21．（6分）On the morning of May 20, 1927, Charles A．Lindbergh Jr. took off from a muddy airfield in New York and headed for Paris. During the first fourteen hours of flying, he had had some anxious moments. Sleet had gathered on the wings of the plane and the fog was so thick that he could hardly see the tips of the wings. However, he had come across equally dangerous flying conditions before. Of course, now that he was over the ocean, his parachute（降落伞）was useless. He had only one choice: he had to go on.
Although he had waited a long time to make this trip, he did not feel strange or nervous. He was accustomed to flying alone, and he had flown this route in his imagination many times. The idea of flying across the Atlantic had occurred to him one night when he had been carrying the mail between St. Louis and Chicago. That night, he told himself that a solo non-stop flight between New York and Paris was possible. He knew that airplanes capable of making the long flight over the ocean could be built. A man of skill and endurance could make his dream come true.
As he was recalling that night, he reduced the altitude of the plane. Close to the surface of the ocean, he found that the ice on the wings began to melt and the fog disappeared. For the time being, at least, he was safe. The steady sound of the motor seemed like music in his ears. He had perfect confidence in his plane because he knew that there was not a more dependable plane than his. The Ryan Aircraft Company had constructed the plane to meet his special needs. He had worked with the chief engineer of the company, Donald Hall, to produce the airplane as rapidly as possible. Although Hall had worked with the basic design of the Ryan airplane, he had had to make many modifications. As a result, it was a very special airplane. He had named it “The Spirit of St. Louis,” in honour of the St. Louis businessmen whose financial backing had made the trip possible. Besides their money, he had invested all of his own savings, which came to two thousand dollars, in the venture.
At 12 :10 on the afternoon of May 21, Lindbergh caught sight of the coast of Ireland. Now that the flight was almost over, he began to relax a little. Finally, after thirty-four hours in the air without sleep, he arrived at Le Bourget Field, in Paris.
1、According to Paragraph 2, Lindbergh Jr. didn’t feel nervous about the flight because of the following reasons EXCEPT that _________.
A．he was used to flying alone B．he had waited a long time for the trip
C．he had imagined flying the route many times D．his plane was specially designed
2、What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A．The pilot listened to music as he reduced the altitude of the plane.
B．The trip was made possible thanks to the financial support from some businessmen.
C．The plane got its name in memory of a non-stop trip.
D．The chief engineer designed the airplane independently to meet the pilot’s needs.
3、What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．beautiful decorations B．regular repairs
C．small changes D．careful arrangements
4、Which of the following would be the best title?
A．Wings Across the Atlantic
B．A Solo Non-stop Flight of 24 Hours
C．The Spirit of St. Louis
D．An Outstanding Pilot—Charles A．Lindbergh Jr.
