You are going to read a magazine article about learning to fly a plane. Eight paragraphs have been removed from the article. Choose from the paragraphs A-I the one which fits each gap (15-21). There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use. There is an example at the beginning (0).
Learning to Fly
I had been testing cars and motorcycles for over twenty years. I couldn’t take any more. It wasn’t terribly exciting and, in any case, new cars were beginning to look identical and drive similarly. What I needed was a new challenge.
Unfortunately, I wore glasses. The Royal Air Force wouldn’t consider anyone for pilot training unless they had perfect eyesight. Halfway through an aptitude test, they realised that my eyes were far from perfect. I didn’t stand a chance.
【B1】__________
It was an obvious choice. It’s just twenty minutes’ drive from my home. It’s very quiet, too, so the t;90 per hour fur the training is spent flying in the air, not waiting on the ground for other planes to take off.
【B2】__________
It took me a whole year to get my private pilot’s licence. It started well, with my first solo flight coming after just seven hours. Then came all the studying, the exams, the hard work. I never thought I’d get to the end of it.
【B3】__________ Then came last winter and the end of the course was in sight. For weeks, the weather was so terrible that for most of the time it was impossible. to fly. Strong winds, heavy rain and even snow and ice made flying conditions extremely hazardous.
【B4】__________
But finally the first of three practical exams arrived- the navigation test. The exam finer sets you a course that you have to plan according to the weather, and then fly with him sitting beside you.
【B5】__________
I passed this test, but I don’t know how. The second test involves flying cross-country to two other ah ports. which you can choose, and landing at both. The important thing is to give the right messages to the air-traffic control people and understand their replies.
【B6】__________
After this alarming episode, the excreiscs in the flight- handling test were simple. As we completed the sixth exercise, the examiner suddenly turned to me and said, "Congratulations-you’ve passed!"
I wasn’t sure why, because we usually land as slowly as possible. Then I turned round and realised straightaway: we were being followed by a British Airways jumbo jet!
A A week which I had set aside for finishing the course came and went with no possibility of getting in the air at all. And besides the problems with the weather, my second son was born, and that made it even more difficult to find the time for lessons and studying.
B But the real reason I chose this club was that a friend of mine, Andrew Wilkins, is the chief instructor there. He impressed me by taking me out for a free flight just so that I could see what it was like.
C Unfortunately, I got myself lost this time and flew too far east. I completely missed the first airport. However, I flew over a car factory I recognised and managed to get back on course.
D Along the way, he’ll take the controls and fly off course, ,just to get you lost. Then he’ll hand back the controls to you and expect you to find your way home.
E One day I was asked by an air-traffic controller if I could see another aircraft ahead. I said yes, and immediately it disappeared into a cloud. I just didn’t know what to do.
F At the time, taking private lessons to learn how to fly was financially beyond me. So 1 had to delay my plans to become a pilot for quite a while. It was twenty years, in fact, before I finally enrolled at a flying club in Hertfordshire.
G Since getting my pilot’s licence, I’ve been out flying a few times. The highlight so far was flying up to Birmingham International Airport for a motor show with Andrew beside me. As we approached the runway, the air-traffic controller came on the radio asking for as much speed as our little plane could manage.
H For months, my head was always in a book and my head hurt from all the facts, figures and flying instructions.
I This feeling of needing a change coincided with my 40th birthday, which started me thinking about what I’d been doing all those years. When I left school all I had really wanted to do was fly.
【B3】______
选项
答案
H
解析
第16空后面段落中“…Then came all the studying,the exams,the hard work.I never thought l’d get to the end of it.”即“接下来就是没完没了的学习、考试、用功,不知何时是尽头”及H段中“For months,my head was always in a book…”即“数月里,我的大脑一直都停在书本里…”H段后又提到“Then came last winter…”在逻辑上有时间的连续性,符合文章内容的逻辑。
