The biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference. The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic device such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.

RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation (航空) industry, has recommended that all airlines ban such devices from being used during “critical” stages of flight, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.

The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft’s computers. Experts know that portable device emit radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.

The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who can’t hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music’s too loud.

1.The passage is mainly about _____.

A.a new regulation for an airlines

B.the drawbacks of electronic devices

C.a possible cause of aircraft incidents

D.effective safety measures for air flight

2.What is said about the over 100 aircraft incidents in the past 15 years?

A.They may have been caused by the damage to the radio systems.

B.They may have taken place during take-off and landing.

C.They were proved to have been caused by the passengers’ portable computers.

D.They were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic interference.

3.Few airlines want to impose a total ban on their passengers using electronic devices because ______.

A.they don’t believe there is such a danger as radio interference

B.the harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be proved

C.most passengers refuse to take a plane which bans the use of radio and cassette players

D.they have other effective safety measures to fall back on

4.It can be inferred from the passage that the author _____.

A.hasn’t expressed his own opinion on this problem

B.has overestimated the danger of electromagnetic interference

C.is in favor of prohibiting passengers’ use of electronic devices completely

D.regards it as unreasonable to exercise a total ban during flight

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

A young man was slapped in the face until he bled because he didn’t offer his seat to a woman with a baby on a bus in downtown Hangzhou. Later he was proved to be a disabled person.

In a series of cases nationwide, we see people being beaten for refusing to give up their seats on public transport, which seems to be a moral problem about correct behavior and self-sacrifice.

People with morals (who don’t give up their seats to deserving people) can be condemned, but they don’t deserve to be treated with violence because they offend moral values and not laws. In comparison, the attackers behave worse.

The attackers regard relying on violence as their only choice if people ignore their appeals to give up their seats. It seems they start a shout or a fight for the sake of justice, but can they still think of their personal intention when they call violence justice?

This “violent justice” can confuse many people and encourage them to do the same, especially when we are overpowered by illogical mood.

If cruel and rude acts are rooted in children’s hearts, society will never step into civilization. The practice violates common values, neither solving problems nor safeguarding civilized society.
