【解析】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了世界上最快的客機(jī)——協(xié)和式飛機(jī)的發(fā)展史。33年的歷史、英法聯(lián)手打造、耗資十多個億、飛行速度為音速的兩倍……無一不令人們嘆為觀止。

【1】考查動詞詞義辨析。invented發(fā)明；produced生產(chǎn)；flew飛行；bought買。本句若選invented或 produced都得用被動語態(tài)；分析句意可知此處指“它第一次飛行是在……”，因此用flew最為恰當(dāng)。故選C。

【2】考查名詞詞義辨析。plane飛機(jī)；train火車；bus公交車；car小車。前文講的就是協(xié)和式飛機(jī)。故選A。

【3】考查名詞詞義辨析。talk談話；dream夢想；meeting會議；fight戰(zhàn)斗。只有選B最符合語境，即兩個國家都有制造超音速客機(jī)的夢想，而不是“談話”、“會議”或“戰(zhàn)斗”。故選B。

【4】考查動詞詞義辨析。work工作；do做；carry搬，攜帶；finish完成。根據(jù)固定搭配work on意為“致力于……”可知A項是最恰當(dāng)?shù)倪x項。故選A。

【5】考查介詞詞義辨析。by通過；with用，和；in 在……上；about大約。由句意可知花費大約15億英鎊。故選D。

【6】考查名詞詞義辨析。voice聲音，嗓音；sound聲音；noise噪音；speech演講。聯(lián)系上文可知此處的聲速泛指普通聲音的速度，speed of sound意為“聲速”。故選 B。

【7】考查動詞詞義辨析。四個選項均有花費的意思，此處考查固定句型It takes sb. some time to do sth. 做某事花費某人多長時間。故選B。

【8】考查介詞的用法。四個選項中只有D項of可以與because構(gòu)成固定短語because of “由于”。故選D。

【9】考查形容詞詞義辨析。possible可能的；necessary有必要的；real真的，真實的；easy簡單的。根據(jù)上下文之間的聯(lián)系，可知此處表示“可能的”。故選A。

【10】考查名詞詞義辨析。doctor醫(yī)生；stranger陌生人；flight航班；airline航線。根據(jù)catch the flight “趕上航班”可知選C。

【11】考查副詞詞義辨析。later后來，以后；nearly幾乎；early早； fast快。根據(jù)句意可知應(yīng)為an hour later “一小時后”。故選A。

【12】考查代詞詞義辨析。None沒有；Each每個；Either兩者之一；Any任何，一些。根據(jù)此空需要填一個詞修飾名詞Concorde表示“每架協(xié)和式飛機(jī)”可知，只有用Each合適。故選B。

【13】考查形容詞詞義辨析。far遠(yuǎn)的；long長的；easy容易的；quick快的。根據(jù)固定短語so far “到目前為止”可知選A。

【14】考查動詞詞義辨析。build建造；make制作；sell賣；own擁有。通過上下文可知這兩個航空公司所擁有的協(xié)和式飛機(jī)最多。故選D。

【15】考查連詞詞義辨析。So因此；Or或者；And和，并且；But但是。分析語境可知前后兩句是并列關(guān)系。故選C。
