James Harrison has an antibody in his plasma(血浆)that stops babies dying from Rhesus disease, a form of severe anaemia. He has enabled countless mothers to give birth to healthy babies, including his own daughter, Tracey, who had a healthy son thanks to her father"s blood.
Mr. Harrison has been giving blood every few weeks since he was 18 years old and has now racked up a total of 984 donations. When he started donating, his blood was deemed so special that his life was insured for one million Australian dollars.
He was also nicknamed the “man with the golden arm” or the “man in two million”. He said, “I"ve never thought about stopping. Never!” He made a pledge to be a donor aged 14 after undergoing major chest surgery in which he needed 13 liters of blood. “I was in hospital for three months,” he said. “The blood I received saved my life so I made a pledge to give blood when I was 18.”
Just after he started donating he was found to have the rare and life-saving antibody in his blood. At the time, thousands of babies in Australia were dying each year of Rhesus disease. Other newborns suffered permanent brain damage because of the condition. The disease creates an incompatibility between the mother"s blood and her unborn baby"s blood. It stems from one having Rh-positive blood and the other Rh-negative.
His blood has since led to the development of a vaccine called Anti-D. After his blood type was discovered, Mr. Harrison volunteered to undergo a series of tests to help develop the Anti-D vaccine. “They insured me for a million dollars so I knew my wife Barbara would be taken care of,” he said. “I wasn"t scared. I was glad to help. I had to sign every form going and basically sign my life away.”
Mr. Harrison is Rh-negative and was given injections of Rh-positive blood. It was found his plasma could treat the condition and since then it has been given to hundreds of thousands of women. It has also been given to babies after they are born to stop them developing the disease.
It is estimated he has helped save 2.2 million babies so far. Mr. Harrison is still donating every few weeks now.

答案
小题1:B

小题3:A
小题4:C
解析
试题分析:
小题1:B 推理题。根据文章第一段An Australian man who has been donating his extremely rare kind of blood for 56 years has saved the lives of more than two million babies. 说明他已经救了2百多万的儿童。故称他为man in two million。B说法正确。
小题2:D 推理题。根据第四段最后2行“I was in hospital for three months,” he said. “The blood I received saved my life so I made a pledge to give blood when I was 18.” 以及第四段内容可知他做了手术以后,是别人的血救了他的命,所以他决定鲜血来回报别人,故D正确。
小题3:A 推理题。根据本句The disease creates an incompatibility between the mother"s blood and her unborn baby"s blood.说明这种病让孩子还母亲之间的血型不一致,产生了很多不好的情况,故A的说法正确。
小题4:C 推断题。根据第六段3,4行“They insured me for a million dollars so I knew my wife Barbara would be taken care of说明这样的实验是有一定的危险性的,所以别人才给他报了巨额的保险,以保证他的妻子能得到很好的照顾。故C说法正确。
点评:本文是一篇新闻报告类短文阅读,介绍了澳大利亚的一位有稀有血型的男子,在56年里献血救了2百万人的性命。以推理题的考查为主,要求考生能根据上下文的语义串联以及题目的要求结合选项做出合理的判断推理。
