Question

8．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﹩for what he had done．I was astonished．He had good reason to charge me，he said．And if I 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 50 minutes．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﹩115 each 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 responsible 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 him﹩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 I left without getting a cnt．

Answer 1

分析 本文叙述了作者在美国经历了一次交通事故，室友帮忙后向他要钱，为作者服务的医生和律师在作者付给他们钱后却只为了他的钱，而不是真心地帮他，最后，自己给自己当律师做辩护，最终作者没有拿到一分钱的赔偿而离开了美国．由此，作者认为在美国钱高于一切．

解答 1．B 细节题．根据第二段第三句But the next day，he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done．"（第二天，因为他之前为我做的，他向我要了200美元．）故该题正确答案为B．
2．D 细节题．根据第二段倒数第三句And if I 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．"（如果我想得到那个应该为我的伤负责的人的赔款的话，我就必须有个好律师，而只有一个好医生才能帮我有个好律师．）这句话所体现的逻辑关系告诉读者有一位好医生是能获得责任方赔偿的基本的、必要的条件．故正确答案为D．
3．C 判断题． A．be responsible"负责任"； B．accuse"控告；指责"； C．ask as a price"要价"； D．claim"索款（作为保险金、赔偿、增薪等）；声称"，该题推测谓语charged的语意．根据上文可知其主语he指代the doctor（那位医生），宾语为双宾：我、115美元．所以该处charged语意应为"要价"，故正确答案为C．
4．B细节题． A．friendly"友好的"； B．selfish"自私的"； C．professional"专业的"； D．busy"忙的"，通过文章倒数第三段和倒数第二段对我所请的医生和律师工作情况的描述可知，他们唯利是图而且无所作为．故正确答案为B
5．D 结论题．从最后一段作者对美国的评论可知，在美国金钱比友谊、荣誉或职业道德更重要．答案为D．
