Question

【題目】Five years after a donor's bone marrow (骨髓)saved a pair of twin girls’ lives, the girls , Elizabeth and Kathryn ,from Minnesota got the chance to thank the man face to face.

The girls’ mother, Michele, said, “To think that somebody who didn’t know your children was selfless enough to give bone marrow to save them is amazing. They gave him giant hugs and danced the night away with him like they had known him before.”

The meeting came together thanks to Be the Match, a community of donors, volunteers, health care professionals and researchers.

The girl were born with a rare disorder that left them without any blood platelets(血小板).The bone marrow transplant was needed to change their DNA to avoid their organs shutting down.

Michele, her husband, and their son, tested negative when it came to being a match for the girls. They were put on the Be the Match list, which finally found Gruda.

“I become breathless,' Michele said about finding a match. " because there are still so many things that could go wrong even though you have a donor."

Due to the uncertain result, the girls had to have their transplants done separately. Elizabeth’s was in 2011, and Kathryn’s was in 2012. The two girls also had to undergo chemotherapy(化療).

The family was finally able to express their gratitude in person after Be the Match flew Gruda to Minnesota from Germany.

Gruda, who has three children of his own, tried to donate to a local girl in his town nearly 30 years ago but was not a match. Five years ago, he received a phone call that he was a match for the sisters and didn't hesitate to donate. His bone marrow was flown from Germany to use in the transplant.” “My three children rejoiced(高興) that I came through as the best donor for the girls,' hetold Be the Match.

Both sisters are now completely healthy and 100 percent cured.

【解析】文章講述骨髓捐贈(zèng)者救了一對(duì)雙胞胎女孩，她們有機(jī)會(huì)與捐贈(zèng)者面對(duì)面

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段Michele的話(huà)“because there are still so many things that could go wrong even though you have a donor”因?yàn)榧词褂辛艘粋�(gè)捐獻(xiàn)捐獻(xiàn)者，仍然有許多事情會(huì)出錯(cuò)。可推知他們害怕糟糕的事情發(fā)生。故選B。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第七段“Due to the uncertain result, the girls had to have their transplants done separately." 由于不確定的結(jié)果，女孩不得不單獨(dú)做移植手術(shù)。故選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“Gruda, who has three children of his own, tried to donate to a local girl in his town nearly 30 years ago but was not a match. Five years ago, he received a phone call that he was a match for the sisters and didn't hesitate to donate. His bone marrow was flown from Germany to use in the transplant.” Gruda，擁有三個(gè)孩子，在三十年前就曾給當(dāng)?shù)氐囊粋�(gè)女孩捐贈(zèng)，可惜配型沒(méi)有成功。而當(dāng)他獲知自己是適配者之后，立刻就同意了捐贈(zèng)骨髓，由此可知，他隨時(shí)都有捐贈(zèng)骨髓的準(zhǔn)備。故選A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最一段“Both sisters are now completely healthy and 100 percent cured.”可知，姐妹倆已空完全康復(fù)了。故選D。
