Question

At midnight (半夜) 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(肺癌). 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 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 X-ray examination（X光检查）of his lungs. And then he looked at the X-ray 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?”

【解析】

试题分析：这是一篇科普类故事短文。文中介绍Mr. King吸烟太多，导致咳嗽、肺部变黑，以至于X光片都检查不出他的肺病的事。

1.小题1】细节理解题。He got up and took some medicine.句意：他起床吃了些药。结合上文可知，Mr King咳得厉害，他起床是为了吃药来缓解他的咳嗽。因此选B

2.小题2】推理判断题。She said, “You must stop smoking right now.”“I began to smoke when I was nine, you know. How can I do that?” 句意：她说：“你必须立刻停止吸烟”“你知道，你从九岁开始吸烟，停止吸烟我怎么做得到？”“Yes. Your lungs are turning black. How can I see any shadows?” 句意：“是的，你的肺变黑了，我怎么能看到阴影？”从Mr. King夫妇的对话及医生和身份证语可以推断Mr. King吸烟太多引起了咳嗽。

3.小题3】细节理解题。He was afraid he had lung cancer(肺癌). He seemed to see death was waiting for him.句意：他害怕自己得了肺癌，他似乎看到死亡正等着他。由这两句话可知这是真正让Mr. King流泪的原因。因此答案选A

4.小题4】细节理解题。The doctor told Mr. King to have an X-ray examination（X光检查）of his lungs.句意：医生让Mr. King做X光检查他的肺。由此句可知医生是想知道Mr. King肺有哪些病症。因此选C

5.小题5】推理判断题。A项：Mr. King没有什么问题。由文意可知，Mr. King不会没有问题，因此A错误；B项：吸烟太多导致Mr. King的肺变黑。“Yes. Your lungs are turning black. How can I see any shadows?” 句意：你的肺变黑了，我怎么能看得到阴影？由医生的这句话推断，B项正确；C项：医生在Mr. King的肺上发现了黑影。由上句中医生的话可知C项错误。因此选A
