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(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".

解答 32-35 DCBC
32 D 推理判断题.根据第一段中的"As we all know,doctors are terrible pilots.They don't listen because they already know it all"可以判断出,作者认为,从整体上来讲,医生并不是好的飞行员,因为他们不愿意听别人的建议.故选D.
33 C 细节理解题.根据第二段中的"That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM,and I've used it in the operating room ever since"可判断出,在那次作者和他的主治医生一起开飞机的过程中,作者通过明确表达了自己的看法而挽救那次飞行,对CRM的权利有了更好的认识.故选C.
34 B 词义猜测题.根据最后一段中的"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,作者在开飞机的时候,希望他人能提出一些他们自己的看法,即使他们不愿意,作者还是鼓励他们去那样做,因为作者认为这样有助于阻止自己犯一些错误,而一旦在开飞机时犯了错误,那飞机上的人就有可能失去生命.由此可推断出,"landing gear up"的意思应该为"犯了一个可能会使人丧命的错误".故选B.
35 C 主旨大意题.根据文章内容可判断出,本文主要讲述的是,作者通过自己的经历来说明一件事:作者先成为了一位飞行员,更好地认识到了CRM的力量,使其以后成为了一名更好的医生.C项意为"飞行使我成为了了一名更好的医生",体现了本文的中心,故选C.
