【解析】

试题分析：Mr. Robinson坐飞机去谈生意，在飞机上发生的故事。

1.by 固定搭配：by air坐飞机，故填by。

2.a 句意：他努力寻找一个挨窗户的座位。故填a。

3.sitting 此处是现在分词作后置定语，故填sitting。

4.however 句意：然而，当他到达那的时候，他看见上面有一个通知。此处表示转折，又有逗号，故填however。

5.is preserved 根据句意可知用一般现在时态的被动语态，“---被留下”，故填is preserved。

6.had 句意：Mr. Robinson以前在飞机上从来没见过这样的一个人通知。Before作副词讲的时候，句子用完成时态，根据句意可知此处用过去完成时态；否定词Never位于句子开头，句子用部分倒装，故填had。

7.particularly 副词修饰形容词，故填particularly。

8.passengers Several修饰名词复数，故填passengers。

9.who The soldier做先行词，指人，从句缺主语，所以后面的非限制性定语从句用who引导。

10.

强调句型的用法

1.在英语中，我们常用It is/was… who/that结构来突出强调句子的某一成分(一般是句子中主语，宾语或状语)。在这个句型中，it没有词汇意义，只是引出被强调的成分。如果被强调的成分是表示人的词，用who或that来连接都可以。如果是其它成分，则一律用that来连接。It is my mother who/that cooks every day.是我的妈妈每天做饭；It was yesterday that Tom passed in the maths exam.是昨天汤姆通过了数学考试。

2.被强调成分是主语，who/that之后的谓语动词应该在人称和数上与原句中的主语保持一致。It is I who am right.It is he who is wrong. It is the students who are lovely.

3.即使被强调成分是句子中的时间状语，地点状语，原因状语等，也不能用when，where, because，要用 that.

It was because of the heavy rain that he came late.是因为大雨他迟到了。

4.被强调部分既包括人又包括物，用that不用who。lt was the things and people that they remembered that they were talking about.

5.区分定语从句和强调句型某些定语从句和强调句型形式差不多，容易混淆。如果去掉it is/was ...that句子仍然通顺成立，则为强调句型，不成立不通顺，则为定语从句。It was three years ago that he went to American for a further study去掉It was that句子为Three years ago he went to America for a further study.句子通顺，意思完整，那么，这就是一个强调句型。
