Questions 26 to 28 arebasedonthepassageyouhavejustheard.
26. WhatmadeElizabethBlackwelldistinguishedfromphysiciansofhertime?
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ElizabethBlackwel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. WhywereElizabeth'sprofessorsandfellowstudentshostiletoher?
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（thestudentsandprofessorswerecrueltoher）时要注意听原因。此句前后重复说明是性别问题（because... onlymenweredoctors... becauseshewastheonlywoman），故选C“性别歧视”。语义突出之处（如此处的because）常出题。
28. WhatdidElizabethcontributetothecauseofmedicine?
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'sMedicalCollege时提到的。Itwasthefirsttime这种字眼后面的信息是出题的热点。B中的firstprivate在文中找不到依据。
