Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
During my first seven semesters as a medical student at Gadjah Mada University in Indonesia,I spent most of my time studying in the classroom.I rarely spoke with real patients in a hospital setting.Then last year I started visiting the neurology(神经)ward at Dr.Sardjito Hospital.I was gathering data for my paper.At the hospital I would review the medical records of newly admitted stroke patients,then interview them to find out if they were taking the pill.
One cold,rainy evening last October,I was in the neurology ward desperately “hunting” for the final three patients I needed to complete my study.The records showed that there was a 43 year old stroke patient,whom I will call Ms A,in the ward.Holding a patient questionnaire,I went into her room.I asked how she was doing.She softly replied that she was getting better but the left side of her body was still weak.After I finished the questionnaire,I prepared to leave so I could go through more medical records.Before I could stand up,Ms A started making conversation,asking where I was from and why I was working so late in the evening.I was surprised someone in her condition would want to talk.
Ms A started talking about herself.She told me she had three children in primary school,who were staying with a neighbor.Her husband died a year ago and she is the sole breadwinner of her family.I didn’t know what to say.I just sat quietly while she talked.Without realizing it,I had begun holding Ms A’s hand.
The conversation went on like this for about 20 minutes.A few days later,when I returned to the ward,I discovered that Ms A had_been_discharged as her condition had improved.
Ms A taught me one of the most important lessons a doctor can learn.Sometimes patients do not need expensive medicine or state of the art technology.They just need someone with the patience and willingness to lend an ear and spare a little of their time.
1.According to the first paragraph,the author ________.
A.had already worked as a doctor
B.enjoyed talking with the patients
C.provided the patients with the pills
D.seldom visited the patients in hospital
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。第一段说作者读医学院时,前七个学期都在教室里学习,很少在医院的环境中与真正的病人说话,去年才开始在一家医院探视神经病房,并翻阅刚入院的中风病人的医疗记录,探望他们,以确保他们在服药。根据这些陈述可知选D。
2.Why did the author go into the patient room
A.The patient asked him to chat with her.
B.He wanted to accompany the patient.
C.It was his duty to take care of the patient.
D.He wanted to get some information from the patient.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。第二段说,当时“我”在病房里寻找最后的三名病人,以完成我的学业,后来,“我”拿着病人问卷表走进那个病人的房间,完成了问卷就准备走,以便去翻看更多的医疗记录。因此本题选D,他当时去病房是为了他的学业,为了从病人那里得到一些信息。
3.Which of the following is TRUE of Ms A
A.She was very familiar with the author.
B.Her husband died because of serious illness.
C.She was the only person to support her family.
D.She had to leave her children alone at home.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。从文章的叙述看,作者与这个病人并不熟(A项错误);没有说她丈夫的死因(B项错误);她有三个孩子在上小学,她是全家唯一养家糊口的人(the sole breadwinner of her family,C项正确);她住院了,孩子在邻居家(D项错误)。
4.The underlined phrase “had been discharged” in Paragraph 4 is similar in meaning to ________.
A.had been allowed to leave hospital
B.hadn’t needed to pay for her illness
C.had been recovered from her illness
D.had been happy with her health condition
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。从画线部分的后面一句看,这个病人在与我交流之后没几天就出院了。因此选A。
5.The last paragraph is intended to tell us that ________.
A.communication with patients is essential for doctors
B.expensive medicine is necessary for patients to recover
C.high technology plays an important part in curing patients
D.doctor shouldn’t gain money by promoting the medicine
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。作者从这次的经历总结出,有时候病人需要的不是昂贵的药品而是有人愿意耐心地倾听他们,因此选A,“医生与病人的交流是很重要的”。
B
There once was a master who went to India.In those times,we didn’t have the communications or airplanes or many kinds of transportation that we do now.So the master went to India on foot.He had never been to India before;perhaps he came from Persia.And when he got there,he saw a lot of fruit.In India they had plenty of fruit to sell,but much of it was expensive because they can’t grow much due to the water situation.Then he saw one basket,a big basket of some very red,long fruit.And it was the cheapest in the shop,not expensive at all.
So he went up and asked,“How much per kilo?” The shopkeeper said,“Two rupees.” Two rupees in India is nothing;it’s like dirt.So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it.But after he ate some of it:oh,my God!His eyes watered,his mouth watered and burned,his eyes were burning,his head was burning and his face became red.As he coughed and choked and gasped for breath,he jumped up and down,saying,“Ah!Ah!Ah!”
But he still continued to eat the fruit!Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said,“You’re crazy,man.Those are chilies(辣椒)!You can’t eat so many;they’re not good for you!People use them as a condiment,but only a little bit to put into food for taste.You can’t just eat them by the handful like that;they’re not fruit!” But the stupid master said,“No,I can’t stop!I paid money for them,and now I’ll eat them.It’s my money!”
You think that master was stupid,right?Similarly,we sometimes do a lot of things like that.We invest money,time or effort in a relationship,business or a job.And even though it’s been a long time,bitter experience tells us it won’t work,and we know there’s no more hope that things will change in the future—this we definitely know by intuition—we still continue just because we’ve invested money,time,effort and love into it.If so,we’re kaput(运转不正常) in the brain,just like the man who ate the chilies and suffered so much but couldn’t stop because he didn’t want to waste the money he’d paid.
So even if you’ve lost something,let it go and move on.That’s better than continuing to lose.
6.Why did the master buy the chilies to eat
A.Because he liked the taste.
B.Because they were long and red.
C.Because they cost little.
D.Because they were delicious fruit.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段后半部分可知,因为辣椒便宜他才买来吃的。
7.What happened after the master ate some of the fruit he bought
A.He jumped with joy. B.He became very angry.
C.He felt terrible. D.He began to cry.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段的描述可推知,吃了辣椒让他感到很难受。
8.We can learn from the passage that the master is ________.
A.mean B.foolish
C.economical D.poor
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But the stupid master said...”和第四段首句可知,这个人是愚蠢的。
9.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A.Bitter experience.
B.Money.
C.Hope.
D.A relationship,business or a job.
答案 D
解析 代词指代题。根据第四段第三句话并结合画线词所在的句子可知,it指代一份感情,一桩生意或一份工作。
10.Which sentence of the following best describes the writer’s idea
A.Think twice before you do.
B.Unpleasant advice is a good medicine.
C.Wealth is nothing without health.
D.What’s lost is lost.
答案 D
解析 观点态度题。根据最后一段可知,作者认为人们不应该强求已经失去的东西,失去了就失去了,要放宽心,继续自己的生活。A项表示“三思而后行”;B项表示“忠言逆耳利于行”;C项表示“失去健康,钱再多也没用”;D项表示“失去的东西已经失去了”。
