8. How is the Saint Lukas different from other trains?
- A. It runs across countries.
- B. It reserves seats for the seniors.
- C. It functions as a hospital.
- D. It travels along a river.
答案：C
答案句：The Saint Lukas train doesn’t accept passengers — it accepts only the sick. … The Saint Lukas is one of five government-sponsored medical trains that travel to remote towns in central and eastern Russia. … Each stop lasts an average of two days, and during that time the doctors and nurses on board provide rural (乡村) populations with basic medical care, X-ray scans and prescriptions.
参考译文：圣卢卡斯号列车不接收乘客——它只接收病人。圣卢卡斯号是五列政府资助的医疗列车之一，前往俄罗斯中部和东部的偏远城镇。每次停靠平均持续两天，在此期间，车上的医生和护士为农村人口提供基本医疗护理、X光扫描和处方。
定位线索：题干“How is the Saint Lukas different from other trains”→答案句取自第1段“The Saint Lukas train doesn’t accept passengers — it accepts only the sick”；文中“accepts only the sick”“provide rural populations with basic medical care”对应选项C“It functions as a hospital”。
解析：题干问圣卢卡斯号与其他火车的不同之处，答案句明确指出它不接收乘客而只接收病人，并说明车上提供医疗护理、X光扫描和处方，这直接对应选项C“它充当医院的功能”。选项A“它跨国运行”、B“为老年人预留座位”、D“沿河行驶”在原文中均无提及，属于无中生有。
9. What can we infer from paragraph 3 about Krasnoyarsk?
- A. It is heavily populated.
- B. It offers training for doctors.
- C. It is a modern city.
- D. It needs medical aid.
答案：D
答案句：Russia’s public health care service has been in serious need of modernization. The government has struggled to come up with measures to address the problem, particularly in the poorer, rural areas east of the Volga River, including arranging doctor’s appointments by video chat and expanding financial aid programs to motivate doctors to practice medicine in remote parts of the country like Krasnoyarsk.
参考译文：俄罗斯的公共医疗保健服务急需现代化。政府一直在努力想出措施来解决这个问题，特别是在伏尔加河以东较贫穷的农村地区，包括通过视频聊天安排医生预约，以及扩大财政援助项目以激励医生到像克拉斯诺亚尔斯克这样的偏远地区行医。
定位线索：题干“What can we infer from paragraph 3 about Krasnoyarsk”→答案句取自第3段“particularly in the poorer, rural areas east of the Volga River”“remote parts of the country like Krasnoyarsk”；文中“poorer, rural areas”“remote parts”对应选项D“It needs medical aid”。
解析：题干要求从第三段推断克拉斯诺亚尔斯克的情况，答案句提到它是伏尔加河以东较贫穷的农村地区，且是政府努力提供医疗援助的偏远地区，由此可合理推断它需要医疗援助，对应选项D。选项A“人口密集”、C“现代化城市”与原文“poorer, rural areas”矛盾；选项B“为医生提供培训”在原文中未提及，属于无中生有。
10. How long can the Saint Lukas work with one supply?
- A. About a year.
- B. About ten months.
- C. About two months.
- D. About two weeks.
答案：D
答案句：For 10 months every year, the train stops at about eight stations over two weeks, before returning to the regional capital to refuel and restock (补给). Then it starts all over again the next month.
参考译文：每年有10个月，列车在两周内停靠大约八个站点，然后返回地区首府加油和补给。然后下个月又重新开始。
定位线索：题干“How long can the Saint Lukas work with one supply”→答案句取自第4段“before returning to the regional capital to refuel and restock”；文中“over two weeks”对应选项D“About two weeks”。
解析：题干问圣卢卡斯号一次补给能工作多久，答案句明确说列车在两周内停靠约八个站点，然后返回首府补给，因此一次补给的工作时间约为两周，对应选项D。选项A“约一年”是两次访问之间的间隔，选项B“约十个月”是每年运行的总时长，选项C“约两个月”在文中无依据，均属偷换概念。
11. What is Ducke’s attitude toward the Saint Lukas’ services?
- A. Appreciative.
- B. Doubtful
- C. Ambiguous.
- D. Cautious.
答案：A
答案句：“I was very impressed by the doctors and their assistants working and living in such little space but still staying focused and very concerned,” says Ducke. “They were the best chance for many rural people to get the treatment they want. ”
参考译文：“医生和他们的助手在如此狭小的空间里工作和生活，却仍然保持专注和非常关心病人，这给我留下了深刻的印象，”杜克说。“他们是许多农村人获得所需治疗的最佳机会。”
定位线索：题干“What is Ducke’s attitude toward the Saint Lukas’ services”→答案句取自第5段“I was very impressed”“They were the best chance”；文中“impressed”“best chance”对应选项A“Appreciative”。
解析：题干问杜克对圣卢卡斯号服务的态度，答案句中杜克说“impressed”（印象深刻）并称“best chance”（最佳机会），这些积极评价表明他持欣赏态度，对应选项A“Appreciative”。选项B“怀疑”、C“模棱两可”、D“谨慎”均与原文中明确的正面评价不符，属于程度过重或态度相反。
