題目列表(包括答案和解析)
A Scottish woman has given birth to twins for the third time. Karen Rodger, 41, welcomed her first pair of girls rowan and Isla after having twice given birth to twin boys.
“I still haven’t really taken it on board because I was convinced I was having two boys,” Rodger told Sky News. Karen said her husband Colin was equally stunned when the couple learned they were going to have their fifth and sixth child. “He thought I was joking and immediately wrote back to say 'this is not funny'. I had to explain that it really was true,” Karen said.
The average couple has about a 3 percent chance of having twins when not accounting for fertility(多產)drugs. And with each following pregnancy, the changes of producing twins a second, or even third time, become less.
Karen, a dance lecturer, first learned of the incredibly rare occurrence during a visit to her doctor and immediately texted her husband to share the news. “I just could not believe it. It never crossed my mind that it would be twins again. I just thought that wouldn’t happen to people like me, but I’m absolutely delighted,” she said.
64. According to Paragraph2, when the husband heard the news, he was____.
A. upset B. worried C. relieved D. shocked
65. What can we infer form Paragraph3?
A. The average couple would turn to fertility drugs.
B. The average couple gives birth to twins for a reason.
C. The average couple’s chance of having the new twins is rare.

A. she didn’t know she was pregnant again
B. she was happy to have twins again
C. she didn’t think she was different from others
D. she didn’t know how to tell her husband the news
67. After reading the passage, we know that Karen ____.
A. gave birth to the twin girls in her forties

I believe listening is powerful medicine. Studies have shown it takes a ___36___ about 18 seconds to interrupt a patient after he begins talking.
It was a Sunday. I had one last patient to see. I ___37___ her room in a hurry and stood at the doorway. She was an old woman, sitting at the edge of the bed, ___38___ to put socks on her swollen（腫脹）feet. I crossed the threshold（門檻）, spoke quickly to the nurse, and scanned her chart noting she was in stable condition. I was almost in the clear.
I ___39___ on the bedrail（床的欄桿）looking down at her. She asked if I could help put on her socks. Instead, I launched into a monologue（獨白） that went ___40___ like this, “How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high ___41___ they’re better today. The nurse mentioned you’re ___42___ to see your son who’s visiting you today. It’s nice to have family visit from far away. I bet you really look forward to seeing him.”
She ___43___ me with a serious, authoritative voice. “Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not your story.”

Each story is different. Some are detailed; others are vague. Some have a beginning, middle and end; others wander ___47___ a clear conclusion. Some are true; others not. Yet all those things do not really matter. What matters to the storyteller is that the story is heard without ___48___, assumption or judgment.
Listening to someone’s story costs ___49___ expensive diagnostic testing but is key to healing and diagnosis.
I often thought of ___50___ that woman taught me, and I ___51___ myself of the importance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. And, not long after, in a(n) ___52___ twist, I became the patient, with a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis（多發性硬化癥） at age 31. Now, 20 years later, I sit all the time in a wheelchair.

. My husband hasn’t stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It is funny now but it wasn’t at that time.
Last Friday, after doing all family 36 in town, I wanted a rest 37 catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the 38 coffee shop—that cheap, self–service place with long 39 to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to 40 a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.
When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next 41 . It was one of those wild-looking youngsters, 42 dark glasses and worn clothes, and 43 colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What did 44 me was that he had started to eat my chocolate.
Naturally, I was unhappy. However, to avoid 45 —and really I was rather 46
about him, I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee, and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me 47 , then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could
48 believe it. 49 I didn’t dare to make an argument(爭論). When he took a 50 piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, “Well, I shall have the last piece”. And I got it.
The boy 51 me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out,” This 52 is crazy.” Everyone stared. That was embarrassing（令人難堪的）enough, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready to 53 . My face went red—as red as his hair—when I 54 I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate that he had been taking. There was mine, unopened, just 55 my newspaper.
