Today, air travel is far safer than driving a car on a busy motor way. But there is the danger that grows every year. From the moment the airplane takes off to the moment it lends, every moment is watched on radar screens. Air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb end when to come down. The traffic controllers around the busy airport may handle 1,000 planes a day. Any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. Every small mistake on their part could cause a disaster. Recently, such a disaster almost happened. Two large jets were flying towards the airport. One was carrying 69 passengers and had come from Toronto, the other was carrying 176 passengers from Chicago. An air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other. He ordered one to turn to the right to climb, but he made a mistake. He ordered the wrong plane to do this. So, instead of turning away from the second plane, the first plane turned towards it. 15 seconds later, it flew directly in front of the second plane. They avoided each other by a second. The distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool. This is an example of the danger that grows every year.

选项 A、Bad weather.
B、The large size of airplanes.
C、Mistakes by air traffic controllers.
D、Crowded air traffic.

答案C

解析 该题问“根据本段,什么因素最能给飞机带来危险?”文中提到“Any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. Every small mistake on their part could cause a disaster.”(任何在机场附近飞行的飞机都要接受管制员的命令。他们的一个小小的失误都会带来一场灾难。)由此可以知道,空中管制员的错误是最为致命的危险。故C项“空中管制员的错误”正确。
