A
A young American doctor was sleeping when suddenly his doorbell began to ring. It was already midnight, but what could the doctor do? He had to get up, put on his coat and go downstairs. When he opened the door, he saw a man standing with a hat in his hand. “How do you do?” said the man. “Can you come at once to a place out of town? It's quite far but you have a car and I can show you the way.”
“Certainly,” said the doctor. “I'm quite ready. I can come at once.” After a few minutes the car was standing at the front door, the man got into the doctor's car, and they drove off. They drove on for a long time. Then the man said, “Here we are. This is my home. Now I can pay you and you can go back to the town.”
“I must see the patient. How can I go back without seeing the patient?”
“There is no patient,” explained the man. “Nobody is ill. I live here, you see, and one must get home from a town, mustn't he? There are no taxis this time of the night, but a doctor often makes night calls, so excuse me. Here is money. Thank you, doctor. Good night.”

解析
【分析】
这是一篇趣味叙事类英语阅读理解，解题时可以先快速浏览所有题干标记关键词，再带着问题回原文逐一定位对应内容：细节类题目直接找到原文原句比对选项即可选出答案，词义猜测题要结合上下文语境推导含义，正误判断题要把每个选项都和原文内容逐一核对排除，就能快速得到正确结果。
【解析】
11. 定位原文第一段内容：门铃响起时医生正在睡觉，之后他起身穿外套下楼，说明他原本是在楼上睡觉，对应A选项。B选项说在楼下睡觉、C和D选项说正在工作，均和原文内容不符，排除。
12. 定位第一段男子的原话"Can you come at once to a place out of town?"，可知男子请求医生立刻去城外的一个地方，对应D选项。A选项去散步原文未提及，B选项说去城里和原文相悖，C选项去看病人是男子编造的借口，并不是男子最初提出的请求，排除。
13. 定位第二段内容"the man got into the doctor's car, and they drove off."，可知两人是乘坐汽车出发的，对应B选项，其余交通方式原文均未提到，排除。
14. 划线短语所在句的语境是深夜没有出租车，男子知道医生经常半夜被喊出门接诊，所以才想到骗医生送自己回家，因此"make night calls"的中文含义是夜间出诊，对应D选项。
15. 逐一核对选项：A选项原文明确提到故事发生在午夜，表述正确；B选项原文提到深夜这个时间点没有出租车，表述正确；C选项医生原本以为要上门接诊病人，结果发现自己被骗白跑一趟，不可能对拿到钱十分感激，表述错误；D选项男子用巧妙的方法免费让医生送自己回家，确实比一开始没反应过来的医生聪明，表述正确。本题要求选不正确的选项，因此选C。
