Question

I once had a friend that was diagnosed with terminal cancer（晚期癌癥）, and the news that he might only live up to six months was a great shock to him, his family, and his friends．However, in spite of the serious illness, he was initially determined to look into all available treatments that might cure or extend his life．I think that when you find yourself in such situations, you tend to look up every possible way for hope of saving your life．

As months went on and his health grew worse, I noticed an unexpected change in attitude that came over him．He had also been a happy person with a cheerful personality, but rather than give in to discouragement and self-pity, he took comfort in God and humanity（人性）．His talks focused on others rather than himself, and he spoke of the afterlife as something he was prepared for, believing that his concerned ancestors, including his mother and father, were there waiting for him．

During the last few months, weeks, and days of his life, he was kindly cared for by family, friends, his loving wife, who looked after both his physical and emotional needs, and workers from a local hospice （安養(yǎng)院） came to the home to regulate（調(diào)節(jié)） his medication （藥）and provide any other needed support．He didn't complain about his fate, and he willingly allowed others to serve him．

Indeed, one might think why God allows death and suffering in our world, but for me, such experiences taught me to value family more and kindness for others．You often can't learn these important attributes（屬性）in the lap of luxury（處在優(yōu)裕舒適的環(huán)境中）, and perhaps, such an experience is the greatest and final gift the illness can give those left behind．

1.Which word can best describe the man's initial（最初的） reaction as soon as he was diagnosed with cancer?

2.What did the man do after he first learned of his illness?

A．He was operated on immediately．

B．He researched cancer treatments．

C．He retired from his job

D．He felt sad, doing nothing．

3.What was the man's main source of comfort after several months with the disease? 

A．His family and friends．                  B．The care from others

C．His doctors’ encouragement．           D．His belief in humanity．

4.What did the author learn from his friend’s story?

A．Getting comfort from God．

試題分析：本文講述的是作者的一個患有晚期癌癥的朋友，在生命的最后幾個月里，他的人生態(tài)度發(fā)生了改變，變得樂觀開朗，作者從中學(xué)到了要更加重視家庭、朋友。友善待人，而這些在優(yōu)越舒服的環(huán)境中是無法學(xué)到的。

1.細節(jié)題。由第一段第一句I once had a friend that was diagnosed with terminal cancer（晚期癌癥）, and the news that he might only live up to six months was a great shock to him, his family, and his friends．作者曾經(jīng)有一個朋友被診斷為晚期癌癥，只剩下六個月的時間了，這個消息給了他、他的家庭還有他的朋友很大的震驚�？芍�，當(dāng)一個人得知自己被診斷為癌癥時，應(yīng)該特別的驚訝。故選C

2.細節(jié)題。由第一段第二句However, in spite of the serious illness, he was initially determined to look into all available treatments that might cure or extend his life．然而，盡管并且很嚴重，他最初還是決定考慮所有能治愈或延長壽命的治療方法�？芍�，選B

3.細節(jié)題。由第二段可知，幾個月后，他的身體變得更差，作者注意到朋友的態(tài)度上發(fā)生了一個令人意想不到的改變，他變得開朗快樂，而不是氣餒和自憐，他從上帝和人性那里得到安慰�？芍�，選D

4.主旨題。由最后一段Indeed, one might think why God allows death and suffering in our world, but for me, such experiences taught me to value family more and kindness for others．事實上，你可能會想，為什么上帝允許死亡和痛苦來到我們的世界。但是，對于作者來說，這樣的經(jīng)歷讓他更重視家庭并且更加友善待人。故答案為D

考點：夾敘夾議

點評：文章層次鮮明，主旨明朗。作者從朋友的遭遇中學(xué)到了要重視家庭、朋友，把握這個主題那么題目就以這為出發(fā)點，去進行解答。對于夾敘夾議的文章，要特別注意議論部分，因為主題就在于此。本題中細節(jié)題偏多，對于此類題需要學(xué)生在文章找到相對應(yīng)的地方，在結(jié)合議論部分的主題，運用排除法進行解答，這樣往往可以收到奇效。
