解析试题分析:本文讲解的是关于世界上最快的客机——协和式飞机(CONDORDE)的发展史。33年的历史、英法联手打造、耗资十多个亿、两倍于声速……
【小题1】结合上文可知it指的是前文提到的协和飞机,本句如选invented或 produced,得用被动语态,took off是“起飞”的意思,这里意指“它第一次飞行是在……”因此,用flew最为恰当。句意为:他在1969年3月2日首飞。故选C。
【小题2】联系上下文可知句意为:从1956年开始这两个国家就有一个关于超音速客机的梦想,故选B。
【小题3】work on 从事,致力于。句意:在1962年他们开始一起从事这个项目。故选A。
【小题4】cost“耗资”。paid,wanted的主语应是人,needed指根据计划需要耗资等的数量,cost本身就表示花费成本的数量。联系下文15亿英镑,主语为物,故选D,研制这个飞机花费了15亿英镑。
【小题5】词义辨析。Voice嗓音; sound指一般声音;noise噪音;shout喊声。联系上文可知句意为协和客机以两倍音速飞行。此处泛指普通声音,speed of sound意为“声速”故选 B。
【小题6】考查take表示花费的用法。主语是it可知选A。句式:it takes some time/money to do sth。
【小题7】根据上下文之间的联系,意为“你坐协和式飞机从London到New York,有可能已经到了New York,而还没离开London。(这是由于时差)。
故选A。
【小题8】catch the flight 意为“赶上某次航班”。故选C。
【小题9】根据上文可知句意为:一小时后在纽约开始工作,故选B,an hour later,一小时后。
【小题10】通过上下文可知,这两个机场所拥有的协和式飞机最多。故选D。
考点:关于协和客机的说明文
点评:本题短文内容不难理解,但是部分小题与上下文联系不大,部分题型甚至可以独立成题。因此在解答中有必要认真分析,把他们当成一个独立的选择题来对待。完成后多读几遍,看看上下文是否语句通顺,符合逻辑关系。
