Question

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（機組資源管理）, 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 “l(fā)anding gear up”.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇文章主要講述了作者把當飛行員時學會的機組資源管理理念運用到后來自己從醫(yī)的手術(shù)室中。飛行經(jīng)歷使他自己成為一名更出色的醫(yī)生。

1.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的Doctor are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all. 眾所周知，醫(yī)生是糟糕的飛行員。他們聽不進建議因為他們以為已經(jīng)全都知道了，可知作者總體上認為doctors不喜歡傾聽，不愿意采納別人的建議。故選B。

2.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM,...可知，作者在經(jīng)歷了一次飛行，給上級提了意見拯救了飛機之后，對CRM有了更深的理解，故選A。

3.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的"We need to put the landing gear down now!"可知，在我和一位主治醫(yī)師的一次飛行中，作者在危機時刻提出的降下起落架的建議，使飛機安全著陸；從第三段中的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：當我在手術(shù)室時，我向別人征求意見和尋求幫助。有時他們不愿大聲說話。但我希望如果我不斷地鼓勵他們，有朝一日，有人就能阻止我犯以生命為代價的錯誤。keep sb from doing sth阻止某人某事，言外之意是，作者希望有人能夠勇敢提出意見，以避免發(fā)生危險的事情。故選D。

4.最佳標題。第一段中的becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon是文章的中心句。作者通過當飛行員的經(jīng)歷，學到了CRM，并運用到了自己的工作中，文章主要講的是CRM帶給作者的好處，B項，“飛行經(jīng)歷使我成為一個更好的醫(yī)生”最符合題意，故選B。

考點：人生經(jīng)歷類文章
