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 Xray examination of his lungs. And then he looked at the Xray 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?”

Answer 1

DCACB

6.D 根据He got up and took some medicine可知他起来是为了拿药，选D。
7.C 根据Before he lay down again, he smoked. And he couldn’t go to sleep any longer可知他是躺下之前抽了烟，结果不能入睡，故选C。
8.A 根据He was afraid he had lung cancer. He seemed to see death was waiting for him. Tears(眼泪) ran down his face可知他害怕他得了肺癌，故掉眼泪了，选A。
9.C 根据And then he looked at the Xray carefully for a long time可知他做X射线是为了确定金先生的肺有没有问题，故选C。
10.B 根据Yes. Your lungs are turning black可知金先生的肺变黑了，其原因由上文可知是抽烟所致，故选B。A答案错误，医生说变黑了看不到了，是很严重；C也不对，与文章No, I don’t see anything不符；D文章没有讲到。
