Doctors 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 1 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 sand 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.
4.What does the author say about doctors in general
A.They like flying by themselves.
B.They are quick learners of CRM.
C.They pretend to be good pilots.
D.They are unwilling to take advice.
5.The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when ____.
A.his boss landed the plane too late
B.he was in charge of a flying task
C.he saved the plane by speaking up
D.his boss operated on a patient
6.In the last paragraph landing gear up probably means ______.
A.following flying requirements
B.making a mistake that may cost lives
C.listening to what fellow doctors say
D.overreacting to different opinions
7.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.CRM: A New Way to Make Flying Safe
B.A Pilot-Turned Doctor
C.The Making of a Good Pilot
D.Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor

At Phoenix Bikes, a non-profit bicycle shop and educational center, students are learning their ABCs. That stands for the air, brakes, and chain of basic bike mechanics. Phoenix Bikes sells bikes to the public at their business in Arlington, Virginia. But it also teaches teenagers how to repair bikes.
Most students at Phoenix start in its after-school “earn-a-bike program”, at middle and high schools in and around Arlington County. Once a week over a 12-week period, students learn repair skills. The first lesson is to strip the bike. By doing this, they learn all the parts of a bike.
In the first weeks, they work in small groups to repair a bike donated to the shop. The bikes often have missing or damaged parts. The finished bike is then given to a person in need from the community. Phoenix Bikes director Emily Gage said the shop partners with several local organizations to donate the bikes. Some bikes have been going to the poor in the area. In the last four weeks of the program, students come to the shop to work on one of the donated bikes which they can then take home at no cost.
Some students who finish the 12-week program go on to a higher-level bike mechanics class. Some race bikes for the shop’s racing team. And others stay to volunteer at the store and fix more bikes to give away. Jimenez-Galindo said he hopes to return to the shop to fix bikes for the community and continue to learn. What is his favorite part of the experience Just the joy, the satisfaction that I get after it’s done. That now it’s fully complete, and it’s actually a bike instead of what was a husk (空架) of one."
8.What does the “earn-a-bike program” aim to do
A.To make profits for the shop.
B.To train students for getting jobs.
C.To give away bikes to people in need.
D.To attract students to learn repair skills.
9.What does the underlined word “strip” mean in the second paragraph
A.Take apart. B.Fit together. C.Fix up. D.Test out.
10.Why does Jimenez-Galindo hope to return to the shop
A.To repair bikes for the community. B.To join the shop’s racing team.
C.To finish the 12-week program. D.To get the sense of satisfaction.
11.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A.Phoenix Bikes, a second-hand bike shop.
B.Phoenix Bikes, an unusual bike shop.
C.Phoenix Bikes, a home for bike lovers.
D.Phoenix Bikes, a great place to fix bikes.

Fatigue can actually be considered a kind of poisoning. When a muscle in our body works, it produces lactic acid. If we remove the lactic acid from a tired muscle, it is able to start working again at once!
There are other substances the body produces in the course of muscular activity. These are known as “fatigue toxins.”The blood carries these through the body, so that the muscle itself, and especially the brain feels tired.
Scientists have conducted interesting experiments on fatigue. If a dog is made to work until it is exhausted and falls asleep, and its blood is then transfused into another dog, the second dog will instantly become “tired” and fall asleep! If the blood of a wide awake dog is transfused into a tired sleeping dog, the latter will wake up at once, no longer tired!
But fatigue is not just a chemical process, it is also a biological process. We cannot just “remove"" fatigue; we must allow the cells of the body to rest. Damages must be repaired, nerve cells of the brain must be “recharged," and the joints of the body must replace used up lubricants. Sleep will always be necessary as a way of restoring our body's energy after fatigue.
Very often, the best way to make a tired body part feel fresh again is to make other parts of the body active! We can actually rest by means of activity. Activity increases the respiration(呼吸). The blood circulates faster, the glands are more active, and the waste products are eliminated from the tired part of the body. But, if you are totally exhausted, the best thing to do is sleep!
12.What does the underlined word “it" refer to in the first paragraph
A.Fatigue. B.Lactic acid C.The body. D.The tired muscle.
13.What does the author want to show by telling the experiments
A.Fatigue is a chemical process .B.Fatigue makes a dog sleepy.
C.Sleep can reduce fatigue. D.We cannot remove fatigue.
14.What might refresh yourself after a tiring walk
A.Having a blood transfusion. B.Doing upper limb movements.
C.Drinking plenty of water. D.Playing a football game.
15.In which part of a newspaper might you find this text
A.Entertainment. B.Health. C.Fashion. D.Sports.
二、七选五（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）
16、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Accents are an important part of our identity. An accent gives clues about who we are, and the community we belong to or wish to belong to. ①______.
◆What is the difference between accents and pronunciation
②______. A French person may speak English flawlessly (完美无瑕地), just with a French accent. That’s fine because there is no wrong or right with an accent. However, pronunciation is something that—as a learner—you can get right or wrong. If your pronunciation is correct, you can communicate effectively with others whatever your accent is.
◆③______
If you think back historically people were much more localized with generation after generation of families living in the same small villages and few people traveled out of that area during their lifetimes. So over many generations differences in accent emerged and became very distinct to particular areas. Mountainous villages that are not easily accessible often develop very strong and distinctive accents.
◆How important is it to get an accent right
If you’re moving to a certain part of a country, you might want to integrate better with your new community. ④______. That’s because it shows a sense of belonging to the community you are trying to fit in with.
◆How to improve your accent
Learners should first think about which sounds don’t exist in your native language. And then learners should consider which sounds exist in the language you’re learning and then spend some time in front of the mirror practicing moving your tongue and mouth to get those new and different sounds. ⑤______, which can sometimes even change the meaning of words.
A. Where does pronunciation emerge
B. They’re also important for those learning a new language
C. Try to adapt your speech to sound more interesting
D. The best way is to learn the specific accent of that region
E. Where do different types of accents come from
F. Accents are about localized ways of speaking a language
