Question

A man went to see his doctor one day, because he was suffering from pains in his stomach. After the doctor had examined him carefully, he said to him, “Well, there’s nothing really wrong with you, I’m glad to say. Your only trouble is that you worry too much. Do you know, I had a man with the same trouble as you here a few weeks ago, and I gave him the same advice as I am going to give you? He was worried because he couldn’t pay his tailor’s bills. I told him not to worry about the bills any more. He took my advice and when he came to see me again two days ago, he told me that he now felt quite all right again.” “Yes, I know all about that,” answered the patient sadly. “You see, I’m that man’s tailor!”

【解析】

本文是一个小故事。一天，一个男人因为他胃痛去看医生。医生仔细检查他之后，对他说：“嗯，你没有什么毛病，我很高兴这么说。你唯一的问题是你太担心了。你知道吗，几个星期前我在这儿遇到一个和你一样麻烦的人，我给他的建议和我给你的建议是一样的？他很担心，因为他付不起裁缝的帐单。我告诉他不要再担心账单了。他接受了我的劝告，两天前他再来看我的时候，他告诉我他现在感觉很好。“是的，我知道一切，”这个病人悲伤地回答。“你看，我是那个人的裁缝！“

1.句意：裁缝因为头痛去看医生。考查细节理解判断题。根据第一句A man went to see his doctor one day, because he was suffering from pains in his stomach.（一天，一个男人去看医生，因为他的胃痛。）可知裁缝因为头痛胃痛去看医生，而不是头痛。故此句是错误的，答案是F。

2.句意：裁缝没什么大不了的。考查细节理解判断题。根据医生对裁缝说的第一句there’s nothing really wrong with you, I’m glad to say.（我很高兴地说，你没有什么毛病。）可知此句是正确的，答案是T。

3.句意：几天前，一个男人遇到了和裁缝一样的麻烦。考查细节理解判断题。根据医生对裁缝说的第三句Do you know, I had a man with the same trouble as you here a few weeks ago（你知道吗，几个星期前我在这儿遇到一个和你一样麻烦的人。）可知是几个星期前，不是几天前，一个男人遇到了和裁缝一样的麻烦。故此句是错误的，答案是F。

4.句意：医生给了这个男人和裁缝同样的建议。考查细节理解判断题。根据医生对裁缝说的第三句中I gave him the same advice as I am going to give you（我给他的建议和我给你的相同。）可知“医生给了这个男人和裁缝同样的建议。” 可知此句是正确的，答案是T。

5.句意：裁缝很担心，因为男人付不起帐单。考查细节理解判断题。根据医生对裁缝说的第四和五句He was worried because he couldn’t pay his tailor’s bills. I told him not to worry about the bills any more. He took my advice and when he came to see me again two days ago, he told me that he now felt quite all right again.（他很担心，因为他付不起裁缝的帐单。我告诉他不要再担心账单了。他接受了我的劝告，两天前他再来看我的时候，他告诉我他现在感觉很好。）可知那个男人采纳了医生的建议，不担心账单了。结合医生对裁缝说的第二句Your only trouble is that you worry too much.（你唯一的麻烦就是担心太多。）和最后一句裁缝说“Yes, I know all about that,” answered the patient sadly. “You see, I’m that man’s tailor!”（“是的，我知道这些，”病人悲伤地回答。“你看，我是那个人的裁缝！“）可知“裁缝很担心，因为男人付不起帐单。” 可知此句是正确的，答案是T。
