Question

【题目】 We could all say that we have bad days as we go through life, but what does it take to have a rally good day?

I remember a day recently when I had to go to the hospital for special _______ because I wasn't feeling well and my doctor sent me to a specialist to try and find the cause of my illness.

As I _______ to the hospital, I was feeling sad and certainly wasn't on top of my game. As I got to the hospital, I began my _______ for a parking lot. I finally found one not too far from the entrance to the hospital.

As I got out and brought my change out of my pocket, I noticed a man looking a little _______ standing in front of a parking meter（停车记时收费表）two cars away. He seemed to be searching his pockets for what I supposed were _______ for the meter.

Although I _______ didn't feel that great, I thought that I should at least go over to him and find out if I could _______ him. As I stood beside him, he turned to me, looking anxious. I asked him if he had a problem I could help with. He said that he had no changes at all because he was only thinking about visiting his sick wife when he left his house.

I reached into my pocket and _______ out two dollars and gave it to him without saying a word. And, without waiting for a reply, I turned on my heel and said to him as I was walking away: “Have a good day.”

The funny thing was that I felt a lot brighter. A small smile came to my face, and I seemed to walk just a little quicker. I was walking away when he called out: “Thank you so much.” You know, I didn't even _______ him to say anything. He didn't have to say a word to me. It was simply enough to know that I had helped someone else who needed a __________. That's all it took to bring a smile to my face as I went on toward completing my own business.

You know, it doesn't take much to help someone else.

【解析】

这篇短文主要讲述了作者在去看病的途中帮助了一位男士的故事，帮助别人并不会花费我们太多东西，因而我们不要吝啬，多去帮助需要帮助的人。

【1】句意：我记着最近的一天，当我不得不去医院进行特殊的检测，因为我感觉不是很好，我的医生把我送到一个专家那里试着找出我的病因。

tests检测；actions行动；care关心；comfort舒适。此句是一个原因状语从句，根据“because I wasn't feeling well and my doctor sent me to a specialist to try and find the cause of my illness.”可知我去医院的目的是找出病因，因此需要做一些检测。故选A。

【2】句意：当我开车去医院的时候，我感到悲伤，当然超出我的控制。

walked走；ran跑；rode路；drove开车。根据a parking lot“一个停车场”可知作者是开车去的。故选D。

【3】句意：我开始搜寻一个停车区。

search搜寻；plan计划；travel旅行；design设计。根据宾语a parking lot可知，此处表示找停车场，因此这里是说“搜寻”的意思。故选A。

【4】句意：我注意到一个男人看起来有点担心的站在停车记时收费表的前面。

tired累人的；worried担心的；relaxed放松的；bored无聊的。根据下文“As I stood beside him, he turned to me, looking anxious.”“我走到他旁边，他看向我，看起来很焦虑”，可推测这位男子现在应该是焦虑、担心的。故选B。

【5】句意：他好像在口袋里搜寻，我认为是为收费表准备的硬币。

tools工具；keys钥匙；coins硬币；cards卡片。根据“As I got out and brought my change out of my pocket…”作者的行为可知，作者到停车场后准备零钱，给停车付费，因此可推测这个男子也是在找钱，“硬币”符合题意。故选C。

【6】句意：尽管我真的没有感到伟大……

probably可能地；suddenly突然地；finally最后；really真地。此空为副词修饰动词，此处作者想表达自己并没有觉得自己的行为伟大，really符合句意。故选D。

【7】句意：……我认为我应该至少走向他，找到是否我可以帮助他。

help帮助；understand理解；follow跟随；join加入。根据下文“I asked him if he had a problem I could help with.”“我问他是否他有困难我能帮助的”可知作者是想去帮助这个男子。故选A。

【8】句意：我放进兜里，拿出2美元，没有说话把它给了他。

pushed推；made制作；pulled拖拉；sent送。根据“…gave it to him…”可知我从兜里拿出2美元给他。短语pull out表示“拿出”。故选C。

【9】句意：你知道，我甚至没有期待他说什么。

mean意义；expect期待；make制作；save节省。根据“He didn't have to say a word to me.”可知作者认为他没有必要说什么，因此可推测作者本没有期待他说什么。短语expect sb. to do sth.表示“期待某人做某事”。故选B。

【10】句意：仅仅知道我帮助了需要帮助的某个人就足够了。

courage鼓励；patience耐心；hand帮助；guide引导。who引导的定语从句，先行词为someone，这里指代的是需要帮助的人，need a hand表示“需要帮助”，此处hand表示名词“帮助”。故选C。
