A

An Air France plane carrying 228 people from Brazil to France has disappeared over the Atlantic after flying into turbulence (海洋、风等的狂暴), airline officials say. The Airbus sent an automatic message at 0214 GMT, four hours after leaving Rio de Janeiro (里约热内卢), reporting a short circuit. It may have been damaged by lightning.
It was well over the ocean when it was lost, making Brazilian and French search planes' task more difficult.
France's president said the chances of finding survivors were “very small”．
“It_is_a_catastrophe_the_likes_of_which_Air_France_has_never_seen，” Nicolas Sarkozy said after meeting relatives and friends of passengers at a crisis centre at Charles de Gaulle airport.
Earlier, Air France chief executive Pierre­Henri Gourgeon told reporters, “We are without a doubt faced with an air disaster.”
He added, “The entire company is thinking of the families and shares their pain.”
Flight AF 447 left Rio at 19：00 local time (22：00 GMT) on Sunday. It had 216 passengers and 12 crew on board, including three pilots. The passengers included one infant (婴儿), seven children, 82 women and 126 men.
Air France confirmed that there had been 61 French and 58 Brazilians on board.
Among the other passengers were 26 Germans, nine Chinese, nine Italians, six Swiss, five Britons, five Lebanese, four Hungarians, three Irish, three Norwegians and three Slovaks.
1．The plane ________.
A. is a Brazil plane

2．The following statements are wrong EXCEPT that ________.
A. the plane was damaged by lightning
B. survivors were likely to be found
C. 228 people on board were all passengers
D. Air France are faced with an air disaster
答案与解析　D　文章第一段最终一句说“可能被闪电击中”，但不肯定，A项错误；第三段内容与B项相悖；第七段提到有216名乘客，与C项不符。D项可在第五段找到依据。
3．What does the underlined sentence “It is a catastrophe the likes of which Air France has never seen.” mean?
A. Air France wasn't surprised at such air crash.
B. Air France had ever met with such a serious air disaster.
C. The air crash was a serious air disaster that Air France had never met with.
D. Although Air France had ever met with several air crashes, it didn't see such serious one.
答案与解析　C　由于生词“catastrophe”的消灭使得本题难度较大。依据后半句“the likes of which Air France has never seen”法国航空公司还没有见到过这样的情形可推知C项正确。

A. Air France are concerned about the relatives of the passengers
B. all the passengers were from France and Brazil

B

You either have it or you don't — a sense of direction, that is. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we're all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don't use it, we lose it.
“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around，” says Jim Martland, research director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”
Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions：
·If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.
·If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.
·Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower, blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.
Now you never get lost again!
6．Scientists believe that ________.
A. some babies are born with a sense of direction
B. people learn a sense of direction as they grow older
C. people never lose their sense of direction
D. everybody possesses a sense of direction from birth
答案与解析　D　由其次段第一句话“Scientists say we're all born with a sense of direction ...”可知答案。
7．What is TRUE of seven­year­old children according to the passage?
A. They never have a sense of direction without maps.
B. They should never be allowed out alone if they lack a sense of direction.
C. They have a sense of direction and can find their way around.
D. They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car.
答案与解析　C　由第三段中的“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around ...”可得知7岁的孩子有力量找到路，已经有了方向感。
8．If you leave your bike in a strange place, you should ________.
A. tie it to a tree so as to prevent it from being stolen
B. draw a map of the route to help remember where it is
C. avoid taking the same route when you come back to it
D. remember something easily recognizable on the route
答案与解析　D　由其次条建议可知。
9．According to the passage the best way around is to ________.
A. ask policemen for directions
B. use walls, streams, and streets to guide yourself
C. remember your route by looking out for steps and stairs
D. count the number of landmarks that you see
