hey founded the WaterStone Clinic, a private eating disorder center in Toronto. Since the facility opened, 170 clients have received treatment. They take yoga, do art therapy and participate in meal preparation, building reallife skills with a support team. Programs run weekdays from 8 a. m. to 2 p. m., and notably, so far WaterStone has no waiting list. But this approach is costly: approximately $650 per day. Realizing that the price tag puts WaterStone out of reach for many, the Duffys created the WaterStone Foundationa charity that provides aid to patients who can39。t afford treatment the following year. Candidates are assessed by two mittees that make a decision based on clinical and financial need. Since 2014, the foundation has helped 100 people. Duffy also wants to change the public system. In June of this year, the foundation awarded $170, 000 to four Ontario hopitals offering creative treatment to eating disorder patients. Yes, people need private treatment, she says, but it39。s important to help out on a broader scale, too.(1)Why did Duffy think they were fortunate?

We could pay for everything.可知,他們支付得起醫(yī)療費用,因此感到很幸運,故選B。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“But many can39。t. According to a report released in November 2014 by the Standing Committee on the Status of Women, between 600, 000 and one million Canadians suffer from an eating disorder. Public in patient programs often won39。t admit patients until they39。re in lifethreatening condition.”可知,但是很多人都支付不起這筆費用,很多人患有飲食問題,住院部只會收納那些有生命危險的病人,而私人診所的費用卻很高昂,可知很多人不能享受醫(yī)療服務,故選C。 (3)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的…a charity that provides aid to patients who can39。t afford treatment…以及Candidates are assessed by two mittees that make a decision based on clinical and financial need。滿足兩個條件就可以獲得WaterStone Foundation的贊助:付不起款的,并且病狀嚴重者,故選A。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的…but it39。s important to help out on a broader scale…意思是在更大范圍內(nèi)給這樣的病人提供幫助是重要的。言外之意就是公立醫(yī)院應該更多的幫助這類病人,故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查,是一篇故事類閱讀,考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。8.閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中,選出最佳選項。 Kincaid looked at his watch: eightseventeen. The truck started on the second try, and he backed out, shifted gears, and moved slowly down the alley under hazy sun. Through the streets of Bellingham he went, heading south on Washington 11, running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles, then following the highway as it swung east a little before meeting Route 20. Turning into the sun, he began the long, winding drive through the Cascades. He liked this country and felt unpressed stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called memory snapshots. The purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously. In later afternoon he turned north at Spokane, picking up . Route 2, which would take him halfway across the northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota. He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog, a golden retriever, maybe, for travels like this and to keep him pany at home. But he was frequently away。 overseas much of the time and it would not be fair to the animal. Still, he thought about it anyway. In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard fieldwork. I must get a dog then. He said to himself. Drives like this always put him into a sentimental mood. The dog was part of it. Robert Kincaid was alone as it39。s possible to be—an only child, parents both dead, distant relatives who had lost track of him and he of them, no close friends. He thought about Marian. She had left him nine years ago after five years of marriage. He was fiftytwo now, that would make her just under forty. Marian had dreams of being a musician, a folksinger. She knew all of the Weavers39。 songs and sang them pretty well in the coffeehouse of Seattle. When he was home in the old days, he drove her to the shows and sat in the audience while she sang. His long absences—two or three months sometimes—were hard on the marriage. He knew that. She was aware of what he did when they decided to get married, and both of them had a vague sense that it could all be handled somehow. It couldn39。t when he came from photographing a story in Iceland and she was gone. The note read, Robert, it didn39。t work out. I left you the Harmony guitar. Stay in touch. He didn39。t stay in touch. Neither did she. He signed the divorce papers when they arrived a year later and caught a plane for Australia the next day. She had asked for nothing except her freedom.(1)Which route is the right one taken by Kincaid? A.Bellingham—Washington 11—Puget Sound— Route 20— Route 2—DuluthB.. Route 2—Bellingham—Washington 11—Puget Sound— Route 20—DuluthC.. Route 2— Route 20—Duluth –Bellingham—Washington 11D.Bellingham—Washington 11—.
