Question

    One night about nine o’clock, Dr. Elyck, surgeon (外科医生), had phone call from Dr. Haydon at the hospital in Clense Falls. The surgeon was asked to go there at once to operate on a very sick boy who shot himself while playing with a gun.

The doctor was soon on his way to Clense Falls. It was 60 miles away. And it was snowing heavily in the city. The surgeon thought he could get there before 12 o’clock.

A few minutes later, the doctor was stopped by a man in an old black coat. Gun in hand, the man ordered the doctor to get out. Then the man drove the car down the road, leaving the doctor in the falling snow.

It was after two o’ clock in the morning when the doctor arrived at the hospital in Clense Falls.

Dr. Haydon told him that the boy had died an hour before.

The two doctors walked by the door of the hospital waiting room. There sat the man in the old black coat with his head in his hands.

“Mr. Cunningham,” said Dr. Haydon to the man, “This is Dr. Elyck. He is the surgeon who came all the way from Albany to save your boy.”

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一个外科医生被受伤孩子的父亲抢劫，错过了拯救受伤孩子的时间，导致孩子死亡的故事。

1.细节理解题。根据第三自然段第一句“A few minutes later, the doctor was stopped by a man in an old black coat.”可知，医生被一个穿着黑色旧大衣的男人拦截；倒数第二段第二句“There sat the man in the old black coat with his head in his hands.”可知，穿着旧的黑色大衣的男人双手抱着头坐在那里。可知，抢劫者就是那个失去孩子的父亲。故选C。

2.细节理解题。根据第一自然段第一二句“…Dr. Elyck, surgeon (外科医生), had phone call from Dr. Haydon…was asked to go there at once to operate on a very sick boy…”可知，Dr. Elyck被Dr.Haydon一个电话叫去给一个生病的孩子做手术，说明这个男孩需要他的帮助。故选B。

3.细节理解题。根据第三四自然段“Then the man drove the car down the road… It was after two o’clock in the morning when the doctor arrived…”可知，一个男人把医生的车开走了，凌晨两点后医生才到。医生迟到因为他的车被人开走了。故选D。

4.细节理解题。a. Dr. Elyck 被叫到Clense Falls医院。b. Dr. Elyck 到达医院。c. 这个男孩射伤到了自己。 d.这个男孩死了。e. 穿着黑色旧大衣的男人到了医院。f. Dr. Elyck 车被抢劫了。根据第一自然段第一二句“…Dr. Elyck, surgeon (外科医生), had phone call from Dr. Haydon…was asked to go there at once to operate on a very sick boy who shot himself...”可知，Dr. Elyck被Dr.Haydon一个电话叫去给一个射伤自己的孩子看病。所以，孩子肯定是先射伤到了自己，然后医生被叫去做手术。前两个顺序是ca。根据第三自然段第一句“A few minutes later, the doctor was stopped by a man in an old black coat.”可知，医生被一个穿着黑色旧大衣的男人拦截，倒数第二段第二句“There sat the man in the old black coat with his head in his hands.”可知，穿着旧的黑色大衣的男人双手抱着头坐在那里。可知，医生车被孩子的父亲抢劫了，孩子父亲开车到达医院。这两个顺序是fe。倒数第三自然“Dr. Haydon told him that the boy had died an hour before.”医生告诉他孩子一个小时前死了。根据倒数第四自然段“It was after two o’clock in the morning when the doctor arrived…”可知，凌晨两点后医生才到。排序为db。故选C。

5.最佳标题题。A一个有趣的抢劫；B a boy’s death一个男孩的死亡；C An angry father一个愤怒的爸爸；D A useless doctor一个没用的医生。根据第一自然段第一二句“…Dr. Elyck, surgeon (外科医生), had phone call from Dr. Haydon…was asked to go there at once to operate on a very sick boy…”可知，Dr. Elyck被Dr.Haydon一个电话叫去给一个生病的孩子做手术；倒数第三自然“Dr. Haydon told him that the boy had died an hour before.”医生告诉他孩子一个小时前死了。这中间经历的故事都是为了救孩子，而最终因为父亲的抢劫耽误了孩子的治疗，孩子死亡了。故选B。
