问题 单项选择题

近几年来,我国开始对国内20个制造业行业中820家企业的采购经理进行月度问卷调查,加工汇总他们对所在行业的采购和供应等问题的判断结果,得到制造业采购经理指数(PMI)。

PMI是一个综合指数,由生产、新订单、主要原材料库存、从业人员、供应商配送时间5个分类指数乘以相应的权数后相加得到。:PMI指数反映了当月制造业采购和供应状况相对于上月的变化。各类指数在50%以上,通常反映其对应的某一方面经济扩张;低于50%,通常反映其经济活动衰退。

表中“?”处的数据应为()。

A.51.6

B.52.1

C.53.8

D.54.4

答案

参考答案:B

解析:

文字材料中明确说明PMI是五个分类指数乘以相应的权数后得到。即:55.8×25%+52.1×30%+49.4×10%+50.6×20%+50.0×15%≈52.1。

     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.

1. By doing the "tank test", the engineers can find out _____.[ ]

A. the power of the airplane engines

B. the amount of air in the plane

C. the strength of the plane structure

D. the pressure inside and outside the plane

2. What will happen to the plane under the "tank test"? [ ]

A. It will be tested by pilots.

B. It will be broken.

C. It will be made stronger.

D. It will be filled with water.

3. According to the text, why are test flights most dangerous?[ ]

A. Too much air may get into the plane.

B. The plane may explode in the air.

C. The pilot may lose control of the plane.

D. The engines may be damaged.

4. What might be the most suitable title for the text? [ ]

A. How Airplanes Are Made and Tested

B. Two Important Tests on Airplanes

C. The Importance of Flying Safely

D. The Danger of Testing Airplanes
