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

【小题1】D
【小题2】D
【小题3】B
【小题4】B
【小题5】B

解析试题分析：
【小题1】通过somebody had to be left to look after the sick children, and Joan was not of the lucky ones我们可知，Joan不能参加晚会，她将失去参加晚会的机会。所以本题选D。
【小题2】通过He was eleven years old, but he was already able to talk like an adult. Poor Nick was badly ill, 以及他与Joan的谈话可知，前三个选项都是正确的，所以选D“以上全对”。
【小题3】通过always thinking about other people instead of about himself.和上下文可知，Nick之所以可爱，是因为他总是为别人着想。所以本题选B。
【小题4】A说他起来与她跳舞，只是他的愿望，是不可能实现的；文中说给她a dollar，让她买喝的东西，也还没有买；文中也没有出现他丢失钱，故ACD是不对的，所以本题选B。
【小题5】.通过Suddenly the hospital dance seemed very far away and not at all important to Joan.“突然，医院的舞会好像很远，而且对Joan来说也不再重要。”可知，Joan最后感到很高兴。所以本题选B.
考点：本题考查记叙文。
点评：本文讲述了Joan是一名护士，不能参加医院的舞会，需要留下照顾生病的儿童，被一个患者Nick感到的故事。在阅读时，注意事情发展的变化，要理清Joan和Nick的角色关系，注意Nick的表现，特别是要读懂他的话。在做题时，应该将题目与文章中的句子相互比较，并适当加以推测，从而选出适当的答案。
