Question

　　Mr. Jackson worked in a hospital. A lot of patients went to see him and he was very busy and had little time to rest in the daytime. One night, when he looked over the last patient, it was five to one. He was too tired to say a word and lay down at once. As soon as he fell asleep, a farmer began to knock at the door and got him up.

　　“My wife is ill,” shouted the farmer, “Please go and look her over.” Mr. Jackson had to go with the farmer. It was the coldest night of the year and the road was covered with snow and ice. The farmer lived far away from the town and they went through a forest, crossed two rivers and a mountain. It took them three hours to get to the small house. And they were both tired, cold and hungry.

　　The woman stayed in bed. She looked fine. Mr. Jackson looked her over carefully and found there was nothing serious with her. He became angry. He called the farmer out and said, “Your wife is strong and healthy, you know. Why did you ask me to come here late at night?” “I'm sorry, sir,” said the farmer, “My wife never does anything at home. I thought she was ill. We're poor. In the day, when you are busy, I can't go for you. If you come to look her over at night when you are free, we'll pay you nothing.”

Answer 1

答案：B;D;C;A;D
解析：

整體把握：治病救人是醫(yī)生的天職，但這位醫(yī)生卻被一位農(nóng)民利用了一把，但是這個(gè)農(nóng)民也不是故意的，這就讓醫(yī)生啼笑皆非了。 (1) 點(diǎn)撥：從短文第一段倒數(shù)第二句可知。 (2) 點(diǎn)撥：他睡下時(shí)是0:55，然后又走了3小時(shí)，所以到達(dá)時(shí)間為3:55，接近4點(diǎn)。 (3) 點(diǎn)撥：從My wife never does anything at home. I thought she was ill.可知農(nóng)民的妻子不干活，不是因?yàn)樗�病了，而是因�(yàn)樗龖小?/P> (4) 點(diǎn)撥：從He became angry. He called the farmer out...看出，醫(yī)生對(duì)農(nóng)民生氣。 (5) 點(diǎn)撥：從短文最后一句可知。
