倒數(shù)第5天(6月1日)(2020·湖北卷)The technology is great.Without it we wouldn't have been able to put a man on the moon, explore the ocean's depths or eat microwave sausages.Computers have revolutionized our lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge.But sometimes this power can create more problems than it solves.Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients who've come into their surgery waving an Internet printout, convinced that they have some rare incurable disease, say, throat cancer.The truth is usually far more ordinary, though: they don't have throat cancer, and it's just that their throats are swollen.Being a graduate of the Internet “school” of medicine does not guarantee accurate selfhealthchecks.One day Mrs.Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work.While I took her blood sample and tried to find out what was wrong, she said calmly, “I know what's wrong; I've got throat cancer.I know there's nothing you doctors can do about it and I've just got to wait until the day comes.”As a matter of routine I ordered a chest Xray.I looked at it and the blood results an hour later.Something wasn't right.“Did your local doctor do an Xray？” I asked.“Oh, I haven't been to the doctor for years，” she replied.“I read about it on a website and the symptoms fitted, so I knew that's what I had.”However, some of her symptoms, like the severe cough and weight loss, didn't fit with itbut she'd just ignored this.I looked at the Xray again, and more tests confirmed it wasn't the cancer but tuberculosis (肺結(jié)核)something that most certainly did need treating, and could be deadly.She was lucky we caught it when we did.Mrs.Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure that she was fully recovered.It was certainly a lesson for her.“I'm_so_embarrassed，” she said, shaking her head, as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested.She listed up to about 20, and then I went to my office to type up my notes.Unexpectedly, the computer was not working, so I had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it.Typical.Maybe I should have a microwave sausage while I waited?1Mrs.Almond talked about her illness calmly because_.Ashe thought she knew it wellBshe had purchased medicine onlineCshe graduated from a medical schoolDshe had been treated by local doctors解析細節(jié)理解題。由文章第三段“.she said calmly，I know what's wrong; I've got throat cancer.I know there's nothing you doctors can do about it and I've just got to wait until the day comes.'”可知答案為A項。答案A2It was lucky for Mrs.Almond_.Ato have contacted many friendsBto have recovered in a short timeCto have her assumption confirmedDto have her disease identified in time解析細節(jié)理解題。由文章第六段可知更多的檢查表明她得的不是癌癥而是肺結(jié)核，由最后一句“She was lucky we caught it when we did.”可知她的病及時被發(fā)現(xiàn)所以她是幸運的。故正確答案為D項。答案D3Mrs.Almond said “I'm so embarrassed” (Para.7) because_.Ashe had distrusted her close friendsBshe had caused unnecessary troubleCshe had to refuse the doctor's adviceDshe had to tell the truth to the doctor解析由最后一段第三句話“I'm so embarrassed，she said, shaking her head, as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested.”可知答案為B項。答案B4By mentioning the breakdown of the computer, the author probably wants to prove_.Ait's a must to take a break at workBit's vital to believe in IT professionalsCit's unwise to simply rely on technologyDit's a danger to work long hours on computers解析推理判斷題。最后一段中作者提到了電腦出故障了，這與第一段要揭示的主題相呼應，主要證明不能完全依賴科技，故選C項。答案C
