It was near New Year 2014, and David Fajgenbaum, who was battling Castleman disease, was rushed to a CT
scan in an Arkansas hospital. Tears streamed down his face. He thought about the first patient who’d died under his
care and how her brain had bled in a similar way from a stroke(中风).
But he survived. Also, this experience led David to complete “the undertaking” surprising his doctors. “You
learn a lot by almost dying,” they said.
It was in 2010 that David got very sick and was hospitalized for five months. He was learning to become a
doctor at the University of Pennsylvania in memory of his mother who died of cancer. The examination showed it
was idiopathic multi-centric Castleman disease (MCD). First described in 1954, Castleman presents partly like an
autoimmune(自身免疫的) condition and partly like cancer. It doesn’t happen very often — there’re only around
7,000 new cases each year in the United States, so a very limited number of experts are on it.
In his hospital bed, David felt weak. His organs were failing, and he noticed curious red spots on his skin. He
asked doctors what the “blood moles” meant. But they, focused on saving his life, weren’t interested in them.
Castleman disease struck David four more times over the next three years. Despite it all, he managed to graduate
and later founded the Castleman Disease Collaborative Network (CDCN) devoted to fighting Castleman disease.
In late 2013, Castleman struck again, landing David in that Arkansas hospital. It marked his closest brush with
death yet. After this time, David set out to try to save his own life. Examining his medical charts, he zeroed in on an
idea that researchers hadn’t explored. With considerable effort, he found a drug called Sirolimus might be
beneficial to his discase. After consulting with his doctors, he picked up the drug. So far, it’s working. David is in
recovery and devoting his medical career to saving other patients like him. “I hope my story offers lessons far
beyond medicine about what people can do when they’re up against a brick wall,” says David.
4. How did David feel when having the CT scan?
A
.
Grateful. B. Awkward. C. Hopeless. D. Unsure.
5. What does “the undertaking” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. David founded the CDCN. B. David recovered from Castleman.
C. David survived the CT scan. D. David found a way to treat his disease.
6. What do we know about Castleman disease?
A. It is a rare disease. B. It killed David’s mother.
C. It is a kind of cancer. D. It interested many experts.
7. Which of the following can best describe David?
A. Selfless and optimistic. B. Determined and observant.
C. Ambitious and confident. D. Warm-hearted and hardworking.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章描述 David Fajgenbaum 在濒临死亡的时候通过敏锐的洞察力和坚定的意
志发现了救治自己和他人的方法，最终战胜 Castleman 病的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“It was near New Year 2014, and David Fajgenbaum, who was battling Castleman
disease, was rushed to a CT scan in an Arkansas hospital. Tears streamed down his face. He thought about the first
patient who’d died under his care and how her brain had bled in a similar way from a stroke(中风). ( 2014 年新年
临近，正在与 Castleman 病作斗争的大卫·法根鲍姆(David Fajgenbaum)被紧急送往阿肯色州一家医院做 CT
扫描。眼泪顺着他的脸流下来。他想起了在他的治疗下死去的第一个病人，以及她的大脑是如何因中风而
以类似的方式流血的。)”因为想到他的治疗下死去的第一个病人，由此可推断，他当时是非常绝望的，
故选 C。
