根据下面资料,回答1-5题。

The most frightening words in the English language are,"Our computer is down."You hear it more and more when you are on business.The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said,"I′m sorry,I can′t sell you a ticket.Our computer is down."

"If your computer is down,just write me out a ticket."

"I can′t write you out a ticket.The computer is the only one allowed to do so."

I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen.Then I asked her,"What do all you people do?"

"We give the computer the information about your trip,and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not."

"So when it goes down,you go down with it."

"That′s good,sir."

"How long will the computer be down?"I wanted to know.

"I have no idea.Sometimes it′s down for 10 minutes,sometimes for two hours.There′s no way we can find out without asking the computer,and since it′s down it won′t answer us."

After the girl told me they had no backup computer because it′s high price.I said."Let′s forget the computer.What about your planes?They′re still flying,aren′t they?"

"I couldn′t tell without asking the computer."

"Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he′s flying to Washington,"I suggested.

"I wouldn′t know what gate to send you to.Even if the pilot was going to Washington,he couldn′t take you if you didn′t have a ticket."

"Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?"

"I wouldn′t know,"she said,pointing at the dark screen."Only′IT′knows.It can′t tell me."

By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines.The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down.Some people went white:some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.

【参考答案】

1-5:ADBCB

【参考翻译】

英语中最可怕的词是:我们的电脑坏了。当你出差时,你会听到越来越多这样的话。另一天,我是在机场等待一张去华盛顿和售票处的女孩说,我对不起,我不能卖给你票。我们的电脑坏了。

如果你的电脑坏了,就给我开一张罚单。

我可以给你出票。计算机是被允许这样做的。

我低头看着电脑,每个乘客都站在那里喝着咖啡,盯着黑屏。然后我问她:你们这些人都做什么?

我们给电脑提供你旅行的信息,然后它会告诉我们你是否能和我们一起飞行。

所以当它下降时,你也跟着下降。

不错,先生。

电脑会停多久?我想知道。

我不知道。有时它10分钟,有时两个小时。没有办法没有问我们可以找到电脑,由于它下来就回答我们。

那个女孩告诉我说他们竟没有备份之后电脑因为它高价格。我说。让忘记电脑。你们的飞机呢?他们仍然重新飞行,并他们?

我简直告诉没有问电脑。

也许我可以去门口,问飞行员如果他飞往华盛顿,我提议道。

我就知道送你去。即使飞行员华盛顿,他也带你如果你也票。

接下来几小时内还有其他航空公司飞往华盛顿吗?

我就知道,她说,指着暗屏幕。只有知道。能告诉我。

这时已经有相当多的人在排队了。这个词很快蔓延到其他旅客,电脑了。有些人去怀特:有些人开始哭泣,还有些人踢他们的行李。
