【1】B。考查固定搭配的用法。A. such 这样的；B. so 如此的；C. very 很，十分；D. much很多。这里so … that和such … that都是固定搭配，但是such用来修饰名词，而so用来修饰形容词和副词，这里后面是形容词bad，故答案选B。

【2】A。考查动词的用法。A. admit 承认，接纳；B. receive 收到；C. offer 提供；D. appreciate欣赏，理解。根据下文不管怎么样他是要死掉的，可知医院不愿意接收他，故选A。

【3】C。考查情态动词。A. should 应该；B. could 可能；C. would 将要；D. might可能。本空后面说到无论如何他都会死掉，所以选择C，表示过去将要，强调一种倾向。

【4】D。考查副词辨析。A. besides除此之外；B. therefore因此，所以；C. otherwise否则；D. however然而，可是。这里表示转折“然而他的生命被八个有勇气的人挽救了。”，故选D。

【5】A。考查名词词义辨析。A. nurses 护士B. sisters 姐妹；C. daughters 女儿；D. workers工人。根据下文中的提示After other nurses had quit, these women took eight-hour shifts with the boy. 说明其他的护士退出后，这些妇女进行八个小时轮换来照顾男孩，故此空选A。

【6】C。考查介词的用法。A. on 在……上；B. to 到；C. as作为；D. in在……里。这里说的是这些妇女表现得像这个真实生活故事中的女英雄，故选C。

【7】D。考查动词词义辨析。A. looking 看；B. seating 坐下；C. supporting 支撑；D. seeing看见，见证。护士们负责看护这个小男孩，所以是见证了这些过程，故选D。

【8】B。考查动词词义辨析。A. took拿；B. measured 度量为；C. weighed 称重；D. developed发展。此处是说小男孩的病房的尺寸大小，所以应该是“测量为”，故选B。

【9】A。考查动词辨析。A. dressed 给……穿衣；B. worn穿着；C. thrown 抛，扔；D. put放。这里指护士们照顾小男孩的时候要戴着帽子，面罩，手套。而dressed in是固定搭配，意为“穿着”，故选A。

【10】C。考查短语辨析。A. only if 只要；B. if only 要是……就好了；C. as if 似乎，好像；D. even if即使。护士们戴着帽子，面罩，手套好像要帮助做手术一样，故选C。

【11】C。考查形容词辨析。A. fatty多脂肪的；B. sunny阳光明媚的；C. sweaty 出汗的；D. rainy。穿戴着那些东西护士们一个小时就出汗了，故选C。

【14】D。考查动词辨析。A. holding握着；B. keeping保持；C. joining参加；D. quitting放弃。“在十四个月竭力摆脱掉放弃的想法之后她们的满足感是如此巨大”这里说的是“放弃”的想法，所以选D。

【15】A。考查动词词义辨析。A. caused造成；B. made使……；C. decided决定；D. let让。“是什么让他们如此满足呢？”是该句的句意，因为后面跟的是them to feel satisfied，只有cause一词可用此结构，故选A。

【16】D。考查形容词辨析。A. natural自然的；B. indifferent漠不关心的；C. neutral中立的；D. worthwhile值得的。此句的句意是：“她们一起尝试了几乎不可能的，但也是真正值得的事”，所以本空应填worthwhile，故选D。

【17】B。考查关系代词辨析。A. what 什么；B. who指代人作主语；C. which指代物，作主语或宾语；D. whose指代人或物，作定语。这里前面的those指代的是那些人，those在定语从句中作主语，应填who，故选B。

【18】C。考查名词性从句。A. How怎么样；B. Where在哪里；C. What什么；D. Why为什么。因为本句中名词性从句中缺宾语，What作did的宾语，同时What引导的从句又是主语从句，故选C。

【19】D。考查名词词义辨析。A. determination决心；B. frustration挫折；C. happiness快乐，幸福；D. satisfaction满足，满意。本句的句意是“在这样做的过程中她们找到了满足感”，和前面所说的内容相呼应，故选D。
