Question

    One night about nine o’clock, Dr. Eyck, a surgeon (外科医生), had a phone call from Dr. Haydon at the hospital in Clens Falls. The surgeon was asked to go there at once to operate on a very sick boy who shot himself while playing with a gun.

The doctor was soon on his way to Clens Falls. It was 60 miles away. And it was snowing heavily in the city. The surgeon thought he could get there before 12 o’clock.

A few minutes later, the doctor was stopped by a man in an old black coat. Gun in hand, the man ordered the doctor to get out. Then the man drove the car down the road, leaving the doctor in the falling snow.

It was after two o’clock in the morning when the doctor arrived at the hospital in Clens Falls. Dr. Haydon told him that the boy had died an hour before.

The two doctors walked by the door of the hospital waiting room. There sat the man in the old black coat with his head in his hands.

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，外科医生Dr. Eyck接到医院电话要给一个重病的男孩做手术。他驱车赶往医院路上汽车被人抢走了, 他没有及时赶到，孩子去世了，后来发现抢车的竟然是男孩的父亲。

1.细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句"Then the man drove the car down the road, leaving the doctor in the flling snow."可知Dr. Eyck的汽车被抢走是他无法及时赶到的原因，故D项正确。

2.细节理解题。根据故事发展情节可知，首先男孩玩枪的时候伤到了自己，Dr. Eyck开车去动手术却被男孩的父亲抢走了汽车，男孩的父亲到了医院以后男孩死亡，最终Dr. Eyck到了医院。故C项正确。

3.细节理解题。根据It was after two o clock in the morning when the doctor arrived at the hospital in Clens Falls. Dr. Haydon told him that the boy had died an hour before.可知，医生没有及时赶到医院而导致孩子死亡，所以该选C。

4.推理判断题。根据最后两段There sat the man in the old black coat with his head in his hands. 和"MR. Cunningham," said Dr. Haydon to the man,“This is Dr. Eyck. He is the surgeon who came all the way from Albany to save your boy."可知，穿着旧的黑色外套的男人是死亡的男孩的父亲，正是他抢走了医生的汽车，导致医生无法及时赶到医院挽救他的儿子，所以男孩的父亲应该为孩子的去世负责。故A项正确。
