Question

閱讀理解 　　It was the afternoon of December 24, the day before Christmas; and as the newest doctor in our office, I had to work．The only thing that brightened my day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our waiting room and a gift sent to me by a fellow I was dating－a dozen long-stemmed red roses． 　　As I was cleaning my office, our receptionist came and said there was a lady in the front office that urgently needed to speak with me．As I stepped out, I noticed a young, tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms．Nervously, she explained that her husband－a prisoner in a nearby prison－was my next patient．The guards were scheduled to bring him to the office that afternoon．She told me she wasn't allowed to visit her husband in prison and that he had never seen his son．Her request was for me to let the boy's father sit in the waiting room with her as long as possible before I called him for his appointment．Since my schedule wasn't full, I agreed．After all, it was Christmas Eve． 　　A short time later, her husband arrived－with chains on his feet and hands, and two armed guards as bodyguards．The woman's tired face lit up like our little Christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside her．I kept glancing out to watch them laugh, cry, and share their child．After almost an hour, I called the prisoner back to my office．While I worked, the guards stood just outside my door．The patient seemed like a gentle and modest man．I wondered what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions．I tried to make him as comfortable as possible． 　　At the end of the appointment, I wished him a Merry Christmas－a difficult thing to say to a man headed back to prison．He smiled and thanked me．He also said he felt saddened by the fact he hadn't been able to get his wife anything for Christmas．On hearing this, I was inspired with a wonderful idea． 　　I'll never forget the look on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful, long-stemmed roses．I'm not sure who experienced the most joy－the husband in giving, the wife in receiving, or myself in having the opportunity to share in this special moment． (1) What can be inferred from the first paragraph? [　　] A． The writer was a newcomer to her office． B． A fellow sent her a dozen red roses as Christmas present． C． She was in low spirits because she had to work before Christmas． D． She was at work with a light heart． (2) The young woman came to the writer's office for the purpose of ________． [　　] A． having her baby examined B． giving her husband a chance to make his escape C． having her husband examined D． getting a chance for her family to get together (3) The underlined part in paragraph 3 most probably means “________”． [　　] A． to be sent to hospital B． to be separated from his family C． to be comfortable D． to become a prisoner (4) What does the writer learn from the story? [　　] A． The wife experienced the most joy in receiving． B． An act of kindness can mean a lot． C． The prisoner was treated with mercy． D． Whoever breaks the law should be punished．

Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．D;3．D;4．B;
解析：

(1)	推理判斷題。根據文章第一段“I had to work．The only thing that brightened my day”說明作者認為她的一天都是黑暗的，唯一讓她感到高興的只是那束玫瑰花。故答案選擇C項“因為要在圣誕節前工作心情很不高興”。A項“是辦公室的新來者”，B項“一個人送給她一束玫瑰花作為禮物”(判斷不出，因為這花也許是單位送的)，D項“她以輕松的心態工作”不合實情。
(2)	細節歸納題。根據第二段的描述可知那位婦女是為了請求作者給她一個機會讓她跟自己丈夫團聚并讓他看看他自己還沒見過面的孩子，應選擇D項。A項“讓孩子體檢”，“給她丈夫一個機會逃跑”，C項“讓他的丈夫體檢”都不符合實情。
(3)	句意理解題。從第二段文章就已經介紹了那個女人丈夫的身份，再根據第二段她丈夫帶著腳鏈手銬，但那人跟自己妻子和孩子一起時又顯得特別溫柔謙虛，因此作者不知道他是怎么會成為囚徒的。故答案為D項。A項“被送往醫院”，B項“與家庭分離”，C項“舒服”都與上下文不符。
(4)	[解析]推理判斷題。根據最后一段因為作者讓囚徒把那束玫瑰花送給妻子時他們兩人激動的心情可知一個小小的善良之舉有時卻意義重大，答案選B項。A項“妻子在收到禮物時體驗到最大的快樂”較為片面，C項“囚犯被寬恕”，D項“誰犯法都得懲罰”偏題了。 　　[文章大意]在圣誕節的前夜，作者作為一個新醫生遇到一個特殊病人——一個需要醫護的囚犯，她幫助病人與他的妻子及還未見面的孩子團聚。
