名师点评
乘飞机时喜爱窗子旁边，但是临窗的座位上有一个警告，上面写着：此座留着是为了保持飞机平衡，只好作罢。又有几个乘客看到空座走了过去，但看到纸条后都离开了。这时，上来一个年轻漂亮的女士，旁边的年轻人就把纸条拿掉了。阅读时注意体会文章的幽默感。 答案简析
1.A。因为下文叙述的是飞机上发生的事情。by air=by plane。
2.C。喜欢坐在窗子“旁边”。
3.B。表示结果，与上句的look for(表动作)相呼应。
4.B。从句子结构看，此空该填非谓语动词形式。seat是及物动词，意思是“使某人就坐”，它与a young man是动宾关系，所以用seated，表示状态;而sit是不及物动词，它与a young man是主谓关系，要用sitting，表示动作。
5.C。不能选A，因为arrive为不及物动词;由下文可知，他根本没坐下来，所以也不能选B;若选D，则与上句的he went towards it相矛盾。
6.D。in large letters是固定说法，意为“用大写字母”。
7.B。这里该用现在分词表示伴随动作。say强调“说”的内容，而speak则指“说”的动作，故不选D。
8.D。which引导定语从句，指代先行词something particularly heavy。
9.A。another表泛指“另一个”。
10.C。此处不定式to sit用作定语，应与被修饰的名词seat构成动宾关系，而sit却是不及物动词，必须加上介词on。
11.B。try只表示设法去做某事，而不表示是否做成;manage却表示设法做成了某事。由本句末的but they also read the notice and went on得知，不选C。
12.B。随着情节的发展，飞机上的人越来越多，快要“满了”，所以用full。
13.B。enter作“进入”讲时，一般不与into连用，故不选C。
14.A。quickly表示“立刻行动，毫不迟延”用于此处符合the man 的心境，也大大地增强了文章的幽默感。
15.C。take ---off---是固定搭配，意为“把......从......取下”。
