Question

    Constantin Levaditi was born in Galati, Romania in 1874. His family was poor and his father was a Greek immigrant who worked in the Galati port and his mother was Romanian. When he was only six years old he had to start working in a shop as both of his parents fell ill. His job was to deliver orders from his uncle’s shop.

After two years his parents died and he was taken into care by one of his relatives who worked as a nurse in a hospital. His relative noticed that he was very smart and sent him to school. After graduating from high school, he decided to study at the medical school in Bucharest where he studied under Professor Victor Babes.

Levaditi became a doctor in 1902 and then he specialized in researching tuberculosis (结核病) in Paris at the Louis Pasteur Institute and to Frankfurt, at the Experimental Therapy Institute. He also managed to contribute to the invention of the anti-polio vaccine (消除小儿麻痹症的疫苗) in1913.

Levaditi returned to Romania in 1919 as a researcher to teach at university but Romanian universities did not accept him as he criticized Romania’s national health system and its political parties. He often said that it was not acceptable that the government did not care for its people and that there were not enough doctors and hospitals. Thus, he returned to France to continue his research in 1920. That same year he was invited to lead the Rockefeller Institute in New York but he refused.

In 1926 Levaditi became a member of the Romanian Academy. Later on, he was in charge of the bacteriology (细菌学) French school and he devoted his last years to research on antibiotics (抗生素) and other medicines.

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。本文介绍了Constantin Levaditi生活，学业，以及在医学上的基本情况。

1.推理判断题。根据第一段When he was only six years old he had to start working in a shop as both of his parents fell ill. His job was to deliver orders from his uncle’s shop. 当他只有六岁的时候，他就开始在一家商店工作了，因为他的父母都生病了。他的工作是给他叔叔的商店送货。根据第二段After two years his parents died 两年后，他的父母去世了。所以前两段告诉了我们莱瓦迪蒂在很小的时候就没有了父母。故选C项。

2.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段 he criticized Romania’s national health system and its political parties. ...Thus, he returned to France to continue his research in 1920.可知，他批评了罗马尼亚的国家医疗系统和政党说政府不关心人民，没有足够的医生和医院，这是不能接受的。这导致了Constantin Levaditi1920年回到法国继续他的研究。由此判断出，莱瓦迪提于1920年返回法国的一个原因是他对罗马尼亚卫生系统的不满意。故选B项。

3.细节理解题。根据第三段Levaditi became a doctor in 1902 and then he specialized in researching tuberculosis (结核病) in Paris 可知，莱瓦迪蒂在1902年成为一名医生，之后他在巴黎专门研究肺结核。根据最后一段 In 1926 Levaditi became a member of the Romanian Academy. Later on, he was in charge of the bacteriology (细菌学) French school and he devoted his last years to research on antibiotics (抗生素) and other medicines.可知，1926年，莱瓦迪蒂成为罗马尼亚科学院的成员。后来，他负责法国细菌学学校，并将他的最后几年致力于抗生素和其他药物的研究。 所以A选项是四个选项中最先发生的事情。故选A项。

4.主旨大意题。通读全文可知 ，短文从第一段Constantin Levaditi was born in Galati, Romania in 1874.康斯坦丁·莱瓦迪蒂于1874年出生在罗马尼亚的加拉蒂。至最后一段In 1926 Levaditi became a member of the Romanian Academy. Later on, he was in charge of the bacteriology (细菌学) French school and he devoted his last years to research on antibiotics (抗生素) and other medicines.1926年，莱瓦迪蒂成为罗马尼亚科学院的成员。后来，他负责法国细菌学学校，并将他的最后几年致力于抗生素和其他药物的研究。以时间为线索介绍了康斯坦丁·莱瓦迪蒂生活，学业，以及在医学上的发展。所以短文主要是关于斯坦丁·莱瓦迪蒂的简介。故选B项。
