【解析】

1.因为下文叙述的是飞机上发生的事情。故用by air(=by plane)“乘飞机”。

2.喜欢坐在窗子“旁边”。

3.表示结果，与上句的looked for(表动作)相呼应。

4.从句子结构看，此空该填非谓语动词形式。seat是及物动词，意思是“使某人就座”，它与a young man是动宾关系，所以用seated，表示状态；而sit是不及物动词，它与a young man是主谓关系，要用sitting表示动作。

5.不能选A，因为arrive为不及物动词；由下文可知，他根本没坐下来，所以也不能选B；若选D，则与上句的he went towards it相矛盾。

6.in large letters是固定说法，意为“用大号字”。

7.这里该用现在分词表示伴随动作。say强调“说”的内容，而spcak则指“说”的动作，故不选D。

8.which引导定语从句，指代先行词something particularly heavy。

9.another表泛指“另一个”。

10.此处不定式to sit用作定语，应与被修饰的名词seat构成动宾关系，而sit是不及物动词，后接名词必须加上介词on。

11.try 只表示设法去做某事，而不表示是否做成；manage表示设法做成了某事。由本句末的but they also read the notice and went on得知，不选C。

12.随着情节的发展，飞机上的人越来越多，快要“满了”，所以用full。

13.enter作“进入”讲时，一般不与into连用，故不选C。

14.quickly表示“立刻行动，毫不迟延”，用于此处符合the young man的心境，也大大地增强了文章的幽默感。

15.take…off…是固定搭配，意为“把……从……拿走”。
