题目内容
Doctors 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 (机组资源管理),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”.

1.
2.2】解析:选A。细节理解题。根据第二段第五句话He was so busy because of the bad turn,he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down.及后面的Our lives were in danger.可知,如果不是作者及时提醒,飞机及机上人员都很危险。所以选A。根据第二段第四句The attending doctor was flying;I was safety pilot.可知B项不对;根据第二段第三句The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready.可知C项不对;根据第二段第六句可知他的上司正在驾驶飞机,所以D项不对。
3.3】解析:选D。词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段最后几句So when I’m in the operating room...someday someone will keep me from “landing_gear_up”.(因此,当我在手术室里的时候,我征求其他医生的建议和帮助。有时他们不愿意发表意见。但是我希望如果我继续鼓励他们,有一天有人会阻止我“犯错误”。)可知,答案应选D。
4.4】解析:选B。主旨大意题。根据文章大意可知,作者通过一次飞行经历学会了一个道理,从而成了一名更好的医生。所以选B。
