1. (2020高三下·桐城月考) 阅读理解

    Whether you relax yourself with a glass of wine, bury yourself in a novel or carry on a conversation with the person seated next to you on a plane can be determined by which nationality is listed on your passport, a survey has claimed.

    According to the results of an international passenger survey, Australians are the biggest boozers (酒鬼) on board with 36 per cent choosing to down the hatch (机舱门), compared to 35 per cent of Americans and 33 per cent of Brits.

    The Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) spoke to around 1,500 people, ages 18 and older, who have travelled by plane at least once during the last three months and were living in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, China, Singapore, Australia or Brazil.

    The results found Chinese travelers are most likely to nod off (打瞌睡) once the seatbelt sign switches off. They are also the first to reach for their credit card for some in-flight shopping and the biggest fans of gaming.

    Americans on the other hand like to use their time in the air more productively — when not drinking — choosing to work while flying at 35,000 feet. Meanwhile, Brits and Germans are the best at having a chat with random strangers — spending 50 per cent more time than any other nationalities in schmoozing (闲聊).

    By contrast, Brazilians conduct their conversations online by means of email, messaging apps or social media. In spite of plane food having a bad reputation, seven out of ten passengers said they were happy to chew down on the selection of in-flight snacks and meals. In-flight magazines were also popular with four out of five passengers claiming to read them.

    The international flyers, who travelled on eight major airlines, however, did express their desire for better in-flight entertainment and 36 per cent wanted improved connectivity (连通性). "The industry has greatly improved the comfort, atmosphere, connectivity and entertainment onboard aircraft, and this data shows that passengers are accepting those improvements," said Russell Lemieux, APEX executive director.
