Question

【题目】 In Jinzhong, Shanxi Province, there is a group of people who are busy drawing maps around. They are not workers on geography, but dispatchers(调度员) on Emergency(急救) Center of the city.

Since 2007, the dispatchers in the center have been drawing maps of the local areas.

“A dispatcher’s job is counted in seconds,” says Liang Ruimei, a dispatcher in the center. She has been working in the center since it started in 2007. “We must answer the phone in 3 seconds, get clear information about the patient in 60 seconds and dispatch(调度) emergency medical workers in 3 minutes at most. If we save one second, the patient may have a better chance to live.”

Although nowadays the center has electronic maps, the dispatchers still walk through the streets to draw maps by hand.

After many years’ hard work, the dispatchers keep every building and street of the city in mind. They even know whether or not a car can enter the gate of a building. Sometimes the caller can’t tell clearly where he is, but it doesn’t matter. As long as he describes the buildings around, the dispatcher can dispatch emergency medical workers to him.

“We are trying to be quicker than Death,” says Liang.

【解析】

本文介绍了在山西省晋中市有紧急救援中心的调度员。自2007年以来，中心的调度员一直在绘制当地的地图。尽管现在该中心有电子地图，但调度员仍在街上用手绘制地图。经过多年的艰苦工作，调度员把城市的每一栋建筑物和每一条街道都牢记在心。他们甚至知道一辆汽车是否能进入建筑物的大门。有时打电话的人不能清楚地知道他在哪里，但这并不重要。只要他描述了周围的建筑物，调度员就可以向他派遣急救医务人员。梁说他们正在努力做到比死亡来得快。

【1】细节理解题。题干的意思是：梁瑞梅是晋中急救中心的调度员吗？根据“A dispatcher’s job is counted in seconds,” says Liang Ruimei, a dispatcher in the center. “调度员的工作以秒计，”中心调度员梁瑞梅说。可知，梁瑞梅是晋中急救中心的调度员。所以答案为：Yes, she is.

【2】细节理解题。题干的意思是：晋中市应急中心什么时候启动的？由句子She has been working in the center since it started in 2007. 她自从2007年应急中心启动以来就开始在中心工作了。可知，晋中市应急中心是在2007年启动的。所以答案为：In 2007.

【3】细节理解题。题干的意思是：为了比死还快，晋中急救中心的调度员怎么办？根据After many years’ hard work, the dispatchers keep every building and street of the city in mind. They even know whether or not a car can enter the gate of a building. Sometimes the caller can’t tell clearly where he is, but it doesn’t matter. As long as he describes the buildings around, the dispatcher can dispatch emergency medical workers to him. 可知，他们通过手工绘制的地图记住了这个城市的每一个角落，并尽快派遣急救人员到正确的地方。所以答案为：They remember every comer of the city through hand-made maps, and dispatch emergency medical workers to the right place as soon as possible.

【4】细节理解题。题干的意思是：当调度员有电子地图时，你认为有必要用手画地图吗？为什么画？为什么不画？说明原因。如果你的答案为肯定的。就用yes来回答，说明理由。如果是否定的，就用no来回答，也要说明理由。故答案为：Yes. Because maps by hand show small facts of the city more correctly and electronic maps may not work sometimes./No. Because electronic maps are easier to use and can show the latest road situation.
