第1题:
16. What did the man have to switch the medication?
【解析】病人说:“II haven’t felt sick to my stomach since you switched my medication.”。由此可知医生要换药是因为胃里不舒服(sick),但换药后就好了。故选B。
第2题:
17. What is the bad news for the man?
【解析】医生说“That means no soccer”, 即不能踢球,但并非永远不能再踢球,而是3个星期没法踢球。导致这个结果的原因是该病人腿部需要做一个手术。因此本题正确答案为C。
第3题:
18. What medical procedures have the man already undergone?
【解析】通过对话内容可知,病人已经做了biopsy(活检)。因此本题答案为D。
第4题:
19. Why did the doctor ask the man to take a few blood tests?
【解析】医生告诉病人还需要做几个血液化验,来排除过敏(allergy)的问题。因此本题答案为D。
第5题:
20. Which of the following can best describe the man’s feeling in the end?
【解析】医生说“The belt shows the tumor is benign which means it is not cancerous. We’re going to take it out anyway, just to be on a safe side.”病人排除了恶性肿瘤等问题,应该是比较放松的。因此本题答案为A。
原文:
W: Hi, Patrick, how are you feeling today?
M: A bit better.
W: That’s good to hear. Are you still feeling nausea?
M: No. (16) I haven’t felt sick to my stomach since you switched my medication.
W. Great, say, your test result came this morning
M: It’s about time. Is it good news or bad?
W: I guess it is a bit of both. Which do you want first?
M: Let’s get the bad news over with.
W: OK. (17) It looks like you are going to need surgery to remove your tumor from your leg. After the operation you’re going to have to stay off your feet for at least 3 weeks. That means no soccer.
M: Well, I was afraid you were going to say that.
W: Now. For the good news. (18) The biopsy shows the tumor is benign which means it is not cancerous. We’re going to take it out anyway, just to be on the safe side.
M: (20) Wow, that’s a load off my mind. Thanks doctor.
W: Don’t get too excited, we still need to get to the bottom of all this way of loathing...
M: I probably have just been so worried about stupid lump.
W: These things often are stress-related, but we’re still going to do a few blood tests just to rule a few things out.
M: Things like what? Cancer?
W: (19) Actually, I am thinking more along the line of food allergy.
