Question

We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn’t even lift her eyes from the book．Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down．While I watched mouth open in surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold．She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop（拖把）．She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, “Very dirty floors.” “Yes, I’m glad they’ve finally decided to clean them,” the nurse answered．She looked at Mum strangely and said, “But aren’t you working late?”

Mum just pushed harder, each swipe （拖一下） of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall．I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book．After a long time Mum came back．Her eyes were shining.

She quickly put the mop back and took my hand．As we turned to go out of the door, Mum bowed politely to the nurse and said, “Thank you.”

Outside, Mum told me “Grandma is fine．No fever.”

“You saw her, Mum?”

“Of course．I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow．Dad will stop worrying as well．It’s a fine hospital．But such floors! A mop is not good．You need a brush.”

【解析】

試題分析：文章講述了一個母親想去醫(yī)院看病人，可是醫(yī)院已經(jīng)過了接待家屬的時間，所以母親把衣服脫掉拿起拖把假裝自己是清潔工人而看到了病人的過程，最后母親還夸獎這個醫(yī)院非常好。

1. Mum told me “Grandma is fine．No fever.”“You saw her, Mum?可知Mum去看的是Grandma，所以可知去看的是病人。故選C。

2. 當(dāng)成了清潔工所以第一題選D。

3.

4. 歸納推理題。可用典型事例歸納加以解決，重溫一下第一小節(jié)，許多細(xì)節(jié)的敘述能給我們新的啟示。值班護(hù)士為什么見人連頭都不抬?Mum為什么一進(jìn)去就讓記者坐 在椅子上，自己卻脫下用衣帽，輕手輕腳進(jìn)入電梯房的工具間，拿出清掃工具拖地呢?認(rèn)真做一下因果關(guān)系分析，合乎邏輯的解釋是：探視病人的時間已經(jīng)過去，值班護(hù)士不再接待病人家屬，也不會再入任何探視者入內(nèi) ，Mum大概已經(jīng)碰到釘子，知道醫(yī)院規(guī)定嚴(yán)，無法通融，才會想出冒充清潔工入內(nèi)這一“滑頭”的主意 ，故選A。
