【題目】請根據(jù)短文內容，完成信息記錄表，每空一詞。

Flying is a fast way to travel. But it is a big headache for some people. They can’t help worrying about things like “Is it dangerous if we don’t change our mobile phones to airplane mode (飛行模式)?” Here are some interesting facts about flying.

Why are plane windows round?

It’s for safety. As the airplane flies higher and higher, the atmospheric pressure (氣壓) outside gets lower and lower. During the flight, the pressure inside the plane becomes greater than the pressure outside. When this happens, square windows can break. That’s because having different pressures inside and outside putsstress on the corners of square windows. But rounded corners can spread the pressure more evenly (均勻地) across the window’s surface, making it less likely to break.

What happens when a phone isn’t in airplane mode?

Some passengers believe mobile phones and tablets(平板電腦) need to be turned off because they can bring the plane down. However, this is not true. If you don’t change your phone to airplane mode, pilots and air traffic controllers may hear unpleasant sounds in their headphones. This makes it harder for them to communicate. So it’s still best to put your devices (設備) in airplane mode.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】flying

【2】safety

【3】inside

【4】outside

【5】break

【6】crash

【7】true

【8】sounds

【9】headphones

【10】communication

【解析】

文章大意：本文介紹了關于乘飛機的有趣的事實。飛機的窗戶是圓的，它能使飛機內部的壓力更均勻地穿過窗戶的表面，從而減少破裂的可能性。當手機不在飛行模式時，就會干擾飛行員和空中交通管制員們之間的溝通交流。

【1】

考查動詞。根據(jù)第一段最后1句“Here are some interesting facts about flying”，可知本文主要談論一些關于飛行的有趣的事實。由空前的介詞about考慮此處填動詞-ing形式，故答案為flying。

【2】

考查名詞。根據(jù)第三段第1句“It's for safety”，可知飛機的圓窗是為了安全。故答案為safety。

【3】

考查介詞。根據(jù)第三段第3句“During the flight, the pressure inside the plane becomes greater than the pressure outside”，可知在飛行過程中，飛機內部的壓力比外部的壓力大。此處介詞inside表示“在……內部”，故答案為inside。

【4】

考查介詞。根據(jù)第三段第3句“During the flight, the pressure inside the plane becomes greater than the pressure outside”，可知在飛行過程中，飛機內部的壓力比外部的壓力大。此處介詞outside表示“在……外部”，故答案為outside。

【5】

考查動詞。根據(jù)第三段第4句“When this happens,square windows can break”，可知當這種情況發(fā)生時，方窗可能會破裂。由動詞不定式作賓語補足語，考慮此處填動詞原形形式，故答案為break。

【6】

考查動詞。根據(jù)第五段第1句”Some passengers believe mobile phones and tablets need to be turned off because they can bring the plane down”，可知一些乘客認為，手機和平板電腦需要關閉，因為它們可以使飛機墜毀。原文用短語bring down 表示”墜毀”之意，此處可以同義轉換為動詞crash，故答案為crash。

【7】

考查形容詞。根據(jù)第五段第2句“However, this is not true”，可知這種情況不是真實的。故答案為true。

【8】

考查名詞。根據(jù)第五段第3句“If you don't change your phone to airplane mode, pilots and air traffic controllers may hear unpleasant sounds in their headphones”，可知如果你不把手機換成飛行模式，飛行員和空中交通管制員可能會在耳機里聽到不愉快的聲音。此處sounds表示“響聲”，為可數(shù)名詞，考慮填復數(shù)形式，故答案為sounds。

【9】

考查名詞。根據(jù)第五段第3句“If you don't change your phone to airplane mode, pilots and air traffic controllers may hear unpleasant sounds in their headphones”，可知如果你不把手機換成飛行模式，飛行員和空中交通管制員可能會在耳機里聽到不愉快的聲音。此處headphones表示“耳機”，為可數(shù)名詞，故答案為headphones。

【10】

考查名詞。根據(jù)第五段第4句“This makes it harder for them to communicate”，可知這使得他們更難交流。原文用動詞不定式to communicate表示“交流”之意，此處由空前的物主代詞their可知要轉換為名詞communication，故答案為communication。
