55、 blows from the east across the Atlantic.A解析:推理判断题。从第一段可知大西洋上空特定的气流状况是影响飞机速度的重要因素。文中“The reason for the difference is an atmospheric phenomenon known as the jet(喷射) stream.”暗示了这一段的主旨。其余三项论述与文章内容不符。10The word “shoot” underlined in the 2nd passage probably means “_”Asend forBmove quicklyCcome outDgrow
