Question

【題目】閱讀理解
Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital's emergency department. No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve, so the shift（輪班）went to me. I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital. It was a thankless job.
At 9 pm, the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack. His face was pale, and he was frightened. The whole night I did my best to save his life. Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family, I stopped by to see how he was doing. It was still tough, but he had survived the night and was sleeping.
The following year I got Christmas Eve duty again. At 9 pm sharp, the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me. When I approached them, the man introduced himself as Mr. Lee and said, “You probably don't remember me, but last Christmas Eve you saved my life. Thank you for the year you gave me.” He and his wife hugged me, handed me a small gift, and left.
The following year a new doctor had joined the group, but I wanted to see if Mr. and Mrs. Lee would return. This time, I volunteered for the shift. I kept an eye on the door. Once again, at exactly 9 pm, the Lees appeared, carrying a warmly wrapped bundle. It was their new grandchild. Mr. Lee, his family and I spent 13 Christmas Eves together.
The last year I saw him, he brought me a gift. I carefully opened the package and found a crystal bell inside. It was carved with a single word: Friendship. Now, my family, friends and I ring that bell every Christmas Eve at exactly 9 pm and offer our best wishes to the man who we won't forget.

【解析】本文講述的是幾年前作者剛搬到伍德蘭山在一家規(guī)模不大的急診室上班。那個圣誕夜的值班讓她終身難忘。

（1）A推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段的Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital's emergency department. No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve, so the shift (輪班) went to me.和第四段The following year a new doctor had joined the group, but I wanted to see if Mr. and Mrs. Lee would return. This time, I volunteered for the shift.可以推斷：大家都不想值的圣誕夜班總是落在新來的人身上。故選A。

（2）D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family, I stopped by to see how he was doing. It was still tough, but he had survived the night and was sleeping.可知，作者第二天離開醫(yī)院時，Mr. Lee并不太好，但馬上沒有生命危險。故選D。

（3）A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段… Friendship及Now, my family, friends and I ring that bell every Christmas Eve at exactly 9 pm and offer our best wishes to the man who we won't forget.可知作者每個圣誕夜敲響鐘聲是為了紀(jì)念Mr. Lee, 她的一位老朋友。故選A。

（4）D主旨大意題。文章主要介紹了作者在圣誕夜與Mr. Lee 的特殊約定。故選D。
