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.
As far as we can tell from the story, Agatha Christie ______.
选项
A、had never met this baby
B、had spent a long time studying the baby’ s illness
C、visited the baby both in Deleville and London
D、gave the nurse some advice on, the telephone
答案
A
解析
本题是对细节信息推理的考查。题中关键词是Agatha Christie。经查找原文发现有两处提到这位作家(第1、3段)。第3段I read a story...by Agatha Christie...symptoms... written...are the same as..,说明护士是从Agatha Christie写的小说中知道这一症状的。因此可以推断Agatha Christie从未见过那女婴。所以A项是正确的。
