Question

Nick was not the kind of boy I had expected to spend my summer with. I was hoping to     have a   21   the summer before my busy senior year, but my mother asked me to do her a   22  . One of her colleagues needed a full-time   23  . “You planned to volunteer at the local hospital, why not volunteer to   24   Nick instead?” Then she told me that this six-year-old boy was not a   25   child.

Nick was a lovely little boy who suffered from many disorders. Normal day-care centres would not   26   him. As a baby, he had serious ear infections which left him with equilibrium (平衡) problems. He couldn’t   27   or run properly. I was hesitating (猶豫)   28   I was to take the job when my mother   29  , “Don’t you want to be a nurse in the future? I doubt if you even have the   30  .”

Then I told her I was   31   for the job.

The day started at 7:00 a.m. Nick was my wake-up call! With so much energy and very little   32  , he was quite a mix.

In the park, when he saw all the other children play on the jungle gym and swings (秋千)， the boy’s face   33   up — how he wished he belonged to the group of his age! You would think it would be   34   to get a child to go down a slide (滑梯). Believe me, it wasn’t! It took time, a lot of time. But with patience and support, Nick took one step up the slide each day. We worked together to face his   35   and gradually he got closer to taking the slide of his life.

Halfway through the summer, he   36   it to the top of the slide. With my arms   37   him tightly, we flew down the slide! I waited for his reaction. After realizing that he was safe and sound, he gave me a big   38   and asked, “May I go down again, alone?” I had never been happier in my life when I saw this little child climb the ladder and enjoy what other children   39   for granted.  This   40   child taught me that being a nurse means respect, kindness and patience.

1.上下文，根據(jù)后文的before my busy senior year可知，作者想要在忙碌的日子到來前先放松一下。

2.上下文。固定短語，do sb a favour幫某人忙

3.上下文，根據(jù)后面的You planned to volunteer at the local hospital可知，母親的一個同事需要一個全職的護士。

4.上下文，因為是做一個護士，所以是要照顧nick。Attend sb 意為照顧某人

5.上下文，根據(jù)后文可知，nick與平常的孩子不一樣，所以此處指的是他不是一個正常的孩子。Normal意為正常的

6.句意理解，普通的護理中心不接受他。Accept 意為接受 receive收到 adopt收養(yǎng) admit成人，錄取

7.上下文，根據(jù)后面的run properly,可知此處指的是他不能很好地行走或者跑步。

8.句意理解，句意為，我在猶豫是否接受這份工作，

9.上下文，根據(jù)后面母親說的話I doubt if you even have the   30  可知，她是在挑戰(zhàn)，懷疑我。

10.句意理解，母親在說我懷疑你是否有這樣的勇氣。同29空相對應(yīng)。

11.句意理解，根據(jù)后文的內(nèi)容可知，作者接受了這份工作，所以此處她說我準(zhǔn)備好了接受這份工作了。

12.上下文，根據(jù)前文的As a baby, he had serious ear infections which left him with equilibrium (平衡) problems可知，他在平衡方面有問題。

13.常用搭配。Light up意為面部呈現(xiàn)高興的表情。此處意為，孩子的臉上立刻露出了喜悅的表情。

14.句意理解，根據(jù)后面的it wasn't，It took time, a lot of time可知，該句的意為是，你可能會認(rèn)為讓孩子去滑滑梯是很簡單的。

15.上下文，因為他沒有很好的平衡性，所以他在玩滑梯的時候會害怕，所以作者跟他一起面對滑梯時候的害怕。

16.句意理解，此處指的是他終于成功地爬到了滑梯的頂部，manage it=make it =succeed

17.句意理解，此處意為我的手臂緊緊地抱住他，我們一起滑了下去。

18.語境，孩子高興的不得了，親了我一下

19.固定搭配，take sth for granted 認(rèn)為……是理所當(dāng)然的
