It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s came to the hospital. I heard him saying to the nurse that he was in a hurry for an appointment(约会) at 9:30.
The nurse had him take a 36 in the waiting area, _37 him it would be at least 40 minutes _38 someone would be able to see him. I saw him _39 his watch and decided, since I was _40 busy---my patient didn’t _41 at the appointed hour, I would examine his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor’s appointment.
The gentleman said no and told me that he _42 to go to the nursing home(敬老院) to eat breakfast with his 43 . He told me that she had been _44 for a while and that she had a special disease. I asked if she would be _45 if he was a bit late. He replied that she _46 knew who he was, that she had not been able to _47 him for five years now. I was _48 , and asked him, “And you _49 go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?”
He smiled and said, “She doesn’t know me, but I know who she is.” I had to hold back _ 50 as he left.
Now I _51 that in marriages, true love is _52 of all that is. The happiest people don’t _53 have the best of everything; they just _54 the best of everything they have. _65 isn’t about how to live through the storm, but how to dance in the rain.

网友回答
(答案→)C
解析：这篇文章讲述了一个老人照顾老伴的感人故事，告诉我们人生的真理：生活不是关于如何经历暴风雨，而是如何在雨中舞蹈。
【小题1】 seat关键名词就在后面 waiting room 。这个词break 有可能选，但是break之前一定要很紧张才行，这里老汉没有紧张。选C。
【小题2】护士对一个老汉能做的动作，最符合逻辑的是telling，告诉。 promising 表示许诺，有可能选，再看看宾语就可以排除，选D
【小题3】考查句型：It would be+一段时间+before…,要多长时间才…。选B。
【小题4】看动作的发出者，一个焦急的老汉会做的动作，肯定是look at 看手表这个选项。选C。
【小题5】从后面的句子：my patient didn’t _41 at the appointed hour,可知是选D
【小题6】词组，表示“出现”的意思。这里要注意破折号表示解释说明，我不是很忙，为啥呢？因为我的病人在appointed hour 里面没有出现。show off 是“炫耀”的意思，选A
【小题7】need但是和后面的动词结合起来看就不难解决。B forget叫做忘记，他忘记了回去吃饭这样的事情，不算一个appointment。C agree to do同意做某件事情，
【小题8】考查上下文串联：名词找重复，这里重复在后面，刚做到的时候放一放，第五段的第一句出现了marriage,表示他们俩曾经有一段婚姻，那么选老婆这个选项，选B。
【小题9】she had been there 表示的是她已经在那个nursing home 里面有一段时间了， A late 要迟到的是老头子，不是他老婆。 B well 她老婆身体很健康 C 老婆曾经在他身边。选D。
【小题10】worried在这里抓住了“等待”这一点，就可以排除其他几个负态度的词。选B。
【小题11】这道题需要结合后文，比较容易，49空那句话给出了很好的对应。neither 这个选项，表示否定两者。选C
【小题12】recognize之前见过，现在认不出来，选A。
【小题13】他的那个问句：你知道她不认识你，还是每天早上要去陪她？这句话显然不是一个正面态度的体现，而真正的态度转正的地方在倒数第二段，他忍住泪水，所以这里不能选moved这个表示正面态度的词语。选C
【小题14】考查副词：still表示状态的持续， B选项then 表示时间先后C选项thus 表示因果选D
【小题15】考查名词：关键在前面的动词hold back忍住 忍回去，忍回去的只有泪水。选B tear
【小题16】realize表示主观意识到，又是一再强调的常考词。试卷中同时出现realize 和recognize，并且在不同选项中还是第一次，选A
【小题17】和love 相关的名词只有expression 表达，选B
【小题18】necessarily意思是必要地，一个副词的解决去看动词，这句话的意思是最幸福的人并不一定是一个拥有所有最好东西的人。选A
【小题19】考查动词和名词的搭配，固定词组，make the best of 充分利用，就是说他们可以没有最好的东西，但是他们把他们所拥有的东西，发挥到了极致。C选项favor 不能选，因为表示的意思是偏好，A和B 你喜欢哪个，有比较的时候才用favor，在这里没有比较爱人认得你还是不认得你，所以不选。选B
【小题20】名词辨析。A冒险；B美丽；C信任；D生活。生活不是关于如何经历暴风雨，而是如何在雨中舞蹈。选D。
