题型:不详难度:来源:
Once Dr.Mellinkoff invited me to join him at the hospital to discuss interesting cases with his  students.The case at hand was a Guatemalan man, aged 34, who had a fever and many other medical problems.His condition was not improving, and there was not much hope he would live.
Dr.Mellinkoff asked to see the patient.He introduced himself in Spanish and, in a very gentle voice, asked how he felt.The patient smiled and said everything was all right.Then the doctor asked if he was able to eat.The patient said that he had no desire to eat.
"Are you getting food you like?"
The patient said nothing.
"Do you get the kind of food you have at home?"
The answer was no.
The doctor put his hand on the man’s shoulder and his voice was very soft.
"If; you had food that you liked, would you eat it?"
"Yes, yes," the patient said.
The change in the patient’s appearance couldn’t have been more obvious.Nothing was said, but it was easy to tell that a message had been sent and! had also been received.
Later, the doctor asked why the Guatemalan man wasn’t getting food he could eat.One of the students said, "We all know how difficult it is to get the kitchen to make special meals."
"Suppose," the doctor replied, "you felt a certain medicine was absolutely necessary but that our hospital didn’t carry it, would you accept defeat or would you insist the hospital meet your request?"
"I would probably insist," the student said.
"Very well," the doctor said."You might want to try the same method in the kitchen.It won’t be easy, but I can help you.Meanwhile, let’s get some food inside this man as fast as possible, and stay with it.Or he’ll be killed by hunger.By the way, there must be someone among you who can speak Spanish.If we want to make real progress, we need to be able to talk with him."
Three weeks later, Doctor Mellinkoff told me that the Guatemalan man had left the hospital under his own power.It takes more than medicine to help sick people; you also have to talk to them and make them comfortable.
小题1:The patient had no desire to eat because         .
A.he was not hungryB.he was seriously ill
C.he was given special mealsD.he was not satisfied with the food
小题2:According to the passage, we can conclude that       .
A.the patient’s native language was Spanish
B.the patient’s illness was caused by hunger
C.Dr. Mellinkoff performed an operation on the patient
D.the hospital failed to provide the right medicine for the patient
小题3:Which of the following words can be used to describe Dr. Mellinkoff?
A.Cold.B.Considerate.C.Curious.D.Careless.
小题4:What do you think Dr. Mellinkoff  wanted to tell his students in this case?
A.Doctors should be good at foreign languages.
B.Doctors should know their patients’ real problems.
C.Doctors should try to improve their medical skills.
D.Doctors should have a good relationship with their patients.

答案

小题1:D
小题1:A
小题1:B
小题1:B
解析
Dr.Mellinkoff用一个真实的病例告诉他的学生:作为一名医生,要深入了解病人的病因,除了给他们以药物治疗外,还要和他们多交谈,了解他们所需,让他们心情舒畅。
小题1:D推理判断题。根据Dr.Mellinkoff和病人的对话可知,当问他有没有喜欢吃的东西时。他说没有,而当问他如果有他喜欢吃的东西,他吃不吃时,他说了两个”yes”。
小题1:A推理判断题。第二段第二句话告诉我们:Dr.Mellinkoff用西班牙语和那个病人交流;另外,倒数第二段中Dr.Mellinkoff要求会说西班牙语的学生去和那个病人交流。由此可推知A项正确。
小题1:B推理判断题。通读全义可知,Dr.Mellinkoff是一个很体贴的(considerate)人。他和病人谈话后得知,病人不喜欢吃医院里的饭菜,于是他便要求学生想法去厨房给病人做他喜欢吃的食物;倒数第二段中,他安排会讲西班牙语的学   生和病人沟通,以了解他的需要;文章最后一句话中他的观点——不仅仅要用药物给病人治病,还要和他们沟通,以让他们感到舒服,这些都表明Dr.Mellinkoff是一·个体贴的人。
小题1:B推理判断题。Dr.Mellinkoff和那位本来好像已经是”病入膏肓”的病人淡话后发现,其实他身体没有什么大问题,只是无法吃下医院的饭菜,对他”对症下药”之后三周后这个病人便康复出院。他通过这个病例显然是为了告诉他的学生们,要了解病人的真正问题。

举一反三
A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute,” someone might say, “are talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”
The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two week to prepare, a period I spent searching for a briefcase and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class, I’m Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.
I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.
“All right then,” I said. “Okay, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit on the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of raised hands. Every student would shout to be heard, and I would knock on something in order to silence them. I would yell, “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”
A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I instructed the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.

My friend Robert started a new job this week and he’s been in the training class for two days. The employer has a very strict dress code—dark blue shirts and pants.
On the first day, an older gentleman in his class did not have the proper clothes and he was strictly told that he would be fired if he didn’t have the right clothes the next day. He explained, “Sir, I had been told about this, but because of my larger size, it’s sometimes difficult to find the right clothing for a price I can afford.”
Last night, Robert and I decided that this old man shouldn’t lose the chance of work simply because he couldn’t afford the clothes. I had some cash on hand and Robert took it with him this morning just in case it was needed.
When training started this morning, the trainer was ready to fire the older gentleman. “You have 10 minutes to be in proper clothes,” he was told. At this point, Robert spoke up and asked if he could have 10 minutes to get him the clothes. He then ran out to the store and bought the proper-sized pants and a shirt; he returned with both and gave them to the older man.
The older gentleman began to cry and told him that he couldn’t accept such a gift from a stranger. Robert told him he had to because he had lost the receipt(收据) and couldn’t return them—a little white lie. The pants were a perfect fit, the shirt was a bit tight but he was able to keep his job.
“My wife and I tried to gather together some money last night, but we didn’t have enough to buy the clothes,” he told Robert. “It’s unbelievable to me that a person would do such a thing for only knowing me a day!”
More unbelievable is how good it has made Robert and me feel to do this.
小题1:If the older man did not have the proper clothes, he would _____.
A.be punishedB.be offered another jobC.put off the training classD.lose his job
小题2:The money which was paid for the clothes was _____.
A.the trainer’sB.the older man’sC.the writer’s D.Robert’s
小题3: How did Robert persuade the older man to accept the clothes?
A.He told the older man that he would lose his job if he did not take them.
B.He told a lie that the clothes didn’t fit himself.
C.He told the older man that he could save money and return it later.
D.He told the older man that he had no way to send them back.
小题4:What might be the best title for the passage?
A.Proper clothes for a strangerB.Fight against strict rules
C.A strange employerD.An unbelievable thing

Joanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5: 30 and at 6: 30 she was expected to be chairing a meeting of the tennis club. At last, the traffic was moving. She swung quickly racing to her house. As she opened the door, she nearly tripped(绊) over Sheba.
“Hey, Sheba,” she said, “I’ve got no time for you now, but I’ll take you out as soon as I get back from tennis club.” Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking. Obviously, she could hardly breathe. Immediately, Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet(兽医).
When she got there, the vet was just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba, Dr. Sterne brought her quickly into his office.
“Listen, doctor, I’m really in a rush to get to a meeting. Can I leave her with you, and go and get changed? I’ll be back in ten minutes to pick her up, and then I’ll take her on to the meeting with me. Is that OK?”
“Sure.” said the doctor.
Joanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes. As she was once more entering the hallway, the phone by the door began to ring.
“This is Dr. Sterne,” said an anxious voice. “I want you to get out of that house immediately,” said the doctor’s voice. “I’m coming round right away, and the police will be there any time now. Wait outside!”
At that moment, a police car screeched to a stop outside the house. Two policemen got out and ran into the house. Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened. Then the doctor arrived.
“Where’s Sheba? Is she OK?” shouted Joanne.
“She’s fine, Joanne. I took out the thing which was choking her, and she’s OK now.”
Just then, the two policemen reappeared from the house, half-carrying a white-faced man, who could hardly walk. There was blood all over him.
“My God,” said Joanne, “how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?”
“I think he must be a burglar.” said the doctor. “I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Sheba’s throat: it turned out to be three human fingers.”
小题1:Joanne wanted to get back to her home again _____.
A.to dress up for the meetingB.to phone the police station
C.to catch the badly hurt burglarD.to wait for her dog to be cured
小题2:From the passage, we can infer that _____.
A.Sheba fought against the burglar
B.the police found the burglar had broken in
C.Joanne had planned to take her dog to the meeting
D.the doctor performed a difficult operation on the dog
小题3:In this passage, the writer intends to tell us that the dog is _____.
