Everybody may have seen the film "Death on the Nile (尼罗河) ," but nobody can imagine that the writer of the story, Agatha Christie, saved a baby in a most unusual way.
In June 1977, a baby girl became seriously ill in Deleville. Doctors there were unable to find out the cause of her illness, so she was sent to a famous hospital in London, where there were many excellent doctors. The baby was so seriously iii that a team of doctors hurried to examine her without any delay. The doctors, too, were puzzled by the baby’s illness, and they also became discouraged. Just then a nurse asked to speak to them.
"I think the baby is suffering from thallium (铊) poisoning," said the nurse~ "A few days ago, I read a story ’A Pale Horse’ written by Agatha Christie. Someone uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms (症状) are written in the book. They are exactly the same as the baby’s."
"You’re very good at observing things, "said a doctor, "and you may be right. We’ll carry out some tests and find out whether the cause is thallium poisoning or not."
The tests proved that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium. Once they knew that cause, the doctors were able to give her correct treatment. The baby soon got well and was sent back to Deleville. A week later it was reported that the poison might have come from an insecticide (杀虫剂) used in Deleville.
When the baby was first sent to the hospital in London, her illness was considered to be ______.
选项
A、quite easy to treat
B、the result of thallium poisoning
C、a common one
D、extraordinarily serious
答案
D
解析
本题是对细节信息归纳和推理的考查。其中关键词为when first sent...considered。按照故事的发展情节很容易从第2段第3、4句中知道the baby到London后的情况。通过文中a team of doctors(许多医生)...puzzled(困惑)...discouraged(气馁),可以推断她病得严重。A容易治、B铊中毒反应、C一般病症,不合乎逻辑推理,是错误的。唯有D项符合上下文情节,是正确的。
