Question

阅读理解 　　It was the afternoon of December 24, the day before Christmas; and as the newest doctor in our office, I had to work．The only thing that brightened my day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our waiting room and a gift sent to me by a fellow I was dating－a dozen long-stemmed red roses． 　　As I was cleaning my office, our receptionist came and said there was a lady in the front office that urgently needed to speak with me．As I stepped out, I noticed a young, tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms．Nervously, she explained that her husband－a prisoner in a nearby prison－was my next patient．The guards were scheduled to bring him to the office that afternoon．She told me she wasn't allowed to visit her husband in prison and that he had never seen his son．Her request was for me to let the boy's father sit in the waiting room with her as long as possible before I called him for his appointment．Since my schedule wasn't full, I agreed．After all, it was Christmas Eve． 　　A short time later, her husband arrived－with chains on his feet and hands, and two armed guards as bodyguards．The woman's tired face lit up like our little Christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside her．I kept glancing out to watch them laugh, cry, and share their child．After almost an hour, I called the prisoner back to my office．While I worked, the guards stood just outside my door．The patient seemed like a gentle and modest man．I wondered what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions．I tried to make him as comfortable as possible． 　　At the end of the appointment, I wished him a Merry Christmas－a difficult thing to say to a man headed back to prison．He smiled and thanked me．He also said he felt saddened by the fact he hadn't been able to get his wife anything for Christmas．On hearing this, I was inspired with a wonderful idea． 　　I'll never forget the look on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful, long-stemmed roses．I'm not sure who experienced the most joy－the husband in giving, the wife in receiving, or myself in having the opportunity to share in this special moment． (1) What can be inferred from the first paragraph? [　　] A． The writer was a newcomer to her office． B． A fellow sent her a dozen red roses as Christmas present． C． She was in low spirits because she had to work before Christmas． D． She was at work with a light heart． (2) The young woman came to the writer's office for the purpose of ________． [　　] A． having her baby examined B． giving her husband a chance to make his escape C． having her husband examined D． getting a chance for her family to get together (3) The underlined part in paragraph 3 most probably means “________”． [　　] A． to be sent to hospital B． to be separated from his family C． to be comfortable D． to become a prisoner (4) What does the writer learn from the story? [　　] A． The wife experienced the most joy in receiving． B． An act of kindness can mean a lot． C． The prisoner was treated with mercy． D． Whoever breaks the law should be punished．

Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．D;3．D;4．B;
解析：

(1)	推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I had to work．The only thing that brightened my day”说明作者认为她的一天都是黑暗的，唯一让她感到高兴的只是那束玫瑰花。故答案选择C项“因为要在圣诞节前工作心情很不高兴”。A项“是办公室的新来者”，B项“一个人送给她一束玫瑰花作为礼物”(判断不出，因为这花也许是单位送的)，D项“她以轻松的心态工作”不合实情。
(2)	细节归纳题。根据第二段的描述可知那位妇女是为了请求作者给她一个机会让她跟自己丈夫团聚并让他看看他自己还没见过面的孩子，应选择D项。A项“让孩子体检”，“给她丈夫一个机会逃跑”，C项“让他的丈夫体检”都不符合实情。
(3)	句意理解题。从第二段文章就已经介绍了那个女人丈夫的身份，再根据第二段她丈夫带着脚链手铐，但那人跟自己妻子和孩子一起时又显得特别温柔谦虚，因此作者不知道他是怎么会成为囚徒的。故答案为D项。A项“被送往医院”，B项“与家庭分离”，C项“舒服”都与上下文不符。
(4)	[解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段因为作者让囚徒把那束玫瑰花送给妻子时他们两人激动的心情可知一个小小的善良之举有时却意义重大，答案选B项。A项“妻子在收到礼物时体验到最大的快乐”较为片面，C项“囚犯被宽恕”，D项“谁犯法都得惩罚”偏题了。 　　[文章大意]在圣诞节的前夜，作者作为一个新医生遇到一个特殊病人——一个需要医护的囚犯，她帮助病人与他的妻子及还未见面的孩子团聚。
