Question

Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so.“Health is the greatest wealth(財富),” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or well when you are ill.
If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor.
The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story.
An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.
He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.　　
A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.
“But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”

解析試題分析：文章介紹了健康的重要性，同時講述了有病以后一定要看醫生，因為醫生的建議很有用，并舉例說明了醫生的話很有用。
【小題1】A 細節題。根據文章第一段Health is the greatest wealth(財富)說明作者認為健康是最重要的，故A正確。
【小題2】B 細節題。根據第三段第三行After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine.說明在進行了一系列的檢查以后，醫生會給出建議，故B正確，
【小題3】A 猜測詞義題。根據本句He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.　　他對醫生表示感謝，同時這里還使用了否定詞與比較級連用表示最高級，指他感覺最健康。故A正確。
【小題4】B 文章到第二段開始列舉了很多的例子，說明本文是通過舉例說明的方法來組織全文的，故B正確。
【小題5】D 推理題。根據文章第一段說健康最重要，說明A錯誤；根據文章第二段說明醫生會仔細檢查病人，B錯誤。根據文章第二段人感覺不好的時候要去看醫生，說明C錯誤。根據第三段最后一句話The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.可知我們要聽醫生的話，是因為醫生的建議通常是有效的。故D正確。
