The biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the past 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference.
The source of this interference remains unconfirmed , but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic device such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.
RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation(航空)industry, has recommended that all airlines ban(禁止)such devices from being used during "critical" stages of flight, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.
The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft’ s computers. Experts know that portable device emit radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.
The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable(易受损的)to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who can ’ t hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music’ s too loud.
The passage is mainly about______.
选项
A、a new regulation for all airlines
B、the defects of electronic devices
C、a possible cause of aircraft crashes
D、effective safety measures for air flight
答案
C
解析
考查主题。主题一般在第一段段首。如果这个题出现在中间的话,一般对应某一段的内容和主题,范围小一点,比较容易。如果是第一题或最后一题,则对应整篇文章。本文的主题是关于电磁干扰可能影响飞机安全,故选C。
