【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文]14-16 M:Did you hear about the air crash that occurred in South America recently? It was quite a tragic accident! W:No, I didn't see anything in the news about it.What happened? M:A foreign airliner was attempting to land at night in a mountainous area in Argentina and flew into a hill! W:That sounds really terrible! Did anyone survive? M:No,everyone aboard,including the crew,was killed instantly. W:What were the circumstances? Were they bad weather, a fire, or engine failure? M:Apparently,there were some low clouds in the area,but mostly it was just miscommunication between the pilots and the air traffic controllers. W:Weren't they both speaking in English,the official international aviation language? M:Yes they were,but the transition from poor quality radios was slightly distorted and the accents of the Spanish speaking controllers was so strong that the pilots misunderstood a vital instruction. W:How could a misunderstanding like that cause such a serious accident? M:The pilots were told to descend to 22,000 feet.The instruction actually meant 22,000 feet,but they thought they heard descend 2,000 feet.That's a huge difference.and it should have been confirmed.but it was not.Unfortunately,the terrain of the mountains in Norweija ascend to 2,000 feet. W:So the pilots did descend to the wrong altitude then,because they were following the air controller's instructions. M:Sadly enough,yes they did.It was a really bad mistake.Many people died as a result of the simply misunderstanding. W:Wow,that's a powerful lesson on how important it can be to accurately communicate with each other.
