2
In 1977, a dead author of detective stories saved the life of a 19-month-old baby in a most unusual way. The author was Agatha Christie, a gentle married lady and one of the most successful writers of detective stories in the world．
In June 1977, a baby girl became seriously ill in Qatar, near Saudi Arabia. Doctors were unable to decide the cause of her illness with confidence, so she was flown to London and admitted to Hammer smith Hospital, where specialist help was available (可得到的). She was then only semiconscious (半清醒状态) and on the “Dangerously ill” list. A team of doctors hurried to examine the baby only to discover that they, too, were puzzled by the very unusual symptoms. While they were discussing the baby?s case, a nurse asked to speak to them．
“Excuse me.” said Nurse Marsha Maitland, “but I think the baby is suffering from thallium poisoning.”
“What makes you think that?” Dr Brown asked. “Thallium poisoning is extremely rare.”
“A few days ago, 1 was reading a novel called A Pale Horse by Agatha Christie,” Nurse Maitland explained. “In the book, somebody uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms are described. They?re exactly the same as the baby?s.”
“You?re very observant and you may be right,” another doctor said. “We?11 carry out some tests and find out whether it?s thallium or not.”
The tests showed that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium, a rare metallic substance used in making optical glass. Once they knew the cause of illness, the doctors were able to give the baby the correct treatment. She soon recovered and was sent back to Qatar. Enquiries made people know that the poison might have come from an insecticide used in Qatar.
16. Who first suggested the correct cause of the baby?s illness? A. A doctor in Qatar. C. Nurse Maitland
B . Dr Brown．
D. Agatha Christie
17. Why was the baby sent to London?
A . Because she was a British girl whose parents were working in Qatar.
3
B . Because the hospitals in Qatar were full at that time.
C. Because she was the daughter of a doctor in one of the hospitals in London．
D. Because the Qatar doctors were not sure they could cure her. 18. According to the passage, what caused the baby?s illness? A .Contact with a pair of infected spectacles． B. Contact with a harmful substance used to kill insects. C. Contact with machinery used in manufacturing optical glasses. D. Contact with her mother who carried thallium germs in her body. 19. When the baby was first admitted to hospital in the U. K. what did the doctors think of her case?
A. They thought it was a case needing immediate treatment. B. They thought it was a usual one． C. They thought it was quite a simple one．
D. They thought it was the result of thallium poisoning. 20. Nurse Maitland spoke to the doctors ___________.
A . when she heard them discussing the possibility of thallium poisoning． B. because she could see that the doctors had made a mistake. C. to suggest a possible cause of the patient?s illness. D. after she had read about a horse which had been poisoned.
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
E-mail systems at thousands of companies and government offices around the worl
d were attacked by a virus (病毒) called “Melissa” that disguises itself as all “important message” from a friend.
Even though there was a weekend warning, more than 50,000 companies at about 100 places around the world have been attacked by the virus, computer experts said on Monday.
