My first reaction was annoyance. It was Friday afternoon, and I was within an hour of finishing my work for the week. As I was leaving, a nurse brought me one more patient message. The statement read: “Mrs. Jones called to say that she has had blurred vision(視覺模糊)ever since her medical test this morning.”I smiled. Suddenly our tests were causing eye problems.

  This week my patients had questioned everything. My patient with high blood pressure had stopped coming to her treatment on the advice of an Internet chat room. A woman who bad a mental problem was substituting(用……代替)St. John's word for her medication. Now Mrs. Jones was imagining problems. I rolled my eyes.

  My second reaction was worry. As I looked through her record, I tried to figure out why she would have blurred vision, but nothing in her record explained the new problem. She's probably just anxious, I thought. Still, she wouldn't have called if she had been all right. I picked up the phone.

  What I next felt can only be described as delight. Before I made the call, the nurse ran in: Mrs. Jones called. Her vision is fine. Turns out she picked up the wrong glasses when she left the office. The X-ray technician has been having the same problem. I let out a laugh. Mrs. Jones had been right. Her vision had been blurred. Now we know why.

  Finally I felt shame. I came to realize what Mrs. Jones had taught me. I had first know she was wrong, that her anxiety had clouded her judgment. Instead, my medical training had clouded mine. Now I feel thankful that Mrs. Jones figured it out before I made a mistake about our relationship. Patients come to for my help. They pay me to listen, diagnose(診斷), treat and talk. That suggests trust; I must remember that, and trust them too.

(1) The writer smiled while reading the patient message because he knew

[  ]

A.Mrs. Jones would ask for more tests

B.the patient was being unreasonable

C.the nurse was joking with him

D.Mrs. Jones would call him

(2) What has caused Mrs. Jones' eyes problem?

[  ]

A.Wrong glasses.

B.Medical checkup.

C.Her own imagination.

D.Chatting on the Internet.

(3) The underlined words“clouded her judgment”in the last paragraph probably mean

[  ]

A.made her less trustful toward the doctor

B.put her in control of her own feelings

C.made her less able to think clearly

D.put her in a dangerous situation

答案:B;A;C
解析:

(1) 本篇講一個醫(yī)生要結(jié)束一周的工作時幾分鐘內(nèi)的心理歷程。一周來,病人們不斷懷疑或不信任自己,其中一個病人Mrs. Jones也來電話說上午看完病后眼睛看不清東西,醫(yī)生說這是煩燥,進而擔心是否真的有問題或病人只是要想像,再而是高興——Mrs. Jones只是戴錯了眼鏡,自己怕診斷治療沒問題,最后慚愧,病人還是信任自己,自己也必須信任病人。文章第二段話用了許多過去完成時,說明這些事先發(fā)生,許多病人開始沒道理地懷疑自己,現(xiàn)在又輪到Mrs. Jones。所以醫(yī)生知道這位病人有些沒理性。

(2) 第四段前幾句說明了Mrs. Jones視力正常,(下班)離開辦公室時拿錯眼鏡。

(3) 畫線部分中cloud作動詞用,是用云擋住的意思,整體畫線部分應(yīng)是“影響了她的判斷辦,使她不能正常思考”本題可用代入法解決。

(4) 從文中可以知人們對moderate success 滿意,故不去挖掘本身的inherent。

(5) 文中第三段有述。

(6) 從文章的最后三段可得知。

Last evening I was watching the evening news on television. The news was about a prize for scientific  1   ;I forgot what it was. The announcer, whose name was Ralph Story, said something that caught my  2  .“All great discoveries,”he said,“are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and thirty.”  3   a little over thirty myself, I wanted to disagree with him.  4   wants to think that he is past the age of making any discovery. The next day I happened to be in the public library and spent several hours looking up the  5  of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was right.

First I looked at some of the   6   discoveries. One of the earliest discoveries, the famous experiment that proved that bodies of different  7   fall at the same speed, was made by Galileo when he was 26. Madam Curie started her research that  8   to the Nobel Prize when she was 28. Einstein was 26 when he published his world-changing theory of relativity. Well,  9   of that. Yet I  10   if those“best years”were true in other  11   .

Then how about the field of   12   ? Surely it needs the wisdom of age to make a good leader. Perhaps it  13   ,but look when these people  14   their career. Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of 26. Abraham Lincoln  15   the life of a country lawyer and was elected to government. At what age? Twenty-six.

But why  16   best years some after thirty? After thirty, I  17   ,most people do not want to take risks or try   18   ways. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former was writing wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty, while the latter was  19   trying new ways of painting when he was ninety!

Perhaps there is still  20   for me.
