单选题Read the following text. Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and
mark A, B, C or D. Nowadays, air travel is very
{{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}. We are not surprised when we watch
on TV that a politician has talked with French President in Paris and attended a
meeting in Beijing on the same day. {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}},
if a person takes long-distance flying frequently, he can be so tired that he
maybe feel his brain is in one country, his {{U}} {{U}} 3
{{/U}} {{/U}}in another. {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}, he
{{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}knows where he is.
When we fly from east to west or {{U}} {{U}} 6 {{/U}}
{{/U}}versa, the {{U}} {{U}} 7 {{/U}} {{/U}}we experience after
taking a long-distance flying is {{U}} {{U}} 8 {{/U}} {{/U}},
because we cross time zones. According to doctors, air travelers, after crossing
several time zones, are in no {{U}} {{U}} 9 {{/U}} {{/U}}to go
to work, and they should go {{U}} {{U}} 10 {{/U}} {{/U}}to bed
{{U}} {{U}} 11 {{/U}} {{/U}}arrival. As to
airline pilots who often live {{U}} {{U}} 12 {{/U}} {{/U}}their
own watches and ignore local time, there is no need for them to worry about
their health although they sometimes have breakfast at midnight, because they
are used to {{U}} {{U}} 13 {{/U}} {{/U}}and are {{U}}
{{U}} 14 {{/U}} {{/U}}fit. Many businessmen like
long-distance flights, thinking they are {{U}} {{U}} 15 {{/U}}
{{/U}}to have been chosen and they are out for promotion. They are lucky if the
company follows the doctor's advice and allow them to rest for a day or two
{{U}} {{U}} 16 {{/U}} {{/U}}working. However, sometimes the
manager is so energetic that he believes everyone is {{U}} {{U}}
17 {{/U}} {{/U}}to be as fit as he is. Since he has never felt {{U}}
{{U}} 8 {{/U}} {{/U}}after flying himself, the work he assigns is so
{{U}} {{U}} 19 {{/U}} {{/U}}that the employee is too {{U}}
{{U}} 20 {{/U}} {{/U}}to carry the work out satisfactorily. That is
disastrous for the employee's health and the company's reputation.
单选题
A.ordinary
B.common
C.plain
D.usual
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] ordinary“普通的，平凡的”，如an ordinary sort of day“平平常常的一天”；common“常见的，普遍的”，如a common mistake“常见的一个错误”；plain“平庸的，平凡的，相貌平平的”，如a plain woman“一个相貌平平的女人”；usual“惯常的”，如usual excuses“司空见惯的借口”。本句的意思是“现在，飞行很常见。”所以，本题选择B。
【答案解析】[解析] In short order“麻利、简单省事”；All in one“多功能、多用途”，如It's a cork-screw and bottle-opener all in one.“这是一物多用，既是瓶塞钻，又是开瓶器。”In a word“一句话，总之”；In other words“换句话说”。通读第一段可知，最后一句是对上一句的总结，选项A，B和D均不适合。所以，本题选择C。
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查的是use的用法。used to do something表示“曾经做过某事”；be used to something or be used to doing something表示“习惯于、适应”。由上文的意思可知，本句的意思是“飞行员已习惯了飞行，”选项A，C和D均不适合。所以，本题选择B。
【答案解析】[解析] 由第二段可知，医生建议长途飞行回来后休息一下再开始工作，由此可推知本句的意思，如果公司采纳医生的建议，那么它肯定会允许长途飞行回来后的职员在工作之前先体息一两天。所以，选项B和C均不符合。in front of表示的是地理位置，“在…前面”，也不符合。所以，本题选择A。
单选题
A.likely
B.supposed
C.going
D.expected
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] be likely to do something“可能做某事”；be supposed to do something“应该做某事”；be going to do something“将要做某事”；be expected to do something“预计会做某事、盼望做某事”。本句的意思是“但是，有时候经理精力很旺盛，而且他认为每个人都应该像他一样适应飞行。”选项A，C和D均不适合。所以，本题选择B。
