Question

Dr Asim Syed, 32, has performed more than 100 operations at London’s Hammersmith Hospital in the country’s busiest transplant unit, but never imagined that he would one day become a donor himself.
He stepped forward when was told his 64-year-old mother might be dead within months unless she got a new kidney (肾). The worried surgeon brought her to London to be cared for at his hospital. However, it was not all plain sailing. Tests showed Dr Syed was the wrong blood group, so the only way was to go through a special blood-washing process. He consulted colleagues about that, but they didn’t agree, because the risk of rejection is still too high. Dr Syed and his mother were then advised to consider a new way of donating and receiving, called an organ-paired. That is, Dr Syed donated his kidney to an unknown person and another donor in the chain was a successful match for his mother. The chain of three transplants took place at the same time on July 31 with Dr Syed’s kidney going to a recipient in the Midlands and Mrs. Syed receiving her kidney from a person in the south of England.
Just hours after donating his own kidney, Dr Syed found himself recovering in bed next to his mother. Mrs Syed said, “When I came round from my operation Asim was in the next bed and the first thing he said was, ‘Mum now all your worries are over.’ Tears fell down.”
Now mother and son are recovering well with Dr Syed already back at work. Mrs. Syed is staying with him for several months while the hospital monitors her progress.
He said, “I did what anyone would do when they see a relative suffering disease. Although I wasn’t able to help mum directly, by agreeing to be part of a chain, I was also very happy.”

Answer 1

BAAB
1，文中第二段However, it was not all plain sailing. Tests showed Dr Syed was the wrong blood group, so the only way was to go through a special blood-washing process.可知手术不顺利的原因是Dr Syed was the wrong blood group，A，选项是无稽之谈，C,D在文中都没有体现。故答案选B。
2，第二段中的He consulted colleagues about that, but they didn’t agree, because the risk of rejection is still too high.可知，Dr Syed咨询他的同事，关于the method of blood-washing,他的同事认为他母亲对他的肾脏异化反应的风险非常高，所以认为是危险的，B，D在文中都没有显示，C, Dr Syed的同事有办法为他母亲治疗，但是风险太高。故答案选A。
3，第三段中Mrs Syed said, “When I came round from my operation Asim was in the next bed and the first thing he said was, ‘Mum now all your worries are over.’ Tears fell down.”
Mrs Syed眼泪都留下来了，被她儿子的言行所感动，对应选项A.第四段中Mrs. Syed is staying with him for several months while the hospital monitors her progress.可知B,C,D选项是错误的。
4，通过手术顺利的治好了Mrs Syed的病症，所以A是错误的。文中没有出现关于医疗费用的描述，故答案C是错误的。That is, Dr Syed donated his kidney to an unknown person and another donor in the chain was a successful match for his mother.可知Dr Syed没有直接把他的肾脏捐给他的母亲。答案D是错误的。全文描述了一个作为医生的儿子通过将自己的肾脏捐给第三者，第三者再将肾脏捐给医生母亲，以便治疗好他的母亲疾病的感人故事，故答案是B。
