【要点综述】 本文是一篇记叙文，通过叙述同一病室的两个病人由于人生观的不同，眼中的世界也不一样的故事，向人们提出问题：如何看待痛苦？怎样才能让自己幸福？文章最后一段展开议论，向人们表述了一个道理：每个人都应把握现在，用积极的心态去赢得幸福的生活。
36．D sit up意为“坐起来”。sit up in his bed 意为“坐在床上”
37．B next to意为“靠近”。next to…意思是“靠着……”，其他语意不符。
38． B kill the time干扰性最强，这里表达的不是“消磨时间”，而是“一直都躺在病床上”。
39．A 从下文看，这里表示的是“向他的室友描述他所看到的”而非“跟某人交谈”。
40．C 上文说过：他的床是靠窗摆放的，所以他能看见窗外的一切，而不是“屋子外的一切”。
41．A overlook意为“俯视，俯瞰”，其主语为建筑物；view作动词，主语是“人”。
42．A arm in arm 是固定搭配，意思是“臂挽着臂”。
43．C 此处view作名词，a fine view of the city 表示“城市美丽的风景”；scenery 只表示“自然的风景”；sight意为“视力”；state意为“状态”，与上下文不符。
44．D 情态动词would 表示“出于自己的意愿，愿意做某事”，其他与语境不符。
45．B 动词imagine意思是“想象”，close one's eyes and imagine sth. 表示“闭上眼睛想象某事发生”。
46．A 考查动词词组的辨析。go by 意为“过去”； go on 意为“继续”；go up意为“上升”；go away意为“离开”。这里是“一天天、一周周过去了”，故选A。
47．C 从in his sleep可知，这里应该是“他在睡梦中平静地去世了”。
48．A 这里要表达的意思是“是否能搬到窗户边”，其他三项语意不符。
49．D hold oneself up意思是“自己支撑着起来”；raise 是及物动词，其后不能接up，故A选项不能选。
50．B to one's surprise意思是“让人吃惊的是”，符合语境。
51．A 由下文“…could not even see the wall”可知死去的病人是个盲人。
52．D 下文有but happiness，故此处在讨论“幸福”。
53．D doubled与上文half相对应，与but的转折意思相符。
54．B value all of the things you have意思是“重视你所拥有的一切”。
55．A 此处是一个why引导的表语从句。句意：那就是为什么它被叫做present(礼物)的原因。
