. z. g/ V+ O7 G, s$ r As a physician who travels quite a lot, I spend a lot of time on planes listening to that dreaded “Is there a doctor on board?” announcement. I’ve been 71 only once—for a woman who had merely fainted. But the 72made me quite curious about how 73 this kind of thing happens. I wondered what I would do if 74 with a real midair medical emergency—without access 75 a hospital staff and the usual emergency equipment. So 76 the New England Journal of Medicine last week 77 a study about inflight medical events, I read it 78 interest. & w$ E7 t3 N" }/ O" o/ d& N. {
The study estimated that there are a(n) 79 of 30 inflight medical emergencies on U.S. flights every day. Most of them are not 80; fainting and dizziness are the most frequent complaints. 81 13% of them—roughly four a day—are serious enough to 82 a pilot to change course. The most common of the serious emergencies 83 heart trouble, strokes, and difficult breathing.
e- ^' E% o8 z: w6 ] Let’s face it: plane rides are 84.For starters, cabin pressures at high altitudes are set at roughly 85 they would be if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Most people can tolerate these pressures pretty 86, but passengers with heart disease 87 experience chest pains as result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood. 88 common inflight problem is deep venous thrombosis—the socalled economy class syndrome (综合症). 89 happens, don’t panic. Things are getting better on the inflightemergency front. Thanks to more recent legislation, flights with at 90 one attendant are starting to install emergency medical kits to treat heart attacks.

【答案解析】: ( m. d) K& e8 K3 ?( ^% ]( _
71.A 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。 $ o( }; @" _' f7 K5 ~( X+ Y
72.A 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。 3 F6 \3 f' \( z
73.D 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。
2 }2 h3 n3 i2 }; } B 74.A 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。 2 j4 F7 ?# H% P8 m% ^3 x& V- ^# ~
75.B 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。
, H8 x5 ]8 n/ @- q4 { 76.C 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。 3 C+ |" B$ G2 d9 W* s$ g7 F
77.D 参照上文,“周刊”最可能发出的动作应该是“出版”。故选published。
: B8 }" l+ t& H3 t/ L: k2 q, |8 M 78.C 本题要表达“带着兴趣”,伴随用with。 ' |3 c% S) R& H# |" B+ T" P
79.B 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)。 |
