Question

【题目】阅读理解
My husband and I had been married nearly twenty-two years when I acquired Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a disorder where my immune（免疫的）system responded to a virus by producing painful blisters. Although my long-term evaluation was good, I, who had been so fiercely independent, rapidly became absolutely helpless.
My husband, Scott, stepped up to the plate, taking care of kids and cooking dinners. He also became my personal caretaker, applying the medicine to all of my blisters because my hands couldn’t do the job. Needless to say, I had negative emotions, bouncing from embarrassment to shame caused by total reliance on someone other than myself.
I recovered from my illness, but I couldn’t seem to recover from the thought that I loved my husband less than he loved me. This seeming distinction in our love continued to annoy me for the year following my illness.
Then recently Scott and I went on a long bike ride. He’s an experienced cyclist; I’m quite the green hand. At one point with a strong headwind and sharp pain building in my tired legs, I really thought I couldn’t go any further. Seeing me struggle, Scott pulled in front of me and yelled over his shoulder, “Stay close behind me.” As I followed his steps, I discovered that my legs quit burning and I was able to catch my breath. My husband was pulling me along-again.
I pray my husband will always be strong and healthy. But if he should ever become the struggling one, whether on a bike ride or with an illness, I trust Ill be ready to call out to him, Stay close behind me--my turn to pull you along.

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）A
（2）C
（3）B
（4）C
【解析】这是一篇记叙文，作者得病后，她的丈夫一直照顾她，鼓励和支持她，给她帮助和力量；作者最后也发出感慨，倘若有一天角色互换，她也会同样给她的丈夫支持和力量。

（1）A细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“I, who had been so fiercely independent, rapidly became absolutely helpless.” 可知，文章作者曾经十分独立，但是在得病后变得很无助，A选项 “She lost the previous independence”意为“她失去了之前的独立”，符合题干，故A选项正确。B选项“failed to get the medical treatment”意为“没能得到治疗”，C选项“Her marriage was in a terrible state”意为“她的婚姻状况很糟糕”，D选项“suffered from mental disorder”意为“患有精神病”，均不符合文意，故排除B、C、D。

（2）C推理判断题。根据第二段“stepped up to the plate（开始行动）, taking care of kids and cooking dinners”和 “became my personal caretaker（看护）”可推知作者的丈夫在作者得病后照顾家庭，看护生病的作者，故选C“Family-centered（顾家的）”。选项A中的“Impatient（没有耐心的）”，选项B中的“Independent（独立的）”以及选项D中的“Career-centered（以事业为中心的）”在原文均没有提及，故排除A，B，D。

（3）B细节理解题。根据第四段“Seeing me struggle, Scott pulled（拉） in front of me and yelled over his shoulder, “Stay close behind me（紧紧跟着我）.” 和“My husband was pulling me along—again.” 可知，当作者进行长途的骑车运动时，她的丈夫一路上给她支持和鼓励，B选项 “backed her up all the way”意为“一路上支持她”，符合题干，故B选项正确。A选项“followed her closely”意为“紧跟着她”，C选项“gave in to her depression”意为“屈服于她的沮丧”，D选项“stopped to take care of her leg”意为“停下来照顾她的脚 ”，均不符合文意，故排除A、C、D。

（4）C主旨大意题。根据整篇文章和倒数第二段最后一句以及最后一段点题段的描述，在作者得病后，她的丈夫一直照顾她，鼓励和支持她，给她帮助和力量；作者最后也发出感慨，倘若有一天角色互换，她也会同样给她的丈夫支持和力量。故C选项 “Reliance on each other（对彼此的依赖）”正确。A选项“Strong will”意为“坚强的意志”；B选项“Selfless love”意为“无私的爱”，主题词为“爱”，不符合文意；D选项“Optimistic attitude to life”意为“乐观的生活态度”。以上三项均偏离文章讨论的中心，故排除A，B和D。
