　　Section B

　　Passage One

　　Elizabeth Blackwell, born in 1821 in Bristol, England, [26]was the first woman awarded the M.D. degree. Many nineteenth-century physicians, including a few women, practiced without a degree, but Elizabeth Blackwell wished to attain fullprofessional status. She applied to many medicalschools. Sadly, all her applications were turned down, [27]because at that time, only menwere doctors. When she was finally accepted, the students and professors were cruel to her[27]because she was the only woman at the school. Working with quiet determination, she turned aside the hostility of the professors, students, and townspeople. She earned hermedical degree in 1849, but faced additional difficulties in setting up her practice. Barredfrom city hospitals, she founded her own infirmary. Eventually she founded a Women's MedicalCollege to train other women physicians. Blackwell's educational standards were higher thanthe all-male medical schools. [28]And she started the program of disease prevention inher schools. It was the first time the idea of preventing disease was taught at amedical college. Elizabeth helped do many things, such as establishing British National HealthSociety in 1871. Dr. Elizabeth died at her home in Hastings, England, in 1910, at the age of 89. She is remembered for her contributions to the cause of medicine and for showing the way forwomen to move on.

　　答案解析

　　Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　26. What made Elizabeth Blackwell distinguished from physicians of her time?

　　正确答案：A

　　解析：根据选项可预测问题是问某位女性的特别之处。文章首句就介绍了Elizabeth Blackwel是被授予医学博士学位的首位女性，选项A是原文的同义表达。

　　27. Why were Elizabeth's professors and fellow students hostile to her?

　　正确答案：C

　　解析：根据选项可预测问题是“他们”为什么不喜欢她，文中听到复数人群对她的态度（the students andprofessors were cruel to her）时要注意听原因。此句前后重复说明是性别问题（because... only menwere doctors... because she was the only woman），故选C“性别歧视”。语义突出之处（如此处的because）常出题。

　　28. What did Elizabeth contribute to the cause of medicine?

　　正确答案：D

　　解析：文中提到了她的很多贡献，但是选项中信息完全正确的只有D，是在介绍她所创办的Women's MedicalCollege时提到的。It was the first time这种字眼后面的信息是出题的热点。B中的first private在文中找不到依据。
