選編（十九）
A Strange Greeting, a True Feeling Last week I was invited to a doctor’s meeting at the Ruth hospital for incurables. In one of the wards a patient, an old man, got up shakily from his bed and moved towards me. I could see that he hadn't long to   1  , but he came up to me and placed his right foot close mine on the floor.

My   4  raced back more than thirty years to the   5   days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The   6  was an air-raid shelter, in which I and about hundred other people slept every night. Two of the regulars were Mrs. West and her son Frank.

His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had   11   of a mind than a baby has. His “  12 ” consisted of rough sounds——sounds of pleasure or anger and   13  more. Mrs. West, then about 75, was a strong, capable woman, as she had to be, of course, because Frank   14   on her entirely. He needed all the   15  of a baby.

When that sort of thing happened, the rest of us helped the   17  ones. So before we   18   that morning, I stood beside Frank and   19  my right foot against his. They were about the same size.

解析1. C 上文的“incurables"表明這位老人是不治之癥患者，存活的時(shí)間不會(huì)太長(zhǎng)。
2. A 我叫他名字, 他不會(huì)回答。
3. D 由下文暗示可知，37歲的Frank不如一個(gè)嬰兒的智力。他不能用語(yǔ)言回答別人的問(wèn)話，但內(nèi)心有一定的反應(yīng)，因此一見(jiàn)到我便將右腳靠著我的右腳以示問(wèn)候。
4. B  Frank的這一舉動(dòng)使我的記憶一下子回到了30年前。
5. B 下文交待30年前作者的生活，二戰(zhàn)期間他只能住在防空洞中，生活很苦，只能用“dark”來(lái)形容當(dāng)年的歲月。
6. D 作者回憶30年前的生活，頭腦中出現(xiàn)了防空洞的情景。
7. C
8. D 在戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)問(wèn)題上由于擁有共同的話題，我們這些防空洞居住者逐漸了解了對(duì)方。
9. C
10.  A 一個(gè)37歲的人智力卻不正常，這一現(xiàn)象逐漸吸引了我的注意。
11. D 盡管Frank已經(jīng)37歲，但智力還不如一個(gè)嬰兒。
12. B
13. B 他的講話僅體現(xiàn)了內(nèi)心的快樂(lè)和憤怒，沒(méi)有更多實(shí)在的內(nèi)容。
14. D
15. A  West夫人不得不強(qiáng)壯而又有能力，因?yàn)镕rank完全依靠于她，他需要嬰兒似的全部照料。
16.  A 她幾乎失去了一切。
17.  B  West夫人遭受這么大的損失，大家盡力幫助這不幸的一家人。
18.  A 
19.  D
20.  B 那天早上臨走前，我站在Frank身邊，將我的右腳靠著Frank 的右腳以便量出他腳的大小，目的是為他買(mǎi)一雙鞋子。Frank將我的這一動(dòng)作看成是問(wèn)候的表現(xiàn)，從此他就用這一動(dòng)作來(lái)問(wèn)候我，這就有了本文開(kāi)頭的那種情景。
