Question

Everyone, please imagine, a big explosion breaks out as the plane takes us high in the sky. The plane is full of smoke and the engine sounds scary. Two minutes later, the engines are turned off. We are now sitting in a plane with no sound. And we can see: Life is over.

That really happened. In January 2009, I had a front-row seat on Flight 1549, the plane that crash-landed in the Hudson River in New York.

Now let me tell you the three things I learned when the silence came.

First, I thought about all the people I wanted to reach out to but didn’t. I thought about all the experiences I wanted to have but never did. I no longer wanted to put off anything in life. Second, I really regretted the time I wasted on things that did not matter. I decided to remove negative energy from my life. Third, I realized, wow, dying was not scary. But it was very sad just because I only wished I could have seen my kids grow up.

Fortunately, I was given the gift of a miracle of not dying that day. I was given another gift, with which I was to see into the future and come back and live differently.

About a month later, my wife and I were at a performance by my daughter, not much artistic talent. Yet, I’m crying. I realized that above all, the only goal in my life was to be a good father.

Audience, again, imagine the same thing happening on your plane. How would you change? What would you get done? And more than anything, are you being the best parent you can?

Thank you.

【解析】

試題分析：本文是一篇記敘文。作者以演講的形式敘述自己在一次飛機迫降中得以幸存，并從中學(xué)到了一些人生道理。但后來在一次觀看女兒表演中，作者有了新的領(lǐng)悟，即：人生最重要的目標(biāo)就是做一個好爸爸。

1.。本文并非以飛機事故本身作為主題，而且也沒有得出飛機事故是悲劇的結(jié)論，故選項A錯誤。作者在飛機迫降中得以幸存是事實，但不是文章主旨，因此不能做為標(biāo)題，故選項C錯誤。作者在文中提到了要做一個好爸爸，但并沒有說怎樣做，故選項D錯誤。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，從作者在飛機迫降過程中學(xué)到的人生道理以及事后觀看女兒表演有了新的感悟可知，該題正確選項是B。

2.。根據(jù)第一段“…the engines are turned off. We are now sitting in a plane with no sound. And we can see: Life is over.”可知，該題正確選項為D。

3.。從文章第三段“Now let me tell you the three things I learned when the silence came.”可知，選項A、B、C都是作者在飛機上覺得生命即將結(jié)束時學(xué)到的人生道理，并不是作者最終的人生目標(biāo)。由倒數(shù)第三段 “I realized that above all, the only goal I have in life is to be a good father.”可知，該題正確選項是D。

4.。根據(jù)文章開頭“Everyone, please imagine…”，第三段“Now let me tell you…”，倒數(shù)第二段“Audience, again, imagine the same thing…”，以及結(jié)尾處“Thank you.”可以看出，本文是以演講的形式敘述作者一次空中旅行的經(jīng)歷，故選項A正確。選項B意為“緊急迫降指南”，選項C意為“一部冒險小說的介紹”，選項D意為“飛機乘客安全培訓(xùn)”都是不正確的。
