The biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference. The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic devices such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.
RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation industry, has recommended that all airlines ban such devices from being used during "critical" stages of flight, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.
The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft’s computers. Experts know that portable devices emit radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.
The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who can’t hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music’s too loud. [br] The passage is mainly about ______.

答案
C
解析
本题询问文章的主要内容是什么。文章首先说明对航空公司最大的威胁来自电磁干扰。接着,文章介绍了专家的建议:尤其在飞机起降期间禁止使用这些电子设备。不同的航空公司也采取了不同的对策。最后,文章指出由于飞机易受到电磁的干扰,这一点也可能被恐怖分子所利用,也可能被粗心的乘客忽视。由此可见,C “一种飞机可能坠毁的原因”是正确答案。根据第二段最后一句中的"although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take
