Question

Joan worked in a hospital as a nurse. One evening there was a big dance at the hospital. Most of the doctors and nurses would be there, but of course somebody had to be left to look after the sick children, and Joan was not of the lucky ones. She liked dancing very much, so when she had to start work that evening while her friends were getting ready to go to the dance, she felt very sorry for herself.
She went to each sick child one after another and said good-night, until she came to one little boy, Nick. He was eleven years old, but he was already able to talk like an adult. Poor Nick was badly ill, and now he was not able to move any part of his body except his hands. Joan knew he would never get any better, but he was always happy and always thinking about other people instead of about himself.
Nick knew that Joan loved dancing, so now when she came to say good-night to him, he greeted her with the words, “I’m very sorry that you have to miss the dance because of us. But we are going to have a party for you. If you look in my drawer, you’ll find a piece of cake. I saved it from my supper today, so it’s quite fresh. And there is also a dollar there, you can buy something to drink with that. And I’d get up and dance with you myself if I was able to.”
Suddenly the hospital dance seemed very far away and not at all important to Joan.

Answer 1

【小題1】D
【小題2】D
【小題3】B
【小題4】B
【小題5】B

解析試題分析：
【小題1】通過somebody had to be left to look after the sick children, and Joan was not of the lucky ones我們可知，Joan不能參加晚會，她將失去參加晚會的機會。所以本題選D。
【小題2】通過He was eleven years old, but he was already able to talk like an adult. Poor Nick was badly ill, 以及他與Joan的談話可知，前三個選項都是正確的，所以選D“以上全對”。
【小題3】通過always thinking about other people instead of about himself.和上下文可知，Nick之所以可愛，是因為他總是為別人著想。所以本題選B。
【小題4】A說他起來與她跳舞，只是他的愿望，是不可能實現的；文中說給她a dollar，讓她買喝的東西，也還沒有買；文中也沒有出現他丟失錢，故ACD是不對的，所以本題選B。
【小題5】.通過Suddenly the hospital dance seemed very far away and not at all important to Joan.“突然，醫院的舞會好像很遠，而且對Joan來說也不再重要。”可知，Joan最后感到很高興。所以本題選B.
考點：本題考查記敘文。
點評：本文講述了Joan是一名護士，不能參加醫院的舞會，需要留下照顧生病的兒童，被一個患者Nick感到的故事。在閱讀時，注意事情發展的變化，要理清Joan和Nick的角色關系，注意Nick的表現，特別是要讀懂他的話。在做題時，應該將題目與文章中的句子相互比較，并適當加以推測，從而選出適當的答案。
