Question

We walked in 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 with 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 stopped 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 (視野) 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 (彎腰) politely to the nurse and said, “Thank you.”

Outside, Mum told me, “Dagmar is fine. No fever (發(fā)熱).”

“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：我們是如此靜悄悄地走著，以至于在桌子旁邊的護(hù)士都沒有抬頭看。媽媽指著一個門旁邊的大椅子，我知道她想要我坐下。媽媽脫掉她的帽子和外套讓我拿著。她悄悄地走到電梯的小房間里，拿出一個濕的拖把。媽媽以聰明的方式看到了達(dá)格瑪。

1. told me, “Dagmar is fine. No fever (發(fā)熱).” “You saw her, Mum?”句意：媽媽告訴我，“達(dá)格瑪是好的。沒有發(fā)燒�！� “你看見她了，媽媽？” 分析：明確暗示她們是來看一位病人的。故選C

2.達(dá)格瑪進(jìn)行了看望。還有護(hù)士說到不要工作很晚，因此明確這家醫(yī)院對看望的時間規(guī)定很嚴(yán)格。故選B

3. told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop worrying as well. 句意：我告訴她關(guān)于醫(yī)院的規(guī)則，她不會期望我們等到明天。爸爸也不會再擔(dān)心。分析：作者和媽媽來看這個人，同時爸爸也不會擔(dān)心了。明確這個人是作者的姐妹。故選A

4.
