1.語境題.本題的解答有賴于對上下文的理解.文章開頭的第一句是主題句,意思是作為一個到過很多地方的醫生,我在飛機上花費了很多時間,聽到了那樣的可怕的事情飛機上有醫生嗎?.而第二句是講自己曾經經歷過一次這樣的事情.作者作為醫生,是被叫到去救人的.所以考察四個選項,call是做合適的.
2.語境題.分析上下文可知,該題所填入的詞是指上一句中我經歷的那件事,考察四個選項,可知應該選accident,其意思為事故,意外的事情.本題有可能誤選condition,這是由于受到中文表達的影響,只要分析上下文的語態,就可以排除condition.
3.語境題.本題首先應該明確四個選項詞匯各表示什么.how soon指在多長時間之后,how long指多長的時段,how many值數量的多少,how often指事情發生的頻率.在分析本句話how __3__ this kind of thing happens.由this kind of thing可以首先排除how many,再根據中文表達習慣,可以確定應該選擇how often,意思為這樣的事情多長時間會發生一次.
4.詞匯搭配題.本題所填入的詞匯須滿足兩個條件,首先可以和介詞with搭配,其次符合上下文的意思.由此可以確定應該選擇confront.confront with的意思為使面臨, 使面對,本句意思為當遇到這樣的半空中的醫療事故.
5.詞匯搭配題.本題考查access與介詞構成短語的意思的辨析.由此可以確定正確答案為access to,意思為接近;通向的入口.本句話的意思為在沒有醫護人員和通常的急救設備的情況下.
6.語境題.對本題所在的句子完整分析后,前半句話在句中作狀語,并且是做時間狀語,所以應該選擇when.
注意在引導時間狀語從句時when和while的區別.when，while都有當時候的意思.when既可表示某一點時間,也可以表示某一段時間.在when引導的時間狀語從句中,其謂語動詞可以是延續性的,也可以是非延續性的,可與主句中的謂語動詞同時發生,也可在其后發生.while只能表示某一段時間,不能表示某一點時間.在while引導的時間狀語從句中,其謂語動詞只能是延續性的,而且也只能與主句中的謂語動詞同時發生或存在.另外,when和while的區別還在于：while引導的時間狀語從句多用進行時態,而when引導的時間狀語從句多用一般時態.
7.詞匯搭配題.分析本句話,the New and Journal of Medicine last week __7__ a study about in flight medical events.其主語為the New England Journal of Medicine,賓語為a study,由此可以確定應該選擇含有發布意思的publish.
8.詞匯搭配題.本題考查固定搭配with interest,其意思為有興趣地,帶利息,通過某種關系.
9.語境題.本題的解答有賴于對本句話理解,注意到本句中的estimate和every day,并且考察四個選項后,可知應該選擇average,即平均每天有三十個空中醫療事件發生.
10.語境題.本題乍一看并不知道所填入的形容詞到底是什么,但當看到下一句后就可以確定答案.fainting and dizziness are the most frequent complaints,其意思為昏厥和頭昏是最經常發生的疾病.由此可知這些醫療時間都是不太嚴重的,由此可以確定第十題應該選serious.
11.語境題.本題主要考察兩個句子之間的邏輯關系,需要綜合考慮上下文.上句中說他們中的大部分都不嚴重,下一句又說他們中的13%嚴重到要求飛行員改變航線.由此可以確定兩句話之間是轉折的關系,應該選擇but.
12.詞匯搭配題.本題所填入的詞匯需要滿足連個條件,首先可以構成 sb.to do sth.,其次還要符合上下埃文的意思.由此首先可以排除B和C兩個選項.require比comm and的語氣要弱,require只是要求,而 command含有命令的意思,對于如此緊急的時間,應該選用command.
13.語境題.分析本句話The most common of the serious emergencies __13__ heart trouble, strokes,and difficulty breathing.前面總述the serious emergencies,后面是分述幾種疾病,由此可以確定應該選擇include,其意思為含有,包括.
14.語境題.本題乍一看并不知道所填入的形容詞到底是什么,但當看到下一句后就可以確定答案.下文中講如果你在高于海平面5000到8000英尺的地方機艙內的壓力就會粗暴的襲擊他們自己.由此可以判斷出前面所填入的形容詞是stressful,意思為有壓力的,急迫的.
15.語境題.本題考查定語從句的關系代詞,分析可知從句的先行詞為they,由此可知應該選擇who.
16.語境題.本題的解答需要考查下一句話.由下句話開頭的but可知,前后兩個分句的意思是相反的.后面將由心臟病的乘客會由于其血液中的含氧量的降低而發病,說明這些心臟病人很難忍受這種壓力.由此可以推斷出正常人可以很輕松的應對這種壓力,由此可知正確答案為easily.
17.詞匯搭配題.分析可知,本句話中的主語passengers with heart disease __17__ experience chest pains.其中心語為passengers,其后為其定語,由experience并考察四個選項,確定應該選擇used to,意思為過去習慣于,過去經常 .
18.詞匯搭配題.分析本句話__18__ common in-flight problem is deep venous thrombosis.注意到句中的problem和is,考察四個選項,首先可以排除any,由于前面沒有one,所以可以排除other和 another.所以正確答案為one.
19.語境題.前面句子講在飛行中的一個常見問題是所謂的經濟艙綜合癥,再分析本句話__19__ happens, dont panic....發生,都不要恐慌.句中的__19__ happens為讓步狀語.由于此處為特指經濟艙綜合癥所以可以排除whatever,所以可以確定正確答案為whenever.
20.語境題.分析本句話flights with at __20__ one attendant are starting to install emergency medical kits to treat heart attacks.注意到句中的one attendant,由此可以確定應該選擇at least,表示至少.
