Question

At midnight Mr. King coughed again. He got up and took some medicine. Before he lay down again, he smoked. And he couldn’t go to sleep any longer. He found the medicine book and began to read it. He was afraid he had lung cancer. He seemed to see death was waiting for him. Tears(眼泪) ran down his face. He didn’t see his wife was standing by him.

“What’s wrong with you, dear?” asked the woman.

“Nothing,” the old man answered and covered his face with his hands.

The old woman opened the book and understood at once. She said, “You must stop smoking right now.”

“I began to smoke when I was nine, you know. How can’t I do that?”

“But I think health is more important.”

Mr. King coughed again and his wife said, “Go to see a doctor tomorrow. He will be able to help you, I think.”

The doctor told Mr. King to have an X-ray examination of his lungs. And then he looked at the X-ray carefully for a long time.

“Tell me the truth, doctor.”said Mr.King, “Do you see any shadows(阴影)in my lungs?”

“No, I don’t see anything.”

“Yes?” the old man said happily. “Really?”

“Yes. Your lungs are turning black. How can I see any shadows?”

试题分析：这篇短文中作者主要金先生因吸烟严重而导致咳嗽不止而不愿戒烟，在妻子的建议下去医院检查发现肺部伤害很严重了。

1.细节理解题。根据短文第一段第二句话He got up and took some medicine.可知，他起来是为了吃药；故选D。

2.推理判断题。根据短文第一段Before he lay down again, he smoked.及“You must stop smoking right now.”和“I began to smoke when I was nine, you know. How can’t I do that?”可知，他吸烟严重导致了健康下降，咳嗽厉害；故选C。

3.细节理解题。根据短文第一段He was afraid he had lung cancer. He seemed to see death was waiting for him. Tears(眼泪) ran down his face.可知由于担心自己得了肺癌才伤心的流泪；故选A。

4.推理判断题。根据短文第八段And then he looked at the X-ray carefully for a long time.可知，医生让他做X光检查是为了确认他的肺部是否有问题；故选C。

5.判断正误题。根据短文最后一段Your lungs are turning black. How can I see any shadows?可知，他的肺部没有阴影，而是变黑了，说明肺部伤害已经很严重了，肯定是由吸烟引起的，所以A错误，B正确；C项错误；而对于金先生是否立即决定戒烟短文当中是没有提到的；所以D项错误；故选B。
