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 to 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 aircrafts 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 aircrafts 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] What is said about the over 100 aircraft incidents in the past 15 years?
选项
A、They may have been caused by the damage to the radio system.
B、They may have taken place during take-off and landing.
C、They were proved to have been caused by the passenger’s portable computers.
D、They were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic interference.
答案
D
解析
细节题。“在过去15年中的100多次飞行事故的可能的原因是什么”,作者在第一段指出;“In the last 15 years,pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference.”所以D为正确答案。
