【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了乘飞机旅行的优缺点。

1.as 考查连词。句意：越来越多的人选择它作为旅行的方式。故填as。

2.faster 考查比较级。much后面加比较级，故填faster。

3.safety 考查名词。in terms of safety从安全方面考虑，介词后面加名词，故填safety。

4.optional 考查形容词。transportation methods为名词词组，应该用形容词修饰，故填optional。

5.an 考查冠词。 an affordable price一个负担得起的价格。故填an。

6.weaknesses 考查词性。此处作为名词形式，表示航空旅行的弱点，弱点不只一点，故要用复数形式。故填weaknesses。

8.If 考查条件句。如果不幸你的航班被取消了。故填If。

9.waiting 考查非谓语动词。句意：会有更多意想不到的麻烦等着你。句中已经有谓语动词，故这里用非谓语动词，与逻辑主语troubles是主动关系，故填现在分词waiting。

语法填空的解题技巧

语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力。我们在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意，有把握的空格可以进行填写。在读懂的基础上，再结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析逐题解答。按题型设计分三种情况：

1. 纯空格试题的解题技巧

首先分析句子结构，根据所缺成分确定哪类词。然后，根据句子意思，确定具体填什么词，或根据两句间的逻辑关系确定具体用哪个连词。比如第1题：考查连词。句意：越来越多的人选择它作为旅行的方式。故填as。

2. 给出了动词的试题解题技巧

首先，判断要填的动词是谓语动词还是非谓语动词。若句子没有别的谓语动词或者虽然已有谓语动词，但需填的动词与之是并列关系，所给动词就是谓语动词，若是谓语动词就要考虑时态和语态；若句子有谓语动词则用非谓语动词（动词不定式、现在分词、动名词和过去分词）。比如第10题：考查固定用法。to do表示目的。故填to get 。比如第7题：考查被动语态。是被滞留在机场，应该用被动语态。故填abandoned。

3. 词汇转换题解题技巧

这类题主要考查名词、形容词和副词。根据盖茨在剧中所做句子成分确定用哪种形式。比如第4题：考查形容词。transportation methods为名词词组，应该用形容词修饰，故填optional。
