本周的主题是各种飞机：planes（美式英语airplane / 英式英语aeroplane 的简略写法，就像bicycle,一般都说成bike)

那文中都提到了哪些飞机相关的呢？

jet/jet plane 喷气式飞机

seaplane 水上飞机

helicopter/chopper 直升机

cargo/transport plane运输机

control tower 控制塔

runway 跑道

补充一些小知识：

目前，美军的机种代号主要有:A-攻击机，B-轰炸机，C-运输机，E-电子设备机（包括雷达警戒、电子对抗、空中指挥和空中通信等），F-战斗机，H-直升机，K-空中加油机，S-反潜机，R-侦察机等。使用序号采用阿拉伯数字，写在机种代号之后，一般用来表示使用或设计的顺序。如F-14表示设计代号为14的战斗机，B-70表示设计代号为70的轰炸机。这些机种代号分别指什么呢？

A- attacker 攻击机/强击机

B- bomber 轰炸机

C- cargo plane 运输机

E- electronic plane电子设备机

F- fighter jet 战斗机

H- helicopter 直升机

K- air refueling tanker空中加油机

S- anti-submarine plane 反潜机

R- reconnaissance plane侦察机

T- trainer 训练机

无人机：

drone/UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)

以下是正文。先通读一遍，看能读懂多少。通读之后猜测句子生词的意思，最后再查词典看是否和猜测相近，以锻炼阅读理解～
