一、阅读理解（共1道小题，共25.0分）

1. My aunt Edith was a widow（寡妇）of 50, working as a secretary, when doctors discovered

what was then thought to be a very serious heart disease.

Aunt Edith doesn’t accept defeat easily. She began studying medical reports in the library and found an article in a magazine about a well-known heart surgeon, Dr. Michael DeBakey, of Houston, Texas. He had saved the life of someone with the same disease. The article said his fees were very high; Aunt Edith couldn’t possibly pay them. B ut could he tell her of someone

whose fees she could pay?

So Aunt Edith wrote to him. She simply listed her reasons for wanting live: her three children, who would be on their own in three or four more years, her little-girl dream of traveling and

seei ng the world. There wasn’t a word of self-pity----only warmth and humor and the joy of living.

She mailed the letter, not really expecting an answer.

A few days later, my doorbell rang. Aunt Edith didn’t wait to come in; she stood in the hall and

read aloud:

Your beautiful letter moved me very deeply. If you can come to Houston, there will be no charge for either the hospital or the operation.

Signed: Michael DeBakey.

试题分值：25.0

得分：[5, 5, 5, 5, 5]

提示：[1]B.细节题。本题问“Edith姑妈______当她听说自己患上了严重的心脏病。”中心词是“a very serious heart disease”。答案在第二段的第一句，该句大意是“Edith姑妈不会轻易言败”。据此，可知答案是B（她没有失去希望）。A的意思是“不做秘书了”，C的意思是“呆在医院里”，D的意思是“向很多医生求助”。

[2]C.细节题。题目问“从故事中，我们可以看出________。”但是题干信息不足，所以我们还得浏

览四个选项。A的意思是“Michael DeBakey医生一点都没有名。”B的意思是“Edith姑妈可以负担得起Michael DeBakey医生的医治费用。”C的意思是“Michael DeBakey医生处理Edith姑妈的

这种病特别有经验。”D的意思是“Edith姑妈轻易言败。”从上面第2题的解释中我们可知D是错

误的。而A、B、C三个句子中心词都有“Dr. Michael DeBakey”。经过定位，答案在第二段。该段大意是“Edit h姑妈不轻易言败。她开始在图书馆研读医学报告，在一份杂志上读到一篇文章，该

文章讲到了德州休斯顿的一位著名的心外科医生，Michael DeBakey。这位医生挽救了一位和

Edith姑妈一种病症的病人。文章还说这名医生的治疗费用很高。Edith姑妈根本负担不起这样的费用。但是，这位医生是否能给她推荐一位她能承担得起费用的医生呢？“据此，可知答案是C。

[3]A.细节题。本题问“在Edith姑妈给医生写的信中，_______。”中心词是“letter”，答案在第三段。

该段大意是“所以，Edith姑妈就写信给了DeBakey医生。信中她仅仅列举了几条她想活下去的原因：她有三个孩子，再过三、四年这些孩子就能自立了；她小时候的梦想，梦想着周游世界。信中没有一丝的自我可怜，而是洋溢着热心、幽默和生活的快乐。她寄出了这封信，也没有期待对方能真的回应。”据此，可知答案是A（她展示出自己是热心、幽默和享受生活的）。B的意思是“她没有提到孩子”，C的意思是“她展示自己是悲伤的”，D的意思是“她说自己有个梦想周游世界的小姑娘”。

[4]D.细节题。本题问“当Edith姑妈寄出信件的时候，_______。”根据上题的解释，我们知道答案

应该是D（她并没有期待那个医生能够给她回应）。A的意思是“她决心要感动那个医生”，B的意思是“她期待奇迹会发生”，C的意思是“她知道信件不会到医生的手里”。

[5]A.细节题。本题问“DeBakey医生在回信中告诉Edith姑妈的主要是_______。”答案在最后一

段，该段大意是“你那封美丽的信深深感动了我。如果你能来休斯顿，我将免除你的住院费和手术费。”据此，可知答案是A（医生会免费为她动手术）。B的意思是“医生认为自己无能为力”，C

的意思是“Edith姑妈的信件写得好”，D的意思是“Edith姑妈的病已经严重到无药可救”。

大学英语精读第二册Reading Aloud and Memorizing答案

The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is s taring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She motions to the nat ive boy standing behind her chair and whispers something to him. The boy's eyes widen: he quickly leaves the room. Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bo wl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors. The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thi ng -- bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room. Unit2 Jefferson's courage and idealism were based on knowledge. He probably knew more than any other man of his age. He was an expert in agriculture, archeology, an d medicine. He practiced crop rotation and soil conservation a century before t hese became standard practice, and he invented a plow superior to any other in existence. He influenced architecture throughout America, and he was constantly producing devices for making the tasks of ordinary life easier to perform. Of all Jefferson's many talents, one is central. He was above all a good and ti reless writer. His complete works, now being published for the first time, will fill more than fifty volumes. His talent as an author was soon discovered, and when the time came to write the Declaration of Independence at Philadelphia in 1776, the task of writing it was his. Millions have thrilled to his words: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…" Unit3 While I was waiting to enter university, I saw advertised in a local newspaper a teaching post at a school in a suburb of London about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short money and wanting to do something useful, I applied, fe aring as I did so, that without a degree and with no experience in teaching my chances of getting the job were slim.

北邮网校大学英语精读2 第三次阶段作业

一、阅读理解（共1道小题，共25.0分） 1. Sixty-year-old grandmother, Fiona McFee, is going to stop working next year and she decided to realize a childhood dream and sail around the coast of Scotland in a small boat. Although the inside of the boat is very cosy, it has no running water or electricity. Fiona says she can live without these things but she plans to take her small CD player, her hot water bottle and a bag of books to make sure life isn’t too uncomfortable. 2. We asked her if she was afraid of being at sea for so long. She said, “Well, I’m going to take a good compass (指南针). Anyway I’m not afraid of death because I love the sea---I just hope it loves me.”Fiona certainly has plenty of energy; in her spare time, she enjoys playing the piano, rock-climbing, canoeing and dancing. Although she is sixty, she doesn’t want to have a quiet and peaceful life. “I’m looking forward to having fun in the rest of my life and that’s exactly why I’d like to be a sailor for a while.” 1. The underlined word cosy in the first paragraph means ____ . A. bright B. dirty C. comfortable D. dark 2. When Fiona McFee said “---I just hope it loves me”, what she meant was ____. A. Of course, it loves me, since I love it. B. If I love it, it should love me. C. I hope it will bring me a safe sailing as a return for my love of it. D. I hope it will save my life when I am in time of danger. 3. The reason why she would like to have the sail is that ____. A. she thinks it will be very exciting B. she likes sports and enjoys canoeing C. she has decided to love the sea D. she wants to be still active when she gets old 4. What kind of person would you say the old woman is? A. Someone who does not show what she is feeling. B. Someone who is very proud and sure of her success. C. Someone who doesn’t use her head much. D. Someone who is open, honest and brave. 5. The best title for this passage is ____ . A. Life Begins at Sixty B. A Round Coast Sail C. An Old Woman Sailor D. An Unusual Hobby(爱好)
