本题问“Edith姑妈______当她听说自己患上了严重的心脏病。

”中心词是“a very serious heart disease”。

答案在第二段的第一句,该句大意是“Edith姑妈不会轻易言败”。

据此,可知答案是B(她没有失去希望)。

A的意思是“不做秘书了”,C的意思是“呆在医院里”,D的意思是“向很多医生求助”。

[2]C.细节题。

题目问“从故事中,我们可以看出________。

”但是题干信息不足,所以我们还得浏览四个选项。

A的意思是“Michael DeBakey医生一点都没有名。

”B的意思是“Edith姑妈可以负担得起Michael DeBakey医生的医治费用。

”C的意思是“Michael DeBakey医生处理Edith姑妈的这种病特别有经验。

”D的意思是“Edith姑妈轻易言败。

”从上面第2题的解释中我们可知D是错误的。

而A、B、C三个句子中心词都有“Dr. Michael DeBakey”。

经过定位,答案在第二段。

该段大意是“Edith姑妈不轻易言败。

她开始在图书馆研读医学报告,在一份杂志上读到一篇文章,该文章讲到了德州休斯顿的一位著名的心外科医生,Michael DeBakey。

这位医生挽救了一位和Edith姑妈一种病症的病人。

文章还说这名医生的治疗费用很高。

Edith姑妈根本负担不起这样的费用。

但是,这位医生是否能给她推荐一位她能承担得起费用的医生呢?“据此,可知答案是C。

[3]A.细节题。

本题问“在Edith姑妈给医生写的信中,_______。

”中心词是“letter”,答案在第三段。

该段大意是“所以,Edith姑妈就写信给了DeBakey医生。

信中她仅仅列举了几条她想活下去的原因:她有三个孩子,再过三、四年这些孩子就能自立了;她小时候的梦想,梦想着周游世界。

信中没有一丝的自我可怜,而是洋溢着热心、幽默和生活的快乐。

她寄出了这封信,也没有期待对方能真的回应。

”据此,可知答案是A(她展示出自己是热心、幽默和享受生活的)。

B的意思是“她没有提到孩子”,C的意思是“她展示自己是悲伤的”,D的意思是“她说自己有个梦想周游世界的小姑娘”。

[4]D.细节题。

本题问“当Edith姑妈寄出信件的时候,_______。

”根据上题的解释,我们知道答案应该是D(她并没有期待那个医生能够给她回应)。

A的意思是“她决心要感动那个医生”,B的意思是“她期待奇迹会发生”,C的意思是“她知道信件不会到医生的手里”。

[5]A.细节题。

本题问“DeBakey医生在回信中告诉Edith姑妈的主要是_______。

”答案在最后一段,该段大意是“你那封美丽的信深深感动了我。

如果你能来休斯顿,我将免除你的住院费和手术费。

”据此,可知答案是A(医生会免费为她动手术)。

B的意思是“医生认为自己无能为力”,C的意思是“Edith姑妈的信件写得好”,D的意思是“Edith姑妈的病已经严重到无药可救”。
