Question

The farmer and his cow

A farmer had a cow. He took very good care of his cow. One day it was ill, the farmer was very worried. He telephoned the vet.

“What’s the problem?” the vet asked the farmer when he arrived. “My cow is ill,” said the farmer.” I don’t know what’s the matter with her. She’s lying down and doesn’t eat. She’s making a strange noise.”

The vet looked at the cow. “She’s certainly ill,” he said, “ and she needs to take some strong medicine.”

He took a bottle out of his box, put two pills into his hand and said, “ Give her these. The pills should make her better.”

“How should I give them to her? The farmer asked.

The vet gave him a tube(管子) and said, “Put this tube in her mouth, then put the pills in the tube and blow. That’ll make it.”

The next day the vet came to the farm again. The farmer was sitting outside his house and looked worried.

“How’s your cow?” asked the vet.

“No change,” the farmer said, “ and I’m feeling very strange myself.”

“Oh?” the vet said, “Why?”

“I did what you said,” the farmer answered. “I put the tube in the cow’s mouth and then put the two pills down it.”

“And?” the vet asked.

“The cow blew first,” the farmer said.

试题分析：短文大意：一个农夫有一头牛。他很好的照顾他的牛。有一天它生病了，农夫很担心。他打电话请兽医来给牛看病。

1.根据第一段中One day it was ill, the farmer was very worried. He telephoned the vet.这个农夫的奶牛病了，他就找vet，说明vet是给动物看病的人，是兽医。所以选D。

2.The vet looked at the cow. “She’s certainly ill,” he said, “ and she needs to take some strong medicine.” He took a bottle out of his box, put two pills into his hand and said, “ Give her these. The pills should make her better.”兽医看着牛。“她一定是病了，”他说，“她需要采取强有力的药物。”他从B牛拿了一个瓶子，把药放在他手里，说，“把这些给她。这药应该能治好她。”所以该选D。

3. took a bottle out of his box, put two pills into his hand.他从盒子里拿出了一个瓶子，把药放在他手里，所以该选C。

4. vet gave him a tube (管子)and said, "Put this tube in her mouth, then put the pills in the tube and blow. That’ll make it."兽医是在教他如何让奶牛吃药。可知该选B。
