【題目】請(qǐng)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，完成信息記錄表，每空一詞。

Flying is a fast way to travel. But it is a big headache for some people. They can’t help worrying about things like “Is it dangerous if we don’t change our mobile phones to airplane mode (飛行模式)?” Here are some interesting facts about flying.

Why are plane windows round?

It’s for safety. As the airplane flies higher and higher, the atmospheric pressure (氣壓) outside gets lower and lower. During the flight, the pressure inside the plane becomes greater than the pressure outside. When this happens, square windows can break. That’s because having different pressures inside and outside putsstress on the corners of square windows. But rounded corners can spread the pressure more evenly (均勻地) across the window’s surface, making it less likely to break.

What happens when a phone isn’t in airplane mode?

Some passengers believe mobile phones and tablets(平板電腦) need to be turned off because they can bring the plane down. However, this is not true. If you don’t change your phone to airplane mode, pilots and air traffic controllers may hear unpleasant sounds in their headphones. This makes it harder for them to communicate. So it’s still best to put your devices (設(shè)備) in airplane mode.

【10】communication

【解析】

文章大意：本文介紹了關(guān)于乘飛機(jī)的有趣的事實(shí)。飛機(jī)的窗戶是圓的，它能使飛機(jī)內(nèi)部的壓力更均勻地穿過(guò)窗戶的表面，從而減少破裂的可能性。當(dāng)手機(jī)不在飛行模式時(shí)，就會(huì)干擾飛行員和空中交通管制員們之間的溝通交流。

【1】

考查動(dòng)詞。根據(jù)第一段最后1句“Here are some interesting facts about flying”，可知本文主要談?wù)撘恍╆P(guān)于飛行的有趣的事實(shí)。由空前的介詞about考慮此處填動(dòng)詞-ing形式，故答案為flying。

【2】

考查名詞。根據(jù)第三段第1句“It's for safety”，可知飛機(jī)的圓窗是為了安全。故答案為safety。

【3】

考查介詞。根據(jù)第三段第3句“During the flight, the pressure inside the plane becomes greater than the pressure outside”，可知在飛行過(guò)程中，飛機(jī)內(nèi)部的壓力比外部的壓力大。此處介詞inside表示“在……內(nèi)部”，故答案為inside。

【4】

考查介詞。根據(jù)第三段第3句“During the flight, the pressure inside the plane becomes greater than the pressure outside”，可知在飛行過(guò)程中，飛機(jī)內(nèi)部的壓力比外部的壓力大。此處介詞outside表示“在……外部”，故答案為outside。

【5】

考查動(dòng)詞。根據(jù)第三段第4句“When this happens,square windows can break”，可知當(dāng)這種情況發(fā)生時(shí)，方窗可能會(huì)破裂。由動(dòng)詞不定式作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)，考慮此處填動(dòng)詞原形形式，故答案為break。

【6】

考查動(dòng)詞。根據(jù)第五段第1句”Some passengers believe mobile phones and tablets need to be turned off because they can bring the plane down”，可知一些乘客認(rèn)為，手機(jī)和平板電腦需要關(guān)閉，因?yàn)樗鼈兛梢允癸w機(jī)墜毀。原文用短語(yǔ)bring down 表示”墜毀”之意，此處可以同義轉(zhuǎn)換為動(dòng)詞crash，故答案為crash。

【7】

考查形容詞。根據(jù)第五段第2句“However, this is not true”，可知這種情況不是真實(shí)的。故答案為true。

【8】

考查名詞。根據(jù)第五段第3句“If you don't change your phone to airplane mode, pilots and air traffic controllers may hear unpleasant sounds in their headphones”，可知如果你不把手機(jī)換成飛行模式，飛行員和空中交通管制員可能會(huì)在耳機(jī)里聽(tīng)到不愉快的聲音。此處sounds表示“響聲”，為可數(shù)名詞，考慮填復(fù)數(shù)形式，故答案為sounds。

【9】

考查名詞。根據(jù)第五段第3句“If you don't change your phone to airplane mode, pilots and air traffic controllers may hear unpleasant sounds in their headphones”，可知如果你不把手機(jī)換成飛行模式，飛行員和空中交通管制員可能會(huì)在耳機(jī)里聽(tīng)到不愉快的聲音。此處headphones表示“耳機(jī)”，為可數(shù)名詞，故答案為headphones。

【10】

考查名詞。根據(jù)第五段第4句“This makes it harder for them to communicate”，可知這使得他們更難交流。原文用動(dòng)詞不定式to communicate表示“交流”之意，此處由空前的物主代詞their可知要轉(zhuǎn)換為名詞communication，故答案為communication。
