高中英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法填空:對(duì)話(huà)題型培優(yōu)練習(xí) Test 4

M: Did you hear about the air crash that occurred in South America recently? It was quite a tragic accident!

W: No, I didn't see anything in the news about it. What happened?

M: A foreign airliner 　61　 (attempt) to land at night in a mountainous area in Argentina and flew 　62　 a hill!

W: That sounds really terrible! Did anyone survive?

M: No, everyone aboard, 　63　 (include) the crew, was killed instantly.

W: What were the circumstances? Were there bad weather, a fire, or engine failure?

M: 　64　 (apparent), there were some low clouds in the area, but mostly 　65　 was just miscommunication between the pilots and the traffic controllers.

W: Weren't they both speaking in English, the official international aviation language?

M: Yes they were, but the transmit ion from poor quality radios was slightly distorted and the accents of the Spanish speaking controllers was 　66　 strong that the pilots misunderstood a vital instruction.

W: How could a 　67　 like that cause such a serious accident?

M: The pilots were told to descend to 2-2,000 feet. The instruction actually meant 22,000 feet, but they thought they heard descend 2,000 feet. That's a huge difference, and it 　68　 (confirm), but it was not. Unfortunately, the terrain of the mountains in Norweija ascend to 2,000 feet.

W: So the pilots did descend to the wrong altitude then, 　69　 they were following the air controllers instructions.

M: Sadly enough, yes they did. It was a really bad mistake. Many people died as 　70　 result of the simple misunderstanding.

W: Wow, that's a powerful lesson on how important it can be to accurately communicate to each other.
