解 析： 定位句中的up to you、check、exactly分别和题目中的passenger’s responsibility、make sure、correct是同义替换，题目中给出了the和and，并且题目要求答案不超过 3 个词，答案就是dates和times。
考 点： 字数限制。如果没有注意题目要求中的字数限制而把答案写成了dates、times of the journey (on it)，就是错的。
Travellers should ensure they are ready to board the train with at least 14……………·to spare.

定位句： 根据关键词定位到倒数第十一行：Ticket control and access to each train platform will be open until 2 minutes before departure of the train. 开车前 2 分钟开始检票，并向乘客开放站台。

Will people finally be able to fly long distances without a plane?John Andres investigates
Rossy, who has been labelled “the Birdman”, was born in 1959 in Switzerland. After flying planes for the air force from the ages of 20 to 28, he went on to do a job as a pilot with a commercial airline from 1988 to 2000. “The cockpit of a plane is the most beautiful office in the world,” he says, “but I didn’t have any contact with the air around me. It was a bit like being in a box or a submarine under water.” From then on, he therefore concentrated on becoming the first jet-powered flying man.
In May 2008, he stepped out of an aircraft at about 3000 metres. Within seconds he was soaring and diving at over 290 kph, at one point reaching 300 kph, about 104 kph faster than the typical falling skydiver. His speed was monitored by a plane flying alongside.Rossy started his flight with a free fall, then he powered four jet turbines to keep him in the air before releasing a parachute which enabled him to float to the ground.The jet turbines are attached to special wings which he can unfold. The wings were manufactured by a German firm called JCT Composites. Initially he had approached a company called Jet-Kit which specialised in miniature planes, but the wings they made for him weren’t rigid enough to support the weight of the engines. Rossy says he has become “the first person to maintain a stable horizontal flight, thanks to aerodynamic carbon foldable wings.” Without these special wings, it is doubtful he would have managed to do this.

答案：commercial
关键词： 1959、military、pilot
定位句： 根据关键词定位到第一行：Rossy, who has been labelled “the Birdman”, was born in 1959 in Switzerland. After flying planes for the air force from the ages of 20 to 28, he went on to do a job as a pilot with a commercial airline from 1988 to 2000. Rossy于1959年出生在瑞士，他被人们称为“鸟人”。他从20岁到28岁就一直在空军服役做飞行员，然后从1988年至2000年，他又在一家商业航空公司做飞行员。
解 析： 题目问的是Rossy做过哪两种飞行员，定位句中的air force和题目中的military是同义替换，定位句还说he went on to do a job as a pilot with a commercialairline，题目要求答案是 1 个单词和/或 1 个数字，答案就是commercial。
考 点： 字数限制。如果没有注意题目要求中的字数限制而把答案写成了commercial airline，就是错的。

Q35 skydiver
关键词： May 2008、exceeding the speed、average
定位句： 根据关键词定位到第二段第一行：In May 2008 , he stepped out of an aircraft at about 3000 metres.

解 析： 定位句中的faster than、typical分别和题目中的exceeding the speed、average 是同义替换，题目要求答案是1个单词和/或1个数字，第35题的答案就是skydiver。
考 点： 字数限制。如果没有注意题目要求中的字数限制而把答案写成了falling skydiver，就是错的。
