Why is the Dean absent?
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to Royal Hospital College. What a beautiful September you’ve brought with you. My name is Richard Thomas. I am the head of the chemistry department and today it’s my pleasure to introduce our wonderful college to you. Regrettably, the Dean, Professor John Thomas has a bad case of flu, so he’s staying in bed. He sends his apologies, but you’ll be meeting him soon.
Actually, the Royal Hospital College was not a college in the beginning. It was a hospital for retired sailors of the Royal Navy. And it wasn’t here, in the beautiful countryside of east England. It was located in what it is now east London, on the banks of river Thames. Back in those days, it was also in the countryside, but London grew and grew, and by the end of the 19th century it was surrounded by houses and smoky factories. After the Second World War, a New Zealand millionaire named Sir Gifford Reade kindly gave our college 65 million pounds to move here. He was an architect, and he designed much of the beautiful school you see today. It opened in 1933. And if you look to your right, there is a statue of Sir Gifford Reade, facing that large statue of Queen Victoria.
选项
A、He’s staying in bed.
B、He’s busy with his research.
C、He’s severely ill.
D、He’s gone to the Royal Navy.
答案
C
解析
短文中提到,系主任John Thomas教授因为感染严重流感,现正卧床不起。故他缺席是因为患重感冒,C与之相符。本题干扰性较大的是A,原文有提到John Thomas教授正卧床不起,但这不是他缺席的原因,而是生病的结果,故排除;B属于无中生有;D利用原词Royal Navy进行语音干扰。
