Doctors are known to be terrible pilots....

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.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.

D. They are quick learners of CRM.

2.The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when________.

A. he saved the plane by speaking up

B. he was in charge of a flying task

C. his boss landed the plane too late

D. his boss operated on a patient

3.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

4.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

 

1.B 2.A 3.D 4.B 【解析】 试题分析:这篇文章主要讲述了作者把当飞行员时学会的机组资源管理理念运用到后来自己从医的手术室中。飞行经历使他自己成为一名更出色的医生。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段的Doctor are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all. 众所周知,医生是糟糕的飞行员。他们听不进建议因为他们以为已经全都知道了,可知作者总体上认为doctors不喜欢倾听,不愿意采纳别人的建议。故选B。 2.细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM,...可知,作者在经历了一次飞行,给上级提了意见拯救了飞机之后,对CRM有了更深的理解,故选A。 3.细节理解题。根据第二段的"We need to put the landing gear down now!"可知,在我和一位主治医师的一次飞行中,作者在危机时刻提出的降下起落架的建议,使飞机安全着陆;从第三段中的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:当我在手术室时,我向别人征求意见和寻求帮助。有时他们不愿大声说话。但我希望如果我不断地鼓励他们,有朝一日,有人就能阻止我犯以生命为代价的错误。keep sb from doing sth阻止某人某事,言外之意是,作者希望有人能够勇敢提出意见,以避免发生危险的事情。故选D。 4.最佳标题。第一段中的becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon是文章的中心句。作者通过当飞行员的经历,学到了CRM,并运用到了自己的工作中,文章主要讲的是CRM带给作者的好处,B项,“飞行经历使我成为一个更好的医生”最符合题意,故选B。 考点:人生经历类文章

My grandpa was used to dislike television. He thought that people spent too much time watching it. A lot of his friends, therefore, always talked about the sports programs and films on it. They never read many books or go out in the evenings so he refused to buy a TV set.

Last year he was 60 and retired his job. My father bought him a TV set, said “It will make you to learn some of the latest news”. It is quite true. He has watched all the news programs. He knows far much about the world now. And he reads more books, either. In fact, he thinks he may follow one of the Open University TV course next year. Perhaps he’ll get a degree when he is 65.
