【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：本文叙述了作者一次亲身经历，当作者是一名医生时，他问他的病人他能为她做些什么，她朝他笑笑说，只要听完她的故事就行了。而今作者也坐上轮椅，作者告诉他的学生，不要打断病人的倾诉，坐在床边听他们把话说完吧，因为这对病人的帮助胜过任何昂贵的药物。倾听是良药，它能治愈心灵的创伤。

1.我还有最后一个病人要看。look看；notice 注意；see看见。看医生或看病人常用动词see，故选C。

2.她是一个老女人，坐在床边，努力往她那肿胀的脚上穿袜子。put放，可与on搭配，表示穿戴的动作；wear穿，表示状态；dress给……穿衣，穿着，打扮，后面可跟人，不可跟服饰名词。根据后面的句子She asked if I could help put on her socks.可推知该选A。

3.短语及语境理解。句意：我相信你真的期待见到他。want to do sth想做某事； look forward to doing sth期待做某事；worry about为……担忧。根据前句The nurse told me that you're anxious to see your son who's visiting you today.可推知此句句意为我相信你真的期待见到他，所以选B。

4.她以严肃的声音阻止我。asked问；stopped停止；required要求。根据说话内容“Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not your story.”可知此处是说她以严肃的声音阻止我，所以选B。

5.形容词及语境理解。句意：我既感到惊讶又感到尴尬。embarrassed尴尬的；mad疯狂的；excited兴奋的。根据并列成分surprised 可知该选A。

6.连词及语境理解。句意：她告诉我，她唯一的儿子住在离她不远的地方，但是她已经有五年没见到他了。but 但是；so 所以；or或者。根据连词前后分句句意可知该选A。

7.。她认为她的健康问题恶化是因为想念她的儿子。Missing想念，错过；loving 爱；meeting遇见。根据前句she had not seen him in five years.可知该选A。

8.不定代词及语境理解。句意：听完她的故事并帮她穿上袜子后，我问是否有别的事我能为她做。 nothing没事；everything每件事；anything任何事。根据句意可知该选C。

9.她摇了摇她的头笑了笑。 shook摇动；dropped落下，下降；moved移动。根据后面的名词head 可知该选A。

10.她想要我做的是听。talk谈话；feel 感觉；listen听。根据下文In fact, the old feel lonely when they live alone. Sometimes they only need a listener.可推知此处该选C。
