11、r the United States, which were becoming quite congested.(分数:1.00)填空项 1:_ (正确答案:ii)解析:解析 第一段的首句比较容易理解,由于一场空难导致了 FAA的设立。10 个标题中提到了FAA,ii 提到了 aviation disaster(空难),其他的都与 A段无关,因此答案肯定在两者之间。i 中的disobeying完全是与 A段无关甚至背道而驰的,所以 i肯定只是干扰项。而 ii的意思与 A段吻合。(2).In the 1940s, ATC centres could and did take advantage
12、 of the newly developed radar and improved radio communication brought about by the Second World War It was only after the creation of the FAA that full-scale regulation of Americas airspace took place, and this was fortuitous, for the advent of the jet engine suddenly resulted in a large number of
13、very fast planes.(分数:1.00)填空项 1:_ (正确答案:iii)解析:解析 这道题目解题的关键在于对标题中 coincidental的理解,意为“巧合”,如果认识的话,即可比较容易地找到答案。如果不认识,则把这个词忽略(因为它是一个形容词),选项 iii就成了 Two developments,我们通过对 C段第一句话的阅读就可以找到 the newly developed radar;和 improved radio communication,其中的 deveolped和 improved与标题 iii是一致的。(3).Many people think that.
14、 This is a very incomplete part of the picture.(分数:1.00)填空项 1:_ (正确答案:v)解析:解析 D 段第一句 Many people think that很显然是一个观点,第二句就说这个观点是一个Very incomplete part,很显然与答案中的 an oversimplified view是一致的,如果不认识oversimplified,可以将其拆开成 over-simpli-fied,over 是“过于”,simpli 即 simple表示“简单”。-fied 表示“化的”,合起来就是“过于简单化的”。(4).In gen
15、eral, from 365m above the ground and higher, the entire country is blanketed by controlled airspace. In certain areas, mainly near airports, controlled airspace extends down to 215m above the ground, and, in the immediate vicinity of an airport, all the way down to the surface.(分数:1.00)填空项 1:_ (正确答案
16、:iv)解析:解析 E 段出现了很多高度的数字,很容易理解是将航空控制区域进行了划分,标题 iv的setting altitude zones恰好是设置高度分区。如果不认识 altitude这个单词,可将其省略,标题 iv即成为了 setting zones,也不妨碍考生将其从列表中选出。(5).The FAA then recognised two types of operating environments. In good meteorological conditions, .Poor visibility . On a clear day, .(分数:1.00)填空项 1:_ (正
17、确答案:viii)解析:解析 F 段出现了大量与天气相关的信息,如 environments, meteorological, visibility, clear day等,只要认识其中任何一个,就能将其与标题 viii中的 weather相对应。(6).Controlled airspace is divided into several different types, designated by letters of the alphabet.(分数:1.00)填空项 1:_ (正确答案:vii)解析:解析 G 段的第一句话明确了本段的内容,就是用字母将空中管制区域进行分类,所以答案也很
18、容易被选出。即使没有定位到第一句,遍布整个 G段都是 Class A,Class B 一直到 Class F等不同的航空管理分区,很容易选出正确答案。四、Questions 20-26(总题数:7,分数:7.00)1.The FAA was created as a result of the introduction of the jet engine.(分数:1.00)填空项 1:_ (正确答案:FALSE)解析:解析 题目的叙述明显与原文相悖,FAA 发明的原因在原文中非常明确地被归咎为空难,而题目却扯出完全不相干的 jet engine,显然是 FALSE。2.Air Traffic
19、Control started after the Grand Canyon crash in 1956.(分数:1.00)填空项 1:_ (正确答案:FALSE)解析:解析 题目的叙述明显与原文相悖,原文是说 ATC在 Grand Canyon空难之前就有,而题目说在Grand Canyon空难之后才开始,显然是 FALSE。3.Beacons and flashing lights are still used by ATC today.(分数:1.00)填空项 1:_ (正确答案:NOT GIVEN)解析:解析 题目中说信号灯和闪光灯标在今天仍然被使用,在晚上坐过飞机的人都知道这是事实。
20、但是原文中只提到了信号灯和闪光灯标在 20世纪 20年代被用于航空交通控制,至于今天有没有,文章里没说。虽然题目中的陈述是事实,但是在文中却找不到依据。这是典型的“原文以外的常识”型的 NOT GIVEN。4.Some improvements were made in radio communication during World War .(分数:1.00)填空项 1:_ (正确答案:TURE)解析:解析 通过关键词 world War 定位到原文,很容易找到原文和题目的 radio communication的前边都有 improve的表述,判断为 TURE。5.Class F air
21、space is airspace which is below 365m and not near airports.(分数:1.00)填空项 1:_ (正确答案:TURE)解析:解析 这道题目是这篇阅读最难的一道题目,因为答对这道题目需要同时在两处定位,还需要进行一次推理。第一处原文定位是用题目中的关键词 365m定位的 E段,文章说 365米以上的领空受到航空管制,后边接着说机场周围的领空也受到航空管制,这就意味着 365米以下的非机场周围领空是不受控制的。第二处原文定位使用题目中的 Class F定位的 G段,原文说不受控制的领空被定义为 F级。将两处原文的意思结合起来正好是题目说的:
22、F 级领空指的是在 365米以下且远离机场的领空。6.All aircraft in Class E airspace must use IFR.(分数:1.00)填空项 1:_ (正确答案:FALSE)解析:解析 只要一看到题目中出现 all和 must这类词,就要提高警惕,这种题目的答案往往是不正确的。通过题目中的两个关键词 Class E和 IFR可以轻松定位到原文中,原文中说的是 A级领空中所有的操作都遵循 IFR,不是 E级,题目属于张冠李戴,答案为 FALSE。7.A pilot entering Class C airspace is flying over an average-sized city.(分数:1.00)填空项 1:_ (正确答案:TURE)解析:解析 题目中的 class C和 average-sized city可以帮助我们定位到原文,原文分别描述了 D级、C级和 B级对应的城市大小,将 C级对应的中型城市挑出来就可以了。
