Question

(2013·高考廣東卷，C)One day，when I was working as a psychologist in England，an adolescent boy showed up in my office.It was David.He kept walking up and down restlessly，his face pale，and his hands shaking slightly.His head teacher had referred him to me.“This boy has lost his family，”he wrote.“He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others，and I’m very worried about him.Can you help？”

I looked at David and showed him to a chair.How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to，and which no words can describe.Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.

The first two times we met，David didn’t say a word.He sat there，only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me.I suggested we play a game of chess.He nodded.After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon—in complete silence and without looking at me.It’s not easy to cheat in chess，but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.

Usually，he arrived earlier than agreed，took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down.It seemed as if he enjoyed my company.But why did he never look at me?

“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with，”I thought.“Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.”Some months later，when we were playing chess，he looked up at me suddenly.

“It’s your turn，”he said.

After that day，David started talking.He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club.He wrote to me a few times，about his biking with some friends，and about his plan to get into university.Now he had really started to live his own life.

Maybe I gave David something.But I also learned that one—without any words—can reach out to another person.All it takes is a hug，a shoulder to cry on，a friendly touch，and an ear that listens.

【解析】本文為記敘文。戴維因?yàn)槭�去了家人而非常傷心，拒絕與別人交流，“我”作為一名心理醫(yī)生成功地使他恢復(fù)了正常。“我”采取的方法就是跟他下棋，讓他感受到“我”理解他的痛苦。人與人的交流不只是通過語(yǔ)言，也可能是一個(gè)擁抱、一個(gè)哭泣時(shí)可以依靠的肩膀、一次友好的接觸或者一只耐心傾聽的耳朵。

2.2】解析：選A。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.可知，作者準(zhǔn)備去做一名傾聽者。文章雖提到有些問題心理學(xué)也無(wú)法給出答案，但這并不能說明作者對(duì)心理學(xué)持懷疑的態(tài)度，故B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第二段中的and which no words can describe可排除C項(xiàng)；通過第二段中的How could I help him？以及“有些問題心理學(xué)也無(wú)法給出答案”可知，作者并不確信自己能解決戴維的問題，故排除D項(xiàng)。

3.3】解析：選B。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段中的Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with...可知，他喜歡和作者下棋，或許是因?yàn)樗�需要一個(gè)人來分擔(dān)他的痛苦，故B項(xiàng)正確。文章并未提到戴維想向作者征求建議，相反，他開始時(shí)拒絕跟作者交流，故排除A項(xiàng)；文中并未提及他喜歡這些畫，只說他在看這些畫，排除C項(xiàng)；由第三段中．..I made sure David won once or twice.可知D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。

4.4】解析：選A。推理判斷題。由第五、六、七段可知，與作者沉默地待了幾個(gè)月之后，戴維開口跟作者說話了，之后，他的生活逐漸恢復(fù)了正常，故A項(xiàng)正確。他現(xiàn)在經(jīng)常和朋友們騎車，但無(wú)法得知失去家人前就喜歡，故排除B項(xiàng)；上大學(xué)還只是他的一個(gè)計(jì)劃，故排除C項(xiàng)；他是在認(rèn)識(shí)作者之后交到了學(xué)校的朋友，故D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。

5.5】解析：選D。推理判斷題。結(jié)合故事內(nèi)容以及最后一段可知，是作者和他無(wú)聲的交流幫助戴維恢復(fù)了正常。他的老師只起到了介紹的作用，故排除A項(xiàng)；作者之前和戴維并不存在友誼，故排除B項(xiàng)；在戴維恢復(fù)正常之后，雙方才開始通信，故排除C項(xiàng)。
