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.
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.
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 (綜合癥). 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】：
71.A call有召喚、召集之意。在飛機(jī)上有人生病了，就要call a doctor。其他幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)，address指“稱呼某人”，inform是“告訴”的意思，而survey則指“調(diào)查”，都不符合文意。
72.A 此題考查詞匯和上下文理解。飛機(jī)上有人突然暈倒是一件突發(fā)事件，即事故，所以，此題選擇accident。incident指“事件”，disaster指“災(zāi)難”，用在這里，言過(guò)其實(shí)。
73.D 此題考查上下文理解。這種事情發(fā)生的頻率到底有多高呢?作者感到很好奇。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，只有how often連起來(lái)表示頻率。故選D。
74.A 此題考查詞匯和上下文理解。經(jīng)觀察，四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都加了“ed”表示被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。A、B、C、D選項(xiàng)的意思分別是“面對(duì)”、“對(duì)待”、“識(shí)別”、“假設(shè)”。作者由文章開頭的小事故聯(lián)想到如果真在半空中遇到嚴(yán)重的醫(yī)療事故，那自己將怎樣面對(duì)。根據(jù)文意，此處應(yīng)選confronted。
75.B 此處考查詞組的固定搭配access to——“有權(quán)使用、接近”。作者想知道在沒(méi)有醫(yī)院醫(yī)護(hù)人員和緊急醫(yī)療設(shè)備的情況下如何應(yīng)對(duì)突發(fā)醫(yī)療事故。
76.C 此題考查上下文連接。文意表達(dá)的是：“當(dāng)上周的醫(yī)療周刊登出了關(guān)于機(jī)上醫(yī)療事件的研究時(shí)，我懷著巨大的興趣去讀了?！彼裕@里選when。
77.D 參照上文，“周刊”最可能發(fā)出的動(dòng)作應(yīng)該是“出版”。故選published。
78.C 本題要表達(dá)“帶著興趣”，伴隨用with。
79.B 此處考查上下文理解。作者查出了美國(guó)平均每天機(jī)上突發(fā)醫(yī)療事件的次數(shù)，而數(shù)據(jù)統(tǒng)計(jì)一般都會(huì)用平均數(shù)字來(lái)說(shuō)明問(wèn)題。所以，這里選average。其他選項(xiàng)，a sum of、an amount of、a number of分別表示“一筆”、“一些”(后加不可數(shù)名詞)、“一些”(后加可數(shù)名詞)。
80.D 病痛嚴(yán)重與否用serious表達(dá)。所以，這里選serious。
81.C 此處答案需從后文查找。能使飛行員改變航道的病與輕微的暈厥進(jìn)行對(duì)比，所以這里的連詞是but。
82.A 此處重點(diǎn)考查詞匯的細(xì)微區(qū)別。inspire(鼓舞)和encourage(鼓勵(lì))顯然不符合要求;require(要求)常用于按照規(guī)定、慣例、環(huán)境等提出的要求去做某事;command(命令)多指上級(jí)對(duì)下級(jí)或某人有權(quán)力命令某人做某事。根據(jù)原文的意思，機(jī)上有重病患者，這種情況要求飛行員改變航向，挽救生命。因此，選擇D答案。
83.A 作者在此處舉例說(shuō)明了什么病是嚴(yán)重的突發(fā)病。這里的空缺結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知，表達(dá)“包括”的概念。contain指“容納、包含”，只有include最符合題意。
84.D 此題考查上下文理解。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)意思是：enjoyable(輕松愉快的)、stimulating(刺激的)、tedious(乏味的)、stressful(壓力大的)。從下文可知，飛機(jī)要飛到海拔5000-8000英尺，這個(gè)過(guò)程并不是輕松愉快的，既能引發(fā)病痛，也絕不是乏味的這樣簡(jiǎn)單，所以，這里要選擇stressful。
85.B此處考查疑問(wèn)代詞。原文意思為：“對(duì)于初乘航班者，高空里機(jī)艙壓力相當(dāng)于生活在海拔5000-8000英尺高度的氣壓?！眞hat 指代 pressures，故選B。
86.C 此題考查上下文理解和詞匯。從下文可知，此處與有心臟病的乘客乘坐飛機(jī)進(jìn)行對(duì)比。意即，大多數(shù)健康的人能輕松應(yīng)付。選擇easily。
87.B 參照上文。由于此文是一個(gè)客觀描述，所以，心臟病患者乘客在缺氧情況下應(yīng)該“可以/可能感到胸痛”。選may。
88.D 前文中提到chest pains，所以這里應(yīng)該用另外一種(another)，故選D。
89.A 選A——無(wú)論發(fā)生什么。
90.C 此題考查固定搭配at least。
