(2013·湖北卷)The technology is great.Without it we wouldn't have been able to put a man on the moon, explore the ocean's depths or eat microwave sausages.Computers have revolutionized our lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge.But sometimes this power can create more problems than it solves.
Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients who've come into their surgery waving an Internet print-out, convinced that they have some rare incurable disease, say, throat cancer.The truth is usually far more ordinary, though: they don't have throat cancer, and it's just that their throats are swollen.Being a graduate of the Internet “school” of medicine does not guarantee accurate self-health-checks.
One day Mrs.Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work.While I took her blood sample and tried to find out what was wrong, she said calmly, “I know what's wrong; I've got throat cancer.I know there's nothing you doctors can do about it and I've just got to wait until the day comes.”
As a matter of routine I ordered a chest X-ray.I looked at it and the blood results an hour later.Something wasn't right.“Did your local doctor do an X-ray?” I asked.“Oh, I haven't been to the doctor for years，” she replied.“I read about it on a website and the symptoms fitted, so I knew that's what I had.”
However, some of her symptoms, like the severe cough and weight loss, didn't fit with it—but she'd just ignored this.
I looked at the X-ray again, and more tests confirmed it wasn't the cancer but tuberculosis (肺結(jié)核)—something that most certainly did need treating, and could be deadly.She was lucky we caught it when we did.
Mrs.Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure that she was fully recovered.It was certainly a lesson for her.“I'm_so_embarrassed，” she said, shaking her head, as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested.She listed up to about 20, and then I went to my office to type up my notes.Unexpectedly, the computer was not working, so I had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it.Typical.Maybe I should have
a microwave sausage while I waited?
1.Mrs.Almond talked about her illness calmly because________.
A.she thought she knew it well
B.she had purchased medicine online
C.she graduated from a medical school
D.she had been treated by local doctors
解析 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第三段“...she said calmly，‘I know what's wrong; I've got throat cancer.I know there's nothing you doctors can do about it and I've just got to wait until the day comes.'”可知答案為A項(xiàng)。
答案 A
2.It was lucky for Mrs.Almond________.
A.to have contacted many friends
B.to have recovered in a short time
C.to have her assumption confirmed
D.to have her disease identified in time
解析 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第六段可知更多的檢查表明她得的不是癌癥而是肺結(jié)核，由最后一句“She was lucky we caught it when we did.”可知她的病及時(shí)被發(fā)現(xiàn)所以她是幸運(yùn)的。故正確答案為D項(xiàng)。
答案 D
3.Mrs.Almond said “I'm so embarrassed” (Para.7) because________.
A.she had distrusted her close friends
B.she had caused unnecessary trouble
C.she had to refuse the doctor's advice
D.she had to tell the truth to the doctor
解析 由最后一段第三句話“‘I'm so embarrassed，’she said, shaking her head, as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested.”可知答案為B項(xiàng)。
答案 B
4.By mentioning the breakdown of the computer, the author probably wants to
prove________.
A.it's a must to take a break at work
B.it's vital to believe in IT professionals
C.it's unwise to simply rely on technology
D.it's a danger to work long hours on computers
解析 推理判斷題。最后一段中作者提到了電腦出故障了，這與第一段要揭示的主題相呼應(yīng)，主要證明不能完全依賴科技，故選C項(xiàng)。
