经典考题:
例1:1999年1月真题
10.[A]The admission of a patient.[B]Diagnosis of an illness.
[C]The old man's serious condition.[D]Sending for a doctor
原文:M:Hello,this is Doctor Marita from the emergency department.I have a 70?year?old patient with a fractured ankle.
W:OK,send him to ward 3.
Q:What are they talking about on the phone?
答案:A
解析:通过选项的内容可以猜到题目很可能与医疗场景相关。由原文的答案信息点Doctor,emergency department,patient,fractured ankle以及send him to ward 3(送到三号病房)可知,两人正在谈论接收病人,即the admission of a patient。
例2:2006年6月真题
8.[A]In a restaurant.[B]In the library.
[C]At the dentist's.[D]At a bookstore.
原文:M:I'm afraid there won't be time to do another tooth today.Make sure you don't eat anything like steaks for the next few hours.And we'll fill the other cavity tomorrow.
W:All right!Actually,I must hurry to the library to return some books.
Q:Where does the conversation most probably take place?
答案:C
解析:通过选项的内容可知该题就地点提问。由原文答案信息点tooth,eat,fill the other cavity(补另一颗蛀牙)可知答案是牙医诊所。迷惑选项是B项library,因为女士的回答中提到了这个单词。
