题目内容
20.I came to study in the United States a year ago.Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court:After the accident,my roommate called a doctor for me.I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day.But the next day,he asked me to pay him 200for what he had done.I was astonished.He had good reason to charge me,he said.And ifl wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury,I'd have to have a good lawyer.And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer.Now that he had helped me find a good doctor,it was only fair that I should pay him,
But every day I went to see the doctor,I had to wait about 50minutes.He would see two or three patients at the same time,and often stop treating one so as to see another.Yet he charged me 115each time.The final examination report consisted of ten lines,and it cost me 215.
My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met.But after that he avoided seeing me at all.He knew very well the other party was resporisible for the accident,yet he hardly did anything.He simply waited to collect his money.He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him.And he made me pay dim 770.
Now I had to act as my own lawyer.Due to my inexperience,I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America.Knowing that,they played for time…and l left without getting a cent.

解答 BDCBD
31 B 细节理解题.根据he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done.I was astonished.He said he had good reason to charge me and that if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury,他的室友知道他可能会从肇事方要来钱,故选B.
32 D 细节题.第二段中And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury,I'd have to have a good lawyer.可以看出,作者找一名好医生的理由是让他为自己找到一名好律师来同肇事方打官司,让他们为自己的负责.答案为D.
