Question

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
Just 10 years ago, I sat across the desk from a doctor. “Yes,” he said, “there is something wrong with the left, upper lung. You are suffering a severe cancer. You'll have to give up work at once. Later on, we'll see.”
Feeling like a man who is in midcareer has suddenly been placed under sentence of death, I left the doctor's office, walked over to the park, and sat down on a chair. I needed to think. In the next 3 days, I cleared up my affairs, then I went home, got into bed, and set my watch to tick off not the minutes, but the months. Two years later, I left my bed and began the long climb back. It was another year before I made it.
I speak of this experience because these years that passed so slowly taught me what to value and what to believe. I realize now that each day, to me, is a precious thing. I've learned to appreciate those little things I never thought I had the time to notice before: the play of light on running water, the music of the wind.
Frequently, I sit back and say to myself, “Let me make note of this moment I'm living right now, because in it I'm well, happy and hard at work doing what I like best to do. It won't always be like this, so while it is, I'll make the most of it—and afterwards, I remember—and be grateful. I contribute all these to that long time spent on the fight with cancer.”

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）A
（2）B
（3）A
（4）D
【解析】本文是一篇記敘文，講述作者與癌癥頑強(qiáng)抗?fàn)幍墓适隆Ｗ髡唠m然被診斷出肺癌，但是作者沒(méi)有被動(dòng)地等死，而是積極樂(lè)觀(guān)地生活，與病魔作斗爭(zhēng)，最終戰(zhàn)勝了病魔。
（1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“ Feeling like a man who is in midcareer has suddenly been placed under sentence of death, I left the doctor's office, walked over to the park, and sat down on a chair.”可知，當(dāng)作者被診斷為肺癌后感到像是被判了死刑，很絕望，感到無(wú)助。hopeless表示“絕望的，沒(méi)有希望的”。故選A。
（2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Two years later, I left my bed and began the long climb back. It was another year before I made it.”可知，作者經(jīng)過(guò)三年，最后終于戰(zhàn)勝了病魔，故B正確。
（3）考查詞義猜測(cè)。作者在第二段末尾說(shuō)經(jīng)過(guò)三年終于戰(zhàn)勝了病魔，第三段一開(kāi)頭又說(shuō)這幾年過(guò)得很緩慢。顯然these years指的是與肺癌斗爭(zhēng)到痊愈的這幾年，即生病的這幾年，故A正確。
（4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)文章第三、四兩段可知，作者通過(guò)與病魔作斗爭(zhēng)，意識(shí)到必須珍視和過(guò)好每一天，因?yàn)樯�命是美好的，故D正確。
