Question

About 3 months ago, my father was in hospital recovering from a major lung operation. My mother had recently passed away, and my father had taken the loss of his partner of 58 years very hard and had lost interest in life. It was quite difficult to try to get him to eat each day as he didn’t want anything. The one thing, however, that he would ask us to bring him was ice cream.

One evening, to our surprise, he refused to eat the ice cream, so I placed it in a staffroom refrigerator. A little while later, my son said he wanted it, so I fetched it for him. As I passed another ward (病房), a woman asked, “Are there more where that came from?” When I explained, she seemed very disappointed. She then said that she had cancer and could eat very little other than the occasional ice cream.

The next evening, I decided to buy two ice creams. On the way to dad’s room, I came into the sick woman’s room, and offered her the ice cream I’d bought for her. She was totally astonished that I had thought of her, and accepted the gift with tears in her eyes. I spoke with her for a few minutes, explaining what was happening in my family and listened to her similar story of pain and suffering. It was obvious that she did not have many visitors.

I repeated the gesture a few days later, and this time I received a warm hug. I never even thought to ask her name and never saw her again, but it made me realize that a simple act of kindness can bring joy to a person’s unfortunate life.

【解析】

試題分析：媽媽去世了，父親失去了生活的興趣，不想吃飯，偶爾會(huì)吃一個(gè)冰激凌。作者得知一位身患癌癥的女病人沒(méi)人照顧，也想吃冰激凌，給她買(mǎi)了兩次，令她大為感動(dòng)。勿以善小而不為。

1.文章第一段第二句話可知，我媽媽去世了，父親失去了生活的興趣，不想吃飯。所以選C。

2.詞意推測(cè)題。根據(jù)It was obvious that she did not have many visitors.前后可知，通過(guò)交流了解了彼此的情況，顯而易見(jiàn)那位女病人沒(méi)有多少來(lái)看她的人，其它選項(xiàng)不合適，所以選D。

3.主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章最后一句話可知，文章要表達(dá)的意思是，一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的善舉給一個(gè)不幸的人帶來(lái)了快樂(lè)。所以選D。

4.推理判斷題。根據(jù)It was obvious that she did not have many visitors.前后可知，父親有時(shí)會(huì)要冰激凌吃。這天晚上父親有不吃了。當(dāng)他路過(guò)那位婦女的病房時(shí)，他被詢問(wèn)冰激凌的事，后來(lái)專門(mén)買(mǎi)給她；通過(guò)談話才知道她的情況。 她身患癌癥，又沒(méi)人照顧。所以選C。

5.5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后可知，作者給素不相識(shí)的女病人買(mǎi)了兩次冰激凌，令她大為感動(dòng)。說(shuō)明人在不幸的時(shí)候，哪怕是一個(gè)小小的善舉都會(huì)倍受感動(dòng)。所以選B。

考點(diǎn)：社會(huì)類短文閱讀。
