Question

【题目】

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 ides 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”.

Answer 1

【答案】【1】 B

【2】 A

【3】 D

【4】 B

【解析】作者通过自己做飞行员的经历告诉我们在必要的时候要勇于发表自己的观点,尤其是医生和飞行员,这样才能避免事故。

【1】推理判断题。根据文章第一段第一、二句可知,通常,医生不愿意听他人的建议。故选B。

【2】推理判断题。第一段告诉我们作者了解了CRM；在第二段中,作者描述了自己的一次飞行经历,他大胆说出自己的想法,避免了一次飞机失事,通过这件事他对CRM有了更深刻的认识。故选A。

【3】词义猜测题。根据第二段的We need to put the landing gear down now可知,飞机在着陆时,要放下起落架(put the landing gear down),否则就会出事故。由此可知,此处的landing gear up指起落架收起,表示无法正常着陆,这样就会出事故。故选D。

【4】主旨大意题。作者在第二段中讲述了他在一起飞行事件中的经历和从中得到的教训,即不论职位高低,在必要的时候要勇于发表自己的观点。作者将这一经验应用到手术室中,在手术室中咨询他人的意见并鼓励他人发表意见,从而使他成为一个更好的医生。B项“飞行使我成为一个更好的医生”符合题意，故选B项。
