13.A Special Appointment
Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital's emergency department.No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve,so the shift (輪班) went to me.I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital.It was a thankless job.
At 9pm,the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack.His face was pale,and he was frightened.The whole night I did my best to save his life.Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family,I stopped by to see how he was doing.It was still tough,but he had survived the night and was sleeping.
The following year I got Christmas Eve duty again.At 9pm sharp,the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me.When I approached them,the man introduced himself as Mr.Lee and said,"You probably don't remember me,but last Christmas Eve you saved my life.Thank you for the year you gave me."He and his wife hugged me,handed me a small gift,and left.
The following year a new doctor had joined the group,but I wanted to see if Mr.a(chǎn)nd Mrs.Lee would return.This time,I volunteered for the shift.I kept an eye on the door.Once again,at exactly 9pm,the Lees appeared,carrying a warmly wrapped bundle.It was their new grandchild.Mr.Lee,his family and I spent 13Christmas Eves together.In the later years the staff all knew about the story and would work to give me time with him in the break room,where we spent a half-hour each Christmas Eve.
The last year I saw him,he brought me a gift.I carefully opened the package and found a crystal (水晶) bell inside.It was engraved (鐫刻) with a single word:Friendship.Now,my family,friends and I ring that bell every Christmas Eve at exactly 9pm and offer our best wishes to the man who we won't forget.

28.Working on Christmas Eve was considered"a thankless job"becauseD.
A.most patients were seriously ill
B.patients refused to express thanks
C.doctors had nothing to do on that day
D.doctors couldn't get praise for the hard job

A.was still in a state of danger
B.was really angry with her
C.got ready to leave the hospital

分析 文章大意:本文是一篇記敘文.幾年前作者剛搬到伍德蘭山在一家規(guī)模不大的急診室上班.那個(gè)圣誕夜的值班讓她終身難忘.本來(lái)圣誕夜值班是沒(méi)有人愿意去的,作者的經(jīng)歷讓作者養(yǎng)成了一個(gè)習(xí)慣:每年圣誕夜都到醫(yī)院去值班.

解答 28.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第一段中的"No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve"可知,沒(méi)有人想在圣誕夜工作,而作者作為新人只有勉強(qiáng)去值班,下文作者所遇到的經(jīng)歷正好跟人們通常想的不一樣,作者得到病人及家屬的贊揚(yáng),所以,人們認(rèn)為在圣誕夜值班被認(rèn)為是"得不到感謝的",是因?yàn)樾量嗟墓ぷ鞯貌坏絼e人的贊揚(yáng).所以本題選擇D.
29.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第二段Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family,I stopped by to see how he was doing.It was still tough,but he had survived the night and was sleeping.可知,作者第二天離開(kāi)醫(yī)院時(shí),Mr.Lee并不太好,仍然有危險(xiǎn).故選擇A項(xiàng).
30.C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章最后三段的開(kāi)頭可知,經(jīng)歷了那一次圣誕夜值班,在之后的三年的圣誕夜,作者都會(huì)到醫(yī)院值班,所以本題選擇C.
31.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章最后一段…Friendship及Now,my family,friends and I ring that bell every Christmas Eve at exactly 9 pm and offer our best wishes to the man who we won't forget.可知作者每個(gè)圣誕夜敲響鐘聲是為了紀(jì)念Mr.Lee,她的一位老朋友.故選擇C項(xiàng).

點(diǎn)評(píng) 這是一篇記敘文,考生要先通讀全文,了解大意,然后根據(jù)設(shè)問(wèn)思考細(xì)節(jié),即可選出正確選項(xiàng).
