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, 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".
单选题31.What does the author say about doctors in general?
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】信息推断题。由第一段“Doctors are known to be terrible pilots.They don’t listen because they already know it all.”可知,作者认为医生一般都不愿意听取意见,故选B。
单选题32.The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when______.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】信息推断题。文中第二段首句提到“I first read about CRM in 1980.”这是作者首次接触CRM,此后不久,在一次飞行事故中,作者的老板在操作飞机降落时忘记把起落架放下来,这时作者向老板提出“我们现在需要把起落架放下来”,从而拯救了机组成员。这个事件让作者对CRM有了更深刻的认识,故选A。
单选题33.In the last paragraph "landing gear up" probably means______.
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】语义推断题。“landing gear”在文中给出了中文释义,意为“起落架”,“landing gear up”意为“把起落架收起来”,结合该词组在文中出现的语境,可以知道在飞机降落时把起落架收起来是有生命危险的,所以keep me from landing gear up即让我避免犯此类会带来生命危险的错误。
单选题34.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】主旨大意题。文中第一段提到,“but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon”,在第二段中作者讲述了其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,在必要的时候需要勇于发言,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,所以B项正确。
