46 A 第一段是文章的引言，說的是當今有了電視和雜志這樣的媒體，名人到處可見，但是情況并非一向如此，80 年前收音機和電影才剛開始對美國人產(chǎn)生這樣的效應，也就是 才能向美國的公眾介紹宣傳Lindberg 使他成為名人。

47 D 這個空擋的前一句說的是Lindberg 在大學讀工程學位，但是飛行吸引了他的想象；其后的一句則講他自己買了飛機在各地表演空中特技，所以在中間自然應該填入他輟學并移居到 Nebraska 去學習飛行這句話。

48 F 前一句說Lindberg 參牢，在飛行員班里第一個畢業(yè)，這樣正好接上Lindbergh used this additional training to get a job as an airmail pilot，flying out of St. Louis，Missouri. 這句話。

49 B 前面一句講了 Lindberg 覺得要完成這次飛行自己的技術沒有問題，但并非任何一架飛機都能飛這么遠。所以下面就接上他找到了San Diego 的一家飛行器公司定做了一架飛機。

50 C 六個選項中只有這個選項是和他回到美國后得到的榮譽有關的。
