1、Americans are willing to tolerate time-consuming security procedures in return for increased safety. The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804, which terrorists may have downed over the Mediterranean Sea, provides another tragic reminder of why. But demanding too much of air travelers or providing too little security in return undermines public support for the process. And it should: Wasted time is a drag on Americans' economic and private lives, not to mention infuriating.（節(jié)選自2017年考研英語一Text1）
【題目】
1. The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804 is mentioned to.
[A] stress the urgency to strengthen security worldwide.
[B] explain Americans' tolerance of current security checks.
[C] highlight the necessity of upgrading major US airports.
[D] emphasis the importance of privacy protection.
【解析】
根據(jù)題干信息“The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804”定位在第二段，其中*一句Americans are willing to tolerate time-consuming security procedures in return for increased safety，即“美國人愿意忍受耗時(shí)的安檢程序以確保安全”，緊接著下一句The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804，which terrorists may have downed over the Mediterranean Sea，provides another tragic reminders of why.即“埃及航空804的墜毀（由于恐怖分子，可能墜入地中海）給大家一個(gè)悲劇提醒，為什么這樣做”。因此，埃及航空804墜毀是為了給人們提示為什么美國人愿意忍受耗時(shí)的安檢程序。故[B]explain Americans'tolerance of current security checks為正確答案。
2、Last year, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) found in a secret check that undercover investigators were able to sneak weapons-both fake and real-past airport security nearly every time they tried. Enhanced security measures since then, combined with a rise in airline travel due to the improving Chicago's O' Hare International. It is not yet clear how much more effective airline security has become—but the lines are obvious.（節(jié)選自2017年考研英語一Text1）
【題目】
2.Which of the following contributions to long waits at major airport?
[A] New restrictions on carry-on bags.
[B]The declining efficiency of the TSA.
[C] An increase in the number of travelers.
[D]Frequent unexpected secret checks.
【解析】根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵信息“l(fā)ong waits at major airports”直接定位到第三段第二句。該句指出，…enhanced security measures，combined with a rise in airline travel，have resulted in long waits at major airports（加強(qiáng)的安全措施，以及航空旅行人數(shù)的增多，導(dǎo)致了主要機(jī)場的長時(shí)間排隊(duì)等候）。可見，導(dǎo)致主要機(jī)場的長時(shí)間排隊(duì)等候的因素有兩個(gè)：enhanced security measures（加強(qiáng)的安全措施）和a rise in airline travel（航空旅行人數(shù)的增多）。[C]選項(xiàng)中an increase和文中a rise為同義替換，travelers和airline travel為同義替換。故[C]選項(xiàng)是對原文的同義替換，為正確答案。
