16.As we all know,doctors are 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"landing gear up".

解答 32-35 DCBC
32 D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第一段中的"As we all know,doctors are terrible pilots.They don't listen because they already know it all"可以判斷出,作者認為,從整體上來講,醫(yī)生并不是好的飛行員,因為他們不愿意聽別人的建議.故選D.
33 C 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段中的"That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM,and I've used it in the operating room ever since"可判斷出,在那次作者和他的主治醫(yī)生一起開飛機的過程中,作者通過明確表達了自己的看法而挽救那次飛行,對CRM的權利有了更好的認識.故選C.
34 B 詞義猜測題.根據(jù)最后一段中的"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…"可知,作者在開飛機的時候,希望他人能提出一些他們自己的看法,即使他們不愿意,作者還是鼓勵他們去那樣做,因為作者認為這樣有助于阻止自己犯一些錯誤,而一旦在開飛機時犯了錯誤,那飛機上的人就有可能失去生命.由此可推斷出,"landing gear up"的意思應該為"犯了一個可能會使人喪命的錯誤".故選B.
35 C 主旨大意題.根據(jù)文章內容可判斷出,本文主要講述的是,作者通過自己的經歷來說明一件事:作者先成為了一位飛行員,更好地認識到了CRM的力量,使其以后成為了一名更好的醫(yī)生.C項意為"飛行使我成為了了一名更好的醫(yī)生",體現(xiàn)了本文的中心,故選C.
