(单选题)
In this passage the word “incurable” means “______.”
A.无法治愈的
B.难以确诊的
C.常见的
D.可以治愈的
参考答案:A
参考解析:
细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“Hawking had motor neuron disease, an incurable illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before he was 23.”可知,霍金患有运动神经元病,这是一种无法治愈的疾病,如果没有机器的帮助,他将无法说话、呼吸或移动。医生说他们没有办法帮助他。他会在23岁之前死去。可知“incurable”是不可治愈的意思。故选A。
