19、e wind which always blows from the west to the east across the Atlantic.The planes moving at a constant air speed thus go faster in the westeast direction when they are moving with the wind than in the opposite direction.2What would happen if the gravity on Earth was suddenly turned off?Supposing we

23、jet stream always blows from the east across the Atlantic.A解析：推理判断题。从第一段可知大西洋上空特定的气流状况是影响飞机速度的重要因素。文中“The reason for the difference is an atmospheric phenomenon known as the jet(喷射) stream.”暗示了这一段的主旨。其余三项论述与文章内容不符。10The word “shoot” underlined in the 2nd passage probably means “_”Asend forBmove quic

25、d would not float awayDeverything outside buildings would fly off spaceB解析：推理判断题。由第二段中的“Things not attached to the Earth would fly off in a straight line.”以及后文中的例子可知选B项。文章中说的是不固定在地球上的东西在失去地球引力时会四处乱飞，其余三项中的例子都有所偏颇。12Where can we most probably read this text?AIn a research paper.BIn a short story.CIn

26、a travel magazine.DIn a students book.D解析：推理判断题。文章论述的是较为浅显的科学问题，所以不可能是出自科学论文或旅游杂志。又因为作者是从科学道理和事实方面进行阐述的，所以不是出自故事类刊物，只能是选于学生用的教材。 七选五If youve ever had a bad night of sleep, you know its difficult to stay awake in class when youre tired.
