Question

【题目】

That year, I was a Junior 2 student. Falling off the stairs hurt me in the head. Almost everyone thought I was dead. But they were wrong. However, it was difficult to get back to normal (正常的) life. I had to leave school and learn everything, walking, talking, and yes, maths.

To help me with that task, Mrs. Pillar volunteered to come to the hospital and later to my house once a week. We began with basic maths skills. As time passed by, I made progress(进步).

I remembered very vividly how she came to my home on Sundays, sat with me at the kitchen table, and threw different coins on the table. She asked me to show her 38 cents, 17 cents, 63 cents. It was challenging (挑战), but she also made it fun.

After a year and a half, I made progress a lot, both in body and mind, to return to school. Seven years later, I graduated (毕业) from the University of Texas at the top of my class .

As years went by, I always kept in touch with Mrs. Pillar. Unluckily, one day my parents told me that Mrs. Pillar was in hospital because she suffered a stroke (中风).

Now it was my turn to help her. Mrs. Pillar lay in bed, unable to speak and know anybody around. I pulled some coins out of my pocket, dropped them on her bed, and asked her to show me 12 cents. The nurse thought that my action was very strange until one day Mrs. Pillar smiled happily as I began working with her - just as she had worked with me years before. She made progress every day and was moved out of ICU and finally out of hospital.

One day, I called to wish her a happy New Year. She spoke into the phone excitedly, "Happy New Year to you and your family，Michael. Thank you for everything you've done for me." I quickly said,"Thank you for everything you've done for me."

Mrs. Pillar was one of my Junior 2 teachers,but she taught me much more about life than only maths.

【1】细节理解题。根据文中第一段中的Falling off the stairs hurt me in the head. … I had to leave school可知，这是b序号；根据文中第二段至第四段After a year and a half, I made progress a lot, both in body and mind, to return to school. 一年半后，我在身心上都有了很大的进步，回到了学校。可知，这是序号c；根据文中第五段Unluckily, one day my parents told me that Mrs. Pillar was in hospital because she suffered a stroke (中风). 不幸的是，有一天，我父母告诉我，皮罗太太住院了，因为她中风了。可知，这是序号a；根据文中第六段She made progress every day and was moved out of ICU and finally out of hospital. 她每天都有进步，从重症监护室搬出来，最后出院。和第七段One day, I called to wish her a happy New Year. She spoke into the phone excitedly …Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.可知，这是序号d；所以文章的顺序应该是b-c-a-d，故选C。
