Question

【題目】Rene Laennec was a French doctor who learned to tap on people’s chests to find out illness from an Austrian doctor named Leopold Auenbrugger. As a boy, Leopold used to tap wine【1】(contain) in his father’s inn to see how much wine they held. A full one made【2】different sound from an empty one. When he became a doctor, he 【3】 (tap) people’s chests to see how much liquid was in their lungs. Laennec did the same and learned to tell by tapping carefully on a chest 【4】it was diseased or not. But he was even more interested 【5】diseases of the heart, and he wished that he could hear heartbeats clearly. In those days, a doctor would place his head on a patient’s chest to listen, but if the patient was 【6】 (extreme) fat it was impossible to hear any heartbeat at all.

One day when Laennec 【7】(walk) in the park, he saw some girls playing with a see-saw(蹺蹺板). One of them scratched the end of the board while the others placed their ears against the other end. On walking up, the doctor was asked why the sounds travelled along the wood. “The sounds are magnified(放大), girls, er…”Suddenly he turned and rushed back to the hospital. Quickly【8】(take) some thick paper, he rolled it up like a tube and began listening to patients’ chests. He heard the heartbeats and 【9】 (they) breathing clearly. Laennec soon made a better instrument of wood, one he called a stethoscope(聽診器). Later, they 【10】 (make) of steel and rubber.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】containers

【2】a

【3】tapped

【4】whether

【5】in

【6】extremely

【7】was walking

【8】taking

【9】their

【10】were made

【解析】本文主要講了Rene Laennec發(fā)明了聽診器的過程。

【1】containers 考查名詞。這里指的是裝酒的容器，contain意為“包括”，需用它的名詞container，意為“容器”，且該句需用復(fù)數(shù)形式。故填containers。

【2】a 考查冠詞。這里指的是制造出一個不同的聲音，滿的酒瓶制造出與空的酒瓶不同的聲音，所以是表示泛指。故填a。

【3】tapped 考查時態(tài)。由句中的became可知，該句需用一般過去時，所以這里動詞需用過去式。故填tapped。

【4】whether 考查連詞。這里的意思是：他通過敲打胸部來分辨是否有疾病。所以這里填whether，意為“是否”。

【5】in 考查動詞短語。be interested in“對……感興趣”，為固定搭配。故填in。

【6】extremely 考查副詞。這里需用副詞來修飾形容詞fat，故填 extremely。

【7】was walking 考查連詞。這里表示他正在散步，故用過去進行時，需填was walking。

【8】taking 考查非謂語動詞。該句省略了主語，take與he之間是主動關(guān)系，所以需用現(xiàn)在分詞。故填taking。

【9】their 考查物主代詞。這里需用形容詞性物主代詞來修飾名詞breathing，they為人稱代詞，需用物主代詞their。

【10】were made 考查被動語態(tài)。they與take之間是被動關(guān)系，所以需用被動語態(tài)。
