2020高考英語二輪復習 30天系列練習高考倒計時第6天（含解析）

倒數第6天(5月31日)Time was running out，and Mark Dickinson wasn't sure whether he'd get to see his dying 2yearold grandson one last time.A long line at Los Angeles International Airport's security checkpoint had kept him from getting to his gate on time.His grandson Caden would be taken off life support in a matter of hours in Denver，Colorado，with or without his grandfather's presence.“I was kind of panicking(驚慌)because I was running late，and I really thought I wasn't going to make the flight，”Dickinson said.That's when a pilot from Southwest Airlines stepped up and held the flight at the gate until Dickinson arrived.The pilot was standing by the gate waiting for him when Dickinson arrived in socks，so rushed that he just grabbed his shoes at security and ran through the boarding gate.“I told him.Thank you so much.I can't tell you how much I appreciated that.And he said，No problem.They can't leave without me anyway，”Dickinson said.Dickinson's grandson，Caden Rodgers，suffered a head injury in an accident.Dickinson's wife called Southwest and asked them to hold the plane.After the flight，Dickinson said，he wanted to thank the pilot again for his sincere display of sympathy(表示同情)but didn't get the chance.Most airlines would punish any staff member who holds up a flight.However，a Southwest spokeswoman said the pilot's actions were exemplary.“You can't hold a plane for every late customer，but I think we would all agree that the pilot absolutely made the right decision，”Southwest spokeswoman Marilee McInnis said.“I don't think you could ask for a better example of great service for our customers.It gives you a sense of pride that our pilot took such an action.”【語篇解讀】 對于航空公司來說，乘客就是上帝。1What caused Dickinson to arrive late?AA terrible accident on his way to the airport.BToo many passengers in the airport.CA panic at the airport.DHis old age and slow movement.解析事實細節(jié)題?！癆 long line at Los Angeles International Airport's security checkpoint had kept him from getting to his gate on time.”說明當時過安檢的人很多，影響了他按時登機。答案B2The underlined word “exemplary” in the seventh paragraph means “_”Aadmirable BblamableCsympathetic Dshocking解析猜測詞義題。從上文的however以及下文航空公司發(fā)言人的話中我們可以看出“雖然一般情況下飛行員是不能這么做的，但對于特殊情況下飛行員的特殊處理公司是理解和支持的?！贝鸢窤3It can be inferred from the passage that the pilot _.Acould receive a big rewardBcould have lost his jobCcould escape punishmentDwouldn't do it again解析推理判斷題。從最后一段中的“It gives you a sense of pride that our pilot took such an action.”可以看出“公司對飛行員的做法是感到自豪的?！彼詰摬粫幜P飛行員。答案C4What's the main idea of the passage?AThe man's wife called the airline and asked them to hold the plane.BMany airlines would punish a staff member who holds up a flight.CA pilot holds up a flight for a man going to see his dying grandson.DThe pilot's action makes one proud to work for Southwest.解析主旨大意題。本文講述的是某航空公司的一位飛行員因為一位特殊的遲到乘客而推遲飛機起飛的感人事跡。答案C
