Before a new type of airplane goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others.
The first is called the "tank test". A modern airplane must fly very high in the sky. Air must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure (结构) of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure ( 压力) on a small window is like a huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to fail, the plane would explode in the sky. To test the structure of the plane, the plane is lowered into a huge tank or container of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is high up in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere else.
Engineers can discover which part of the plane has broken. Then that part is made stronger.
The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flights in the air. The test pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines(发动机) are all shut off at once. The plane begins to fall like a stone. It is the pilot′s job to find out how he can get control of the plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.

A.the amount of air in the plane
B.the strength of the plane structure
C.the pressure inside and outside the plane
D.the power of the airplane engines

第43题单选 What might be the most suitable title for the text?

A young man went to a car showroom. He was wearing rubber boots and a dirty jacket. He needed a haircut badly and was unshaven. The young man examined an expensive car carefully and then turned to speak to the salesman.
"How much does this car cost?" he asked.
"One thousand two hundred and eighteen pounds," the salesman said.
"I′ll have sixteen of them. " the young man said.
The salesman smiled. He found it hard to be polite. "You are joking of course," he said," I′m afraid we can′t help you. This car is not for sale. "
The salesman showed his customer the door and the young man left the shop without a word. He went to a showroom on the other side of the street and took a handle of notes out of his pocket and paid for the cars.

The Americans believe that anybody can become President of the United States. In a recent Hollywood comedy(喜剧) ,that is exactly what happens.
Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leads a typical( 典型的)American way of life, except for one thing--he looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the nation′s leader is that he is very nice!
The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a chance to " serve his country" by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.
Director Ivan Reitman,who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles,could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government. In-stead,Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic( 经典).
The film is 100% American. However, if you′ve ever felt that anybody could do a better job run-ning the country than the people in power, then you′ll enjoy Dave!
第47题 What is the purpose of the text?
A.To tell the reader about the American government.
B.To discuss the Americans' ideas about the President.
C.To make a comparison between Dave and other films.
D.To introduce a new film to the reader.
