She says she imagines the plane plunging to the ground because the engines may fall off. So every few minutes she glances out the window to make sure they re still attached.It is a fear that has gripped her for 18 years, since her wedding day. Since then she has tried drugs and cocktails to make it through flights. But, she says they ve been no help in easing her anxiety.She has dragged her family on the train from Connecticut to Florida, insisted on long drives and tried to avoid flying at all costs. Even when friends fly, Edmonds says she worries, counting the hours till they arrive at their destination.It s been three years since Edmonds has stepped on a plane.Yet here she is now, 20,000 feet above the ground onboard a turbo-prop thats a route from New York, LaGuardia Airport to Baltimore-Washington International Airport in Maryland. She is hoping this is the flight that will overcome her fear.“I feel the seat. I feel the seat against my arm. I feel my hands，” recites Edmonds, her eyes still closed.She is attempting to change her mind, one of several so-called “ strengthening exercises she recently learned from a video course designed to overcome fear of flying. The idea is to focus on the moment, rather than the abstract. Former Pan Am and United pilot Tom Bunn is president of the company that produced the videos and that instructs passengers in the basic mechanics of flying and teaches them to control their thoughts.Before boarding the U. S. Airways flight, Edmonds presents a letter from Bunn to the flight attendant asking to speak with the captain. The pilot gladly obliges, telling her he s been flying for more than two decades and assuring her，You re going to be fine. We re going to take good care of you.When the flight attendant offers drinks, Edmonds places her cup of water on the tray table and studies it, tangible evidence that the plane is barely shaking.“ Ladies and gentlemen, we are approaching Baltimore，” announces the flight attendant.Edmond is relying heavily on Bunn s coping strategies during the 90-minute flight. But she s coping.As the wheels touch down, Edmonds face lights up.1. Laura Edmonds has a fear of flying because_.A. she once experienced a mechanical failureB. a mechanical failure often appears in her mindC. she is good at imagining a terrible situationD. air crashes often happen in her hometown答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节题。由第二段 “It s not the threat of terrorism that worries her，but rather the possibility of mechanical failure. She says she imagines the plane plunging to the ground because the engines may fall off.” 可知，Laura Edmonds害怕乘飞机是因为她总是担心机器出故障，故答案为B。2. The underlined word grip in the third paragraph means_.A. seized firmlyB. hurt seriouslyC. cheated simplyD. treated carefully答案解析：答案为A。本题为词义猜测题。由第三段 “It is a fear that has gripped her for 18 years, since her wedding day. Since then she has tried drugs and cocktails to make it through flights. But, she says they ve been no help in easing her anxiety.” 可知，自从她结婚后，坐飞机的时候就喝药和鸡尾酒，但是这些对于缓解她的焦虑感没有作用，可以推断，18年以来，恐惧总是缠绕着她，因此“grip”的意思是“seized firmly”意为“紧紧抓住”。故答案为A。3. From this passage it can be inferred that_.A. every seat in planes is equipped with videoB. passengers on board always feel nervousC. nervous passengers can get comfort from airlinesD. travel by train is safer than travel by plane答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。第八、九段写到美国飞行员Tom Bunn生产了帮助乘客克服飞行恐惧的光碟，教乘客如何控制恐惧思想，第十段中 “The pilot gladly obliges, telling her he s been flying for more than two decades and assuring her，You re going to be fine. We re going to take good care of you.” 乘务员温馨的话语体现了他们对心理紧张的乘客的安慰，故C选项符合题意。A、B选项未提。由第四段 “She has dragged her family on the train from Connecticut to Florida, insisted on long drives and tried to avoid flying at all costs.”可知，Laura Edmonds拽着家人乘坐火车，而不乘坐飞机是因为她内心害怕坐飞机， 无法推断出火车比飞机更安全的结论，故D选项错误。4. Laurn s overcoming the fear of flying is mostly owed to_.A. airline s comfortB. her counting the hours on boardC. a letter from BunnD. her defeating herself答案解析：答案为D。本题为推理题。由最后两段可知，Laurn在90分钟的飞行中依靠Tom Bunn生产的光碟，模仿光碟中教乘客克服恐惧的策略，文中用了 “But she s coping.”，作者认为她只是在模仿，真正克服飞行恐惧的是她依靠自己的意志力打败了自己，故答案为D。时闻型阅读理解Scientists have not found any signs of life on Mars yet, but they say a robotic vehicle called “Curiosity” is helping them learn a lot about the planets history and climate.Curiosity landed on Mars in August 2020 after travelling through space for more than eight months. It was sent to Mars by scientists from NASA in the United States.Curiosity is about the size of a car and has six wheels. It also has a robotic arm, cameras, and instruments that allow it to examine things it finds on the surface. Then it sends the information back to the earth.Curiositys main task is to find out if anything could live on Mars, either now or in the past. On Nov. 2, NASA scientists held a press conference (新闻发布会) to discuss what Curiosity had found in its first two months on Mars.Curiosity has found soil that is similar to the sand formed by volcanoes (火山) on the earth. Scientists say that studying the minerals in Martian soil will help them understand what conditions were like on the planet in the past. Curiosity also found smooth stones like the ones found on river beds and seashores on the earth, where their rough edges have been worn down by water. Mars is very cold and dry now, but scientists say the smooth stones tell them that a river used to run through the place where they were found.Curiosity has been testing the atmosphere around Mars for a type of gas called methane (甲烷), but so far it has not found any. On the earth, most methane is produ
