3．多项选择题答案
1. b
根据课文第3-4行The most surprising thing about it, however, is that it can land
anywhere…可以判断只有b.是正确的，it doesn’t need a runway to land on(它着陆时不需要跑道)是课文所暗示的这个飞机的令人惊奇之处。其他3个选择都不能表明这飞机的令人惊奇之处。
2. c
根据课文第7-8行…Captain Fawcett has flown passengers to many unusual places 和最后一行。。。but Captain Fawcett did not take him because the trip was too dangerous 可以看出c. will fly passengers anywhere except very dangerous places(将载运旅客去任何地方，除了非常危险的地方)是正确的结论，其他3个选择都过于片面和绝对了。
3. c
a. who is 句中修饰的词是物而不是人，因此不能用who 做关系代词；
b. whom is : whom做定语从句中的宾语，而本句需要的是做主语的关系代词；
