题目内容

I am a team leader in an insurance company. We are going through a lot of changes right now, which is   36  much stress for all of us.
A few weeks ago I was having a day so   37  that I even doubted if I had the ability to do this challenging work, and was about ready to change to a less stressful job   38  . Something happened that day to change my way of   39  and I am so appreciative of this young lady. I want to let her know that the small act   40  .
On the top of my cubicle (工作隔间) I have a small collection of lighthouses (灯塔) to let people know where I am sitting   41  my team members have to find me for emergencies.
That day I came into the office and was about to get the day   42  when Crystal came over. I asked if she needed anything. And she said, “I   43  you something.” I looked at her with a   44  look and said, “Well, thank you, but why   45  you buy me anything?” I had never spoke to this young lady   46 . She said, “Every day I stand up and look across the     47  and see your lighthouses. Then I feel I am not alone and I encourage myself that there are always   48  things in life. I saw this on the way to work and thought   49  would like it. I wish it would have the same   50  as your lighthouses do.” In her hand she had a small globe with a lighthouse and a ship on it. I gave her a hug and   51  her. I don’t think she knows how much that small act of   52  changed my day: I remained   53  the rest of the day.
For anyone that reads this, I hope you remember, no matter what the   54  is, you could change someone’s day,   55  even his views on life.

解析【小题1】C。根据文章第二段第一句可推知,应是给公司里的人造成很多压力。
【小题1】C。根据“I even doubted if I had the ability to take this challenging work”,可知作者觉得这项工作压力太大,因此这里应选“糟糕的”。

【小题1】B。根据上文“I am so appreciative of this young lady”可知,应选B。
【小题1】A。第一段提到作者是team leader,因此他在工作隔间顶上放上灯塔,以防队员有急事找他。

【小题1】C。根据后文“with a lighthouse and a ship on it”可知为ship。
【小题1】D。stressful有压力的。在生活中总是有有压力的事情。
【小题1】B。我在去工作的路上,想领导会喜欢它的。
【小题1】C。这位女士送给作者礼物以鼓励作者,是一种善意的举动。
【小题1】B。第二段提到作者感到沮丧,再根据上文的“changed my day”,可知选B。
【小题1】C。该文的主旨是:善良的举动,无论多么微小,都可以对其他人产生影响。这种举动不一定就是送礼物,因此排除A;gesture与上文的act对应。
【小题1】C。根据句意“……你可以改变他人的一天,或者甚至是他对生活的看法”可知,应选C。

Forever Young

  It’s Girls Night Out:Mom Edition and I am a player in a whole new game.It occurs to me that I really don’t know these   1   women.We’ve been circling   2   for about three years, ever since our kids started   3  .We’d bump into each other in the parking   4  , at Valentine’s Day parties, and later as one or the other shyly   5   we all sign our kids up for softball, gymnastics or dance.Who knows   6   the five of us clumped together more than   7   of us clumped with other mothers.I suppose it happens   8  , friendship circles spiraling in and around and about and anew.

  This is the   9   time we’ve gathered without the kids, and I am having a   10   time saying “Janice”, as opposed to “Zoe’s mom” or “Susan”,   11   “Kaitlin’s mom”, and so I have decided, for tonight, not to   12   any names at all.

  The   13   has already taken our drink order.I can’t believe nobody   14   beer.Nope, this is a Diet Coke and iced tea crowd.In the back of my mind I’m   15   if I’m going to be the naughty   16   who corrupts this group.

  There is so much   17   to take care of when you are just getting to   18   people as people.One of the things we are doing is   19   dates, the years that each of us   20   from this or that.I see where this is going.

They huddled (挤在一起) inside the storm door – two children in dirty old coats.

“Any old __36___ , lady?”

I was __37__ with my household budget (预算). I wanted to say no --- until I looked down at their __38__ .

I __42__ them cocoa and bread with jam (果酱) to __43__ against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started __44__ on my household budget.

I __45__ the silence in the front room and looked in. The girl held the empty __46__ in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady ... are you rich?”

“Am I rich? No!”

The girl put her cup back in its saucer (碟子) – __47_ . “Your cups __48__ your saucers.” Her voice was old, with a __49__ that was not of the stomach.

They left then, holding their newspapers __50__ the wind. They hadn’t said __51__ . They didn’t need to. They had done more than that. Plain blue pottery cups and saucers. __52__ they matched. I tasted the potatoes and stirred (搅拌) the gravy (肉汁). Potatoes and brown gravy, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job – these things matched, too.

I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were __53__ wet upon my heart. I let them be. I want them there __54__ I ever forget again how very__55__ I am.

 ‘How lucky you are to be a doctor …’ Anyone who’s a doctor is right out of luck, I thought. Anyone who’s studying medicine should have his head examined.

You may think I want to change my job. Well, at the moment I do. As one of my friends says-even doctors have a few friends-it’s all experience. Experience! I don’t need such experience. I need a warm, comfortable, undisturbed bed of my own. I need it badly. I need all telephones to be thrown down the nearest well, that’s what I need.

All these thoughts fly round my head as I drive my Mini(微型汽车) through the foggy streets of East London at 3:45 a.m. on a December morning. I am a ministering angel in a Mini with a heavy coat and a bag of medicines. As I speed down Lea Bridge in the dark at this horrible morning hour, the heater first blowing hot then cold, my back aching from the car-seat, I do not feel like a ministering angel. I wish I were on the beach in southern France. Call me a bad doctor if you like. Call me what you will. But don’t call me at half past three on a December morning for an ear-ache that you have had for two weeks.

Of course, being a doctor isn’t really all bad. We do have our moments. Once in a while people are ill, once in a while you can help, once in a while you get given a cup of tea and rock-hard cake at two o’clock in the morning-then you worry if you have done everything. But all too often ‘everything’ is a repetitious rule: look, listen, feel, tap, pills, injection, phone, ambulance, away to the next.

And then there is always the cool, warm voice of the girl on the switchboard of the emergency bed service who will get your patient into hospital for you-the pleasant voice that comes to you as you stand in the cold, dark, smelly, dirty telephone box somewhere in a dangerous section of town. Oh, it has its moments, this life does.

1.According to the sentence “Anyone who’s studying medicine should have his head examined,” we know that ___________.

    A.a medical student should have a very good memory

    B.a doctor must be mentally strong so that he can meet any difficult situation

    C.the writer thinks that those who want to be doctors are crazy

    D.to be a doctor is a challenge for people’s mental health

2.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

    A.The writer wishes he could have a quiet, undisturbed night in bed at home.

    B.One of his friends says that being a doctor helps one gain all sorts of experience.

    C.He hates the telephone as a modern means of communication.

    D.He is not happy with the small and uncomfortable car he is driving.

3.The statement “We do have our moments” could best be replaced by “___________”.

    A.we doctors are called at a moment’s notice to see people who need medical treatment

    B.usually we are glad that we can do something to help the sick

    C.sometimes we find people are thankful for our help

    D.there are chances that doctors find their work rewarding and satisfying

4.From the whole passage we know that the writer _____________.

    A.is a bad doctor, unwilling to make a house call during the night-time

    B.is so dissatisfied with his job that he wishes to find a new one

    C.is satisfied with his job but he hates to be called out unnecessarily

    D.thinks a doctor can enjoy certain special rights whether he felt lucky or not
