問題詳情

四、閱讀測驗【請在下列各題中選出最適當的答案】第一篇：Boeing executives are offering a simple explanation for why the company’s best-selling plane in the world, the737 MAX 8, crashed twice in the past several months, leaving Jakarta, Indonesia, in October and then Addis Ababa,Ethiopia, in March. Executives claimed Wednesday, March 27, that the cause was a software problem and that anew software upgrade fixes it.But this open-and-shut version of events conflicts with what diligent reporters in the aviation press haveuncovered in the weeks since Asia, Europe, Canada, and then the United States grounded the planes.The story begins nine years ago when Boeing was faced with a major threat to its bottom line, spurring theairline to rush a series of kludges through the certification process — with an under-resourced Federal AviationAdministration (FAA) seemingly all too eager to help an American company threatened by a foreign competitor,rather than to ask tough questions about the project.The specifics of what happened in the regulatory system are still emerging and despite executives’ assuranceswe don’t even really know what happened on the flights yet. But the big picture is coming into view: A majoremployer faced a major financial threat, and short-term politics and greed won out over the integrity of theregulatory system. It’s a scandal.
41. What is the writer’s attitude towards the explanations offered by the Boeing executives?
(A) Suspicious.
(B) Optimistic.
(C) Ambivalent.
