9.Almost  everyone  has  experienced  moments  of  fear  while  flying.It's one of modern civilization's most common problems,claiming one of every six people.Some say it's an  apples-and-oranges comparison-but per mile,air travel is considerably safer than automobile  travel.In fact,a recent US National Safety Council  study shows flying to be 22times  safer than traveling by car.
Still,fear of  flying is a very real problem that can cause more than just unreasonable  feelings  of  fright.At worst,nervous fliers experience panic attacks,shortness of breath and accompanying dizziness(眩暈).However,with  mental discipline,most  sufferers can conquer their fear of flying.Here  are  some techniques  and  strategies:
Breathe deeply.Carry  note  cards  with positive words  to  help  you  stay focused.Just  a  few  words  like"Breathe…you'll be fine"can help.
Pretend you're on a bus.Just close your eyes and  imagine  you're  on a bus ride.Any turbulence(顛簸) can be  experienced  as"bumps on  the  road".
Avoid spreading your fear.Resist  the  temptation  to  have  a  conversation about your anxiety.Talking  about  it  might  encourage  others to share their bad travel experiences and that can only increase your own fear.
Take practical steps.Try to choose a seat where you'll have more room; sitting in the middle can add to claustrophobic(幽閉恐怖的)feelings.And stay cool so that your face feels refreshed.
Use prayer.Feel free to engage in prayer as a comforting way to cope with anxiety.If nothing else,it engages regions of the brain that might otherwise be absorbed in possible danger,
Knowledge is power.Arm yourself with as much knowledge as possible about security measures,traffic control,safety features and even how much goes into training a pilot.Soon you'll be flying without fear.

24.The underlined phrase"apples-and-oranges comparison"in Paragraph 1means that air travel and automobile travel areB.
A.exactly the same            
B.completely different
C.similar to each other         
D.dependent on each other
25.Which of the following can help conquer fear of flying?A
A.Learning more about air travel
B.Talking with others about the fear.
C.Keeping warm so that the mind is fresh.
D.Closing the eyes and having a good sleep.
26.If you are preparing note cards for air travel,what should appear on them?C
A.Why are you doing this?
B.Giving up is not shameful.
C.Cheer up!Everything will be OK.
D.How terrible this air travel is!Quit now!
27.The writer advises that on the plane one shouldD
A.sit wherever he likes          
B.have a seat in the back
C.choose to sit in the middle      
D.sit where there is enough room.

分析 本文介紹了很多人乘坐飛機(jī)時(shí)都會感到恐懼,然后給我們從各個(gè)方面講解如何克服飛行恐懼.

解答 24.B Apples and oranges這個(gè)習(xí)慣用語的意思是:兩個(gè)非常不同的事物,無法相比,故答案為B
25.A  根據(jù)最后一段Knowledge is power.Arm yourself with as much knowledge as possible about security measures,traffic control,safety features and even how much goes into training a pilot.Soon you'll be flying without fear.可知,多了解一下航空知識也可以有助于克服飛行恐懼,故答案為A
26.C 根據(jù)Carry note cards with positive words to help you stay focused.Just a few words like"Breathe…you'll be fine"can help.可知,應(yīng)該寫一下積極的句子,只有C選項(xiàng)符合,故答案為C
27.D 根據(jù)文章Try to choose a seat where you'll have more room可知,應(yīng)該坐在空間相對大的地方,故答案為D

點(diǎn)評 做閱讀時(shí)經(jīng)常犯錯(cuò)的主要原因是,僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案,這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱.所謂閱讀理解,對于題目的理解一定要忠實(shí)于原文,因此,每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對比與核查,再得出答案.也就是說,閱讀理解的每一道題目,在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處,我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句,(1)排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項(xiàng)(2)排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項(xiàng)  (3)排除用于過于極端或負(fù)面的選項(xiàng)(4)注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除.

17.An environmental group called the Food Commission is unhappy and disappointed because of the sales of bottled water from Japan.The water,it angrily argues in public,has traveled 10,000"food miles"before it reached Western customers.Transporting water halfway across the world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK.It is also worrying that we were wasting our fuel by buying prawns from Indonesia (7,000food miles ) and carrots from South Africa (5,900food miles).
Counting the number of miles traveled done by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of the environmental damage due to industry.Most food is transported around the world on container ships that are extremely energy efficient.It should be noticed that a ton of butter transported 25miles in a truck to a farmers'market doesn't necessarily use less fuel on its journey than a similar product transported hundreds of miles by sea.Besides,the idea of"food miles"ignores the amount of fuel used in the production.It is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana.The difference is that the British ones will have been raised in heated greenhouse and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun.
What is the idea of"food miles"does provide,however,is the chance to cut out Third World countries from First World food markets.The number of miles traveled by our food should,as I see it,be regarded as a sign of the success of the global trade system,not a sign of damage to the environment.

9.The Food Commission is angry because it thinks thatD.
A.UK wastes a lot of money importing food products
B.some imported goods causes environmental damage
C.growing certain vegetables causes environmental damage
D.people wasted energy buying food from other countries
10.The phrase"food miles"in the passage refers to the distanceA.
A.that a food product travels to a market
B.that a food product travels from one market to another
C.between UK and other food producing countries
D.between a Third World country and a First World food market
11.By comparing tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana,the author tries to explain thatC.
A.British tomatoes are healthier than Ghanaian ones
B.Ghanaian tomatoes taste better than tomatoes ones
C.cutting down food miles may not necessarily save fuel
D.protecting the environment may cost a lot of money
12.From the passage we know that the author is most probablyA.
A.a(chǎn) supporter of free global trade
B.a(chǎn) member of a Food Commission
C.a(chǎn) supporter of First World food markets
D.a(chǎn) member of an energy development group.
