Question

My first reaction was annoyance．It was Friday afternoon, and I was within an hour of finishing my work for the week．As I was leaving, a nurse brought me one more patient message．The statement read：“Mrs．Jones called to say that she has had blurred vision(视觉模糊)ever since her medical test this morning．”I smiled．Suddenly our tests were causing eye problems． 　　This week my patients had questioned everything．My patient with high blood pressure had stopped coming to her treatment on the advice of an Internet chat room．A woman who had a mental problem was substituting(用……代替)St．John’s word for her medication．Now Mrs．Jones was imagining problems．I rolled my eyes． 　　My second reaction was worry．As I looked through her record, I tried to figure out why she would have blurred vision, but nothing in her record explained the new problem．She’s probably just anxious, I thought．Still, she wouldn’t have called if she had been all right．I picked up the phone． 　　What I next felt can only be described as delight．Before I made the call, the nurse ran in：Mrs．Jones called．Her vision is fine．Turns out she picked up the wrong glasses when she left the office．The X-ray technician has been having the same problem．I let out a laugh．Mrs．Jones had been right．Her vision had been blurred．Now we know why． 　　Finally I felt shame．I came to realize what Mrs．Jones had taught me．I had first known she was wrong, that her anxiety had clouded hex judgment．Instead, my medical training had clouded mine．Now I feel thankful that Mrs．Jones figured it out before I made a mistake about our relationship．Patients come to me for my help．They pay me to listen, diagnose(诊断), treat and talk．That suggests trust; I must remember that, and trust them too． (1) The writer smiled while reading the patient message because he knew [　　] A． Mrs．Jones would ask for more tests B． the patient was being unreasonable C． the nurse was joking with him D． Mrs．Jones would call him (2) What had caused Mrs．Jones’ eye problem? [　　] A． Wrong glasses B． Medical checkup C． Her own imagination D． Chatting on the Internet (3) The underlined words “clouded her judgment” in the last paragraph probably mean [　　] A． made her less trustful toward the doctor B． put her in control of her own feelings C． made her less able to think clearly D． put her in a dangerous situation

Answer 1

答案：1．B;2．A;3．C;
解析：

(1)	本篇讲一个医生要结束一周的工作时几分钟内的心理历程。一周来，病人们不断怀疑或不信任自己，其中一个病人Mrs．Jones也来电话说上午看完病后眼睛看不清东西，医生先是烦躁，进而担心焦虑是否真的有问题或病人只是在想象，再而是高兴——Mrs．Jones只是戴错了眼镜，自己的诊断治疗没问题。最后是惭愧，病人还是信任自己的，自己也必须信任病人。文章第二段话用了许多过去完成时，说明这些事先发生，许多病人开始没道理地怀疑自己，现在又轮到Mrs．Jones。所以医生知道这位病人有些没理性。
(2)	第四段的前几句说明了Mrs．Jones视力正常，(下班)离开办公室时拿错了眼镜。
(3)	画线部分中cloud作动词用，是用云挡住的意思，整体画线部分应是“影响了她的判断力，使她不能正常思考”，本题可用代入法解决。
