三、阅读理解
I am Peter Hodes, a volunteer stem cell courier. Since March 2012, I’ve done 89 trips of those, 51 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells(干细胞) in my little box because I’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.
I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you---there are no flights from Washington. ”So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient- please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom. ”She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re- routed(改道) me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.
For this courier job, you’re consciously aware that in that box you’ve got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.
1. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph 1?

B. The donor can only wait for that long.
C. The operation needs that much time.
D. The ice won’t last any longer.
3. Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?
A. To London. B. To Newark.
C. To Providence. D. To Washington.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。大家都知道,医生是救死扶伤的典范。作者虽然不是医生,但他的工作也与很多人的性命息息相关。
1.B 词义猜测题。根据画线单词后的“I’ve done 89 trips”以及 “…from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor to the time they can be implanted in the patient,we’ve got 72 hours…”可知,“我”是一个运送干细胞的人,运送有严格的时间限制。故选B项。其他三项的意思:provider供应者;collector收集者,收藏家;medical doctor医生。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第一段的 “I have 42 hours to carry stem cells in my little box because I’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. ”可知,保存干细胞的冰只能维持42个小时,所以“我”必须在这个时间内送达。故选D项。A、B、C三项在文中未提及。
3.B 细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句 “She arranged for a flight…for me,re-routed me through Newark and got me back to the UK…”可知,她先安排“我”去了Newark,然后再转到英国。故选B项。
