Question

【題目】My passion started decades ago as a kid on a flight to India. I was attracted by how such a large airplane was able to glide(滑翔）smoothly above the clouds. I made it a goal to become a pilot. I am now a pilot for American airlines. Though being a pilot consumes my life，it is a job worth doing.

My job is slightly different compared to that of a typical pilot. Most pilots have their routes they fly. They then familiarize（使…熟悉）themselves with the routes. However, in my case，I participate in any job where a pilot is immediately required. It is true that some days I might have a workday from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon. In fact，some days，I might even begin my work at three in the morning when I am needed to fly. Sometimes, as for the typical day，I do not have one.

Having been on the job for over two decades，I have learned some important life lessons. As I greet passengers boarding the airplane，I realize I，along with other airline pilots, have enhanced(提高)the lives of those who we are serving. In fact, there is one particular experience that I will never forget. A family was walking in from the gate, explaining that their beloved one was ill and had to be taken to a big hospital in another city immediately. It was at this point that I realized just how important my job was.

Therefore, my life as an airline pilot is definitely not for everyone. However，my job is something I enjoy thoroughly and will continue to do till I am old enough. As a pilot, I have been able to experience so many different types of situations in different places throughout the world. For anyone interested in piloting, I would recommend going for it.

【解析】

試題解析：在作者還是一個孩子的時候，第一次坐飛機，看見碩大的飛機在云層里自由地翱翔，作者小小的心里就悄悄種下了夢想的種子，長大后一定要成為一名飛行員，多年以后，作者真的成為了一名飛行員，一次難忘的經(jīng)歷也讓作者明白這份工作有多重要。自此，作者對自己的工作更加有興趣，也更享受著自己的工作。

【1】C 考查細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段前幾句話“My passion started decades ago as a kid on a flight to India. I was attracted by how such a large airplane was able to glide(滑翔）smoothly above the clouds. I made it a goal to become a pilot.”當我還是一個孩子，在去印度的飛機上時，我的熱情就開始了，如此大的飛機能夠在云層里順利地滑翔，我被此吸引了。于是我下定了決心要成為一名飛行員。故選C。

【2】A 考查推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句話“In fact，some days，I might even begin my work at three in the morning when I am needed to fly. Sometimes, as for the typical day，I do not have one.”事實上，有些時候，當有飛行任務的時候，我可能半夜三點起床，或者一些特殊的日子，對我來說是沒有的。所以工作時間不固定不常規(guī)使得我不是一個典型的飛行員。故選A。

【3】B 考查細節(jié)理解題。第三段中“A family was walking in from the gate, explaining that their beloved one was ill and had to be taken to a big hospital in another city immediately. ”一個家庭從大門進來，解釋著他們摯愛的人生病了，需要立即轉(zhuǎn)到另一個城市的大醫(yī)院去。作者回憶了這個令他難忘的一次經(jīng)歷，這個經(jīng)歷讓作者明白了自己作為一個飛行員的價值，就是給他人提供方便。故選B。

【4】D 考查主旨大意題。這篇文章作為一個飛行員的故事，從小時候?qū)︼w機滑行的好奇讓作者成為了一名飛行員， 接著作者講述了自己工作與其他典型飛行員不同的地方，然后回憶了一個難忘的經(jīng)歷來闡述工作的意義。最后表達了自己對這個工作的喜愛。所以主題可以歸納為選項D，作為一個美國航空飛行員。故選D。
