Question

Shu Pulong has helped at least 1 000 people bitten（咬）by snakes. “I was seeing people with snake bites（傷口）that led me to this career.” He said.

In 1963, after his army service, Shu entered a medical school and later became a doctor of Chinese medicine. As part of his studies he had to work in the mountains. There he often heard of people who had their arms and legs out off after a snake bite in order to save their lives.

“I was greatly upset by the story of an old farmer I met. It was a very hot afternoon. The old man was pulling grass in his fields when he felt a pain in his left hand. He at once realized he had been bitten by a poisonous snake. In no time he wrapped a cloth tightly around his arm to stop the poison spreading to his heart. Rushing home he shouted ‘bring me the knife’. Minutes later the man lost his arm forever.”

“The sad story touched me so much that I decided to devote myself to helping people bitten by snakes,” Shu said.

答案：D;B;A;C;D
解析：

1、本題要求根據文章大意為本篇新聞報道選擇最好的標題，因為文章的中心思想一般都落在文章的開頭或結尾，而標題又是中心思想的高度而又精辟的概括，所以答案為D。 2、本題是細節題，文中“…people who had their arms and legs cut off after a snake bite in order to save their lives.”和“bring me the knife!”是本題的重要信息詞及句子。 3、從文章最后一句醫生所說的話可得知答案。 4、文章第二段一句話As part of his studies he had to work in the mountains為本題提供了信息。 5、這是一道詞義判斷題，根據上下文可猜測career的意思為 job。
