24、空格后却说空姐看起来面色苍白，故推断空格处应填入“出现”含义的词，appeared“出现”符合上下文语义。present作动词用没有“出现”的含义；表达“出现”不能用show，应用show up。A.wellB.stillC.calmD.quiet解析：解析 空格前提及“她看起来脸色苍白”，but提示下文应跟上文在语义上存在转折，即她很镇定(calm)，故选C。A.inquiredB.insuredC.informedD.instructed解析：解析 空格后的that从句意为“飞行员已经”，这是告知飞行员的情况，故用informed“通知”。inquire“询问”；insure“确保”；in
