M: Oh, man. I am not looking forward to this upcoming trip to Europe.
W: But Europe is amazing! You’re going to Frankfurt, right? I’ve been there twice, and it’s a delightful city! You’ll love it!
M: Oh, I’m sure I’ll like it when I get there, that is, if I get there.
W: I’m not following you.
M: I’m terrified of flying! Every time I get on a plane my heart starts beating faster, I sweat and the sound from the airplane makes me sure we are going to crash.(5)It’s so exhausting that I arrive at my destination completely unnerved.
W: Wow! That doesn’t sound like fun. I assume this condition is quite common—I know lots of people who don’t like to fly.
M: Everyone should be afraid of flying!(7)After all, it’s completely unnatural! We are crammed into a metal tube that’s flying through the air at hundreds of kilometers an hour.
W: Yeah sure, but in fact,(8)your chances of being in a fatal accident is something like one in 5 million. Those are pretty good odds!
M: Yeah, I’ve read those statistics, but I guess when I’m driving at least I feel in control. I feel completely helpless when I’m on an airplane.
W:(9)You certainly picked the wrong profession. You are an international sales representative—traveling is part of the job!
M: I know! I thought my fear would lessen the more I did it, but it’s been 10 years now and I’m still afraid of flying.
W: You know, the idea that you are more in control behind the wheel of a car than you are in an airplane might not be valid. Think about it: how much control do you have over road conditions or other drivers on the road? Very little, right?
M: That’s true.
W:(10 - 1)Have you ever tried pretending that you’re on a bus? My uncle uses this trick when he’s flying—whenever the plane runs into some turbulence he just closes his eyes and pretends he’s sitting on a bumpy bus.
M: Hmm...I’m not sure if that would work but it’s worth a try.
W: Where do you usually sit on the plane?
M: As close as possible to an emergency exit.
W:(10-2)My uncle says the best place to sit is as close to the wings as possible because in his experience, the center of the plane is more stable.
M: That makes sense. I’ll try to find a seat near an emergency exit by the wings.
W: Of course, if nothing else works, you can always see a doctor and perhaps he can prescribe some anti-anxiety medication for you.
M: I’d rather not use medications, but thanks for your advice.

选项
A、People can survive if lucky enough.
B、The chance is very little.
C、They can be prevented.
D、The possibility can be ignored.
答案
B
解析
本题考查人物观点。由句(8)可知,女士说飞机遇上致命事故的几率是五百万分之一,也就是说可能性微乎其微。因此答案为B。
