【題目】I walked down the hall heading to see my 88-year-old grandma who had been in hospital. Each member of the family was taking turns sitting with her because of her dementia (癡呆). As I did I looked very carefully at some of the rooms on this wing of the hospital, and it seemed that almost every bed held an elderly person. Some appeared to be confused, and some just looked lonely. I couldn’t help but notice that there was no family there, no one to care them, and no one to reduce the ache of loneliness. My heart broke inside me.

They are aging, with withered (萎縮的) skin on their faces and hands, their eyes look tried, and yet no one notices them. Could it be that we are far too busy to slow down and give a moment of our time to anyone that may swerve (使突然轉(zhuǎn)向) us off the course we are traveling on? Are we afraid of those who have come before us to pave the way, afraid that they carry some awful disease that if we get too close we might catch it?

Whatever the case may be, one day we will be those same people that we long to avoid. We pay thousands of dollars for staying young, and we may turn up the music to forget the thoughts of getting older. But, try as we might, time and age will catch up with us.

We seem to have come to detest (嫌惡) the elderly. While we once held them in high regard and honor, always enjoying their stories of history, we now see them as a pain, always in our way. Isn’t it time we wake up?

So, next time you see a withered hand extended in need, or peer into the eyes of a lonely aging face, don’t run or look away. Remember, it might just be you in that place one day.

【1】What made the author deeply sad?

A. The poor food for the patients.

B. The sight he saw in the hospital.

C. The hopeless patients in the hospital.

D. The bad service of the hospital.

2What’s people’s excuse for not visiting the old?

A. They are too busy.

B. They can’t afford it.

C. They live too far away.

D. They usually travel abroad.

3What can we learn from the passage?

A. Time will tell the truth.

B. People are afraid of being old.

C. A doctor is important to old people.

D. Respecting elderly people is a good tradition.

4What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?

A. Respect the old.

B. Get along well with the old.

C. Help and pay attention to the old.

D. Spend more time with our parents.

試題分析: 本文通過作者親身所見來呼吁人們關(guān)注老人。

【1】B 推斷題。根據(jù)第一段提到Some appeared to be confused, and some just looked lonely. I couldn’t help but notice that there was no family there, no one to care them, and no one to reduce the ache of loneliness. My heart broke inside me.有一些人很困惑,一些人看起來很孤獨,但我注意到,沒有家人,沒有人關(guān)心他們,沒有人減少他們的孤獨,我的內(nèi)心碎了,故選B項。

【2】A 推斷題。根據(jù)第二段提到Could it be that we are far too busy to slow down and give a moment of our time to anyone that may swerve (使突然轉(zhuǎn)向) us off the course we are traveling on難道因為我們太忙而減少探望他們的時間,故選A項。

【3】B 推斷題。根據(jù)第三段提到We pay thousands of dollars for staying young, and we may turn up the music to forget the thoughts of getting older.我花了很多的錢來保持年輕,我們聽音樂想忘記變老的想法,故選B項。

【4】C 推斷題。根據(jù)最后一段提到So, next time you see a withered hand extended in need, or peer into the eyes of a lonely aging face, don’t run or look away. Remember, it might just be you in that place one day下次當(dāng)你看到枯萎的手,孤獨的雙眼,不要走開,記住,這是你將來的樣子,故多關(guān)注老人,因此選C項。

What could be more refreshing than drink a can of icy cold soda after exercising? Soda is a popular drink all over the world. But drinking too many of it can have serious health consequences. For an instance, weight gain is a strongly possibility, as a result of the high sugar and calories. Drinking soda has also been linked to tooth decay(蛀牙). In fact, the acid in soda can begin damaging teeth just 20 minute after soda is drinking, according to a survey. Unfortunately, sales of soda is going down in the US, as the survey shows. That’s probably why nowadays people are more aware this sweet drink’s health risks.
