Question

【題目】 We could all say that we have bad days as we go through life, but what does it take to have a rally good day?

I remember a day recently when I had to go to the hospital for special _______ because I wasn't feeling well and my doctor sent me to a specialist to try and find the cause of my illness.

As I _______ to the hospital, I was feeling sad and certainly wasn't on top of my game. As I got to the hospital, I began my _______ for a parking lot. I finally found one not too far from the entrance to the hospital.

As I got out and brought my change out of my pocket, I noticed a man looking a little _______ standing in front of a parking meter（停車記時收費表）two cars away. He seemed to be searching his pockets for what I supposed were _______ for the meter.

Although I _______ didn't feel that great, I thought that I should at least go over to him and find out if I could _______ him. As I stood beside him, he turned to me, looking anxious. I asked him if he had a problem I could help with. He said that he had no changes at all because he was only thinking about visiting his sick wife when he left his house.

I reached into my pocket and _______ out two dollars and gave it to him without saying a word. And, without waiting for a reply, I turned on my heel and said to him as I was walking away: “Have a good day.”

The funny thing was that I felt a lot brighter. A small smile came to my face, and I seemed to walk just a little quicker. I was walking away when he called out: “Thank you so much.” You know, I didn't even _______ him to say anything. He didn't have to say a word to me. It was simply enough to know that I had helped someone else who needed a __________. That's all it took to bring a smile to my face as I went on toward completing my own business.

You know, it doesn't take much to help someone else.

【解析】

這篇短文主要講述了作者在去看病的途中幫助了一位男士的故事，幫助別人并不會花費我們太多東西，因而我們不要吝嗇，多去幫助需要幫助的人。

【1】句意：我記著最近的一天，當我不得不去醫(yī)院進行特殊的檢測，因為我感覺不是很好，我的醫(yī)生把我送到一個專家那里試著找出我的病因。

tests檢測；actions行動；care關(guān)心；comfort舒適。此句是一個原因狀語從句，根據(jù)“because I wasn't feeling well and my doctor sent me to a specialist to try and find the cause of my illness.”可知我去醫(yī)院的目的是找出病因，因此需要做一些檢測。故選A。

【2】句意：當我開車去醫(yī)院的時候，我感到悲傷，當然超出我的控制。

walked走；ran跑；rode路；drove開車。根據(jù)a parking lot“一個停車場”可知作者是開車去的。故選D。

【3】句意：我開始搜尋一個停車區(qū)。

search搜尋；plan計劃；travel旅行；design設計。根據(jù)賓語a parking lot可知，此處表示找停車場，因此這里是說“搜尋”的意思。故選A。

【4】句意：我注意到一個男人看起來有點擔心的站在停車記時收費表的前面。

tired累人的；worried擔心的；relaxed放松的；bored無聊的。根據(jù)下文“As I stood beside him, he turned to me, looking anxious.”“我走到他旁邊，他看向我，看起來很焦慮”，可推測這位男子現(xiàn)在應該是焦慮、擔心的。故選B。

【5】句意：他好像在口袋里搜尋，我認為是為收費表準備的硬幣。

tools工具；keys鑰匙；coins硬幣；cards卡片。根據(jù)“As I got out and brought my change out of my pocket…”作者的行為可知，作者到停車場后準備零錢，給停車付費，因此可推測這個男子也是在找錢，“硬幣”符合題意。故選C。

【6】句意：盡管我真的沒有感到偉大……

probably可能地；suddenly突然地；finally最后；really真地。此空為副詞修飾動詞，此處作者想表達自己并沒有覺得自己的行為偉大，really符合句意。故選D。

【7】句意：……我認為我應該至少走向他，找到是否我可以幫助他。

help幫助；understand理解；follow跟隨；join加入。根據(jù)下文“I asked him if he had a problem I could help with.”“我問他是否他有困難我能幫助的”可知作者是想去幫助這個男子。故選A。

【8】句意：我放進兜里，拿出2美元，沒有說話把它給了他。

pushed推；made制作；pulled拖拉；sent送。根據(jù)“…gave it to him…”可知我從兜里拿出2美元給他。短語pull out表示“拿出”。故選C。

【9】句意：你知道，我甚至沒有期待他說什么。

mean意義；expect期待；make制作；save節(jié)省。根據(jù)“He didn't have to say a word to me.”可知作者認為他沒有必要說什么，因此可推測作者本沒有期待他說什么。短語expect sb. to do sth.表示“期待某人做某事”。故選B。

【10】句意：僅僅知道我?guī)椭�了需要幫助的某個人就足夠了。

courage鼓勵；patience耐心；hand幫助；guide引導。who引導的定語從句，先行詞為someone，這里指代的是需要幫助的人，need a hand表示“需要幫助”，此處hand表示名詞“幫助”。故選C。
