Question

    If a snake bites you, take a photo with your mobile phone! It can save your life. This is the surprising advice of a British cook. One day Henry Jackson was working in a restaurant kitchen. He picked up a dish from a table, and suddenly a snake appeared and bit him on the hand. A few days earlier, the snake came to the restaurant from Asia in a box of bananas. It climbed out of the box and hid under the dish. “I tried to pick it up and it bit me. I threw it away, but it landed in the fridge. So I closed the door.” Jackson said. Anyway, Jackson was cool and he took a photo of the snake with his mobile phone. Soon his hand began to ache and he went to hospital. Then his chest began to hurt. Doctors couldn't say what was wrong because they didn't know what kind of snake it was. Then Jackson remembered his mobile phone photo. The doctors sent it to London Zoo. When they knew the kind of snake, they could give Jackson the right medicine, and he left hospital the next day. “So my advice is this: If a snake bits you, pick up your phone. Take its photo first and then call the hospital. Show the photo to the doctors,” suggests Mr. Jackson. “Oh, and if the snake doesn't smile for its photo, don't worry!”

【解析】

本篇阅读是一篇记叙文。本文记叙了厨师Henry Jackson被蛇咬伤，医生通过他拍摄的蛇的照片确定蛇的种类从而给Henry正确用药，挽救了他性命的故事。

1.细节理解题。根据文章第七句“It climbed out of the box and hid under the dish.”可知蛇从箱子里爬出来后躲在了盘子下面，所以Henry拿盘子时被咬了，故选C。

2.推理判断题。根据文章第八句“I tried to pick it up and it bit me. I threw it away...”可知蛇咬了Henry，然后Henry赶紧把蛇丢开，通过常识判断这是人受惊后的下意识动作，故选A。

3.推理判断题。根据常识可知，蛇咬了Henry然后掉到了冰箱里，Henry关上冰箱门是因为这样蛇就出不来，不能再伤害他，他安全了，故选D。

4.细节理解题。根据文章“Then Jackson remembered his mobile phone photo. The doctors sent it to London Zoo.”可知医生把Henry的照片拿到动物园去辨认蛇的品种，在知道蛇品种的前提下，他们才能对症下药治好Henry，故选A。
