Once the king of India fell ill and sent for his doctor. The doctor came, examined him and said, "You will be well again in a few days if you take bull’s (公牛的) milk." The king was very surprised, for he had never heard of a bull that gave milk. "How is it possible" he asked. "Order Gulbo, the scholar, to get it for you. He can do anything." The doctor was an enemy to Gulbo, and thought this would be a way of making him suffer. When the king told Gulbo what the doctor had said and ordered him to get bull’s milk, Gulbo immediately understood what the doctor was trying to do. When he got home he sat thinking how to get out of the difficulties. His daughter, seeing him worried, asked what was the matter. On hearing what the king had asked for, she said, "Don’t worry, father. I’ll help you." The next day she took some old clothes, went to the bank of the river near the palace, and chose a place below the king’s bedroom window. In the middle of the night, when everyone was in bed, she started to do her washing. She made so much noise that the king could not sleep. The king got very angry and sent a guard to find out what was the matter. The soldier found the girl, and led her to the king. "Why do you wash your clothes here at night" asked the king. The girl pretended to be afraid and said, "I had to wash clothes at night. This afternoon my father had a baby. I was busy all day because of that. Then I found there were no clean clothes for the baby, so I had to come and wash them now." "What!" cried the king, "Are you trying to make a fool of me Who ever heard of a man having a baby" "Well, if the king himself orders someone to get bull’s milk for him, why can’t a man have a baby" The king smiled and said, "You must be Gulbo’s daughter. Go and tell your father that he may keep the bull’s milk for his baby.The doctor told the king to ask Gulbo to find bull’s milk because he ______. A. admired Gulbo greatlyB. hated Gulbo very muchC. thought Gulbo was a scholarD. tried to make Gulbo another doctor

题目解答
答案
B
解析
考查要点:本题主要考查学生对文章中人物关系和动机的理解能力,需要结合上下文推断医生行为背后的真正原因。
解题核心思路:关键在于抓住医生与Gulbo之间的矛盾关系,以及医生主动提出让Gulbo完成看似不可能的任务这一行为背后的意图。
破题关键点:
- 明确医生与Gulbo是敌对关系(文中明确提到“the doctor was an enemy to Gulbo”)。
- 医生认为“找公牛奶”是不可能完成的任务,目的是让Gulbo陷入困境。
- 排除干扰选项时需注意:选项需与医生的负面情绪(如恨)相关,而非中性或正面情绪。
关键信息梳理:
- 医生与Gulbo的关系:医生是Gulbo的敌人,因此他的行为带有报复性质。
- 任务的不合理性:公牛奶本身不存在,医生明知如此却故意提出,意在为难Gulbo。
- 选项分析:
- A选项(钦佩Gulbo)与敌对关系矛盾。
- B选项(恨Gulbo)直接对应医生的敌意和报复动机。
- C选项(认为Gulbo是学者)虽符合Gulbo身份,但未解释医生的负面行为。
- D选项(让Gulbo成为医生)在文中无依据。
结论:医生因恨Gulbo而故意设置难题,故选B。
