Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．A;3．D;4．D;5．B;
解析：

(1)	根據(jù)短文的第一、二段，A、B和D三種癥狀都提到了，但沒有提到C項“他感到發(fā)冷”。
(2)	因為兩位醫(yī)生雖然對患者進(jìn)行了仔細(xì)的檢查，但沒有注意患者所穿襯衣的領(lǐng)口非常緊，而這正是患者癥狀的原因。所以兩個人都是“觀察力不敏銳”。
(3)	根據(jù)短文后部分，在患者住院更換病號服的時候，護(hù)士發(fā)現(xiàn)他的襯衣領(lǐng)口太緊，發(fā)現(xiàn)了他諸多癥狀的原因，解決了這一難題。
(4)	根據(jù)最后一段護(hù)士所說的話，可知Ｄ項是答案。
(5)	通讀全文可知有兩位醫(yī)生在其入院前為其檢查，即Dr．Klein and Dr．Brown。
