Question

The doctor's Handwriting

Mrs South is excited these days. A sudden terrible disease hardly killed her son two months ago. She and her husband took the poor boy to several hospitals, but few doctors could save him. Watching their helpless son struggling for a bare subsistence(在死亡線上掙扎), the woman’s and her husband’s hearts were broken. At that moment, one of their friends introduced Mr Young who worked in a small hospital to them. Thanks to the doctor, their son was saved and he was all right and came out of hospital last week.

The woman decided to ask the doctor to dinner. The invitation was sent to him yesterday. In reply she received a letter which was impossible to read.

“I must know whether he has accepted or not.” said Mrs South.

“If I were you,” suggested her husband. “I should take it to a chemist(藥劑師). He can always read doctors’ letters, however badly written.”

The chemist looked at the notepaper for a while, without waiting for Mrs South’s explanation, and handed her a bottle.

“Here you are, madam,” he said. “That will be two dollars.”

試題分析：本文敘述了Mrs South和她的丈夫由于他們的兒子病了，所以他們四處求醫(yī)給兒子治療，結(jié)果經(jīng)過(guò)朋友的介紹，他們的兒子被一個(gè)小醫(yī)院里的醫(yī)生治療好了，他們感到很高興。

1.從文中第一段A sudden terrible disease hardly killed her son two months ago連個(gè)月之前一場(chǎng)疾病幾乎要了她兒子的命。可得到信息，Be died of死于……

2.從文中第一段the woman’s and her husband’s hearts were broken.這個(gè)女人和她丈夫心都要碎了，由此可知他們很難過(guò)，根據(jù)題目句意填sad或sorry.

3.結(jié)合題意和文章，Mr Young治好了孩子的病，Mrs South 邀請(qǐng)Mr Young吃晚飯是想表達(dá)她的感激，所以填thanks,注意用復(fù)數(shù)。

4.結(jié)合文章內(nèi)容In reply she received a letter which was impossible to read.她收到了回信但不可能看懂，再結(jié)合句意：對(duì)Mrs South來(lái)說(shuō)，要看懂Mr Young的回信是很困難的，故填difficult.

5.從文中最后一段描述可知，藥劑師看了回信，直接拿了一個(gè)藥瓶給Mrs South，他認(rèn)為他看懂了內(nèi)容，understand理解，這里用過(guò)去式understood。
