I was born in Thailand, where I feel at home. I am used to jumping on to a song taow (red taxi), and squeezing (挤过) in between two strangers. I am used to bargaining at the market to get a shirt that I like. I love telling bilingual (双语的) jokes and I am used to the surprised looks I get from the Thais when I can speak their language fluently.
Every two years my family goes to America for the summer, and every two years my world is turned upside down. The prices of everything are three times what they were in Thailand, but there is the sweet drink Dr. Pepper! And Bluebell Ice-cream! And everything you could imagine! I am amazed at it all, but the biggest change for me is the people. There are white people everywhere. I am not tall but average (中等的), my yellow hair is no longer out of place, and speaking English no longer draws looks. I should feel comfortable. I’m not out of place anymore, and nobody is looking at me, but I feel like they are. Now I feel out of place and different. I’m not used to giving people handshakes and hugs when I meet them for the first time. I get looks when I have trouble figuring out how much money to pay. I know different music, different places, and different fashion. I can’t understand these people who have never left their town or city.
Still, there are quite a few perks about living overseas. I get to meet people from all over the world, and I know how to adjust to (适应) different cultures and places. I have been to places most people see only in geography books. Still, being so different makes it hard to know who you are. I’m not Thai, but I am not American either. I am a mix of both cultures, a third culture kid.
4. When the Thais give the author surprised looks, she feels _____.
A. upset B. strange
C. normal D. different
5. When the author returns to America, _____.
A. she makes more friends
B. she becomes more polite
C. she can’t find what she needs
D. she is like a fish out of water
6. The underlined word “perks” in the last paragraph can be replaced by _____.
A. reasons B. problems
C. advantages D. suggestions
7. In this text, the author mainly wants to describe _____.
A. her different lifestyles
B. a kind of culture shock
C. a feeling of loneliness
D. her ability to face difficulties
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【详解】试题分析：本文是一篇记叙文。长期生活在泰国的美国女孩描述了她回到美国后所经历的文化冲击。
【小题1】C 推理判断题。根据第一段的“in Thailand, where I feel at home.”和“I am used to the surprised looks I get from the Thais...”可知，在泰国长大的作者习惯了这里的一切，泰国人听到她说流利的泰语时所表现出的吃惊反而让她觉得很正常。故选C。
【小题2】D 细节理解题。根据第二段作者描述她回到美国后的各种不习惯可知，回到美国的她就想离开水的鱼一样不适应那里的生活。故选D。
【小题3】C 词义猜测题。根据划线此后所说的“I get to meet people from all over the world, and I know how to adjust to (适应) different cultures and places. ”（我认识了来自世界各地的人，我知道如何适应不同的文化和地方）可知，这是旅居海外的益处，故此处perks有“好处、优势”之意，故选C。
【小题4】B 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，作者在本文描述了她在泰国和美国生活的不同感受，而这种对不同文化的不适应是由“文化冲击”所带来的。故选B。
【名师点拨】
猜词悟义。任何一篇文章中的句子在内容上都不是绝对孤立的，都跟句子所在的段落及整整篇文章有关。利用上下文提供的情景和线索，进行合乎逻辑的综合分析进而推测词义，最常见的就是利用上下文语境、常识和语法关系推断词义。①抓住所需推断词汇前后的“mean”或系动词或破折号等直接定义该词的部分。
②抓住文章主旨与该段所表达的中心。特别对于议论文要牢记论点与论据的相互支撑关系。③通过例证、比喻、对照、插入语等语法结构推断词义。34.【小题3】C词义猜测题。根据划线此后所说的“人是来自世界各地的人、知道如何适应不同文化、去过别人只在地理课本上见到的地方”等可知，这些都是旅居海外的益处，故此处perks有“好处、优势”之意，故选C。
考点：考查记叙文阅读
C
With the development of the economy, loose change (零钱) is often ignored by most of us. We have forgotten how those little, round metal pieces can add up. However, if you were a kid that had to clean the house for extra money, you’ll understand how important it is.
When I was a kid, I knew my parents could afford whatever I wanted, but Dad made me work for things that were “wants”. I knew Dad always carried a lot of change in his pockets. He had taught me that enough pennies would still get me what I wanted in the end.
Dad had his favorite reclining chair (躺椅) in his room where he would go after a long day at work. When he reclined in the chair, the change would fall from his pockets onto the floor under the chair, which was really a good chance for me to collect pennies. I’m sure he realized he had empty pockets when he took his clothes off, but he never said anything and never stopped sitting in the chair.
My kids learned early that change worked just as well as dollars and they also knew their dad saw no value in change. In fact, he saw it as a pain-in-the-neck so instead of asking him for money, they always asked if they could have his change.
Whenever I see a penny on a floor, I always pick it up. They’ve come in handy over the years, like at the check stand when someone needs a penny to check out, or my children are twelve cents short of their bus fare — little things, but important things.
8. Why is loose change ignored at present according to the author
A. Because people’s lives have improved a lot.
B. Because loose change is often noisy.
C. Because loose change isn’t easy to carry.
D. Because people find it is of no use.
9. Why did the author’s father ask her to work for her own “wants”
A. To help her earn a lot of money.
B. To tell her that pennies add up.
C. To save enough money for future use.
D. To let her know it was hard to earn money.
10. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that the author’s father _____.
A. didn’t care about loose change B. taught the author a good lesson
C. was really a hard-working person D. was too tired to look after his child
11. The underlined word “pain-in-the-neck” means that the author’s husband _____.
A. was really rich B. was very generous
C. had a problem with his neck D. paid little attention to change
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己经历向我们描述了人们忽略了零钱，然而很多的零钱叠加起来也可以买任何想要的。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“With the development of the economy，loose change （零钱） is often ignored by most of us．We have forgotten how those little，round metal pieces can add up(随着经济的发展，零钱经常被我们大多数人忽视。我们已经忘记了这些小小的圆形金属碎片是如何堆积起来的)”可知，人们忽略零钱是因为经济发展，人们的生活有了很大的提高，不拿硬币当回事儿。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When I was a kid, I knew my parents could afford whatever I wanted, but Dad made me work for things that were “wants”. I knew Dad always carried a lot of change in his pockets．He had taught me that enough pennies （便士） would still get me what I wanted in the end(当我还是个孩子的时候，我知道我的父母能负担得起我想要的任何东西，但爸爸却让我为那些“想要”的东西工作。我知道爸爸的口袋里总是带着很多零钱。他告诉我，足够多的硬币最终还是会让我得到我想要的)”可知，作者父亲让作者干活是为了教会他很多的零钱叠加起来也可以买任何他想要的东西。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“When he reclined in the chair, the change would fall from his pockets onto the floor under the chair, which was really a good chance for me to collect pennies.I'm sure he realized he had empty pockets when he took his clothes off，but he never said anything and never stopped sitting in the chair(当他斜靠在椅子上时，零钱就会从他的口袋里掉到椅子下面的地板上，这对我来说真是一个收集硬币的好机会。我肯定他脱衣服的时候发现口袋是空的，但他什么也没说，一直坐在椅子上)可知，父亲给作者上了很好的一课，让他学会了积攒零钱，重视零钱的积少成多。故选B项。
【11题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章“My kids learned early that change worked just as well as dollars and they also knew their dad saw no value in change. …so instead of asking him for money，they always asked if they could have his change(我的孩子们很早就知道，零钱和大面值的钱一样有用，他们也知道他们的父亲看不到零钱的价值。…，所以他们不向他要钱，而是总是问他能不能给他们硬币)可知，孩子们知道他们的父亲不重视零钱的价值，所以他们不向他要多的钱，而是要零钱，他们的父亲可能会很痛快的给他们零钱，可知他不在意零钱。故选D项。
D
My brother Stanley died last January from cancer, and I spent a lot of time with him in hospital over his last few months. I witnessed the care he received and, at the time, I thought it was poor. It shocked and hurt me.
While Stanley was sick, I was a medical student. I therefore put a lot of time and energy in the medical profession. It gave me an insider’s view of the care Stanley received, when most people spending time with a very sick loved one only have an outside view. However, as I see now it made me judge the care that his doctors and nurses gave him too harshly (严厉的).
We experienced long waits in emergency departments, and doctors were unsure of the details of Stanley’s case. We waited around for doctors to arrive, but they seldom turned up. But worst of all was Stanley’s senior doctor. Near the end, he announced coldly that there was nothing left to try. “All the choices have been used,” he said. And with that, he left, never to be seen again.
All this affected the way I thought about my studies. Did I want to work in a field where people treated patients as if they were numbers on a chart After Stanley died, I finished my studies and graduated with all the rest of students in my year. They went on to get jobs in hospitals, while I took a year out. I simply couldn’t face working in medicine.
Finally, I applied for and got a position as a cancer doctor in a busy clinic in a big city. Now I was a cancer doctor myself, and I often had to tell patients bad news. It is a terribly difficult thing to inform someone that they have a serious illness. I also found that I couldn’t always answer patients’ questions. They would want to know whether they could be cured, or how long they would live, but it wasn’t always possible to say.
It was then that I understood what difficult job health providers do. It made me think back to my experiences with doctors and nurses when Stanley was sick. Perhaps what I had thought was unprofessionalism (不专业) or coldness was just a reflection of the demanding nature of the work.
I began to see my patients as Stanley, and myself no longer as his sister, but one of his caregivers.
Now I was in their shoes—the people who spend every day caring for others.
I still miss Stanley horribly, but at least now the anger has gone.
12. Why did the author feel upset in hospital
A. Because it was too late to cure her brother.
B. Because the treatment was too painful for the author to bear.
C. Because she couldn’t help the doctors with her medical knowledge.
D. Because the care given to her brother was far below her expectations.
13. The author changed her opinion after she_______.
A. suffered a serious illness
B. met Stanley’s doctors again
C. communicated with her classmates
D. experienced caring for cancer patients directly
14. What did the author do after he brother died
A. She put in efforts to save patients.
B. She gave up her study in medicine.
C She applied for a job in a big city immediately.
D. She took a year out and then got a job in a clinic.
15. The author wrote this passage in order to______.
A. give advice on how to be a professional doctor
B. explain how her attitude to being a caregiver changed
C. tell the young people the importance of being a doctor
D. share how she became a doctor after her brother’s death
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在医院感到心烦，因为医院对患癌症的哥哥的照顾远远低于她的期望。作者在经历了直接照顾癌症患者后对医疗工作者很失望。作者在他哥哥死后她休学了一年，然后在一家诊所找到了一份为癌症患者治疗的工作，对医生和护士的工作有了新的理解。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第一段中“I witnessed the care he received and, at the time, I thought it was poor. It shocked and hurt me.(我目睹了他得到的照顾，当时我认为这很糟糕。那使我很震惊也很受伤)”可知，作者在医院感到心烦了，因为医院对哥哥的照顾远远低于她的期望，认为医院工作人员对哥哥照顾得不好。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Now I was a cancer doctor myself, and I often had to tell patients bad news. (现在我自己也是一名癌症医生，我经常不得不告诉病人坏消息)”和第六段“It was then that I understood what difficult job health providers do. It made me think back to my experiences with doctors and nurses when Stanley was sick. Perhaps what I had thought was unprofessionalism or coldness was just a reflection of the demanding nature of the work.(就在那时，我明白了医疗服务提供者所做的困难工作。这让我回想起斯坦利生病时与医生和护士相处的经历。也许我所认为的不专业或冷漠只是工作要求苛刻的反映)”可知，作者以前认为医生对癌症患者的工作并不专业且冷漠，但在经历了直接照顾癌症患者后改变了自己对医学工作的看法，认识到了自己所认为的不专业或冷漠只是工作要求苛刻的反映。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“They went on to get jobs in hospitals, while I took a year out. I simply couldn’t face working in medicine. (他们继续在医院找工作，而我则休假一年。我简直无法面对从事医学工作)”和第五段中“Finally, I applied for and got a position as a cancer doctor in a busy clinic in a big city. Now I was a cancer doctor myself, and I often had to tell patients bad news. (最后，我申请了一个大城市一家繁忙诊所的癌症医生职位。现在我自己也是一名癌症医生，我经常不得不告诉病人坏消息)”可知，作者在他哥哥死后她休学了一年，然后在一家诊所找到了一份工作。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“Perhaps what I had thought was unprofessionalism or coldness was just a reflection of the demanding nature of the work.(也许我之前认为的不专业或冷漠只是工作要求苛刻的一种反映)”和第七段“I began to see my patients as Stanley, and myself no longer as his sister, but one of his caregivers.(我开始把我的病人看做斯坦利，不再把我自己作为他的妹妹，而是他的照顾者之一)”可知，作者以前认为医生对癌症患者的工作并不专业且冷漠，但在经历了直接照顾癌症患者后改变了自己对医学工作的看法，作者写这篇文章的目的是为了解释她对待医疗工作者的态度是如何改变的。故选B项。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕“打扰”这一话题展开论述。由于在工作中被打扰是一件令人感觉很糟糕的事，因此作者提出了几点建议，防止此类事件的发生。
【16题详解】
根据上文Interruptions (打扰) are one of the worst things to deal with while you’re trying to get work done.(当你试图完成工作时，打断是最糟糕的事情之一)及下文there are several ways to handle things.(有几种处理事情的方法)可知，此句与前半句构成一个完整的句子。B. When you want to avoid interruptions at work(当你想要避免工作被打扰的时候)符合语境。故选B。
【17题详解】
根据下文Tell the person you’re sorry and explain that you have a million things to do and then ask if the two of you can talk at a different time.(告诉对方你很抱歉，并解释你有很多事情要做，然后问他们是否可以在不同的时间交谈)可知，这一段主要是讲述学会在自己很忙的时候去拒绝别人。A. If you’re busy, don’t feel bad about saying no(如果你很忙，不要因为说“不”而感到不好意思)符合语境。故选A。
【18题详解】
根据上文When people try to interrupt you, have set hours planned and let them know to come back during that time or that you’ll find them then.(当人们试图打扰你的时候，给他们设定好时间计划，让他们知道在这段时间内回来或者你会找到他们)及下文It can help to eliminate (消除) future interruptions.(这样做可以帮助你消除未来被打断的可能)可知，此处衔接上下文，E. It’s important that you let them know when you’ll be available(让他们知道你什么时候有空是很重要的)符合语境。故选E。
【19题详解】
根据上文When you need to talk to someone, don’t do it in your own office.(当你需要和别人交谈时，不要在你自己的办公室里)及下文it’s much easier to excuse yourself to get back to your work than if you try to get someone out of your space even after explaining how busy you are.(找借口回去工作要比在解释完自己有多忙后还试图让别人离开你的空间要容易得多)可知， it指代前文don’t do it in your own office. D. If you’re in the other person’s office or in a public area(如果你在别人的办公室或公共场所)能够后半句构成一个完整的句子。故选D。
【20题详解】
根据上文If you have a door to your office, make good use of it.(如果你的办公室有一扇门，好好利用它)可知，此段主要是讲述关于如何利用自己办公室的门来防止被打扰。G. Leave it open when you’re available to talk and close it when you’re not(当你有空的时候让它开着，不方便的时候就把它关上)符合语境。故选G。
【点睛】本文中的第2小题属于七选五阅读中最常见的设空在段首的方法，通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容，根据段落一致性原则，查找同义词或其他相关的词，推断出主题句。本题根据下文Tell the person you’re sorry and explain that you have a million things to do and then ask if the two of you can talk at a different time.(告诉对方你很抱歉，并解释你有很多事情要做，然后问他们是否可以在不同的时间交谈)可知，这一段主要是讲述学会在自己很忙的时候去拒绝别人。A. If you’re busy, don’t feel bad about saying no(如果你很忙，不要因为说“不”而感到不好意思)符合语境。故选A。
当七选五阅读设空在句首时，还可能存在以下两种情况：
1. 属于段落间的过渡句。这时要前瞻后望找启示，即阅读上一段结尾部分，通常正确答案与上一段结尾有机地衔接起来，并结合下一段内容，看所选的答案是否将两段内容连贯起来。
2. 与后文是并列、转折、因果关系等。着重阅读后文第一两句，锁定线索信号词，然后在选项中查找相关特征词。通常正确答案的最后一句与空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的，因此这两句间会有某种的衔接手段，尤其当选项是几句话时。比如，如果选项中出现时间年代时，往往要注意与原文中年代的前后对应关系。
第三部分:语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)
第一节(共20小题:每小题1.5分，满分30分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了越来越多的高中生在网上开自己的微博和开微博带来的好处。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意：所有这些都使它在高中生中很受欢迎。然而，许多家长和老师持有不同的观点。根据句意可知，设空处上下句之间为转折关系且空后面没有逗号，应用连词but，句首单词首字母大写。故填But。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：他们认为管理自己的微博会花费大量的时间和精力，这些都应该用来学习。设空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词time and energy，关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导该定语从句。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：在我看来，我非常赞成这项活动。设空处在句中作状语修饰谓语动词，应用副词形式。故填greatly。
【44题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意：今天，互联网在我们的生活中扮演着重要的角色。play a role in为固定短语，意为“在……中扮演角色”，又因important是以元音音素开头的词，前面应用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：我们需要学会利用这个有价值的工具进行交流。根据句意可知，提示词作定语修饰名词tool，应用其同根形容词valuable，意为“有价值的”。故填valuable。
【46题详解】
考查名词。句意：更重要是，打开和组织微博需要各种能力，如写作，设计，熟练使用电脑等。设空处前为形容词，形容词修饰名词，设空处应用名词的形式，根据空前的various（各种各样的），可知设空处应为名词的复数形式。故填abilities。
【47题详解】
考查介词。句意：因此，我们在组织微博的同时提高了自己。固定短语as a result意为“结果”，句首单词首字母大写。故填As。
【48题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意：因此，我们在组织微博的同时提高了自己。此处是while引导的时间状语从句，原句为“while we are organizing our micro blogs”，从句中省略了与主句相同的主语we和be动词are，保留现在分词organizing。故填organizing。
【49题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：其实，微博本身就没什么害处。此处指“微博本身”，所以用反身代词itself作主语micro blog的同位语。故填itself。
【50题详解】
考查强调句型。句意：重要的是你对它的态度。分析句子可知，句中使用了强调句型“It is/was+被强调部分+that……”；此处强调句子主语your attitude，句子其它部分由that引出。故填that。

Dear Andrew,
I’d like to invite you take part in the Christmas party in the dining hall. It was the celebration for the Christmas Eve. But you are welcome to make the short speech. After that we will enjoy us. Then we will have a candle light dinner, which are our favorite part. Finally, members of the English club will exchange gift. I am sure it will be a warmly get-together. I would appreciate it if you could join us. The party will start at 6 pm and we’ll meet you at the school gate at 5:50 pm on this evening. We look forward to receive your earliest reply.
【答案】
【解析】
【分析】本文属于邀请信，邀请Andrew参加派对。
【详解】第一处：考查不定式。分析句子可知，本句为invite的用法invite sb to do sth邀请某人做某事，故在take前加to。
第二处：考查动词时态。分析句子可知，本句陈述一个事实，故用一般现在时，故把was改为is。
第三处：考查连词。分析句子可知，前后句属于承接关系，故用and连接，故把But改为And。
第四处：考查冠词。分析句子可知，speech为可数名词，第一次提及，故用不定冠词，故把the改为a。
第五处：考查反身代词。分析句子可知，本句为短语enjoy oneself，故把us改为ourselves。
第六处：考查主谓一致。分析句子可知，which are our favorite part为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词a candle night dinner，先行词为单数名词，故which指代单数名词，故谓语动词应用单数形式，故把are改为is。
第七处：考查名词。分析句子可知，exchange gifts交换礼物，需用复数名词，故把gift改为gifts。
第八处：考查形容词。修饰名词get-together用形容词，故把warmly改为warm。
第九处：考查介词。分析句子可知，this evening由于有this限定，故直接做时间状语，无需介词，故去掉on。
第十处：考查非谓语动词。本句为look forward to doing sth 期待做某事，故把receive改为receiving。

I was born in Thailand, where I feel at home. I am used to jumping on to a song taow (red taxi), and squeezing (挤过) in between two strangers. I am used to bargaining at the market to get a shirt that I like. I love telling bilingual (双语的) jokes and I am used to the surprised looks I get from the Thais when I can speak their language fluently.
Every two years my family goes to America for the summer, and every two years my world is turned upside down. The prices of everything are three times what they were in Thailand, but there is the sweet drink Dr. Pepper! And Bluebell Ice-cream! And everything you could imagine! I am amazed at it all, but the biggest change for me is the people. There are white people everywhere. I am not tall but average (中等的), my yellow hair is no longer out of place, and speaking English no longer draws looks. I should feel comfortable. I’m not out of place anymore, and nobody is looking at me, but I feel like they are. Now I feel out of place and different. I’m not used to giving people handshakes and hugs when I meet them for the first time. I get looks when I have trouble figuring out how much money to pay. I know different music, different places, and different fashion. I can’t understand these people who have never left their town or city.
Still, there are quite a few perks about living overseas. I get to meet people from all over the world, and I know how to adjust to (适应) different cultures and places. I have been to places most people see only in geography books. Still, being so different makes it hard to know who you are. I’m not Thai, but I am not American either. I am a mix of both cultures, a third culture kid.
4. When the Thais give the author surprised looks, she feels _____.
A. upset B. strange
C. normal D. different
5. When the author returns to America, _____.
A. she makes more friends
B. she becomes more polite
C. she can’t find what she needs
D. she is like a fish out of water
6. The underlined word “perks” in the last paragraph can be replaced by _____.
A. reasons B. problems
C. advantages D. suggestions
7. In this text, the author mainly wants to describe _____.
A. her different lifestyles
B. a kind of culture shock
C. a feeling of loneliness
D. her ability to face difficulties
C
With the development of the economy, loose change (零钱) is often ignored by most of us. We have forgotten how those little, round metal pieces can add up. However, if you were a kid that had to clean the house for extra money, you’ll understand how important it is.
When I was a kid, I knew my parents could afford whatever I wanted, but Dad made me work for things that were “wants”. I knew Dad always carried a lot of change in his pockets. He had taught me that enough pennies would still get me what I wanted in the end.
Dad had his favorite reclining chair (躺椅) in his room where he would go after a long day at work. When he reclined in the chair, the change would fall from his pockets onto the floor under the chair, which was really a good chance for me to collect pennies. I’m sure he realized he had empty pockets when he took his clothes off, but he never said anything and never stopped sitting in the chair.
My kids learned early that change worked just as well as dollars and they also knew their dad saw no value in change. In fact, he saw it as a pain-in-the-neck so instead of asking him for money, they always asked if they could have his change.
Whenever I see a penny on a floor, I always pick it up. They’ve come in handy over the years, like at the check stand when someone needs a penny to check out, or my children are twelve cents short of their bus fare — little things, but important things.
8. Why is loose change ignored at present according to the author
A. Because people’s lives have improved a lot.
B. Because loose change is often noisy.
C. Because loose change isn’t easy to carry.
D. Because people find it is of no use.
9 Why did the author’s father ask her to work for her own “wants”
A. To help her earn a lot of money.
B. To tell her that pennies add up.
C. To save enough money for future use.
D. To let her know it was hard to earn money.
10. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that the author’s father _____.
A. didn’t care about loose change B. taught the author a good lesson
C. was really a hard-working person D. was too tired to look after his child
11. The underlined word “pain-in-the-neck” means that the author’s husband _____.
A. was really rich B. was very generous
C. had a problem with his neck D. paid little attention to change
D
My brother Stanley died last January from cancer, and I spent a lot of time with him in hospital over his last few months. I witnessed the care he received and, at the time, I thought it was poor. It shocked and hurt me.
While Stanley was sick, I was a medical student. I therefore put a lot of time and energy in the medical profession. It gave me an insider’s view of the care Stanley received, when most people spending time with a very sick loved one only have an outside view. However, as I see now it made me judge the care that his doctors and nurses gave him too harshly (严厉的).
We experienced long waits in emergency departments, and doctors were unsure of the details of Stanley’s case. We waited around for doctors to arrive, but they seldom turned up. But worst of all was Stanley’s senior doctor. Near the end, he announced coldly that there was nothing left to try. “All the choices have been used,” he said. And with that, he left, never to be seen again.
All this affected the way I thought about my studies. Did I want to work in a field where people treated patients as if they were numbers on a chart After Stanley died, I finished my studies and graduated with all the rest of students in my year. They went on to get jobs in hospitals, while I took a year out. I simply couldn’t face working in medicine.
Finally, I applied for and got a position as a cancer doctor in a busy clinic in a big city. Now I was a cancer doctor myself, and I often had to tell patients bad news. It is a terribly difficult thing to inform someone that they have a serious illness. I also found that I couldn’t always answer patients’ questions. They would want to know whether they could be cured, or how long they would live, but it wasn’t always possible to say.
It was then that I understood what difficult job health providers do. It made me think back to my experiences with doctors and nurses when Stanley was sick. Perhaps what I had thought was unprofessionalism (不专业) or coldness was just a reflection of the demanding nature of the work.
I began to see my patients as Stanley, and myself no longer as his sister, but one of his caregivers.
Now I was in their shoes—the people who spend every day caring for others.
I still miss Stanley horribly, but at least now the anger has gone.
12. Why did the author feel upset in hospital
A. Because it was too late to cure her brother.
B. Because the treatment was too painful for the author to bear.
C. Because she couldn’t help the doctors with her medical knowledge.
D. Because the care given to her brother was far below her expectations.
13. The author changed her opinion after she_______.
A. suffered a serious illness
B. met Stanley’s doctors again
C. communicated with her classmates
D. experienced caring for cancer patients directly
14. What did the author do after he brother died
A. She put in efforts to save patients.
B. She gave up her study in medicine.
C. She applied for a job in a big city immediately.
D. She took a year out and then got a job in a clinic.
15. The author wrote this passage in order to______.
A. give advice on how to be a professional doctor
B. explain how her attitude to being a caregiver changed
C. tell the young people the importance of being a doctor
D. share how she became a doctor after her brother’s death
