Question

There was once a professor of medicine, who was very strict with the students. Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee, the students would be in fear, because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.

    The professor began to ask. The student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of which turned out to be OK.

　　Then the professor asked about the cure (藥劑) for illness, and the student, too, answered just as right.

    “Good,” said the professor, “ and how much will you give the patient?”

    “A full spoon”, answered the student.

    “Now you may go out and wait for what you can get.”, said the professor. At the same time, the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. “ A full spoon is too much,” he thought to himself. Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, “Mr Professor, I’ve make a mistake! A full spoon is too much for a patient. He can take only five drops.”

    “I’m sorry, sir.” Said the professor coldly, “But it’s too late. Your patient has died.

【解析】

試題分析：一名醫(yī)學(xué)院的教授因嚴(yán)厲而著稱(chēng)，在他面前學(xué)生們都會(huì)緊張害怕，因?yàn)樗麄冏龀龅幕卮鸷苌贂?huì)令教授滿(mǎn)意。然而在一次考試中一名學(xué)生對(duì)問(wèn)題的回答出乎意料的得到了教授的認(rèn)可，但是正當(dāng)他沾沾自喜時(shí)，他最后一個(gè)問(wèn)題的回答卻使他與及格失之交臂。

1.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中第一段the students would be in fear, because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave.可知學(xué)生害怕這位教授的原因是他很少對(duì)學(xué)生們的答案感到滿(mǎn)意，所以答案選C。

2.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段The student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of which turned out to be OK.，可知教授認(rèn)可了這名學(xué)生對(duì)于某種疾病的描述，答案選D。

3.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容his description of which turned out to be OK.和 answered just as right.可知這名學(xué)生對(duì)于教授前面所提出的幾個(gè)問(wèn)題都做出了正確的回答，由此推斷他應(yīng)該確信自己能夠通過(guò)考試，故答案選A。

4.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由倒數(shù)第二段這名學(xué)生的話(huà)“A full spoon is too much for a patient. He can take only

five drops”可以判斷C選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容錯(cuò)誤。

5.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后“I’m sorry, sir.” Said the professor coldly, “But it’s too late. Your patient has died.可以推斷這名學(xué)生會(huì)因最后一個(gè)問(wèn)題的錯(cuò)誤回答而不能通過(guò)考試。

考點(diǎn)：考查故事類(lèi)短文閱讀。
