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) 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.
Few airlines want to impose a total ban on their passengers using electronic devices because______.
选项
A、they don’t believe there is such a danger as radio interference
B、the harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be proved
C、most passengers refuse to take a plane which bans the use of radio and cassette players
D、they have other effective safety measures to fall back on
答案
C
解析
关键句在第二段最后一句,given that many passengers want to work during flights.很多乘客要在飞行期间工作,可以推断一些航空公司拒绝禁令的原因是:如果他们推行了禁令,也许许多需要在飞机上工作的乘客就不会选择乘坐飞机了。故选C。
