As a boy growing up in India, I had wanted to travel abr Wap版

试题详情及答案解析

As a boy growing up in India, I had wanted to travel abroad. I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s, with great interest.
My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe, where my father was to attend a meeting. We planned to travel to Belgium, Netherlands and West Germany.
I have lively memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand, during the flight to Frankfurt. We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew. The flight was really smooth and very enjoyable, even for someone like me, who is otherwise scared of flying.
After spending almost two weeks in Europe, we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport, for our return flight. What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河), it was simply an unforgettable experience. I was in asombremood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation, but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again, with the quality of their service.
Being the first airline to take me overseas, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. Even today, I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. Flying, in general, for me, has always been a terrible and painful experience. Flying on Lufthansa, however, is something I always have and always will look forward to.

试题分析：由于从小就听父亲讲他到世界各地旅行的故事，作者对周游世界产生了兴趣。在1998年的夏天，作者终于有机会和父母一起前往欧洲。作者至今对那次旅行仍记忆犹新，作者非常满意他乘坐的那家航空公司所提供的服务。
【小题1】细节理解题。根据第一段“I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe...with great interest”可知，作者小时候经常听父亲给他讲周游世界的事情，这引起了作者的兴趣，在加拿大待过的是作者的父亲，排除B、C；并非在印度长大的人就会喜欢旅游，排除A，故选D。
【小题2】猜测词义题。根据“as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation”可知，愉快的旅行即将画上句号，说明作者当时情绪有点失落，且根据下一行“the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience”可知，作者即将离开欧洲时的心情不是很好，故选D。
【小题3】推理判断题。根据第三段“I have lively memories...of going to Mumbai airport...I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew”可知，作者和父母是乘坐飞机飞往欧洲的，根据倒数第二段“for our return flight...but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again”可知，作者一家人返回印度时还是乘坐的飞机，故选A。
【小题4】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Being the first airline to take me overseas, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. ...enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline...Flying on Lufthansa”可知，作者喜欢乘坐Lufthansa的航班出行，他没有想过换乘其它公司的航班，说明Lufthansa是一家航空公司，故选A。
