掃清困惑

The nurse had him take a(36)seat in the waiting area,(37)telling him it would be at least 40 minutes(38)before someone would be able to see him.

困惑：易錯題（36題）

分析：本題易錯選項是D項，屬于“詞匯理解有誤”的錯誤類型。C項seat和D項break與前面的take a搭配后意思分別是“坐下來”和“休息一下”，同學(xué)們會發(fā)現(xiàn)兩者意思差不多，因為“坐下來”實際上也可以理解為“休息”。但作為完形填空的兩個選項，我們需要找出差異點，而這個差異點就體現(xiàn)在詞匯的內(nèi)涵上。take a break的英文釋義是stop doing sth.（停止做某事），它的選擇前提是“一個人之前一直在做某事，現(xiàn)在需要停下來休息一下”，但通過文章我們會發(fā)現(xiàn)這個老人并沒有“一直在做某事”，又何來“停下來做某事”呢？因此，D項錯誤。而C項的前提就很簡單了，那就是“這個人現(xiàn)在站著”。從原文可以看出，老人來到醫(yī)院跟護士說自己趕來看醫(yī)生，所以此時老人一定是“站著的”，又因為他需要至少等40分鐘才能看病，所以護士讓他“坐下來”也就合情合理了，因此C項正確。

He replied that she(46)no longer knew who he was, that she had not been able to(47)recognize him for five years now. I was(48)surprised, and asked him, “And you(49)still go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?”

困惑：易錯題（48題）

分析：本題易錯選項是A項，屬于“忽略上下文提示”的錯誤類型。選A項moved（感動的）的同學(xué)通常看到此處已經(jīng)入戲太深，從而感受到了老人對妻子深刻的愛意，于是自然而然地選擇了“感動的”?？雌饋硭坪鹾锨楹侠?，但是請注意，題目中在說“作者本人”的感受，而不是“你”的感受，所以千萬不能由著自己的感受來做題。當(dāng)然，完形填空不會讓你猜作者的心思，所以一定會給提示，往后看同學(xué)們就會發(fā)現(xiàn)，作者問了一個問題——“就這樣你仍然每天早上都去，即使她不知道你是誰？”。從still和even though這兩個詞可以看得出來作者對于這位老人的所作所為是詫異的，甚至是不理解的，因此C項正確。

全文翻譯

一個忙碌的早晨，大概8:30，一位80多歲的老先生來到醫(yī)院。我聽到他對護士說他要趕去一個9:30的約會。

那名護士讓他在等待區(qū)（36）坐一下，（37）告訴他至少要（38）過40分鐘才會有人來給他診查。我看到他（39）看了一下表，我決定，因為我（40）不忙——我的病人沒有在我們約定的時間（41）出現(xiàn)——我要去檢查他的傷口。在處理他的傷口的時候，我問他是不是和另一個醫(yī)生有約。

這位先生說沒有。他告訴我他（42）需要去療養(yǎng)院和他的（43）妻子吃早飯。他告訴我她已經(jīng)（44）在那有一段時間了，她得了一種奇怪的病。我問他她會不會（45）擔(dān)心，如果他晚到一點的話。他回答說她（46）不再知道他是誰了，她已經(jīng)5年沒（47）認出他了。我很（48）驚訝，問他：“就這樣你（49）仍然每天早上都去，即使她不知道你是誰？”

他微笑著說：“她不認識我，但是我認識她啊。”在他走后我忍住了（50）淚水。

現(xiàn)在我（51）意識到，在婚姻中，真愛是（52）接受所有這一切。最幸福的人并不是（53）必須擁有最好的，他們只充分（54）利用他們擁有的每樣?xùn)|西。（55）生活不是關(guān)于如何度過暴風(fēng)雨，而是關(guān)于如何在雨中翩翩起舞。
