A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside. “Your son is here,”she said to the old man. She had to repeat the words several times before the patient’s eyes opened.
Heavily drugged with sleep because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly(隱約) saw the young uniformed Marine standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached out with his hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old man’s weak ones, expressing a message of love and encouragement. The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the bed.
All through the night the young Marine sat there in the poorly lighted ward(病房), holding the old man’s hand and offering him words of love and strength. Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine move away and rest a while. He refused. Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only holding tightly to his son all through the night. Along towards dawn, the old man died.
The Marine released the now lifeless hand he had been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he waited.
Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the Marine interrupted her.“Who was that man?”he asked. The nurse was surprised. “He was your father,”she answered. “No, he wasn’t,”the Marine replied. “I never saw him before in my life.”“Then why didn’t you say something when I took you to him?”asked the nurse. “I knew right away there had been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son, and his son just wasn’t here. When I realized that he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son, knowing how much he needed me, I stayed.”he answered.
小題1:Why did the nurse take the Marine to the old man’s bed?
A．Because he was the old man’s son.
B．Because she knew that he was a warm-hearted man.
C．Because she couldn’t find anyone else there.
D．Because she thought he was the old man’s son.
小題2:Why did the old man hold the Marine’s hand all through the night?
A．Because he knew he would die the next day.
B．Because he hadn’t seen his son for a long time.
C．Because he was dying and mistook him for his son.
D．Because he enjoyed doing that and so did the Marine.
小題3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．The Marine didn’t know the old man at all.
B．The nurse was careless and made a mistake.
C．The Marine happened to be the old man’s son’s friend.
D．The old man passed away peacefully and contentedly.
小題4:What can we learn from the passage?
A．The next time someone needs you, be there.
B．All the soldiers are as kind as the Marine.
C．We’d better not correct someone else’s mistakes.
D．The young should accompany their parents all the time.

小題1:D
小題2:C
小題3:C
小題4:A

試題分析：
小題1:從第一段的句子：A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside. “Your son is here,”和最后一段的句子：“Who was that man?”he asked. The nurse was surprised. “He was your father,”she answered.可知護士以為Marine是老人的兒子，D正確。
小題2:推理題：從文章中得知老人一直抓住Marine的手，和最后一段的句子：I knew right away there had been a mistake,說明老人肯定是把他當成兒子。選C
小題3:推理題：從最后一段的“No, he wasn’t,”the Marine replied. “I never saw him before in my life.”可知他和老人并不認識。選C
小題4:從最后一段的內(nèi)容我們得到啟發(fā)，如果有人需要，在那里。選A
考點:考查故事類短文
點評;文章講述的是護士和老人都把Marine當成老人的兒子，而Marine也沒有揭穿，繼續(xù)充當老人的兒子，陪老人走完最后一程。文章有很強的思想性，同時注意對文章細節(jié)的理解和把握。特別是文章最后一段文章，推理出作者的態(tài)度和意圖。

I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have eggs and toast. Others had cokes and candy for lunch while I had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from the other kids’. But at least I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace(丟臉) because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.
The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.
She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a background, I’m now trying to bring up my three children. I’m filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.

Let me take you back a couple of years. Come with me as we relearn a lesson, one that has stuck with me, in my present memory, and   36  me yet. We walked into Elida Road Hardware, an old-fashioned hardware    37___ . No automatic door, not a computer in the building. It was one that I went to fairly often. As we entered the door, two sounds    38  us. The sleigh bells of last year made that sweet, peaceful tinkle as we opened the door. The other sound was the electronic beeper that reminded Andy of our   39   .
“Good afternoon, Ryan,”     40    the cheerful greeting. Andy was a very   41    sort of owner. He was of medium build and height, and the smile on his face welcomed us.
We walked across the old wood floor. Andy asked us what he could help us with. I told him we were      42   a spring(彈簧). He very patiently replied, “l(fā) have lots of springs. You’re going to need to be more specific.”
“Just a spring for an old-fashioned screen door.”
“That’s it. A screen door spring, right down there. ” We   43  where he was pointing, and sure enough, there they were. And knew his store, and his products. That was why I came here instead of Meijer. The service couldn’t be beaten. The price; Yes. But service and  44    ;No.
I picked up one and followed him to the    45   .
He figured up the price, doing the math in his head, “ $1.88,with tax comes to $1. 99. ”
“ Put it on my dad’s account. ”
He nodded and smiled, “ Good dad’s account. ” He smiled. “I don’t know what you boys would do    46    dad’s account! ”
He handed me the ticket and as I    47    it, I asked, “You really trust my signature?”
His reply surprised,_   48    delighted me. “ When I can’t trust Jerry Hoover’s boys, I can trust nobody! ”
We left, and the brain immediately started to forget things, in order of importance. But what Andy said that day rang in my ears. And it rings in my ears today. That’s a tall order to live up to. It’s a high standard of    49   .My father made a fame for that name, and I get to enjoy the benefits. But on account of this, I must maintain that fame. And that’s     50    business.

Tomorrow evening I will be interviewed on stage by a museum official. I will be an interpreter, talking from experience as a disability rights lawyer and activist.
In “special” schools and camps for children with physical and mental disabilities, I grew up knowing we were a category of person that the world did not want. Most of us had a story of some doctor advising our parents to put up away or to let us die. We owed our survival to parents who had irrationally(不理性地) bonded with us. We knew we were lucky and hoped our luck would hold. To increase the chance of surviving, we tended to be charming. We developed thick skins.
By the time I roll onto the stage the next night, I’ve thought a lot about there and here, then and now. When the first question comes, I tell them about my fascination with the wheelchair, and somehow it sounds funny, and laughter fills the room. We talk from the horror of Nazis killing (Nazis once killed the disabled patients as useless) to a funny confession that I, too, tend to stare at disabled people on the street.
What has come over me? In this room, people with disabilities in thrilling variety make me feel at home. Here people, disabled and not, are gathered by choice.
I haven’t forgotten that 2 million people remain in US disability institutions, that some disabled children still cannot attend mainstream schools, that too many of us live in poverty. But I can’t hold onto anger and sorrow for I feel a shared sense of possibility, a drive for a world that will embrace both the fit and the unfit and hold them so dear that the division dies.
小題1:What’s the author according to the passage?
A．A disabled lawyer.
B．A reporter.
C．An actor
D．An interviewer
小題2:The underlined phrase “thick skins” in the second paragraph probably means__.
A．with more clothes
B．making skin dirty
C．caring nothing of ignorance
D．growing more slowly than others
小題3:The second paragraph is mainly focused on ________.
A．the growth of the disabled people
B．the hatred of the disabled people
C．the love of the disabled people
D．the appreciation of the disabled people
小題4:It can be sensed but not clearly stated that the author________.
A．likes to be interviewed in a museum
B．can tell funny stories
C．has charming personality
D．is humorous and optimistic
小題5:What’s the author’s attitude towards the future?

For many years, I was sure that my suffering was because of my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.
Many obese（overweight）people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin means being loved, being special, and being cherished. We imagine what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally realize its promise of happiness, and of course, love.
It took me a long while to know that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards are different with culture. In Somoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us try hard to change our body, but with no result. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves,  the whole world changes.
小題1:The passage tries to tell us the importance of ______.
A．body size
B．a(chǎn)ttitudes toward life
C．culture difference
D．different beauty standards
小題2:What does the underlined word “everything” (paragraph 2) mean?
A．All the problems.B．All the bodies.
C．The whole world.D．The truth.
小題3:What can be inferred about the author?
A．The author is a Samoan.
B．The author succeeded in losing weight.
C．The author has been troubled by her/his weight.
D．The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.
小題4:According to the author, what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later?
A．They feel angry about the regained weight.
B．They don’t care about the regained weight.
C．They feel optimistic（樂觀的）about future plans on weight control.
D．They think they should give up their future plans on weight control.
