Question

【題目】There once lived in China a very foolish king and queen. One day the queen had a baby daughter. When they saw their baby, they both cried out, "My goodness! How small it is! It's hairless and toothless! It's a monster!" They sent for all the doctors in the country and ordered them to prepare some medicine for her.

"When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth," the king said, "If you don't do this, you'll have a beating."

The doctors thought it impossible, but they dared not say anything against the king's order. Just then and old doctor stepped forward. "Oh, we shall certainly obey your order," he said, "but it takes time. We have to dig a mineral(礦石) from the KunLun Mountains when the snow melts for the second time. The snow melts on those mountains only once in six years. So we need twelve years."

At last the king agreed and the doctors took away the little princess. On her twelfth birthday, they brought her back to her parents with long black hair and beautiful teeth. The king and queen were very happy and gave the doctors expensive presents.

【解析】

試題文章主要描述了一對愚蠢的國王夫婦，因為不懂生理常識，鬧出的一個笑話。其實這些醫(yī)生什么都沒做，他們需要的只是時間。

【1】判斷正誤題。根據(jù)文中句子When they saw their baby, they both cried out, "My goodness! How small it is! It's hairless and toothless! It's a monster!" 這個嬰兒沒有牙齒，沒有頭發(fā)，身體很小，但對于剛出生的嬰兒來說這是正�，F(xiàn)象，故C答案錯誤。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的句子"When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth," the king said, "If you don't do this, you'll have a beating."可知，如果醫(yī)生拒絕遵從國王的命令他們將會被打。故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)常識可推斷，剛出生的嬰兒長出頭發(fā)和牙齒需要時間的，因此推斷這位老醫(yī)生想要養(yǎng)國王的女兒12年是因為需要給嬰兒時間長大。故選C。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段可推斷，醫(yī)生需要時間，因為他們認(rèn)為對于他們來說讓孩子立刻長出牙齒和頭發(fā)是不可能。故選D。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段可推斷，國王看到女兒長大了，長出了長長的黑發(fā)和美麗的牙齒，于是很高興給了醫(yī)生們許多昂貴的禮物，因此推斷如果他們的女兒12年后仍舊是一個妖怪國王不會給醫(yī)生們昂貴的禮物。故選D。
