Question

    In England, people can go to see a doctor nearby when they're ill. When the doctor sees them, he usually asks about their troubles and soon gives them a prescription（处方）for some medicine.

Usually, when people feel ill, they go to see their doctors. But when they only have a cold, they don't go to see their doctors. They usually go to the medicine shop to buy some medicine. Only when they are very ill, will the doctor go to their houses. In an emergency（紧急情况）, people can call at 999 for an ambulance. The ambulance can take people to the hospital very soon. When they are in hospital, their families or friends can go to see them at a certain time（确定的）, but they can't stay long.

Often, people have to pay for the doctor's prescription, and the price is the same for any kind of medicine. But when children, students, old people or people without jobs go to see their doctors, they usually don't have to pay for their prescriptions.

【解析】

本文介绍了在英国，人们生病时可以去附近看医生。在紧急情况下，人们可以叫救护车。通常，人们必须为医生的处方付费。但是，当孩子、学生、老人或没有工作的人去看医生时，他们通常不必付处方费。

1.细节理解题。根据“In England, people can go to see a doctor nearby when they're ill.”可知，在英国，人们生病时可以在附近看医生。故选A。

2.细节理解题。根据“But when they only have a cold, … They usually go to the medicine shop to buy some medicine.”可知，如果人们感冒了，他们可以自己去药店买些药。故选B。

3.词义猜测题。根据划线词的下一句“…can take people to the hospital very soon.”_______很快就能把人送到医院。可以推知文中的ambulance应该是“救护车”的意思。此处是指在紧急情况下，人们可以打999叫救护车。救护车很快就能把人送到医院。故选C。

4.细节理解题。根据“But when children, students, old people or people without jobs go to see their doctors, they usually don't have to pay for their prescriptions.”但是，当孩子、学生、老人或没有工作的人去看医生时，他们通常不必付处方费。可知，十岁的玛丽生病时可以免费开处方。故选B。

5.细节理解题。根据“But when children, students, old people or people without jobs go to see their doctors, they usually don't have to pay for their prescriptions.”可知，但是，当孩子、学生、老人或没有工作的人去看医生时，他们通常不必付处方费。因此A正确；根据“In an emergency（紧急情况）, people can call at 999 for an ambulance.”可知，在紧急情况下，人们可以打999叫救护车。因此B正确；根据“When they are in hospital, their families or friends can go to see them at a certain time（确定的）, but they can't stay long.”可知，当他们住院时，他们的家人或朋友可以在某个时间去看他们，但他们不能呆太久。因此C正确；根据 “…, and the price is the same for any kind of medicine.”可知，此处是指开药的处方费用是一样的，而没有提到所有的药在英国都有同样的价格。因此D不对。故选D。
