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，偶爾會吃一個冰激凌。作者得知一位身患癌癥的女病人沒人照顧，也想吃冰激凌，給她買了兩次，令她大為感動。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.詞意推測題。根據(jù)It was obvious that she did not have many visitors.前后可知，通過交流了解了彼此的情況，顯而易見那位女病人沒有多少來看她的人，其它選項不合適，所以選D。

3.主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章最后一句話可知，文章要表達的意思是，一個簡單的善舉給一個不幸的人帶來了快樂。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，父親有時會要冰激凌吃。這天晚上父親有不吃了。當他路過那位婦女的病房時，他被詢問冰激凌的事，后來專門買給她；通過談話才知道她的情況。 她身患癌癥，又沒人照顧。所以選C。

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

考點：社會類短文閱讀。
