高二英语完形填空困难题
Mrs. Jones was my first patient when I started medical school — and I owe her a lot.
She was under my care for the first two years of my medical training, yet I knew very little about her, except that she was thin, perhaps in her mid 70s. It might seem rather negligent not to know the basic facts of my patient, but I had a valid reason — Mrs. Jones was dead, and had been dead for about three years before I made a patient of her. Mrs. Jones was the dead body that I dissected (解剖) over the first two years of my medical training.
Of course, her name wasn’t really Mrs. Jones, but it seemed a little impolite to be conducting research into someone’s body without even knowing its name, so out of courtesy, I thought she should have one. “Me and Mrs. Jones, we’ve got a thing going on.” went the song coming out of the radio as I unzipped the bag of her on my first day — and so she was christened (命名).
As the months passed, I soon forgot that Mrs. Jones had, in fact, once been alive. One day, though, she suddenly became very human again. I’d been dissecting Mrs. Jones a good 18 months before I got around to the uterus (子宫). After I’d removed it, the professor came up to me, “If you look at the opening carefully, you’ll see that the angle indicates that this woman has had several children, probably three.” I stared at it, and I suddenly felt very strange. This woman, who had given me something incredibly precious that I’d begun to take for granted, wasn’t a dead body. She was a person, a mother, in fact.
At my graduation, the same professor came over to congratulate me. I explained the story about Mrs. Jones to him, and recalled what he’d told me about her having children and how that had affected me all those years ago.
“Well,” he said, “at the beginning of your training you had a dead body and managed to turn it into a person. Now you’re a doctor, the trick is to have a person and not turn them into a dead body,” and he laughed, shook my hand and walked away.
1.What does the underlined word “negligent” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Irresponsible. B.Pitiful.
C.Regretful. D.Miserable.
2.How did Mrs. Jones get her name?
A.She was named after the author’s favorite singer.
B.It came from a song being played during their first meet.
C.It was passed down from the seniors of the author’s school.
D.It just occurred to the author when he opened the bag of her.
3.What could be the author’s feeling for Mrs Jones Now?
A.Indifferent. B.Ashamed.
C.Grateful. D.Guilty.
4.What did the professor imply by his words in the last paragraph?
A.Medical students are able to bring the dead back to life.
B.Good doctors never fail to save their patients from dying.
C.Medical staff ought to have respect for life and humanity.
D.Being a doctor has nothing to do with the medical training.

“What’s going on, Amanda?” her dad asked as he was reading the newspaper.
“I have to create a webpage for my technology class, and it is taking a lot more time than I thought it would,” Amanda answered.
Her dad looked over his newspaper and asked Amanda what the webpage was about.
“It’s about the difference between newspaper news and Internet news,” Amanda said and added, “I have to provide information, examples and illustrations(插图).”
