试题分析：我在幼年时，曾多次乘飞机旅行。有一次飞机刚刚起飞，突然调转头飞回了机场。一位空中乘务员告诉我们要保持镇静，飞机上的人都很着急，大家都急于想知道究竟出了什么事。 后来才知道，飞机上坐了一位非常重要的人物，有人报警说飞机上安放了一枚炸弹，飞机被彻底搜查。幸运的是，什么也没有找到。

1.1】细节理解题。根据文章第一句话可知，作者幼年时曾多次乘飞机旅行。故这句话正确。所以选A。

2.2】细节理解题。根据文章My parents used to live in South America可知，作者的父母曾经住在南美洲。故这句话不正确。所以选B。

3.3】细节理解题。根据文章第六句话可知，一位空中乘务员告诉我们要保持镇静。故这句话错误。所以选B。

4.4】细节理解题。根据文章最后一句可知，五个小时后，他们又起飞了，不是九个小时，故这句话错误。所以选B。
