1.语境题.本题的解答有赖于对上下文的理解.文章开头的第一句是主题句,意思是作为一个到过很多地方的医生,我在飞机上花费了很多时间,听到了那样的可怕的事情"飞机上有医生吗?".而第二句是讲自己曾经经历过一次这样的事情.作者作为医生,是被叫到去救人的.所以考察四个选项,call是做合适的.
2.语境题.分析上下文可知,该题所填入的词是指上一句中我经历的那件事,考察四个选项,可知应该选accident,其意思为事故,意外的事情.本题有可能误选condition,这是由于受到中文表达的影响,只要分析上下文的语态,就可以排除condition.
3.语境题.本题首先应该明确四个选项词汇各表示什么.how soon指在多长时间之后,how long指多长的时段,how many值数量的多少,how often指事情发生的频率.在分析本句话how __3__ this kind of thing happens.由this kind of thing可以首先排除how many,再根据中文表达习惯,可以确定应该选择how often,意思为这样的事情多长时间会发生一次.
4.词汇搭配题.本题所填入的词汇须满足两个条件,首先可以和介词with搭配,其次符合上下文的意思.由此可以确定应该选择confront.confront with的意思为使面临, 使面对,本句意思为当遇到这样的半空中的医疗事故.
5.词汇搭配题.本题考查access与介词构成短语的意思的辨析.由此可以确定正确答案为access to,意思为接近;通向…的入口.本句话的意思为在没有医护人员和通常的急救设备的情况下.
6.语境题.对本题所在的句子完整分析后,前半句话在句中作状语,并且是做时间状语,所以应该选择when.
注意在引导时间状语从句时when和while的区别.when，while都有“当……时候”的意思.when既可表示某一点时间,也可以表示某一段时间.在when引导的时间状语从句中,其谓语动词可以是延续性的,也可以是非延续性的,可与主句中的谓语动词同时发生,也可在其后发生.while只能表示某一段时间,不能表示某一点时间.在while引导的时间状语从句中,其谓语动词只能是延续性的,而且也只能与主句中的谓语动词同时发生或存在.另外,when和while的区别还在于：while引导的时间状语从句多用进行时态,而when引导的时间状语从句多用一般时态.
7.词汇搭配题.分析本句话,the New England Journal of Medicine last week __7__ a study about in flight medical events.其主语为the New England Journal of Medicine,宾语为a study,由此可以确定应该选择含有发布意思的publish.
