Question

【題目】 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 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 nodded 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 and the nurse had turned back to write 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 politely to the nurse and said, “Thank you.”

Outside, Mum told me, “Dagmar is fine. No fever.”

“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.”

本文是記敘文。講述了媽媽悄悄進(jìn)醫(yī)院，假裝清潔工拿拖把拖地，然后借此機(jī)會(huì)去看了Dagmar，得知她很好，才放心離開(kāi)的故事。

【1】推理判斷題。第三段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.描述了媽媽使勁拖地，離醫(yī)院大廳越來(lái)越遠(yuǎn)，最后從我和護(hù)士的視線(xiàn)消失。再結(jié)合文章最后三段的對(duì)話(huà)Outside, Mum told me, “Dagmar is fine. No fever.” “You saw her, Mum?” “Of course.”可知媽媽趁拖地之際，見(jiàn)到了Dagmar并得知她很好，沒(méi)發(fā)燒。由此推知媽媽拿拖把拖地的真正目的是為了見(jiàn)一位病人，故選C。

【2】推理判斷題。第一段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 nodded and said, “Very dirty floors.”描述了媽媽悄悄地走到電梯旁的小房間，拿出一把濕拖把。她把拖把推過(guò)桌子，然后對(duì)抬頭看的護(hù)士說(shuō):“地板很臟�！钡诙�段“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?”從護(hù)士說(shuō)的話(huà)“我很高興他們終于決定打掃了”“但是你不是要工作到很晚嗎?”可判斷護(hù)士以為媽媽是醫(yī)院的清潔工，故選D。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后三段媽媽說(shuō)的“Dagmar is fine. No fever.” I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop worrying as well. Dagmar她很好，沒(méi)發(fā)燒，明天才能見(jiàn)到作者和媽媽?zhuān)�有�?/span>Dagmar的消息爸爸不會(huì)再擔(dān)心了。通過(guò)幾個(gè)人的關(guān)系可推測(cè)Dagmar是作者的妹妹，故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。通過(guò)文中描述：媽媽悄悄進(jìn)醫(yī)院，假裝清潔工拿拖把拖地，慢慢從大廳消失，然后借此機(jī)會(huì)去看了Dagmar得知她沒(méi)事，才放心離開(kāi)�？赏浦獘寢屖锹斆鞯�，故選C。
