试题分析：本文讲的是主人公伊丽莎白是如何当上医生和开立医院的及她在成为女医生的路上所遭受的困难，可以说她的医生之路是一部励志史，鼓励人们不畏艰难努力实现自己的梦想。
【小题1】细节题。在第二段中“She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.”可看出她不能当外科医生是因为她眼睛出现了很严重的问题，故选C。
【小题2】细节题。在第一段中“That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century.”和最后一段中“Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman.”可以知道在她那个时代女性要成为一名医生是很难的，因为有性别歧视，故选A。
【小题3】细节推断题。从第二段和第三段可看出，她从医学院毕业是在1849年，而开办医院是在1857年，中间相隔8年，故选A。
【小题4】推断题。在最后一段中“By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children Besides being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital , she also set up the first medical school for women.”直到1857年，伊莎贝拉、她妹妹（也是一个医生）和另外一位女医生成功开办一所医院，这是第一家为女性和孩子设立的医院，另外，她成为第一个女性内科医师并创立自己的医院，并且为女性开办了第一所医学院。因而可以排除A、C、D项，至于她是第一个女医生，文章并未道明，并且这里说她的姐姐或妹妹也是一个医生，因而不能判断她是不是第一个女医生，故选B。
【小题5】推断题。从文章可知主人公虽出身英国，但10岁移居美国，然后在28岁时毕业于费城的一个医学院，然后在巴黎呆了几年就回美国国开了自己的医院。总的来说，她一生大部分时间是在美国度过的，故选C。
