Mr. Smith moved to another town, and soon he needed a new doctor. He went to see one. He sat down in the waiting-room and looked around. The doctor degree was on the wall. Suddenly Mr. Smith remembered: there had been a classmate with the same name in his class at school, and he had become a doctor! When he went in to see the doctor, he remembered a young, handsome (英俊的) student, and was sorry to see how old and heavy this man looked. He said to him, "Good morning, doctor. Did you go to King High School?" "Yes, I did." "Were you there from 1942 to 1946?" Mr. Smith asked. "Yes, I was," the doctor answered. "How did you know?" Mr. Smith laughed and said, "You were in my class!" "Oh!" the doctor said and looked at him carefully for a few second. "What were you teaching?/
单选题
Why did Mr. Smith need a new doctor? A. Because he visited another town. B. Because he went to live in another town. C. Because he went away from a town.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】文章第一句话:Mr. Smith moved to another town, and soon he needed a new doctor. 告诉了我们史密斯先生需要找个新大夫,原因是他搬到了另一个镇。所以选B。选项A中visit是参观、访问的意思,只会在另一个镇作片刻停留,不符合原文表达的含义。选项C的意思是“因为他离开了一个镇”,也没具体说明离开时间的长短,这也不是他需要新大夫的原因,是个干扰项。
单选题
What did he feel when he found the doctor was old and heavy? A. He felt happy. B. He felt surprised. C. He felt sorry.
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】这是一道细节题。从文章第二段,我们知道在史密斯的记忆里,这个医生年轻英俊。因此当他看到眼前的医生又老又胖时,他感到很难过,难以接受(...and was sorry to see how old and heavy this man looked.)。所以选择c。选择A与正确答案全然相反。选项B“他感到惊奇”也不正确,全文并没有任何文字表明他惊奇,因此B也应排除掉。
单选题
Who was (were) in King High School from 1942 to 1946? A. Only the doctor. B. Only Mr. Smith. C. Both of them.
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】阅读全文后,我们知道史密斯猜测这位医生是他中学的同班同学,为了证实自己的猜测,他问医生在King High School就读过吗?医生给以肯定的回答。史密斯就接着追问医生是下是1942~1946年在该校就读。到此为止,史密斯可以断定医生就是他的同班同学。我们也可以得到答案,他们二人从1942~1946年,都在那所学校读书。
单选题
The doctor thought Mr. Smith was ______ in King High School. A. his teacher B. his classmate C. his friend
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】这是一道推断题。史密斯告诉医生:You were in my class. 史密斯的本意是“你和我是同学”。但医生理解错了,他问史密斯是教哪门课的老师(What were you teaching?)。由此我们可以推断,医生以为史密斯的意思是“你在我的班上”(即你是我的一个学生)。所以选A。
单选题
The doctor thought Mr. Smith was ______. A. as old as he B. older than he C. a little younger than he
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】这也是一道推断题,要求我们读出言外之意。医生误解了史密斯的意思,以为史密斯所说的“You were in my class.”是指“你在我的班上”。之所以有这样的误解,一定是在医生眼里,史密斯更老,比自己还老。所以选择B。
