Asleep on a plane: a case for window seats

I love tosleep on planes, and I have an unusual ability to sleep well on them. There have even been one or two occasions 【1】 I have fallen asleep before takeoff and awakened upon the impact of landing, not having realized we had even left the ground. So when 【2】 (book) my flights, I always choose the window seat whenever possible. This allows me to lean my sleepy headagainst the wall of the plane for a bit 【3】 (much) comfort.

Some 【4】 argue that the aisle（走廊）seat is superior for the leg space and the ability to get off swiftly and eye the snack cart. But in reality, we’re all getting our drinks and snacks 【5】 few seconds. Also, I find that if a person knows he’s in a window seat, he’ll choose to use the bathroom before boarding so that he 【6】 (not need) to disturb his neighbor, which is just considerate. And he’ll seize the opportunity to get up when another seatmate gets up so that the seatmate needn’t 【7】(bother) more than once.

As a photographer and visually oriented person, the window seat gives me the best views of cottony clouds, or a great sunset, or golden sunrise, etc. Most of all, 【8】 I’ve been flying for years, I still get pleasure of seeing my departing city or country 【9】 (shrink) into the distance,and the butterflies in my stomach when I see the horizon of my destination come into view.

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文，講述了作者乘坐飛機(jī)時總是盡可能選擇靠窗的座位及其原因。

【1】考查定語從句。句意：有那么一兩次，我在起飛前睡著了，在著陸的沖擊中醒來，卻沒有意識到我們已經(jīng)離開了地面。此處為定語從句，關(guān)系詞指代先行詞occasions并在從句中作時間狀語，故填when。

【2】考查狀語從句的省略。句意：所以在訂機(jī)票時，我總是盡可能選擇靠窗的座位。在when引導(dǎo)的時間狀語從句中，當(dāng)從句主語和主句主語一致且含有be的某種形式時，可省略從句的主語和be，I與book之間是主動關(guān)系，故填booking。

【3】考查形容詞比較級。句意：這讓我可以把昏昏欲睡的腦袋靠在飛機(jī)的艙壁上，稍微舒服一點。A bit修飾形容詞比較級，故填more。

【4】考查情態(tài)動詞。句意：有些人可能會說，靠過道的座位更好，放腿的空間更大，可以迅速下飛機(jī)，還可以看到零食車�？蘸笫莿釉~原形，所以此處填情態(tài)動詞，根據(jù)句意可知此處表示“可能”，故填can/ may。

【5】考查固定表達(dá)。句意：但事實上，我們每隔幾秒鐘都會得到飲料和零食。every few seconds表示“每隔幾秒鐘”，故填every。

【6】考查時態(tài)。句意：我發(fā)現(xiàn)如果一個人知道他坐在靠窗的座位上，他會在登機(jī)前選擇上廁所，這樣他就不必打擾鄰座了。need to do的否定形式是在need前加don’t，陳述的是客觀事實，用一般現(xiàn)在時，主語是he，謂語動詞用第三人稱單數(shù)形式，故填doesn’t need。

【7】考查被動語態(tài)。句意：當(dāng)另一個鄰座人站起來時，他會抓住機(jī)會站起來，這樣鄰座人就不必被打擾多次了。seatmate與bother之間是被動關(guān)系，應(yīng)該用被動語態(tài)，情態(tài)動詞needn’t后用動詞原形，故填be bothered。

【8】考查讓步狀語從句。句意：即使我已經(jīng)坐了很多年的飛機(jī)，看到我即將離開的城市或國家漸漸遠(yuǎn)去，我還是會感到很快樂。根據(jù)句意可知前后是讓步關(guān)系，此處表示“即使”，故填even if。

【9】考查非謂語動詞。句意同上，see sb doing表示“看見某人正在做某事”，故填shrinking。

【10】考查表語從句。句意：那些冒險和興奮的感覺讓我一次又一次地回到靠窗的座位上。此處為表語從句，從句中缺少主語，故填what。
