例1:1999年1月真題
10.[A]The admission of a patient.[B]Diagnosis of an illness.
[C]The old man's serious condition.[D]Sending for a doctor
原文:M:Hello,this is Doctor Marita from the emergency department.I have a 70?year?old patient with a fractured ankle.
W:OK,send him to ward 3.
Q:What are they talking about on the phone?
答案:A
解析:通過(guò)選項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容可以猜到題目很可能與醫(yī)療場(chǎng)景相關(guān)。由原文的答案信息點(diǎn)Doctor,emergency department,patient,fractured ankle以及send him to ward 3(送到三號(hào)病房)可知,兩人正在談?wù)摻邮詹∪?即the admission of a patient。
