The study estimated that there are a(n) __9__ of 30 in-flight medical emergencies on U.S. flights every day.

　　1.語境題.本題的解答有賴于對(duì)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(gè)到過很多地方的醫(yī)生,我在飛機(jī)上花費(fèi)了很多時(shí)間,聽到了那樣的可怕的事情"飛機(jī)上有醫(yī)生嗎?".而第二句是講自己曾經(jīng)經(jīng)歷過一次這樣的事情.作者作為醫(yī)生,是被叫到去救人的.所以考察四個(gè)選項(xiàng),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(jīng)歷的那件事,考察四個(gè)選項(xiàng),可知應(yīng)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(dá)的影響,只要分析上下文的語態(tài),就可以排除condition.

　　3.語境題.本題首先應(yīng)該明確四個(gè)選項(xiàng)詞匯各表示什么.how soon指在多長時(shí)間之后,how long指多長的時(shí)段,how many值數(shù)量的多少,how often指事情發(fā)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(jù)中文表達(dá)習(xí)慣,可以確定應(yīng)該選擇how often,意思為這樣的事情多長時(shí)間會(huì)發(fā)生一次.

　　4.詞匯搭配題.本題所填入的詞匯須滿足兩個(gè)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(yīng)該選擇confront.confront with的意思為使面臨, 使面對(duì),本句意思為當(dāng)遇到這樣的半空中的醫(yī)療事故.

　　5.詞匯搭配題.本題考查access與介詞構(gòu)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(yī)護(hù)人員和通常的急救設(shè)備的情況下.

　　6.語境題.對(duì)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(shí)間狀語,所以應(yīng)該選擇when.

　　注意在引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句時(shí)when和while的區(qū)別.when，while都有“當(dāng)……時(shí)候”的意思.when既可表示某一點(diǎn)時(shí)間,也可以表示某一段時(shí)間.在when引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句中,其謂語動(dòng)詞可以是延續(xù)性的,也可以是非延續(xù)性的,可與主句中的謂語動(dòng)詞同時(shí)發(fā)生,也可在其后發(fā)生.while只能表示某一段時(shí)間,不能表示某一點(diǎn)時(shí)間.在while引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句中,其謂語動(dòng)詞只能是延續(xù)性的,而且也只能與主句中的謂語動(dòng)詞同時(shí)發(fā)生或存在.另外,when和while的區(qū)別還在于：while引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句多用進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài),而when引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句多用一般時(shí)態(tài).

　　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(yīng)該選擇含有發(fā)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(guān)系.

　　9.語境題.本題的解答有賴于對(duì)本句話理解,注意到本句中的estimate和every day,并且考察四個(gè)選項(xiàng)后,可知應(yīng)該選擇average,即平均每天有三十個(gè)空中醫(yī)療事件發(fā)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(dāng)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(jīng)常發(fā)生的疾病.由此可知這些醫(yī)療時(shí)間都是不太嚴(yán)重的,由此可以確定第十題應(yīng)該選serious.

　　11.語境題.本題主要考察兩個(gè)句子之間的邏輯關(guān)系,需要綜合考慮上下文.上句中說他們中的大部分都不嚴(yán)重,下一句又說他們中的13%嚴(yán)重到要求飛行員改變航線.由此可以確定兩句話之間是轉(zhuǎn)折的關(guān)系,應(yīng)該選擇but.

　　12.詞匯搭配題.本題所填入的詞匯需要滿足連個(gè)條件,首先可以構(gòu)成*(動(dòng)詞) 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(gè)選項(xiàng).require比comm and的語氣要弱,require只是要求,而 command含有命令的意思,對(duì)于如此緊急的時(shí)間,應(yīng)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(yīng)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(dāng)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(jī)艙內(nèi)的壓力就會(huì)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(guān)系代詞,分析可知從句的先行詞為they,由此可知應(yīng)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(gè)分句的意思是相反的.后面將由心臟病的乘客會(huì)由于其血液中的含氧量的降低而發(fā)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(yīng)對(duì)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(gè)選項(xiàng),確定應(yīng)該選擇used to,意思為過去習(xí)慣于…,過去經(jīng)�！� .

　　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(gè)選項(xiàng),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(gè)常見問題是所謂的經(jīng)濟(jì)艙綜合癥,再分析本句話__19__ happens, don’t panic....發(fā)生,都不要恐慌.句中的__19__ happens為讓步狀語.由于此處為特指經(jīng)濟(jì)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(yīng)該選擇at least,表示至少.
