　　答案与简析：

　　本文讲的是病人对医生的医嘱很信服，在很大程度上医生的话会对病人产生很大的影响。

　　1.C。2.A。physician是内科医生，surgeon是外科医生，在无特指的情况下，一般用医生

　　3.D。从下文中and sometimes can be powerful可看出，此空应选肯定式。Does exist是强调谓语动词。

　　4.A。本句意思是"不管一个人是意识到还是没意识到，这种影响确实是存在的"。whether...or...连接的是两个句子。

　　5.C。从后文中可看出Mrs.Green夜间睡不着觉，很疲劳。因此，应选C。uncapable后应接介词of。

　　6.C。四个选项均是形容词，从句法看，任何一个都是对的。但是从语意看只有C最符合句意。

　　7.A。这是一个the more...the more...句型，冠词后要加一个形容词或副词比较级。

　　8.C。注意这个定语从句中的谓语动词是过去完成式，从句意看Mrs.Green认识这个大夫已经好多年了，若选D则谓语用一般过去式。

　　9.B。句法上，四个选项都可以，但是从语意看只有B最合适，该句的意思是"大夫为Mrs.Green认真地做了检查"。

　　10.C。从句法上看只有C正确。副词seriously修饰形容词wrong。

　　11.C。该句前半句是"你身体没什么大毛病"。后半句是"我承认你感觉不舒服这个事实"。两个分句之间就是转折的关系。

　　12.A。从下文中看大夫给了Mrs. Green一些药丸。这实际上就是答案的"迟后现象"，看前文不知道选哪一个，但往后阅读，有些文章的答案就会有暗示出现。

　　13.B。吃药，to take a medicine为固定搭配。

　　14.D。15.C。

　　16.A。上文中有call me，这句中Mrs. Green肯定是打电话告诉大夫其感觉如何，这符合情节。

　　17.C。从句意上看，若Mrs. Green昨晚仍睡不好，她不会用这样的词了，所以，该句表示她昨晚睡了个好觉。

　　18.D。该句问的是："你这药到底有什么成分？"

　　19.D。

　　20.C。看大夫的"药方"--苏打还真"灵验"。这与文章第一段的the effect of the mind upon the body does exist相呼应："这也真是太棒了"。

　　As I thought, another aged lady entered the shop and sat down with her. Soon the two of them were 8 child hood days. They talked of how little the shop had changed in 70 years...In minutes, the two of them were shaking with laughter.

　　I looked 9 at the first woman, then in the 10 on a nearby wall, catching a picture of myself. I was 11 a dirty shirt. She was well dressed in white, her 12 shining with gold rings.I was 13 .

She was old, but it wasn't 18 her.

　　As I left the shop, I 19 my foolish question about God letting people live past their youth. 20 , that woman was more alive, more sensitive to life, than I was. Age has not bent her spirit.

　　答案与简析：

　　1.前面讲到天气很热，到冰淇淋店里去吃一块冰淇淋是为了凉快一下。故选B。

　　2.根据后面little round table sand chairs以及后面"两位老太太进去"这些信息，这家店不可能是现代的漂亮的，或很难看的店，故选A。

　　3.below和under显然不妥，above指"在……上方"，一般不指垂直的上方。Bend over sth.指垂直的上方。是一个常见的搭配，指腾空的弯腰俯身在……上，故选C。

　　4.句中指老太太的背弯得很厉害，当然选D。

　　5.前面讲到老太太的背弯得很厉害，可见这里指她的脸差点儿碰到桌面上，故本题选B。

　　6.这个故事发生在一个冰淇淋小店里，所以用miles, kilometers, inches来表示两人之间的距离显然不妥，指的相隔几张桌子的距离，故选A。

　　7.本句指的是作者可怜那位老太太而发出的感叹："她从生活中能得到什么乐趣呢？"根据get这一动词，我们选D。get sth. out of sth.是一个常用搭配。

　　8.根据上下文，不难看出，这里指这两位老太太很快就在谈论她们童年的日子了。discuss指正式讨论。speak后应该加of才能表示"谈及"，而debate指辩论。故选B。

　　9.根据上文，作者看到过一次第一个老太太，这里指作者又一次看到她，而且两次所看到的有不同的感觉，故应选D。

　　10.根据句中的"on the wall"和"catching a picture of myself"这些信息，我们可以判断出不可能是"窗子"。因为墙上的窗子要用介词in。也不是newspaper和TV，因为自己的像不可能出现在这些东西里，故选C。

　　11.wear是"穿着"；dress后应接sb.；put on表示"穿上"；have on也表示"穿着"，但不能用进行式。本句的意思是"我穿着一件旧衬衫"，故选B。

　　12.据后面shining with gold ring来判断，金戒指必定是戴在手上的，故选A。

　　13.作者开头可怜老太太，经过观察对比，觉得自己才可怜，所以本题选D。

　　14.这里指的是作者在跟那个老太太对比时把自己的生活中的一件件事情联系起来，故只能选B。

　　15.这里指的是老太太的回顾，从上文可以看出，老太太的回顾应该是美好的，故选C。

　　16.本题看起来四个答案都可以，但仔细分析一下，只有A是正确答案，这里sharing the day是分享欢乐的一天，而不是一般的度过、消磨时间的意思。

　　17.看看别人，想想自己，作者显然担心自己衰老，故选D。

　　18.作者在上文把自己和那位老太太作了对比，觉得自己不如那位老太太，自己老了的处境很难设想，而变老没有伤害那位老太太，故选B。

　　19.这里指离开小店时，作者想起了自己的一个愚蠢的问题。realize, give up和wonder都没有"想起"这一意思，故答案为D。

　　20.四个答案中只有why可作为感叹词，when, whether, how都不能作感叹词，而句中显然需要一个感叹词，不是连词，文后面有逗号，故选C。相当于"啊"的意思，就是"作为回报"的意思。其余几个词显然不妥。
