Mr. Smith was almost noncommunicative. After transferring to the nursing home, he slipped into a tense and state, waiting for his life to . All efforts to bring him back to the mainstream life were . Nurses faithfully tended to his physical needs, while he as a shell of flesh and bone, completely lacking in life. For three years, I saw him every week. Not once did I hear him speak a word. Not once could I his innermost thoughts.

On my last nursing home visit, an idea me. I brought my into Mr. Smith’s room as part of a(n) in “pet treatment”. Something occurred. All of a sudden, he sat up and started talking, telling me of the days when he was a boy and had a dog to my own.

He told me stories of adventures he and his dog had had. For the first time, I saw the soul from what had been a living corpse (尸体).

That experience taught me not to underestimate the ability of the things in life to touch hearts when carefully-made medicine has failed, and never to forget that within even the weakest of human bodies lies a life that is precious indeed — that needs to be and honored, even if it can’t speak for itself.

【解析】

试题分析：本文通过作者做实习医生的经历告诉我们，不要低估生活中那些细微的却感动人心的事情，这是非常珍贵的，需要被理解与尊敬。

1.考查形容词辨析A. mental精神上的；B. medical 医学上的；C. personal个人的；D. moral道德上的；本段说疗养院的病人给予“我”教育和启发，这样说并非从纯医学的角度而是指“我”从病人那领悟道理。因此，这里所需要的形容词应该是“medical (医疗的，医学的)”，其他形容词与此处句意不符。

2.考查动词辨析A. guide指导；B. assist帮助；C. teach教D. move移动。 上句中education(教育)一词为考生提供了线索，作者的意思是what they could teach me personally(他们所能教给“我”的道理)。而guide指导，assist帮助，move感动，均不符合。

3.考查名词辨析A. condition 条件；B. position位置；C. relation关系；D. situation情况；纵观全文可知，此处提到的Mr.Smith即是让“我”对疗养院有所感悟的第一个病人，选项B、C、D的意思分别是“来访者”“亲戚”“朋友”，其中最具迷惑性的选项是B。但是仔细推敲句意即可知Mr.Smith不是我的第一个visitor (访客)，符合上下文的正确意思应是“我在疗养院遇到的第一个病人是Mr.Smith”

4.考查动词辨析A. greeted问候；B. received收到； C. boycotted抵制；D. abandoned抛弃；由下文描述Mr.Smith悲观闭锁可知，此处指“Mr.Smith出院不久前遭其家人抛弃”，故选D项。

5.考查名词辨析A. alternative选择；B. dream梦想；C. means方法；D. desire愿望；无法自理而且孤单无助的Mr. Smith“别无选择”，只有依靠疗养院的照料，故选A项。

6.考查名词性从句；此处为where引导的非限制性定语从句，where在其引导的从句中作地点状语。

7.考查副词辨析A. lonely孤单地；B. desperate绝望的；C. calm平静的；D. exciting 兴奋的；根据后面的“waiting for his life to end”及下文可知，Mr.Smith陷入一种紧张绝望的等死状态

8.考查动词辨析A. form形成；B. end 结束；C. renew更新；D. develop发展。 slip into表示“逐渐开始进入某种状态”，故选B项。

9. 考查介词短语辨析A. without meaning没有意义；B. without doubt毫无疑问；C. in vain白费；D. in effect事实上；句意：他所有努力都白费了。根据Nurses faithfully tended to his physical needs, while he as a shell of flesh and bone, completely lacking in life可知选C项。

10.考查动词辨析A. looked看；B. left 离开；C. remained 仍然；D. showed展示；remain在此处为系动词，表示“仍然是，保持不变，句意：而他仍然没有生气，故选C项。

11.考查动词短语辨析 figure out理解某人，弄明白。pick out挑选出，分辨出；seek out找到或找出某人/物；get out秘密泄露；使某人出局；产生；出版，故选D项。

12.考查动词辨析。A. struck 打击；B. occurred 发生；C. happened 发生；D. belonged 属于；句意：在我最后护理的时间，一个想法映入我的脑海。An idea stike sb ,某人突然想起，故选A项。

13.考查名词辨析A. dog狗；B. equipment设备；C. medicine药；D. teacher老师；根据下文中的“pet treatment (利用宠物进行治疗)”及“when he was a boy and had a dog...to my own”可推出，作者抱进去的应为一条狗，故选A项。

14.考查名词辨析A. cure治疗；B. drug药；C. test检测；D. experiment实验；根据上文可知，很多方法对Mr.Smith都没有效果，作者是想用“宠物疗法”做一下试验，故选D项。

15.考查形容词辨析A. puzzling令人困惑的；B. amazing令人吃惊的；C. bothering令人困扰的；D. disappointing令人失望的； amazing令人惊奇的。根据下文可知，Mr.Smith看到狗后突然坐起来并开始讲话，还对作者谈他孩提时的事。这显然是让人感到吃惊的变化，故选B项。

16.考查形容词辨析A. strange奇怪的；B. related 有关的；C. similar类似的；D. familiar熟悉的；句意：突然，他开始说话，告诉我他有条跟我类似的狗，be similar to与某物相似，故选C项。
