Question

It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s came to the hospital. I heard him saying to the nurse that he was in a hurry for an appointment(约会) at 9:30.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

The nurse had him take a          in the waiting area, __   _him it would be at least 40 minutes        someone would be able to see him. I saw him        his watch and decided, because I was         busy—my patient didn’t appear at the appointed hour, I would examine his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him       he had another doctor’s appointment

The gentleman said no and told me that he         to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his        . He told me that she had been         for a while and that she had a special disease. I asked if she would be          if he was a bit late. He replied that she         knew who he was, and that she had not been able to          him for five years now. I was          , and asked him, “And you         go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?”  

He smiled and said. “She doesn’t know me, but I know who she is.” I had to hold back           as he left.

Now I       that in marriages(婚姻), true love is      of all that is. The happiest people don’t      have the best of everything; they just       everything that they have.       Isn’t about how to live through the storm(暴风雨), but how to dance in the rain.

【解析】

试题分析：这是一个感人的故事，一位老人五年坚持去医院陪伴他生病的妻子，尽管她已经认不得他，但他说：他知道她是谁。生活就是不离不弃，婚姻就是白头到老、共度一生。

1.考查名词辨析。A.呼吸；B.测试; C座位；D.洗澡。后面有waiting area，所以这里应该是护士让老人在休息区坐下。故选C。

2.考查动词辨析。 A.说服；B.承诺；C.理解；D.告诉。护士请老人坐下，并告诉他至少要等四十分钟。动词-ing形式表伴随的动作。故选D。

3.考查连词辨析。A.如果；B.在……之前C.自从；D.在……之后。句意应该是：在医生给他看病之前要等待。故选B。

4.考查动词辨析。A.起飞；B.固定；C.看；D.绕。一个焦急的老汉会做的动作，从后面可知 老人要去看望妻子，肯定是一直在看手表。故选C。

5.考查副词辨析。A.非常；B.也；C. 很少；D.不。----后面的意思是：我的病人没有按约定的时间到，可知这里是：我当时不忙。故选D。

6.考查宾语从句的连接词辨析。A.是否；B.哪一个；C.什么时候；D.那。这里是ask的宾语从句，，应该是问是否约了其他的大夫。故选A。

7.考查名词辨析。用排除法。B是“忘记”，他忘记了回去吃饭这样的事情，不算一个appointment；C agree to do是“同意做某件事情”，在文中没人提要求，所以不存在同意不同意。D. happen to do“碰巧做某事”。所以句意应该是：老人需要去护理之家和妻子一起吃饭。故选A（需要）。

8.考查名词辨析。A.女儿；B.妻子；C.母亲；D.妹妹。第五段的第一句出现了marriage ，可知是和妻子一起吃饭。故选B。

9.考查名词辨析。A.晚；B.好；C.大约；D. 那里。结合前文应该是：她得了一种特殊的病，在护理之家（那里）已经呆了一段时间了。故选D。

10.考查形容词辨析。A.孤独的；B.担心的；C.怀疑的；D.饥饿的。根据常理推测，应该是：我问如果老人晚一些，她是否会担心他，故选B。

11.考查词在语境中的应用辨析。A.到目前为止； B. 也不；C. 不再 ；D.已经。结合后文可知，这里应该是：她（妻子）已经不知道他（丈夫）是谁了。故选C。

12.考查名词辨析。A.辨认出；B.回答； C.相信；D.期待。根据前一句可知，她认不出他（这种情况）已经有五年了。故选A。

13.考查动词辨析。A.移动；B.消失；C.吃惊；D.满意。选项moved干扰度比较大，需要对全文的态度进行把握，文中进行到这里并没有很明显的作者的正面态度出现，证据就在于他的那个问句：你知道她不认识你，还是每天早上要去陪她？这句话显然不是一个正面态度的体现，而真正的态度转正的地方在倒数第二段，他忍住泪水，所以这里不能选moved这个表示正面态度的词语。故选C。

14.考查副词辨析。A.只有；B.然后，表示时间先后；C因此，表示因果；D.仍然，表示状态的持续。故选D。

15.考查名词辨析。A.好奇；B.眼泪；C.话；D.判断。理解的关键在前面的动词hold back忍住。忍回去的只有泪水。老人的话使医生感动的都要流泪了，故选B。

16.考查动词辨析。A.主观意识到；B.建议；C.希望；D.证明。这里应该是这件事给我的感悟婚，故选A。

17.考查名词辨析。真爱就是对于接受对方的一切。本题点明了文章的主旨，老人不管妻子患病与否都始终不离不弃，所以是接受了一切，无论好坏。 A.协议；B.表达；C.接受；D.教育。故选C。

18.考查副词辨析。A. 必要地；B.完全；C.自然；D.经常。这句话的意思应该是：最幸福的人并不一定是一个拥有所有最好东西的人。故选A。

19.考查动词辨析。A.学习；B看重；C.恨；D.尝试。结合前后的意思可知：他们很看重他们所拥有的一切。故选B。
