　　A

　　Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.

　　One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview.His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8：30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car，the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said，“Well，I could take you to the office for your interview. It's the least I could do. Please, I insist.” Jimmy agreed.

　　Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt.One by one, the applicants left the interviewer's office with disappointed looks on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed？” Jimmy's heart sank.“With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview？” he thought to himself.

　　Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy's surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.

　　“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office. I just know you'd be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations！” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well－deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.

　　Twenty－five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride.I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I'd been given decades earlier.I pulled over and picked him up.I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.

　　After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven't changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”

　　C2 [2016·四川卷]

　　B

　　On a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.

　　Two 12－year－old boys，Christian and Jack，rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once they'd rowed beyond the calm waters，a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore.But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.

　　Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.

　　“Everything went quiet in my head，” Tim recalls (回忆)．“I was

　　trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”

　　Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress.“At one point，I considered turning back，” he says.“I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.”After 30 minutes of struggling，he was close enough to yell to the boys，“Take down the umbrella！”

　　Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat.He took over rowing，but the waves were almost too strong for him.

　　“Let's aim for the pier(码头)，” Jack said.Tim turned the boat toward it.Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat，and it began to sink.“Can you guys swim？” he cried.“A little bit，”the boys said.

　　Once they were in the water，Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier.Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs.Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys' faces.

　　“Are we almost there？”they asked again and again.“Yes，” Tim told them each time.

　　After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.

　　35．Why did the two boys go to the

　　sea?

　　A. To go boat rowing.

　　B. To get back their football.

　　C. To swim in the open water.

　　D．To test the umbrella as a sail.

　　36．What does “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

　　A. The beach.

　　B. The water.

　　C. The boat.

　　D．The wind.

　　37．Why did Tim raise his head regularly?

　　A. To take in enough fresh air.

　　B. To consider turning back or not.

　　C. To check his distance from the boys.

　　D．To ask the boys to take down the umbrella.

　　38．How

　　did the two boys finally reach the pier?

　　A. They were dragged to the pier by Tim.

　　B. They swam to the pier all by themselves.

　　C. They were washed to the pier by the waves.

　　D．They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back.

　　【要点综述】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章描写了Tim如何从波涛汹涌的海上救出了两个遇险的孩子的故事。

　　35．B　细节理解题。根据文中的“Two 12－year－old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search a football.”可知两个12岁的男孩划着一条小船，去找足球。故选B。

　　36．D　语义猜测题。根据文中的“…a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water.The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore.But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.”可知，一把海滩伞绑在船上，风有力地刮着伞。两人惊慌失措，试图划回岸边，但他们敌不过风，然后船失去了控制。故选D。

　　37．C　推理判断题。根据文中“Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress.”可知，每500码左右，他抬起头，来判断他的进度。所以可推出他这样做是为了检测他与孩子们之间的距离。故选C。

　　38．A　推理判断题。根据文中“Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs.Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys' faces.”可知，Christian和Jack穿着救生衣脸朝上漂浮在水上，Tim带着他们朝岸边游去。故选A。即他们是由Tim拖拽到码头的。

　　[2016·新课标全国卷Ⅱ]

　　A

　　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 I 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 and 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”．

　　36．What does the author say about doctors in general?

　　A. They like flying by themselves.

　　B. They are unwilling to take advice.

　　C. They pretend to be good pilots.

　　D. They are quick learners of CRM.

　　37．The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when________．

　　A. he saved the plane by speaking up

　　B. he was in charge of a flying task

　　C. his boss landed the plane too late

　　D. his boss operated on a patient

　　38．In the last paragraph “landing gear up” probably means________．

　　A．following flying requirements

　　B．overreacting to different opinions

　　C．listening to what fellow doctors say

　　D．making a mistake that may cost lives

　　39．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

　　A．CRM：A New Way to Make Flying Safe

　　B．Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor

　　C．The Making of a Good Pilot

　　D．A Pilot－Turned Doctor

　　【要点综述】 这是一篇记叙文。医生要做飞行员会很可怕，原因是他们比较固执，不会听从别人的建议，但是通过作者的亲身经历，发现倾听很重要，提醒也很重要，这件事使作者深有感触。

　　36．B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They don't listen because they already know it all.”可以推知，医生通常不喜欢听从别人的建议。

　　37．A　细节理解题。文章第二段作者谈到自己的一次经历，联系“…I've used it in the operating room ever since.”可知，他通过提醒拯救了飞机。

　　38．D　推理判断题。上文提到，通过作者的提醒避免了一次事故，此处把landing gear up用作比喻意义，指代可能以生命为代价的犯错。

　　39．B　标题归纳题。本文通过飞行中的一个事例说明提醒和听从别人建议的重要性，所以说，飞行使作者成为一名更优秀的医生。
