Weneedtodevelopsystemswhichreducemistakesandmisunderstandingwithoutcausingharm.”可知,他們想建立一種在不造成傷害的情況下盡可能減少錯(cuò)誤和誤解的系統(tǒng)，而要達(dá)到這個(gè)目的，首先要讓每個(gè)人知道醫(yī)生是人類(lèi)，是有人情味的。只有病人也感覺(jué)到醫(yī)生的善良，才能減少病患之間的誤解。故選D。（4）考查觀(guān)點(diǎn)態(tài)度。全文最后三句是站在患者角度闡述這個(gè)活動(dòng)的意義。從其中的"unworried（不擔(dān)心的，不著急的）"和"relaxed（松懈的，放松的）"兩個(gè)詞可以知道，這個(gè)活動(dòng)能讓病人心情放松，病人對(duì)這一做法是很支持的。故選A?！军c(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷，詞義猜測(cè)和觀(guān)點(diǎn)態(tài)度三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科教類(lèi)閱讀，要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。4．犇犇閱讀理解TheAlexandertechnique

Asciencereport.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，登山者報(bào)告說(shuō)看到一只長(zhǎng)頸鵝翱翔在珠穆朗瑪峰的頂峰，為了確認(rèn)其真實(shí)性，研究人員養(yǎng)了18只這種鵝，在大型風(fēng)洞中訓(xùn)練它們飛行。結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)這種鵝可以在氧氣極低的情況下飛行，但停留時(shí)間只有幾分鐘，因此能否飛過(guò)珠峰尚不明確。（1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的"In1953,amountainclimberreportedseeingabar-headedgoosesoaroverthepeakofMountEverest.Itwasthoughtimpossible."報(bào)道說(shuō)，一名登山者看到一只斑頭鵝飛過(guò)珠穆朗瑪峰。人們認(rèn)為這是不可能的；以及"Nowresearcherswhoraised19ofthegeese-namedfortheblackstripesonthebacksoftheirheads-haveshownthebirdsreallyflysohigh."現(xiàn)在研究人員飼養(yǎng)了這種鵝，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)這些鵝真的飛得很高。再根據(jù)最后一段中的"Soit'snotclearwhethertheseadaptationsalonearewhatmakeitpossibletoflythe8hoursittakestoclimboverMountEverest.ButthosefewminutesshowedthesegeesereallycouldflyoverthetopofMountEverest."但是否能讓這種鵝飛8小時(shí)爬上珠穆朗瑪峰尚不清楚。由此可推斷出研究人員飼養(yǎng)這種鵝是為了證實(shí)這種鵝是否能飛過(guò)珠峰。故選B。（2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的"Thewindtunnelexperimentsshowedthatwhentheconcentrationofoxygen...thegeese'sheartrateandfrequencyofwingbeatsremainedthesameevenastheirmetabolicratedropped....theresearchersreporttodayinelife.Thiscoolinglikelyhelpscomp"可知風(fēng)洞實(shí)驗(yàn)表明，當(dāng)氧氣濃度最低時(shí)，鵝的心率和翅膀搏動(dòng)頻率保持不變，即使它們的新陳代謝率下降。研究人員今天在《伊利費(fèi)》雜志上報(bào)道說(shuō)，...這種降溫可能有助于補(bǔ)償空氣的稀??；第五段中的"Althoughwelltrained,thebirdswereonlywillingtostayintheairafewminutes-orless..."盡管訓(xùn)練有素，但這些鳥(niǎo)只愿意在空中呆上幾分鐘。這兩處綜合推斷出，鵝可以在最低濃度的氧氣中生存。故選C。（3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的"Soit'snotclearwhethertheseadaptationsalonearewhatmakeitpossibletoflythe8hoursittakestoclimboverMountEverest."可知，目前尚不清楚的是，只有這些適應(yīng)性變化能否可以飛行8小時(shí)爬上珠穆朗瑪峰。故選D。（4）考查推理判斷。第一段中提到登山者報(bào)告說(shuō)看到一只長(zhǎng)頸鵝翱翔在珠穆朗瑪峰的頂峰。為了證實(shí)是否可能，研究人員養(yǎng)了18只這種鵝，并在大型風(fēng)洞中訓(xùn)練它們飛行。結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)這種鵝可以在氧氣極低的情況下飛行，但停留時(shí)間只有幾分鐘，因此能否飛過(guò)珠峰尚不明確。由此可知本文屬于科普文章。故選D?！军c(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷題型的考查，是一篇科研類(lèi)閱讀，要求考生根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行分邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。7．閱讀理解
