I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didnt
30、 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, r
31、egardless 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 forgotte
32、n to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilotand my bossso 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 Ive used it in the oper
33、ating 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 doesnt overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when Im in the operating room, I ask for ideas and hel
34、p from others. Sometimes theyre not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from“landing_gear_up”文章大意：众所周知，医生是糟糕的飞行员，但飞行使我成为好的医生。1What dose the author say about doctors in general?AThey like flying by themselves.BThey are unwilling to take a
35、dvice.CThey pretend to be good pilots.DThey are quick learners of CRM.答案：B推理判断题。根据短文最后一段一、二、三句话可知，CRM要求飞行员或医生鼓励他人说出自己的建议，甚至相反的建议，但又阻止医生有过激反应，所以他们不愿意说出自己的建议，由此可知他们是不愿意接受建议，故B项正确。2The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when _.Ahe saved the plane by speaking upBhe was in charge of a
36、flying taskChis boss landed the plane too lateDhis boss operated on a patient答案：A推理判断题。根据短文第二段倒数四句话可知，说出建议是不寻常的，但当人们处于危险时，我把不安放在一边，大胆说出自己的建议，拯救了飞机，使我加深了对CRM力量的理解。3In the last paragraph “landing gear up” probably means _.Afollowing flying requirementsBoverreacting to different opinionsClistening to w
37、hat fellow doctors sayDmaking a mistake that may cost lives答案：D词义理解题。由第二段可知，我大胆说出自己的建议，拯救了飞机，此处我希望继续鼓励他们说出建议，将来某一天会阻止犯让人丢性命的错误。4Which of the following can be the best title for the text?ACRM: A New Way to Make Flying Safe.BFlying Makes Me a Better Doctor.CThe Making of a Good Pilot.DA PilotTurned Do

When an ice sheet (冰盖)melts, it raises sea levels. It sounds simple, but scientists have debated for decades whether both the Antarctic and
39、 Greenland ice sheets actually were shrinking, and how much that melting contributed to rising sea levels. Now, a new study has provided the best evidence of how the polar ice sheets are responding to our warming world. In the study, An international team of scientists looked at 20 years of data in
40、the ice sheets collected by 10 satellite missions. The teams conclusion: The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets both are losing ice overall. The researchers also found that between 1992 and 2011, meltwater from those shrinking ice sheets caused sea levels to rise by about 11 millimeters. Over the 19
41、 years studied, the Greenland ice sheet lost 2.7 trillion metric tons of ice. The Antarctic ice sheet also shrank by about l.3 trillion metric tons. Previously, some scientists disagreed whether the Antarctic sheet, the largest mass of ice in the world, was shrinking or growing or neither. While the
42、 Earth is warming overall, the effect of climate change varies from region to region. Over the last 15 years, for example, scientists have something disagreed over how climate change has affected the polar ice sheets. Many studies found that the sheets lost a lot of ice and that not enough snow fell
43、 on the sheets to compensate for the loss. But other studies found that the loss of ice was balanced by the gain in snowfall. Richard Alley, a glacier scientist at Penn State University, said that many of those studies looked at different areas, and over different time periods. In addition, the stud
44、ies didnt all use the satellite data in the same way. Those differences made it difficult to compare the results. The data in the new study matched time periods and areas. The study also combined measurements from kinds of satellites.12. Why does the author use a common-sense phenomenon as the begin
45、ning?A. To present the reason for ice sheet melting. B. To show us the result of a scientific experiment.C. To give a simple example to introduce the topic. D. To present a common daily finding obvious to the readers.13. The researchers reached their conclusion by_.A. analyzing the findings of forme
46、r studies B. referring to the data from satellitesC. observing the Antarctic and Greenland D. making measurements in the Antarctic and Greenland14. What does the underlined phrase compensate for in paragraph 4 refer to? ACut down. BLead to CBring about. DMake up for.15. Which of the following might be the best conclusion for the passage?A. Ice sheets are shrinking due to global warming. B. People are suffering from climate change.C. Rising sea levels makes people live in danger. D.
