1．
There are great doctors and perhaps it is enough to say that Dr Charles Mayo was one．
36
，it is not enough for me．
Charles Mayo was not a
37
of mine in the sense that he would
38
by for dinner or remember my daughter’s graduation．We were not that
39
，for he lived in Minnesota and I lived in California．He was a friend in the sense that he
40
more like a friend than a doctor when he was being a doctor．
I got very close to him just once．More
41
，he got very close to me．I was flying my own plane to Washington and I felt a serious
42
in my back．It turned around，
43
for a clinic nearby and got in
44
with Dr Jan，my doctor．Jan at once said I had appendicitis (阑尾炎) and I told him he was the
45
doctor I had ever met．“I have no fever and any other symptoms of it．How can I
46
have appendicitis?”
“If you want to
47
better as quickly as possible，we’ll have Charles Mayo look at you．”It took Charles Mayo about thirty seconds to
48
to Jan’s request．
Charles was washing his hands when I was
49
into the operation room．I said，my
50
shaking，“You have done this before，haven’t you?”
“Of course，”he said．“Twice．”
Among all his interests he was craziest about being a doctor．He faced
51
often enough to know that while it is final in a sense，it is not
52
final at all．He enjoyed
53
too much not to know that it has a meaning beyond here and now．
54
he died on July 29，1968，at the age of seventy，following an accident，he lived on in the
55
of his books．I am glad he wrote them，giving people the feeling that we still have him．

本文讲述了一个人的后车轮附近藏着一只蜂王，导致一群蜜蜂追随它的汽车的故事。
36. B。这里指的是人与昆虫的区别，注意下文提到的the former(前者)和the latter(后者)是在对两者的不同作比较。
37. C。根据常识可知，偷乘车辆或船只的人通常都会尽量不让人发现。make effort to do sth 固定词组，“尽力做做某事”，make every possible effort to do sth 的意思是“尽一切可能做某事”
38. D。句中的while 表对比。前面说偷乘车辆或船只的人通常都会尽量不让人发现，而“偷”乘车辆或船只的昆虫则不同，怎么个不同？那就是它们会draw attention (引起注意)。
39. A。根据下文可知，这个人很不走运。
40. C。指从一个山村出发去伦敦。比较：set out 出发，动身；pass by从……旁经过；leave out 遗漏，漏掉；get up起床。
41. B。根据文章最后一段倒数第2句He found the unwelcome passenger hidden near the wheels at the back. of the car 可知，此处应填 back。
42. D。指司机听到从车后面传来有奇怪的声音，所以他就下车来检查(examine)一下，看是什么原因。
43. B。既然通过检查没有发现什么问题，所以他就继续(continue)赶路。
44. D。比较：immediately 立即，马上；normally 正常地；gently轻柔地；actually实际上。由于是一种奇怪的声音，并且他几次下车查看，说明这种声音不算normally；又由于后面说…became even louder，说明它不gently；actually 在此不合语境。故选D，指车一开动，又马上出现了那种声音。
45. B。由于声音是从后面传来的，所以当司机再一次听到这种声音时，他马上回过头来看。比较：turn one’s head 转头，调头；hide one’s head 藏起某人的头；shake one’s head 摇头；raise one’s head 抬起头。
46. A。根据下文可知，跟在车后的是一群蜜蜂，作者把它形容成一团乌云，故用black。
47. C。根据上下文语境可知，这群蜜蜂不是在车底，不是在附近，也不是前面，而是在车后面。
48. D。司机尽量把车开快希望能甩掉其后的蜜蜂，这样的的驾驶肯定很hard。
49. A。根据下文提到a customer 可排除B、C、D。
50. D。It was not long before... 是固定句型，其意为“不久以后”。
51. C。因为这位看见他停车的顾客发现他的车上满是蜜蜂，所以就匆忙匆忙(hurried)进来告诉他。
52. B。比较：be crowded with 挤满了……；be covered with 被……所覆盖；be filled with装满……；be equipped with 由……所装备。根据语境，只有B较合适。
53. A。advise sb that… 意为“建议某人……”，此处用的是该结构的被动式，其意为“有人建议他……”。
54. A。要对付这批蜜蜂，显然只有bee-keeper(养蜂人)最合适。。
55. C。比较：unexpected 想不到的，未预料到；unfamiliar 不熟悉的；unknown不知道的；uncertain不确定的。对于一个bee-keeper 来说，突然得到这么多蜜蜂，当然属于 unexpected了。
