参考答案：

1.C all over the world：在世界上，固定搭配。

2.D成千上万的人都在这不幸的处境中。po-sition：n.处境，状况。placed in an awkward

position：处于困窘之境地。

3.A where引导定语从句，修饰places。

4.D从上下文的意思看是“成千上万人的生命”。

5.C从语法结构看，这里需要一个定语从句，修饰lives，which在从句中作主语。

6.A attention此处的意思是“考虑，关心，照料”，不是“注意、专心”的意思，因此不用短语pay attention to或give attention to，而且此句是虚拟语气，表示和过去的事实相反，A项正确。

7.B从上下文的意思来看，这里是转折的意思，因此用but。

8.D本句的意思是“但是今天如果我们能充分利用飞机的优势的话，这种医疗援助就能更快、更容易带给这些人。”因此用介词to，表示“给予”。

9.B根据上下文含义，only if（只有）符合逻辑关系。

10.A take full advantage of：充分利用。

11.D根据句子的含义，要在名词country的前面加否定词。not一般放在助动词的后面，no一般放在名词的前面表示否定。

12.A本句含义为：没有一个国家在这方面比澳大利亚做的更好；其余选项的意思均不正确。

13.D make use of：充分利用。因为是叙述一般的事实——澳大利亚人比世界上任何国家的人都能充分利用飞机——因此用一般现在时。

14.C than any other people in the world：表示比世界上其余的任何民族；这里people指民族。比较级+than+any other+单数名词表示“比其他任何……都……”。

15.D The number of“……的数目”，为单数概念，所以动词用is。另外注意此句中否定短语

in no other country提前，所以主句用倒装。

16.B根据上下文表示的意思是average person“人均”或“平均每人”。

17.D it has been said：据说。本句含义是：据说澳大利亚人坐飞机就像其他国家人坐火车和公共汽车一样。

18.C as：如同……，引导方式状语从句。其他意义不符。

19.A therefore：adv.因此，所以，表示结果，从上文的原因得出最终的结论。

20.B develop：开发，发展。本句意为：“因此澳大利亚率先实行空中医生服务，是不会让人吃惊的。”
