七、完形填空。
Many people like to travel 1 plane, but I don't like it. Because an airport is usually far from the 2. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often 3 because of the weather. You can't open the window. You can't choose the food. Planes are 4, but it still takes hours to get out of the airport and into the city. I'd like 5 by train. I think trains are safe. The stations are usually in cities. When you can't catch a train, you can catch another 6. You can walk around in the train. You can see many interesting things on 7 way. And the trains are fast too. I also like 8. You can start your trip 9 you want to, and you 10 to reach a train station or a bus stop. And you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.

【分析】
做完形填空需先通读全文把握主旨（本文围绕不同出行方式的特点展开，作者表达对火车、汽车的偏好），再逐空结合固定搭配、语境、语法规则分析选项：
1. 第1空：考查固定搭配“by + 交通工具”，表“乘坐”，故选B；
2. 第2空：由后文“进入城市”可知机场远离城市，选A；
3. 第3空：因天气原因飞机常晚点，选B；
4. 第4空：需形容词描述飞机速度，fast（快的）符合，选B；
5. 第5空：固定搭配“would like to do sth”，选A；
6. 第6空：another后接单数代词one指代前文的train，避免重复，选A；
7. 第7空：固定搭配“on one's way”，主语为you，用your，选B；
8. 第8空：后文提到“in a car”，对应选C；
9. 第9空：表“当你想出发时”，用when引导时间状语从句，选C；
10. 第10空：汽车出行无需去车站，主语you，否定形式don't need，选C。
【解析】
1. 选B：固定搭配“by plane”表示“乘飞机”，符合语境；
2. 选A：机场通常远离城市，对应后文“get out of the airport and into the city”；
3. 选B：“be late”表示“晚点”，因天气导致飞机晚点，符合逻辑；
4. 选B：此处需形容词，fast（快的）描述飞机速度，quickly是副词，quiet不符合；
5. 选A：“would like to do sth”是固定用法，表“想要做某事”；
6. 选A：another后接one指代同类事物中的另一个，避免重复；
7. 选B：“on one's way”是固定搭配，此处用your对应主语you；
8. 选C：后文提到“in a car”，可知此处指汽车这种出行方式；
9. 选C：when引导时间状语从句，表“当……的时候”，符合句意；
10. 选C：根据语境，乘汽车无需去火车站或公交站，主语you，用don't need。
