2.【答案】D。
【解析】go into existence存在，若用此处，则有这种公汽在曼彻斯特被发明之意；结合本句后半部分，另一批公汽将投入使用，所以这是首批投入使用的。go into operation实施，执行。

10. A. smiled B. spoke C. added D. acted
1.【答案】A。
【解析】用动词go，则luggage与go关系为主谓，所以用现在分词。用take或make，则luggage与它们关系为动宾，应用过去分词。
2.【答案】B。
【解析】clothes衣服总称；uniform制服；form形式；uniformity一致性。此处主要考核学生词汇量，后面都有form，意义有何区别。
3.【答案】D。
【解析】根据上下文，是机场广播“传达某种信息”，即旅客被“告知”，其习惯表达是“to be told…”。其它三个选择项都与上下文无关。
4.【答案】C。
【解析】“be unable to do sth.”是“不能够……”，后必须接不定式做状语，因此选unable既符合语法要求，又合题意。而B)应是“be incapable of sth.”是指“无能力的”，“不能的”；D)应是 “be unsuitable for sth.”是指“不合适的”，“不适当的。
5.【答案】A。
【解析】seat belt指“安全带”。B. C. D选项均不合题意。
6.【答案】C。
【解析】“tried to forget my nervousness” 是指“设法忘掉紧张情绪”，和上文第二句中未提到的“It did not look…” 及第8题中提到的“…but the plane looked stronger inside than it had from outside”的含意联系起来，正好相符，而A. smooth (使顺利, 使光滑)；B. decrease (减少)；D. relax (娱乐) 都与原文无关。
7.【答案】A。
【解析】“noticed是指“注意到”。这只是对过去所发生事情的一般叙述，即经过一小时飞行之后所看到事情，涉及不到过去将来和过去完成时态。
8.【答案】A。
【解析】on表示电路等接通，灯等开着。
9.【答案】B。
【解析】“similar”类似的；general总体的；common普通的；sharp尖的，辛辣的。
10.【答案】C。
【解析】smiled与acted和文中“over the loudspeakers”相矛盾，因为通过“loudspeakers”讲话，所以根本看不到“smiled”和“acted”的表情动作。
