句意：飛行器已經(jīng)被用來在全世界使用來幫助人們挽救生命。

根據(jù)“the world”可知此處缺介詞，用across the world表示“在全世界”。故選A。

【4】

句意：它們也已經(jīng)在澳大利亞被使用來幫助找到困在風(fēng)大浪急的海里的人們，甚至給那些在危險中的人們傳遞安全設(shè)備。

名詞seas前用形容詞修飾，根據(jù)“people caught in”可知此處用rough seas表示“風(fēng)大浪急的海里”。故選C。
