解 析：1.D. 分析: 借助常识可以直接排除A(只记住行政主管的需要)和B(在损害行政主管利益的情况下满足低票价乘客的需要), 利用题干中出现的修饰词essential作为答案线索，这样找到答案相关句：（第2段）Operating a major（较大的；主要的） airline is essentially （本质上， essential的副词形式）a matter （事情，问题）of finding the right mix （组合）of passengers. 该句说“经营以家较大的航空公司从本质上说就是找到合适的乘客组合的问题” 。接下来的句子说“ The airlines need to fill up （填满）the back of their wide-bodied （宽机身的）jets with low fare passengers, without forgetting（忘记） that the front end should be filled with （装满了..）people who pay substantially (充分地) more for their tickets（航空公司应该在机身宽的飞机的尾部装满购买低价票的乘客,同时别忘了让支付了更高票价的乘客坐在飞机的前端）”. 该句暗示要满足各种乘客的需要.
2. A。 分析: 利用问题句中反映细节信息的短语结构have a hard time作为答案线索，这样找到答案相关句：
（第3段）But low fares require （要求）consistently（一直） full aircraft to make flights economically （经济地）viable（可行的）, and in the recent recession（萧条） （与have a hard time呼应）the volume（量） of traffic（交通） has not grown.该句说“在最近的萧条期间，载客量没有增加” ， 因此判断“乘客量没有增加”是造成航空空司经营困难的一个原因。
Equally the large number of airlines jostling for（为..而竞争） the available （可得到的）passengers has created a huge excess(过剩) of capacity(容量).
该句说“航空公司对乘客的争抢造成了大量容量的过剩”。
The net（最终的） result of excess capacity （运载量过剩）and cut-throat（激烈的） competition driving down （压低）fares had been to push（逼迫） some airlines into collapse （倒闭）and leave many others hovering（盘旋） on the brink（在边缘上）. 该句说“运载量的过剩和降低票价的残酷竞争逼迫一些航空公司倒闭了，而使其他更多的航空公司盘旋在濒临倒闭的边缘”， 该句与C 和D 都呼应，只有A没有提到，因此A 是答案。
3．C． 分析：利用问题句中的核心词（improvements）作为答案线索，因为被选项涉及到具体细节信息，所以还可以利用被选项中的细节信息词作为答案线索（A: more comfortable seats; B: better food; C: more movies; D: sleeperettes）, 这样在文章中找到答案相关句：
（第5段）High on the list of priorities is punctuality; an executive’s time is money. In-flight service is another area where the airlines are jostling for the executive’s attention. The free（免费的） drinks and headsets（耳机） and better food are all part of the lure（吸引（手段））.
该下一句的内容（another development）提示了“提供免费的饮料， 耳机和更好的食物是航空公司作出的一些改进工作”
（第6段）Another development has been the accent（重视） of seating arrangements. Regular travelers have become well versed in the debate about seat pitch– the amount of room between each passenger. And first-class passengers are now offered（提供） sleeperettes, which, for long journeys, make it possible to snatch（获得） a proper （适当的, 正确的） night’s sleep
该段段首句说“另一个改进在于对座位安排的重视”， 该句暗示前面所提到的“提供更好的食物”也是航空公司工作改进的一部份内容， 因此排除B。该段后面部分的划线句说“航空公司给头等舱的乘客提供可卧座位， 可卧座位很受欢迎”， 因此判断“可卧座位”和“使作为舒适”也是航空公司工作改进的内容， 因此排除A和D. 接下来的段落在内容上涉及到“地面服务（（第7段段首句）The airlines are also trying to improve things on the ground）”， 所以答案相关句就应该出自第5段和第6段， 这两个段落中唯有“电影”这方面的信息没有提到，所以C 是答案。
4．C． 分析：问题问“在...方面航空公司无法做更多的工作?”这个问题涉及到的内容恰巧和上一问题涉及到的内容形成对比,因此判断该问题的答案相关据应该顺着上一题的答案位置查找, 同时利用被选项中涉及到的具体细节信息结构座位答案线索(A: departure; B: handling of luggage; C: customs procedure; D: waiting lounges) , 这样在文章中找到答案相关句：
（第7段）The airlines are also trying to improve things on the ground. Executive lounges （执行休息室）are commonplace（平常的） and intended to （致力于...）make the inevitable （不可避免的）waiting between flights a little more bearable（可以忍受的）. Luggage handling is being improved. Regrettably(遗憾地), there is little the airlines can do to speed up the boring(令人厌烦的) immigration(移民入境) and customs （通关）process, which manages to upset(使心烦) and frustrate(使沮丧) passengers of all classes in every continent.
该段中提到“作为改进内容之一的乘客休息室已经是随处可见，行李业务也得到了改进，但是各个航空公司还是几乎无法做到加速移民入境和通关”， 因此判断C 是答案。
5．C． 分析：问题句中出现了反映细节信息的结构“a bad habit of the executive passengers”， 利用这个结构作为答案线索，这样找到答案相关句：
（最后一段）Although it is the airlines’ intention to attract executive passengers from their rivals, the airlines themselves would nonetheless（虽然如此） like to change one bad habit of this kind of traveler – the expensive（代价很高的） habit of booking（预定） a flight（航班） and then failing to（没有） turn up(出现，卷起).
该段中的答案相关据明确地说明了乘客的坏习惯：预定了航班却不乘坐。 所以C（他们不乘坐已经预定好的航班）是答案。

Broken: Dreams of Rural Peace
It was dusk in Tubney, deep in rural Oxfordshire. The birds were singing at the end of another perfect day. The woman living at the edge of the forest could stand it no longer. She phoned the local noise pollution officer.
"It's rooks(秃鼻乌鸦)," she said. "I can't bear that awful cawing(呱呱地叫) noise. Can you do something about it?"
the call was no surprise to officials at the vale of white horse district council. __1__. The countryside, as every country-dweller knows, can be a hellishly (可怕地) noisy place.
Last week David Stead, a west Yorkshire farmer, appeared in court in Wakefield accused of allowing his cocks to break noise regulations by crowing (打鸣) at dawn, waking a neighbor. __2__. Six moths ago Corky, a four-year-old cock, was banned from crowing after complaints in the Devon village of Stoke.
Complaints about noise reasonable or not -- are at record levels in country areas. Environmental health officers say this is partly because of an increase in noisy activity. However, a significant number of complaints come from newcomers to the countryside.
There are many officers of rural noise. __3__. Mechanized grain dryers, usually switched on for three weeks in September, can produce a maddening low-frequency hum. Mike Roberts, chief environmental health officer at vale of white horse, said noise often sounded worse in the countryside than in cities. With less background sound, unwelcome noises can seem louder and travel faster.
The oddest complaints, however, are the ones council officials can do nothing about. Vale of white horse officials have been asked to silence not only nesting rooks. Pigeons and pheasants (雏鸡)have also caused concern. In Kent, council officials have been asked to silence baby lambs. __4__. Another insisted he could hear an alien spaceship landing over the garden fence.
"We get regular complaints. They usually come from retired people who have just moved into the country. We send them a polite letter."
And the lady who complained about the rooks? She was politely told she would have to put up with it. "__5__."said Mr. Roberts. "In the end, she accepted there was nothing much she could do --except move out." It is not recorded who won, the lady or the rooks.
A. Mr. Stead said they were only doing what comes naturally.
B. We asked her what we were supposed to do, shoot the birds, or chop the tress down?
C. They have heard every kind of complaint.
D. One man rang to say he was kept awake by the splashing of a fountain in the garden next door.
E. The council will ask the farmer to move it.
F. Farm machinery is a common cause.
1、 A B C D E F
2、 A B C D E F
3、 A B C D E F
4、 A B C D E F
5、 A B C D E F
你的答案： 标准答案：C,A,F,D,B
本题分数： 10.00 分，你答题的情况为 错误 所以你的得分为 .00 分
解 析：
1．C．根据空格前后句句意的逻辑关系（空格后句是表示结果的句子，因此空格前的句子可能表示原因或进行解释）判断C合适。
2．A．被选项A中的Mr. Stead与空格前句中的Mr. Stead呼应。而A中的代词they应对空格前句中的复数名词 cooks，从句意上看来A也合理。
3．F．空格后句提到了机器（烘干机），只有F才提到了机器。从句意上看空格句是总结，概括句，正好与空格后所举的例子的结构相呼应。
4．D．空格后句中的Another暗示该句前面一定有 One的结构，所以从搭配结构上看D合适。
5．B．B中的birds与空格前句中的名词 rooks相呼应；而E中的farmer在空格前句中并没有被提到。

三、简答题:
22、 Making yourself a good record
If you are an American and you think you might need to borrow money someday， the best thing to do is start early.
That’s because just as many employers want to hire only people with experience, banks and other creditors are usually reluctant to lend to those __1__ a proven track record of paying back, __2__ time, the money they have borrowed.
But if you need experience just to get a start, how do you get that start in the first place?
With a little help from your parents usually, while you are still financially dependent __3__ them. It is easy to get a credit card or student loan when you are in college, because banks figure your parents will bail you out if you fail to pay.
So just as students take on internships to build up their resumes, one’s university time can be a good time to work on another important personal record: the credit __4__.
Credit reports are a __5__ of one’s personal credit history, gathered by a credit reporting agency, or CRA.
Banks, and companies - __6__ hospitals, landlords and insurance companies – regularly report to the three main CRAs in the US __7__ how their customers are doing at paying back the money they __8__.
Anyone with a “legitimate business need” has the right to order individuals’ reports from the CRAs. Potential creditors usually compile the information in the reports into a credit “score”, ranking the level of creditworthiness. Lack of experience in borrowing in __9__ to a bad record of doing so, can result in a low score.
Even if you are not considering taking out a loan for such a large purchase as a home or car, your credit report can be important to getting through life. Landlords often ask for the reports to judge __10__ a person can be trusted to pay the rent. Credit checks are necessary for getting a credit card, even for purchasing a mobile phone calling plan.
People can obtain a copy of their own credit report, usually __11__ a cost of around US$8-9. Some consumer organizations recommend doing this once a year to allow one to catch any mistakes __12__ have slipped into the records or, even worse, to find out whether any fraud has taken place. Though the system is controlled by laws __13__ to protect people’s privacy, it isn’t fool-proof: Sometimes people take out bad loads in others’ names, __14__ their records.
In a society addicted __15__ credit, that can be a disaster.

14. A. building up B. updating C. improving D. ruining
15. A. on B. to C. by D. with
你的答案： 标准答案：1. B. 分析: 被选项A和B有关系, 所以重点注意. 空格所在的局部结构说“other creditors are usually reluctant to lend to those __1__ a proven track record of paying back（其他的债券人通常不愿意把钱借给那些...有偿还记录的人）”, 因此判断B(没有)是答案.
