25、Louis Pasteur拯救患了狂 犬病的孩子的故事以及他对现代医学做出的巨大贡献。 4.B推理判断题。根据第一段“In the summer of 1885, nine-year-old Joseph Meister was very ill. He had been wounded by a sick dog that had rabies(狂犬病), a very dangerous disease. His parents were told that there was probably only one man who could save Josephs lifeLouis P
26、asteur.”可知,Joseph Meister生命垂危,他被患有狂犬病的 狗咬伤了,这是一种非常危险的疾病。他的父母得知或许只有 Louis Pasteur能救 Joseph的命。由此推断讲述 Joseph Meister的故事是为了引出文章主题,向读者介绍 Louis Pasteur以及他为人类做出的贡献。 5.B推理判断题。根据第二段中“Young Louis enjoyed watching the chemist as he worked and helped those people who came to him each day.”可知,年幼的 Louis喜欢看 药剂师工作和
27、帮助那些每天来他这儿的人们。由此推断他对医学感兴趣。 6.A推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“As a school boy, Pasteur worked slowly and carefully.(作为一个男生,Pasteur工作慢而细心。)”和最后一句“he continued to work very carefully.(他继续非常细心地工作。)”可知,他做事非常有耐心。 7.D主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是最后一段最后一句“The work of this great man has been of great help to modern medicine.(这位伟人的工作对现代医学有极大的帮 助。)”可知,本文主要讲述 Louis Pasteur是一位伟大的科学家。
