　　7．—Would you like to buy car here?

　　—Yes，but I’d like to buy

　　made in Shanghai.

　　A．one

　　B．that

　　C．it D．the one

　　答案　A

　　in common.

　　A．but；nothing

　　B．/；anything

　　B．what

　　C．until

　　D．although

　　答案　A

　　解析　考查名词性从句。句意为：Tina对所提供的工作正在犹豫中，因为她不知道这家公司是不是一家地位稳固的公司。此处whether引导宾语从句，作know的宾语。

　　10．Only

　　the painting

　　decide whether it is worth buying.

　　A．that he sees；can he

　　B．that does he see；he can

　　C．when he sees；can he

　　D．when does he see；can he

　　When I stepped out of the plane from Miami into Charlotte，North Carolina，airport for a connecting flight home，I immediately knew something was wrong.Lots of desperate people crowded the terminal.I quickly learned that flights headed to the Northeast were called off because of a storm.The earliest they could get us out of Charlotte was Tuesday.It was Friday.A gate agent stood on the counter and shouted，“Don’t ask us for help！We cannot help you！”

　　I joined a crowd that ran from terminal to terminal in search of a flight out.Eventually，I found six strangers willing to rent a van with me.We drove through the night to Washington，where I took a train the rest of the way to Providence.

　　The real problem，of course，is that incidents like this happen every day，to everyone who flies，more and more often.It really gets to me，though，because for eight years I was on the other side，as a flight attendant for Trans­World Airlines(TWA)．

　　I know the days are gone when attendants could be written up if we did not put the lines napkins with the TWA logo in the lower right­hand corner of the first­class diners’ trays.As are the days when there were three dinner options on flights from Boston to Los Angeles in economy class.When，once，stuck on a tarmac(机场停机坪) in Newark for four hours，a planeload of passengers got McDonald’s hamburgers and fries by thoughtfulness of the airline.

　　However，airlines offer various excuses for cutting back service now.But what are they gaining when passengers leave a flight mistreated and hungry？It is surprising how easy it is to please passengers.Cereal and lots of coffee in the morning can do wonders for someone who had to leave home at 4 a．m.What works best of all，of course，is a smile.I trained for six weeks to become a flight attendant.Although the main focus was safety，I spent almost as much time learning good service.

　　I have experienced the decline of service along with the rest of the flying public.But I believe everything will change little by little，because I remember the days when to fly was to soar(翱翔)．The airlines，and their employees，took pride in how their passengers were treated.And I think the days are sure to come back one day in the near future.

　　5．Many people crowded the terminal because

　　.

　　A．something went wrong with the plane

　　B．something went wrong with the terminal

　　C．the flights to the Northeast were canceled

　　D．the gate agent wouldn’t help the passengers

　　答案　C

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“I quickly learned that flights headed to the Northeast were called off...”可知，许多人聚集在航站楼是因为飞往东北部的飞机因为暴风雨取消了。

　　6．Finally the author got to Providence

　　.

　　A．by air

　　B．by van

　　C．by train

　　D．by underground

　　答案　C

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“We drove through the night to Washington，where I took a train the rest of the way to Providence.”可知，作者连夜坐车到了华盛顿，然后从那里乘火车到达Providence。

　　7．Which of the following is the CORRECT order to describe the author’s actions?

　　a．She rented a van with some strangers.

　　b．She reached Providence.

　　c．She tried to find a flight out of Charlotte.

　　d．She got off the plane from Miami.

　　e．She went to Washington.

　　A．d→a→c→e→b

　　B．c→d→a→e→b

　　C．e→c→a→b→d

　　D．d→c→a→e→b

　　8．What is the author’s attitude towards the service of the airline?
