单选题 Long long ago, there were two men who had a very fierce quarrel. They argued for a long time, but still they couldn't settle the problem. The incident occurred one morning outside Albert Schweitzer's hospital in the African jungle. A patient who lived in the hospital had gone fishing in another man's boat without permission. He succeeded in getting a tot of fish. Finding out what the patient had done, the owner of the boat thought that he should be given all the fish that were caught. Dr. Schweitzer said to the boat owner:
"You are right because the other man ought to have asked permission to use your boat. But you are wrong because you are careless and lazy. Though you have the boat, you don't make good use of it. You merely twisted the chain of your canoe round a palm tree instead of fastening. it with a padlock. Of laziness you are guilty because you were asleep in your hut on this moonlit night instead of making use of the good opportunity for fishing."
He turned to the patient: "But you were in the wrong when you took the boat without asking the owner's permission. You were in the right because you were not so lazy as he was and you did not want to let the moonlit night go by without making some use of it."
Dr. Schweitzer divided the catch among the fisherman, the boat owner, and the hospital.

【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[分析] 本题为信息推断题。短文第一段第三句话说这场纠纷发生在他的医院外面,故D“这场纠纷发生在医院”为正确答案。A“他是那儿的法官”不对,因为他是一个医生;C“他想弄点鱼”和“他想帮那个病人的忙”文中未提及,从课文的结局看,利益均分;不存在偏袒谁的问题。
单选题 The owner of the canoe was wrong because ______.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[分析] 本题为信息明示题。文中第二段第二和第三及第四句话:“你有错,因为你懒散且粗心”,“你只是将船缆往棕榈树上一绕而未用锁系牢”,故D项正确。

【答案解析】[分析] 本题为判断题。文章最后…句说Dr. Schweitzer医生将捕获的鱼在渔民,船主和医院三者之间平分,电就是说各得三分之一,故D项正确。
单选题 Implied but not stated: ______.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[分析] 本题为逻辑推理题。一般而言,当人们自己解决不了纠纷而愿意让谁评判时,这人往往能让发生纠纷的双方信任。所以B项“当地人信任Dr. Schweitzer”为正确答案。此题还可用反推法来选择,因为A“两个人都是病人”不对,只有一个是病人;C“Dr. Schweitzer的医院在丛林里”文中已明确指出;D“小绳用船绳系牢了”与文中之意不符。
单选题 The best title for this selection is ______.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[分析] 本题为主旨题。作者记叙这件事就是想告诉读者医生判决的聪明与巧妙。A“一场纠纷”和“对与错”尽管也是文中涉及的内容,但述说他们是为了说明B项,故B为正确选项;C“小偷”与作者的立意相差甚远。
