Question

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。
Just 10 years ago, I sat across the desk from a doctor. “Yes,” he said, “there is something wrong with the left, upper lung. You are suffering a severe cancer. You'll have to give up work at once. Later on, we'll see.”
Feeling like a man who is in midcareer has suddenly been placed under sentence of death, I left the doctor's office, walked over to the park, and sat down on a chair. I needed to think. In the next 3 days, I cleared up my affairs, then I went home, got into bed, and set my watch to tick off not the minutes, but the months. Two years later, I left my bed and began the long climb back. It was another year before I made it.
I speak of this experience because these years that passed so slowly taught me what to value and what to believe. I realize now that each day, to me, is a precious thing. I've learned to appreciate those little things I never thought I had the time to notice before: the play of light on running water, the music of the wind.
Frequently, I sit back and say to myself, “Let me make note of this moment I'm living right now, because in it I'm well, happy and hard at work doing what I like best to do. It won't always be like this, so while it is, I'll make the most of it—and afterwards, I remember—and be grateful. I contribute all these to that long time spent on the fight with cancer.”

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）A
（2）B
（3）A
（4）D
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述作者与癌症顽强抗争的故事。作者虽然被诊断出肺癌，但是作者没有被动地等死，而是积极乐观地生活，与病魔作斗争，最终战胜了病魔。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“ Feeling like a man who is in midcareer has suddenly been placed under sentence of death, I left the doctor's office, walked over to the park, and sat down on a chair.”可知，当作者被诊断为肺癌后感到像是被判了死刑，很绝望，感到无助。hopeless表示“绝望的，没有希望的”。故选A。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Two years later, I left my bed and began the long climb back. It was another year before I made it.”可知，作者经过三年，最后终于战胜了病魔，故B正确。
（3）考查词义猜测。作者在第二段末尾说经过三年终于战胜了病魔，第三段一开头又说这几年过得很缓慢。显然these years指的是与肺癌斗争到痊愈的这几年，即生病的这几年，故A正确。
（4）考查推理判断。根据文章第三、四两段可知，作者通过与病魔作斗争，意识到必须珍视和过好每一天，因为生命是美好的，故D正确。
