Question

Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her 3-year-old son, Michael, prepare for a new baby. They find out that the new baby is going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sings to his sister in Mommy's stomach.
In time, the labor pains come. But complications arise during delivery. Finally, Michael's little sister is born. But she is in serious condition. With alarm in the night, the ambulance rushes the infant to the neonatal intensive care unit at St. Mary's Hospital, Knoxville, Tennessee. The days go by. The little girl gets worse. The pediatric (兒科的) specialist tells the parents, “There is very little hope. Be prepared for the worst.”
Karen and her husband contact a local cemetery about a burial plot. They have fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby, but now they plan a funeral. Michael keeps begging his parents to let him see his sister, "I want to sing to her," he says. But kids are never allowed in Intensive Care. Karen makes up her mind. She will take Michael whether they like it or not. If he doesn’t see his sister now, he may never see her alive.
She dresses him in an oversized suit and marches him into ICU. He looks like a walking laundry basket, but the head nurse recognizes him as a child and shouts, "Get that kid out of here now. No children are allowed. Never disturb patients here.” The mother rises up strongly and said," He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!"
Karen leads Michael to his sister's bedside. He gazes at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. And he begins to sing. In the pure hearted voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sings:" You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray…" Instantly the baby girl responds. The pulse rate begins to calm down and becomes steady.
“Keep on singing, Michael.”encouraged Karen with tears in her eyes. "You never know, dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away."
The next day, the very next day, the little girl is well enough to go home! Woman's Day magazine called it "the miracle of a brother's song". The medical staff just called it a miracle. Karen called it a miracle of Gods love!
Never give up on the people you love.

解析試題分析：本文是一篇記敘文，記敘了一位母親懷孕以后讓她的兒子經(jīng)常給肚里的小妹妹唱歌，小女孩出生以后情況很不好，醫(yī)生都宣布小女孩病危了，但是小男孩堅持要給妹妹唱歌，結(jié)果出人意料，小女孩聽到歌聲竟然奇跡般地活了下來，是他哥哥的歌聲挽救了她的生命。
【小題1】A 猜測詞義題。根據(jù)前一句Finally, Michael's little sister is born. But she is in serious condition. With alarm in the night, the ambulance rushes the infant to the neonatal intensive care unit at St. Mary's Hospital可知是把嬰兒送進(jìn)了醫(yī)院的重癥監(jiān)護(hù)室。故A正確。
【小題2】D 推理題。構(gòu)成文章第二段The little girl gets worse. The pediatric (兒科的) specialist tells the parents, “There is very little hope. Be prepared for the worst.”說明這個小孩幸存的可能性很小，故D正確。
【小題3】C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第三段If he doesn’t see his sister now, he may never see her alive.說明C正確。
【小題4】C 推理題。醫(yī)院不允許小孩進(jìn)入重癥監(jiān)護(hù)室以防影響病人休息。所以護(hù)士不讓他進(jìn)去，說明護(hù)士負(fù)責(zé)任。故C正確。
【小題5】A 主旨大意題。這個故事講述的是小男孩用歌聲挽救生命垂危的妹妹的故事。故A正確。
