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.
From this passage it seems that the baby’s illness had something to do with ______.
选项
A、a dead writer
B、the water in Deleville
C、a dangerous murderer
D、a harmful substance (物质) used to kill pests
答案
D
解析
本题是对细节信息进行综合思考推断能力的考查。题中seems一词暗示考生须根据表层意义推断出隐含意义,或对文章提供的情景进行推理和概括,而不可凭借自己的主观看法去猜测。从最后一段第1句和末句了解到the baby确为铊中毒,而the poison则来自一种insecticide (杀虫剂),恰好与D项的解释一致。故推断出D项是正确的。
