Question

Doctor 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”.

【解析】

试题分析: 本文通过作者介绍自己当飞行员的经历，从中学到了CRM，并运用到自己的工作中

1.B细节理解题。根据第一段：根据第一行Doctors are known to be terrible pilots. They don’t listen because they already know it all.可知，作者总体上认为doctors不喜欢倾听，他们认为他们自己什么都懂，故选B。

2.A细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句："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.可知，作者在经历了一次飞行给上级提出了意见之后，对CRM有了更深的理解，故选A。

3.D细节理解题。根据第二段的We need to put the landing gear down now可知，作者提出的降下起落架的建议，使飞机安全着陆；keep sb from doing阻止某人做某事，这里用的是landing gear up，是相反的情况，言外之意，作者希望有人能够勇敢提出意见，以避免发生危险的事情。划线部分指的是危险的事情，故选D。
