[答案]

作者的哥哥生病时,他们一家得到了社会的关爱。身体恢复后,作者和他的家人以他们的实际行动来回报社会。

21.B。这里考查not only...but(also)...结构。不仅仅是为了我们,而且是为了我们整个家庭。

22.C。我们住在一个朋友家里,身体恢复了(recover)。其他选项都不符合语意。

23.A。从上下文可知,朋友对我们非常好,他的好意(kindness)我们永远也忘不了。

24.B。从上下文可知,我们接待了很多人(people),这其中有认识的和不认识的,所以不能选(friends),也不一定是(patients)或者(doctors),而是指不同的人,所以用people。

25.D。这些人给了我们物质上的东西,也给了(give)我们远超过物质的安慰。

26.C。从上下文可知,此处表示“我哥哥身体已经恢复”。

27.A。从下文可知,“我”哥哥决定(decide)通过骑车180英里(从休斯敦到奥斯订)来为医学联合会筹款(money),从而回报社会。

28.D。解析参见27题。

29.A。“我”被哥哥的这种行为深深感动,饱含泪水,“我”知道(know)“我”的肾给了他第二次生命,他现在过着的生活(life)远远超出他的想象。expect“期待”;hope“希望”;report“报道”,都不符合语意。

30.B。解析参见29题。

31.C。从上下文可知,此处表示原因,所以用because。因为“我”的母亲是照顾“我”和哥哥的亲人,所以我们想做些事情以表示对她的敬意(in one’s honor)。

32.D。固定词组in one’s honor表示“向……表示敬意”。其他选项都不符合语意。

33.A。根据上下文语境可知此处应选A。

34.C。while在这里表示对比和参照关系,可解释为“与此同时……”。

35.D。“我”和哥哥要参加半程马拉松比赛,这也是一次宣传捐肾活动的好机会(chance)。

36.B。我们发现(find out)每年有成千上万人死于肾病。figure out“算出,想出”;learn from“从……学得”;look into“调查”。

37.B。从上下文可知,很多病人都排队等着(wait)有人来捐献肾脏,但是由于捐献者的缺乏(lack),很多人不得不面对死亡。

38.C。解析参见37题。

39.A。如果“我”和哥哥能够鼓励(encourage)别人像“我”一样(捐献肾脏的话),也许会有更多的人获救。

40.D。if only表示“要是……就好了”,语意表示“要是我有更多的肾脏,我将会再一次捐献给别人”。
