News

Most flights were on schedule, as US air travel got back to normal. This came after a week of growing passenger frustration and airline delays caused by not having enough air traffic controllers on duty. Lawmakers in Washington moved swiftly to solve the problem - and reduce the effect of mandatory spending cuts which had forced 15-hundred air traffic controllers a day to take unpaid leave.
Transportation officials say the shift in funding also will keep 149 air-control towers at smaller airports open. Despite the move restoring full strength to the nation's air traffic control system, both political parties in Congress continue to blame each other for the forced spending cuts.

Q1. What do we know about US air travel?
Q2. What is the direct reason caused air traffic controllers not enough??

答案&解析：

1. 答案：C
解析：
根據(jù)開篇第一句：Most flights were on schedule, as US air travel got back to normal. "航班已經(jīng)能夠照既定計(jì)劃起飛，美國航空重新恢復(fù)正常"可知，答案應(yīng)為C. Most flights are punctual now.（大部分航班現(xiàn)在能夠準(zhǔn)點(diǎn)到達(dá)）；根據(jù)后文可知，航班延誤不是因?yàn)樘鞖?，所以A選項(xiàng)錯誤；根據(jù)airline delays caused by not having enough air traffic controllers on duty.可知，航班延誤是因?yàn)闆]有足夠的人手，而不是所有人手都失職了，B選項(xiàng)為片面絕對化，排除；D選項(xiàng)注意細(xì)節(jié)，全文是美國航空恢復(fù)正軌，并不僅僅是華盛頓航空回歸正常，排除。

2. 答案：B
解析：
根據(jù)Lawmakers in Washington moved swiftly to solve the problem - and reduce the effect of mandatory spending cuts which had forced 15-hundred air traffic controllers a day to take unpaid leave.一句可知，空中交警因?yàn)槭軓?qiáng)制削減開支的影響導(dǎo)致被迫休無薪假期，從而最終導(dǎo)致空中交警不夠。A選項(xiàng)為故意曲解，聽力中是指出立法者在問題出現(xiàn)后立即進(jìn)行解決，但并不是不幫助導(dǎo)致人手不夠；C選項(xiàng)是間接原因，而非直接原因；D選項(xiàng)為無中生有。
