Question

We walked in the hospital so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn't even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched mouth open in surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop. She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, "Very dirty floors."

"Yes, I'm glad they've finally decided to clean them," the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, "But aren't you working late?"

Mum just pushed harder, each swipe (拖一下) of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book.

After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, Mum bowed politely to the nurse and said, "Thank you."

Outside, Mum told me, "Dagmar is fine. No fever. "

"You saw her, Mum?"

"Of course. I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop worrying as well. It's a fine hospital. But such floors! A mop is no good. You need a brush."

【解析】

試題分析：文章講述作者和媽媽去醫(yī)院看望姐姐，但是因為醫(yī)院的規(guī)定不允許，媽媽只好裝成是清潔工，進入病房探望

1.C推理題：這道題要求讀者判斷"媽媽"從一間小房間拿拖把的真正意圖是什么。應該說除了 D 選項與文段的信息完全無關外，其它三個選項相互都有一定的干擾性，但只要我們注意到文段所敘述的事件的背景是在一家醫(yī)院，再結合文段末尾作者與母親之間的對話，就不難判斷 該題的正確答案是 C 選項。

2.D推理題：根據第二段的句子："Yes, I'm glad they've finally decided to clean them, "the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, "But aren't you working late?"可知護士以為媽媽是一個清潔工，所以選D

3.B 細節(jié)理解題。文章講述作者和媽媽去醫(yī)院看望姐姐，但是因為醫(yī)院的規(guī)定不允許，媽媽只好裝成是清潔工，進入病房探望，故可以推斷出醫(yī)院有嚴格的探視制度，因此選B項。

4.A推理題：根據最后一段的句子："Of course I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop worrying as well. 可以推斷出Dagmar 是作者，作者的媽媽和爸爸都關心的人，應該是很親密的家人，四個選項中只有A符合

5.C 推斷題。作者和媽媽去醫(yī)院看望姐姐，但是因為醫(yī)院的規(guī)定不允許，媽媽只好裝成是清潔工，進入病房探望可知媽媽很聰明，故選C項。
