Question

  Doctor are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all. I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn't realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather. I learned about crew resource management (機組資源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.

   I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot. He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilot - and my boss - so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, "We need to put the landing gear down now!" That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I've used it in the operating room ever since.

CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn't overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I'm in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they're not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from ”landing gear up”.

36. What does the author say about doctors in general?

A. They like flying by themselves.

B. They are unwilling to take advice.

C. They pretend to be good pilots.

38. In the last paragraph” landing gear up” probably means ______.

A. following flying requirements.

B. overreacting to different opinions.

C. listening to what fellow doctors say

D. making a mistake that may cost lives

39. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.CRM: A New Way to Make Flying Safe

B. Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor

C. The Making of a Good Pilot

D. A Pilot-Turned Doctor

Answer 1

【語篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文，題材是故事。作者講述了自己把當飛行員時學會的機組資源管理理念運用到后來自己從醫(yī)的手術室中。飛行經(jīng)歷使自己成為一名更出色的醫(yī)生。

段落	關鍵詞、句	大意推測
第一部分（Para. 1）	pilots；a better surgeon；CRM ；a new idea to make flying safer；listen and speak up	總說：當飛行員時學會的機組資源管理思想使我成為一名更出色的外科醫(yī)生。
第二部分（Para. 2）	flying in bad weather ；speak up; my first real lesson; the power of CRM ; used it in the operating room	在我和一位主治醫(yī)師的一次飛行中，我在危機時刻大聲說出了“按下起降架”。這是我運用CRM的第一堂課。后來我把它運用到手術室。
第三部分（Para. 3）	encourage others to speak up; doesn't overreact; prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again; in the operating room; continue to encourage them	機組資源管理要求醫(yī)生或飛行員鼓勵別人大聲說話。同時對不同意見不要采取過激的行動，不然別人就不再說出自己的意見了。我在手術室不斷地管理別人大聲講話。

【解析】

36. B。細節(jié)理解題。難度：中等。根據(jù)文章第一段中Doctor are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all.（眾所周知，醫(yī)生是糟糕的飛行員。他們聽不進建議因為他們已經(jīng)全都知道了。）可知他們聽不進別人的意見。這和選項B一致。其他選項文章內(nèi)容沒有提到過。

37. A。細節(jié)理解題。難度：中等。根據(jù)文章第二段中的But I had to（speak up）: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, "We need to put the landing gear down now!" That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM（我們的生命處于危險之中，危機時刻我大聲地說：“我們必須按下起降架” 這是我運用CRM的第一堂課。）可知A正確。

38. D。猜測短語含義題。難度：較難。根據(jù)文章第三段中的So when I'm in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they're not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from ”landing gear up”.可以推知：當我在手術室時，我向別人征求意見和尋求幫助。有時他們不愿大聲說話。但我希望如果我不斷地鼓勵他們，有朝一日，有人就能阻止我犯以生命為代價的錯誤（landing gear down挽救了飛機和我們的命；landing gear up如果不按下起降架就會飛機失事犧牲生命）。故選D。

39. B。推測文章的標題。難度：中等。根據(jù)文章的整體內(nèi)容上看，作者采用倒敘的方法。第一段敘述故事的結果，從而引出下文的故事。而第一段中的becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon是文章的中心句，這句涵蓋了整個文章內(nèi)容，而選項B和中心句一致。所以B正確。

【難句學習】

1.It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn't overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again.

翻譯：機組資源管理理念進一步要求，當（聽到）對方不同的意見的時候，醫(yī)生不有過激的反應。這可能阻止同行醫(yī)生再次提出意見。

分析：句中that后面是一個賓語從句，賓語從句中又包含一個which引導的非限制性定語從句，which代替前面整個句子的內(nèi)容。

2.But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from ”landing gear up”.

翻譯：但我希望如果我不斷地鼓勵他們，有朝一日，有人就能阻止我犯以生命為代價的錯誤。

分析：句中that引導一個賓語從句，賓語從句中又含有一個if引導的條件狀語從句。
