2. D。此句意為：在作者登機之前，他看到乘客們的行李首先被用運貨車運出并運至飛機身邊，在從飛機底部的貨物進口處裝進飛機(飛機行李、貨物進口處常設(shè)在機身底部，而乘客入口處設(shè)在機身側(cè)面)。
3. B。穿著制服的三男三女走到飛機旁邊并進入(enter)飛機。
4. C。/ 5. A。乘客們聽到候機室內(nèi)的廣播通知，飛機即將起程并要求乘客走出候機室。注意：be told意為“聽到、被告知”；announce解釋為“通知某人”時，常構(gòu)成短語：announce sth to sb。
5. D。下文已有暗示：to get a seat near the tail。
6. C。乘客們快速登機的目的就是想能得到他想要的理想的座位，(一般來說，靠近飛機尾部的座位更安全)，而作者未能(unable)得到。

8. A。
9. B。該句意為：在飛機起飛之前，作者系好安全帶，并盡力忘掉自己心中的緊張。

13. B。一個空中小姐作出了與廣播中相同的要求“請系好你們的安全帶”。
14. C。add在此意為“補充說”。
15. B。不定式短語to worry about“擔心……”作定語，修飾不定代詞nothing。

17. D。飛機靠兩只機翼平衡機身，但由于飛機顛簸得太厲害，所以作者感覺到飛機好像僅靠一只機翼在平衡機身。
18. A。
19. D。動詞短語give out在此意為“分發(fā)”。而give off“發(fā)出(光、熱、氣味等)”，give up“放棄、投降”，give back“歸還”均不符句意。
20. D。不久天空變得晴朗起來，飛行員最終戰(zhàn)勝了風暴(manage to do sth)。選項A應(yīng)構(gòu)成短語succeed in doing sth 選項B, C不符句意
