Question

【題目】 A famous American website listed some of the world's most dangerous runways(跑道).Even experienced pilot may find it difficult to land on these runways. Here are two of them.

Princess Juliana International Airport Runway Princess Juliana International Airport is in St Maarten. It is one of the busiest airports in the Caribbean. The airport is famous for its runway. While a large plane needs at least 2, 400 meters to land safely, the runway is only about 2, 200 meters long. What's more, the runway ends right on a beach. This means planes will fly directly over the people on the beach. In fact ,planes fly only 20 to 30 meters above people's heads! A large number of tourists visit the beach every year. They get excited when planes cause strong winds and loud noise on the beach.

The Ice Runway The Ice Runway is in Antarctica(南極洲). It is made of ice.This has made it the worlds most slippery runway. Landing on the runway is a challenge. The ice will break if a plane is too heavy.So the weight of each plane must be checked very carefully. When the temperature rises, the ice melts. So, there's no runway at all at that time.

【1】How long is the runway at Princess Juliana International Airport?

A.About 2, 400 metersB.About 20 meters

C.About 2, 200 metersD.About 30 meters

【2】How do people feel when planes cause strong winds and loud noise?

A.Scared.B.Sad.C.Angry.D.Excited

【3】Why do people check the weight of each plane flying on the Ice Runway?

A.Because the plane can't take off if it is too heavy.

B.Because the ice-made runway will break if the plane is too heavy

C.Because the plane can't land safely on the ice if it is too light.

D.Because all planes need to be checked before they take off.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】B

【解析】

本文主要介紹了美國一家著名網(wǎng)站列出的一些世界上最危險(xiǎn)的跑道，朱麗安娜公主國際機(jī)場(chǎng)跑道和南極洲的冰跑道。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中hile a large plane needs at least 2, 400 meters to land safely, the runway is only about 2, 200 meters long.可知這個(gè)跑到大約2, 200米長，故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)They get excited when planes cause strong winds and loud noise on the beach.可知當(dāng)飛機(jī)在海灘上引起強(qiáng)風(fēng)和巨響時(shí)，他們會(huì)興奮起來。故選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中The ice will break if a plane is too heavy. So the weight of each plane must be checked very carefully.可知如果飛機(jī)太重，冰就會(huì)碎。所以必須仔細(xì)檢查每架飛機(jī)的重量。故選B。
