Question

Statistically, air travel is by far the safest way to travel, and you can make flying even safer, just by following these simple rules. As your chances of being involved in an air accident are practically nil (零), many of these tips concern what you should and shouldn't do to make your journey safer when you are airborne (升空的).

Fly on non-stop routes

? Most accidents occur during the takeoff, climb, descent and landing phases of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complex procedures.

Choose larger aircraft.

? Although small aircraft have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply (遵守) with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply. Also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircraft provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.

Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefing

? The information may seem repetitious , but it's worth listening to the flight attendants. And even if you've flown before, it doesn't mean you know everything about the aircraft you're on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit.

Store things safely

? Never put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins. They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury. Also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence (氣流).

Keep our seat belt fastened while you are seated

? Cabin crew always tell you this, but it's important. You would be seriously injured if the plane hits unexpected turbulence. Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to. The general rule of flying is this: If you are told to do something, do it first and ask questions later.

Let the flight attendant pour your hot drinks

? Flight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded aisle on a moving aircraft, so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you. Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them.

試題分析：文章主要介紹了在乘飛機(jī)時(shí)的一些注意事項(xiàng)和安全貼士。統(tǒng)計(jì)顯示，乘飛機(jī)是目前最安全的出行方式。遵守以下簡(jiǎn)單的規(guī)則會(huì)讓飛行更安全。

1.根據(jù)“and you can make flying even safer ...to make your journey safer”可知，介紹這些安全提示是為了讓飛行變得更安全，故選C。

2.根據(jù)“Choose larger aircraft. ...Although small aircraft have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats...”可知，本段講的是較大型飛機(jī)，由此可見，those指的是能容納30個(gè)乘客的較大型飛機(jī)，故選C。

3.根據(jù)“If you are told to do something, do it first and ask questions later.”可知，總的規(guī)則就是，按照飛機(jī)乘務(wù)員說的去做，故選A。

4.根據(jù)“Most accidents occur during the takeoff, climb, descent and landing phases of a flight...”可知，大多數(shù)事故發(fā)生在起飛、爬坡、下降和著陸階段，起飛并不比著陸安全，故選B。

5.根據(jù)“and you can make flying even safer, just by following these simple rules. ...many of these tips concern what you should and shouldn't do to make your journey safer when you are airborne (升空的).”可知，文章主要講的是乘坐飛機(jī)時(shí)的一些注意事項(xiàng)，故選B。
