It was a cold spring morning in London. People walking in the street were wearing heavy clothes. The weather had been very bad for the past week, and now many people were ill. Today there were quite a few people in the doctors waiting room. There were still a few minutes before the doctor started seeing the patients (患者).A woman of about sixty years old was at the front of the queue (排队). She did not live in this city. She came from a farm north of London. She was here to visit her daughter who was a secretary in a big company. She wanted to see the doctor because of her back problem. Soon an Indian (印地安人) came into the waiting room, and walked straight to the doctors door. When she saw this, the old woman stood up and took hold of his arm. She said, slowly, "We were all here before you. You must wait for your turn. Do ... you ... understand?" The Indian answered, "No, madam. YOU dont understand! Youre all after me! I am the doctor!"

　　1. The change of weather made a lot of people sick.[A] Right [B] Wrong [C] Doesnt say.

　　2. The old womans home was in London.[A] Right [B] Wrong [C] Doesnt say

　　3. The old womans daughter was at the doctors, too.[A] Right [B] Wrong [C] Doesnt say.

　　4. The old woman thought the man was the doctor.[A] Right [B] Wrong [C] Doesnt say.

　　5. All the other people in the room knew the Indian was the doctor.[A] Right [B] Wrong [C] Doesnt say.

　　【名师精解】本题的正确答案是：[A],[B],[C],[B],[C].第一小题从The weather had been very bad for the past week, and now many people were ill.中可以知道人们得病得原因是坏天气，所以是对的；第二小题从She came from a farm north of London.可知The old womans home was not in London but in a farm north of London.所以此说法是错的；第三小题从原文中找不到与之对应的表述，所以是没有提及。此题需要注意不能因为A woman of about sixty years old was at the front of the queue.这句话就判断此表述错误，因为此句中并不能排除the old womans daughter在诊所的可能；第四小题从When she saw this, the old woman stood up and took hold of his arm. She said, slowly, "We were all here before you. You must wait for your turn. Do ... you ... understand?"中可以明显看出The old woman didn’t think the man was the doctor.所以此说法是错误的；第五小题在原文中也没有与之对应的表述，文中只叙述了the old woman的表现，并没有叙述其他人的表现，所以此针对all the people 的表述是没有提及的。
