【要点综述】查尔斯·普拉姆在越战期间是一名喷气式战机飞行员，在一次任务中，他的飞机被地空导弹击落。他被弹射了出去。唯一能够从死亡的边缘挽救他的就是随身带的降落伞，所以他祈祷着伞能打开。结果，降落伞顺利打开了，查尔斯得以活着着陆。查尔斯没有忘记为他打包降落伞的人，正是这些平凡的人给了他渡过险境的机会和力量。

1．B 根据上下文可知，他的飞机是被一发地空导弹所摧毁，而不是被跟踪、发现或窥视。故选B。

2．C 根据下文的“…spent six years in prison in Vietnam.”可知，Plumb是“被捕”了，而不是“战亡”或“释放”。“受伤”的结果并不意味着要坐牢。故选C。

3．A 他得以从那场磨难中逃生，现在向人们讲述他从那次经历中所学到的东西。只有lecture才和about搭配表示“向人讲述”之意。故选A。

4．C 由第一段第一句可知Plumb是一个“jet fighter pilot”，所以是flew。故选C。 5．D 由第一段第二句可知，Plumb的飞机被地空导弹摧毁，故是“被击落”。take down记下； look down俯视； set down放下； shoot down击落。

6．D 由后文可知，这个人的工作是在船上捆扎(pack)降落伞，而不是检查(check)。故选D。

7．A Plumb又惊讶又感激地倒吸了一口气，惊讶是这个人竟然认得他，感激的是他捆扎的降落伞挽救了自己的生命。故选A。

8．B 由Plumb assured him可知，Plumb说话时的语气是非常肯定的，应用surely。故选B。

9．C 由上文的“You…jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier(航空母舰) Kitty Hawk.”及下文的sailor可推断出“Kitty Hawk”应是一艘航空母舰。在船上应用介词on。aboard是“登船”之意。故选C。

10．B Plumb不跟那个人打招呼与“一个人是飞行员，另一个人是水手”之间是因果关系，故选B。

11．A 由下文“Plumb thought of the many days the sailor had spent…”可知选A。 12．D 由下文可知，他应细心地整理好每一个降落伞。故选D。 13．C 这里指他手里都掌握着一个素不相识的人的命运。故选C。 14．D 由上文的“…about…”可知应是“观众”。故选D。

15．C 根据上文“‘I…your parachute，’ the man replied.”可知应选C。

16．A 每个人的生活中都有一个人，这个人为他们提供渡过难关所需要的东西。故选A。 17．B 由下文的mental，emotional，spiritual等词可知，除了心理上的、感情上的、精神上的降落伞之外，他还需要“物质上的”降落伞。故选B。

18．C 他依赖所有这些支撑力量才得以安全降落。上一句中提到的parachute均为比喻用法，并不是指真正的降落伞。故选C。

19．B

20．B 他的经历提醒我们所有人，去发现那些平日里为我们捆扎降落伞的人，是他们给了我们走过风雨的力量。故选B。
