Question

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

A HOLIDAY jet pilot (飛行員) said that he would land and call the police after a woman refused to stop smoking.

He warned Maureen Harkavy, “Put that cigarette out, or I’ll land the plane and have you arrested.”

Maureen, 47, was so shocked she wrote to the airline’s chairman. But his reply was even ruder.

“You seem to think you have a God-given right to pollute your neighbours’ atmosphere,” wrote John Ferriday of Paramount Airways.

(a)Said Maureen, “I only found out about it when I was checking in. I’m a nervous flyer so I lit a cigarette during the flight. A stewardess (空姐) asked me to put it out, but I said I wanted to carry on as there was no rule against smoking on the plane.” She was just finishing her cigarette when the pilot arrived.

(b) I’ve never seen such an unpleasant letter. She said, “I don’t think I’ll ever fly again.” But there was a funny side. Maureen explained, “We were offered duty-free (免稅) cigarette from the stewardess on the plane!”

(c) Mr. Ferriday went on; “Believe me, you haven’t. Especially when you travel on my planes.”

Maureen and her husband Michael were moved to Paramount flight just before they left Portugal. But they were not told of the company’ s (公司的) no smoking policy.

(d) “He was loud and rude,” said Maureen. “He said if I lit another cigarette he would land the plane at Bordeaux and hand me to the French police.”

Later, from her home in Mosely, Birmingham, Maureen wrote to the company and received the rude reply.

【3】D

【解析】

試題分析：本文屬于記敘文，介紹了一位乘客因?yàn)樵陲w機(jī)上抽煙，飛行員要求她不要抽煙，但她并沒有按照飛行員的要求去做。

【1】C 細(xì)節(jié)排序題。根據(jù)第四段“You seem to think you have a God-given right to pollute your neighbours’ atmosphere,”可知John Ferriday在批評(píng)對(duì)方污染空氣；c段是John Ferriday繼續(xù)批評(píng)對(duì)方的話；接下來a段中Maureen對(duì)自己的行為進(jìn)行辯護(hù)；d段是Maureen對(duì)John Ferriday的投訴；最后是b段Maureen explained繼續(xù)為自己抽煙的行為進(jìn)行解釋。故C項(xiàng)順序正確。

【2】C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段A HOLIDAY jet pilot (飛行員) said that he would land and call the police after a woman refused to stop smoking.可知Maureen Harkavy拒絕飛行員讓他不要抽煙的要求，并寫信進(jìn)行投訴。故C項(xiàng)正確。

【3】D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段Later, from her home in Mosely, Birmingham, Maureen wrote to the company and received the rude reply.作者認(rèn)為航空公司給的回復(fù)是很粗魯?shù)�。說明作者并不認(rèn)同該公司的做法，也就是說他支持乘客Maureen Harkavy。故D項(xiàng)正確。
