Question

Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes in contact with them. Their values—this can't be repeated too often—are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small worms (蠕蟲), and an old person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering (妨礙) with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.
Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car, it needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what point should you stop treating the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by pursuing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is designed to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there's life, there's hope.
When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.

試題分析：本文講述的是很多老人都希望自己不要過多受別人的管束，要給他們一定的自由。以及對(duì)一些社會(huì)工作者的一些觀點(diǎn)。
小題1:C 推理題。根據(jù)文章第一段前3行Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes in contact with them. Their values—this can't be repeated too often—are not necessarily our values可知老人們學(xué)會(huì)獨(dú)處，那樣更有自由，不受別人的管束。故C正確。
小題2:A 推理題。根據(jù)第一段后3行Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.可知social workers認(rèn)為健康和安全比自由更重要。故A正確。
小題3:B 推理題。根據(jù)第二段1,2行Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car, it needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older.把人比喻成車，越老越需要維修保養(yǎng)，故B正確。
小題4:C 推理題。根據(jù)第二段中間But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what point should you stop treating the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by pursuing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is designed to die?說明C項(xiàng)內(nèi)容也就是我們要嘗試所以的方法來保證老人是值得商榷的。故C正確。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文主要考查推理題。在解題時(shí)要立足已知，推斷未知。立足現(xiàn)在，猜測(cè)未來。不能主觀臆想，憑空想象，隨意揣測(cè)，更不能以自己的觀點(diǎn)代替作者的觀點(diǎn);要把握句、段之間的邏輯關(guān)系，了解語篇的結(jié)構(gòu)。要體會(huì)文章的基調(diào)，揣摸作者的態(tài)度，摸準(zhǔn)邏輯發(fā)展的方向，悟出作者的弦外之音。
