15.The British"Daily Telegraph"
Traditionally regarded as one of the safest planes in the skies,the Boeing 777's reputation will have been damaged by the second fatal crash in less than a year.There are around 1,000Boeing 777s in service,and the plane is a long distance machine,travelling some of the longest routes.It entered service in 1995and the National Transportation Safety Board,which is responsible for monitoring US-made aircraft,has recorded fewer than 60incidents.
But the recent record hasn't been exact with two major incidents-a crash at San Francisco airport last July,which causes three lives,and the crash-landing of a British Airways 777at Heathrow in January 2008.
To our sadness,two days ago,Malaysia Airlines Flight 370lost contact flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.The Malaysian disaster is very different from both the BA incident and the crash involving an Asian Airlines flights at San Francisco International Airport in July,which occurred shortly before landing,while the Malaysia airlines plane disappeared off the radar(雷達)during the early stages of the trip.
The accident at San Francisco in July was due to pilot error which led to the engines being set to idle because he believed the computer would maintain sufficient speed to keep the plane up in the air.The BA crash landing,which did not result in any deaths,was finally found to have been caused by a block in the fuel line feeding the engine.
However,the Malaysia airlines plane disappeared off the radar during the early stages of the trip.No exact explanations have been given for the Malaysia airlines plane crash.First reports suggest that Zaharie Ahmad Shah,the 53-year-old Malaysian airlines pilot,was hugely experienced-having joined the carrier in 1981and with 18,365hours in the aircraft under his belt.

A.There are four plane crashes mentioned in the passage
B.The BA incident in July resulted from the pilot error
C.Three deaths were caused in the crash at San Francisco

B.Flight 370crash must be similar to the BA incident
C.The experienced pilot of Flight 370can't have operated wrong
D.Flight 370must have been taken control of to a different place
27.What you read isD.
A.a(chǎn) note B.a(chǎn) schedule C.a(chǎn) review D.a(chǎn) news report
28.The main purpose of the passage is toA.
A.introduce the Flight 370crash
B.show Boeing 777's safety
C.guess the cause of the Flight 370crash
D.compare the causes of these plane crashes.
分析 本文主要介紹了近來波音飛機發(fā)生的一些事故,尤其是重點介紹了馬航370的失聯(lián).
解答 25-28CADA
25.C 考查細節(jié)理解 根據(jù)第二段中But the recent record hasn't been exact with two major incidents-a crash at San Francisco airport last July,which causes three lives一句可知事故造成三人死亡.可知選項C正確.
26.A 考查推理判斷 根據(jù)最后一段No exact explanations have been given for the Malaysia airlines plane crash.一句,可知答370的失聯(lián)仍是一個謎.故案選A.
27. D 考查推理判斷 根據(jù)標題The British"Daily Telegraph"及文章的時效性可知答案D正確.
28.A 考查主旨大意題 通讀全文可知,本文主要介紹了近來波音飛機發(fā)生的一些事故,尤其是重點介紹了370的失聯(lián).故答案A正確.
點評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎上的邏輯推理能力,要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關系,對未說明的趨勢或結局作出合理的推斷;或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點理論,對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋.考生首先要仔細閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準確把握作者觀點.
