Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients who’ve come into their surgery waving an Internet print-out, convinced that they have some rare incurable disease, say, throat cancer. The truth is usually far more ordinary, though: they don’t have throat cancer, and it’s just that their throats are swollen. Being a graduate of the Internet “school” of medicine does not guarantee accurate self-health-checks.
One day Mrs. Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work. While I took her blood sample and tried to find out what was wrong, she said calmly, “I know what’s wrong;I’ve got throat cancer. I know there’s nothing you doctors can do about it and I’ve just got to wait until the day comes.”
As a matter of routine I ordered a chest X-ray. I looked at it and the blood results an hour later. Something wasn’t right. “Did your local doctor do an X-ray?” I asked. “Oh, I haven’t been to the doctor for years,” she replied. “I read about it on a website and the symptoms fitted, so I knew that’s what I had.”
However, some of her symptoms, like the severe cough and weight loss, didn’t fit with it—but she’d just ignored this.
I looked at the X-ray again, and more tests confirmed it wasn’t the cancer but tuberculosis (肺结核)—something that most certainly did need treating, and could be deadly. She was lucky we caught it when we did.
Mrs. Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure that she was fully recovered. It was certainly a lesson for her. “I’m so embarrassed,” she said, shaking her head, as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested. She listed up to about 20, and then I went to my office to type up my notes. Unexpectedly, the computer was not working, so I had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it. Typical. Maybe I should have a microwave sausage while I waited?
小题1:Mrs. Almond talked about her illness calmly because ______.
A.she thought she knew it well |
B.she had purchased medicine online |
C.she graduated from a medical school |
D.she had been treated by local doctors |

B.she had caused unnecessary trouble |
C.she had to refuse the doctor’s advice |
D.she had to tell the truth to the doctor |
A.it’s a must to take a break at work |
B.it’s vital to believe in IT professionals |
C.it’s unwise to simply rely on technology |
D.it’s a danger to work long hours on computers |
答案
小题1:A
小题2:D
小题3:B
小题4:C
解析
文章大意:夹叙夹认的记叙文。Mrs. Almond 通过网上技术,她自认为得了喉癌,而实际上是肺结核。所以我们不能单一的依赖网络。
小题1:根据文章第三段:I know what’s wrong;I’ve got throat cancer. I know there’s nothing you doctors can do about it and I’ve just got to wait until the day comes.可知,她对自己的病十分了解。
小题2:根据文章第六段第一句:I looked at the X-ray again, and more tests confirmed it wasn’t the cancer but tuberculosis可知,关键词:confirm。
小题3:根据四五六段的意思,特别是第五段:I looked at the X-ray again, and more tests confirmed it wasn’t the cancer but tuberculosis可知,Mrs. Almond 她自认为得了喉癌,而实际上是肺结核,医生为了确认病情,不得不作了一些有关喉癌的检查。所以让医生做了一些不必要的事,多忙活了一会儿。而自己深感内疚。
小题4:根据文章中Mrs. Almond 通过网上技术,她自认为得了喉癌,而实际上是肺结核。所以我们推选C。也可以根据文章最后一段:shaking her head, as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested.可理解得出。

What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn"t being "replaced". We"d been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the " new" stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what we"d lost. But not my ring. My ring was new.
Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.
Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents" when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn"t my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look. " You"ll recognize this one," she said, smiling.
Then she handed me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside. The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring. They"d had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother. And it still fits me.
小题1:The underlined word "in" in the first paragraph probably means "_____".
A.fashionable | B.available | C.practical | D.renewable |
A.13 years old | B.15 years old | C.26 years old | D.28 years old |
A. The writer"s family moved several times. |
B. The writer never stopped looking for her ring. |
C. The writer"s ring was cleaned up by the new house owner. |
D. The writer lost her ring in the morning when she took it off. |
A.My New Ring | B.Lost and Found |
C.Lost and Replaced | D.An Expensive Ring |
Let us imagine how Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen"s most famous work, might be updated, 200 years on.
Austen"s popularity is rooted in her intelligence. But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as would her characters. Here"s my own suggestion. . .
It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism.
" My dear husband," said his hopeful wife one day, " have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so long, is taken over by a bright young businesswoman?"
Her dull and indifferent (漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not. "But it is, it is," she replied excitedly. Mr Dull-Husband made no reply.
"Don"t you want to know her plans?" she cried with some impatience.
"Well, clearly you think it matters to your silly little head. .. so I"d better listen. "
"Well, my dear, the rumour (传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England, though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me. She will move in herself next month. " "What is her name?" "Bingley. "
"Is she married or single?"
"What a question! And none of your business. But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys. " "How so? How can it possibly affect them? "
"My dear love; those lazy boys need something to wake them up. There are bound to be jobs going. "
" Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place. "
" Nonsense, my love, how little you"ve noticed the world has changed. She"s got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification, I"m told. She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call. "
" Me? No. Perhaps you can take an interest. You still have your looks, after all. She may even offer you a job. " "Oh, that"s not likely. These new chances belong to the younger generation. But now you mention it, I think I"ll go along all the same. "
And Mrs Bennet went along. That was 10 years ago. She is now managing director of a FTSE-listed company.
... It would remain the case, of course, that Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board, that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues, her bonus of a more "female" dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the city"s business leaders shorter than theirs. Still, she"d no doubt have enjoyed Davos—and might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with influential figures.
小题1:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Austen was born 200 years ago. |
B.Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice. |
C.Austen"s success lies in her wisdom. |
D.Austen"s updated work gains popularity. |
A.had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about Bingley |
B.felt kind of worried and doubtful about Bingley |
C.was extremely anxious to meet Bingley |
D.had a great curiosity about Bingley |
A.get married to | B.work for her |
C.help her move in | D.take over her store |
A.Women with brains can also be as successful as men. |
B.Women have to pay a high price for success. |
C.A judgment must be made free from prejudice. |
D.Sex discrimination still exists nowadays. |
Another interesting experiment showed a bird"s 6 number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦)that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not 7 until the man left the tower. The man had an 8 .He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they did not 9 the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was 10 with three men and then with four men. But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were 11 .It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were 12 able to fool the crow.
How good is a human"s number sense? It"s not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a 13 group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are 14 fooled.
It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human 15 is not much better than a crow"s.

Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes ,Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.
The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid. ”Maybe I could go as Superman ,”he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装),finally she agreed.
The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation.
The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could. Just as Dr. Epstein puts it ,”If you can dream it, you can do it”
It doesn‘t mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview. But, next time you are texted in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it .Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.

I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically
The first two times we met, David didn"t say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children"s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon-in complete silence and without looking at me. It"s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?
"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought. "Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.
"It’s your turn," he said.
After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one-without any words-can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.
