As a physician who travels quite a lot, I spend a lot of time on planes listening for that dreaded “Is there a doctor on board?” announcement. I’ve been 16 only once — for a woman who had merely fainted. But the 17 made me quite curious about how 18 this kind of thing happens. I wondered what I would do if 19 with a real midair medical emergency — without access 20 a hospital staff and the usual emergency equipment. So 21 the New England Journal of Medicine last week 22 a study about in-flight medical events, I read it 23 interest.
The study estimated that there are a(n) 24 of 30 in-flight medical emergencies on U.S. flights every day. Most of them are not 25 ; fainting and dizziness are the most frequent complaints. 26 13% of them — roughly four a day — are serious enough to 27 a pilot to change course. The most common of the serious emergencies 28 heart trouble, strokes, and difficulty breathing.
Let’s face it: plane rides are 29 . For starters, cabin pressures at high altitudes are set at roughly 30 they would be if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Most people can tolerate these pressures pretty 31 , but passengers with heart disease 32 experience chest pains as a result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood. 33 common in-flight problem is deep venous thrombosis — the so-called economy class syndrome (综合症). 34 happens, don’t panic. Things are getting better on the in-flight-emergency front. Thanks to more recent legislation (立法), flights with at 35 one attendant are starting to install emergency medical kits to treat heart attacks.

【解析】
试题分析：
1.call有召唤、召集之意。在飞机上有人生病了，就要call a doctor。其他几个选项，address指“称呼某人”，inform是“告诉”的意思，而survey则指“调查”，都不符合文意。选A
2.此题考查词汇和上下文理解。飞机上有人突然晕倒是一件突发事件，即事故，所以，此题选择accident。incident指“事件”，disaster指“灾难”，用在这里，言过其实。选A
3.此题考查上下文理解。这种事情发生的频率到底有多高呢?作者感到很好奇。四个选项中，只有how often连起来表示频率。故选D。
4.此题考查词汇和上下文理解。经观察，四个选项都加了“ed”表示被动语态。A、B、C、D选项的意思分别是“面对”、“对待”、“识别”、“假设”。作者由文章开头的小事故联想到如果真在半空中遇到严重的医疗事故，那自己将怎样面对。根据文意，此处应选confronted。选A
5.此处考查词组的固定搭配access to——“有权使用、接近”。作者想知道在没有医院医护人员和紧急医疗设备的情况下如何应对突发医疗事故。选B
6.此题考查上下文连接。文意表达的是：“当上周的医疗周刊登出了关于机上医疗事件的研究时，我怀着巨大的兴趣去读了。”所以，这里选when。选C
7.参照上文，“周刊”最可能发出的动作应该是“出版”。故选published。选D
8.本题要表达“带着兴趣”，伴随用with。选C
9.此处考查上下文理解。作者查出了美国平均每天机上突发医疗事件的次数，而数据统计一般都会用平均数字来说明问题。所以，这里选average。其他选项，a sum of、an amount of、a number of分别表示“一笔”、“一些”(后加不可数名词)、“一些”(后加可数名词)。选B
10.病痛严重与否用serious表达。所以，这里选serious。D
11.此处答案需从后文查找。能使飞行员改变航道的病与轻微的晕厥进行对比，所以这里的连词是but。选C
12.此处重点考查词汇的细微区别。inspire(鼓舞)和encourage(鼓励)显然不符合要求;require(要求)常用于按照规定、惯例、环境等提出的要求去做某某人做某事。根据原文的意思，机上有重病患者，这种情况要求飞行员改变航向，挽救生命。选A
13.作者在此处举例说明了什么病是严重的突发病。这里的空缺结合选项可知，表达“包括”的概念。contain指“容纳、包含”，只有include最符合题意。选A
14.此题考查上下文理解。四个选项意思是：enjoyable(轻松愉快的)、stimulating(刺激的)、tedious(乏味的)、stressful(压力大的)。从下文可知，飞机要飞到海拔5000-000英尺，这个过程并不是轻松愉快的，既能引发病痛，也绝不是乏味的这样简单，所以，这里要选择stressful。选D
15.此处考查疑问代词。原文意思为：“对于初乘航班者，高空里机舱压力相当于生活在海拔5000-000英尺高度的气压。”what 指代 pressures，故选B。
16.此题考查上下文理解和词汇。从下文可知，此处与有心脏病的乘客乘坐飞机进行对比。意即，大多数健康的人能轻松应付。选择easily。选C
17.参照上文。由于此文是一个客观描述，所以，心脏病患者乘客在缺氧情况下应该“可以/可能感到胸痛”。选may。选B
18.前文中提到chest pains，所以这里应该用另外一种(another)，故选D。
19.选A——无论发生什么。
20.此题考查固定搭配at least。至少，选C
考点：考查夹叙夹议类完型
点评：本文讲述了作者由文章开头的小事故联想到如果真在半空中遇到严重的医疗事故，那自己将怎样面对。从而引发的思考。从选项中可以看出，本大题主要还是考查了词汇的辨析与运用，但更加注重综合语言能力的运用，需要根据故事情节，了解词汇用法的同时，结合语境，做出准确的判断。

Should parents ever hit their children?
Research suggests many of us are likely to respond “no”, and public support for spanking(打屁股) has been falling over the years. But surverys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit to spanking their child at least once.
I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect, and my parents often turned to physical punishment. And, no, I don’t feel I was damaged by it.
Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children.
But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn’t the answer.
Two years ago, Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents used physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive.
Murray Straus, professor at the University of New Hampshire in America, has studied the topic of children and spanking for decades. He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers(同等的人). It may be that children with lower IQqs were more likely to get spanked, but the punishment may have been counterpoductive(反作用的) to their mental development, as well.
Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks(用巴掌打) on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefit.
Last year, Marjorie Gunnoe, a psychologist at Calvin College, studied teens who have never spanked. There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physi punished. Gunnoe’s research suggests they don’t turn out any better than those who were sometimes spank.
There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers(脾气). But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline without ever turning to physical puishment.
According to the first three paragraphs, the author was probably hit by her parents when .
A．they were dissatisfied with her grade
B．she showed no respect for the elder
C．they cannot control their temper
D．their discipline turns out to be not strict enough
According to Murray Straus, children who are physically punished .
A．are less aggreesive toward others when they get older
B．have slower physical development
C．benefit from occasional spanking
D．may develop lower IQs than their peer
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?
A．40 percent of children grow up without ever being spanked
B．Children who suffer less physical punishment are better students
C．Occasional open-handed spanking on the bottom are mentally harmful
D．Researchers disagree over whether smacking is mentally harmful to children
The author seems to agree that .
A．parents should determine whether a child needs to be smacked or not
B．children who have been spanked tend to behave better than those who haven’t
C．good parents discipline their children in a fair and reasonable way
D．physical punishment should be the last resort of any parent
