Ⅱ.阅读理解 Five years ago, I took a career risk by leaving my job to work on a ship. My medical friends did their best to persuade me, saying that running away to sea would ruin my career. But after these years working as a junior, I was willing to take the risk.
Hungry for adventure, I boarded a ship in Singapore with 2,000 passengers and crew. To my relief, the hospital was well equipped, with an X-ray machine and a blood analyser. That first voyage was a learning experience, a tight schedule full of safety drills. There was so much new information to take in. Even remembering which uniform to wear each day was a challenge. Most confusingly, I often forgot to set my clock when the ship crossed time zones.
As a doctor, I was responsible for 600 crew, and I was on call for the entire ship. Far from treating seasickness and sunburn, I had to deal with other diseases, for my patients were wide and varied. The ship’s medical centre was actually a floating emergency room, and we didn’t have a team of specialists on hand for a second opinion. With long and unpredictable hours, it required mental toughness.
As you can guess, many of the passengers were elderly, heart attacks don’t care about geography and emergency evacuation(疏散) was difficult to arrange. I recall one such patient, who was taken off the ship halfway through the Panama Canal. After a terrifying ride in an old ambulance, I was relieved that the patient survived long enough to arrive at the hospital in Panama City.
Thankfully, there were several unexpected benefits to the job. I regularly enjoyed the passenger facilities and I even hosted my own table of passengers in the evenings. On rare days off, I volunteered as a tour guide on trips ashore. I got to fly over Alaska in a seaplane and watched a ballet in St. Petersburg.
Now, I understand being a ship doctor is not a job—it’s a way of life. One year at sea became two. I lost my career ambitions, but I redefined happiness in my life. (
)1.How did the writer feel working on the ship? A.Regretful. B.Satisfied. C.Scared. D.Nervous. (
)2.What was the writer’s most difficult thing on the ship? A.Wearing the same uniform each day. B.Absorbing plenty of new information. C.Having a tight timetable full of safety drills. D.Forgetting to adjust time by time zones. (
)3.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A.The patient suffered from an unknown disease. B.The patient was taken to a safe place immediately. C.The patient got timely treatment in the hospital. D.The patient died on the way to the nearest hospital.
(
)4.Why did the writer lose his career ambitions later on? A.He had a new understanding of happiness. B.He could enjoy the passenger facilities. C.He was content to be a tour guide on trips. D.He gave up the dream of being a doctor. Ⅲ.完形填空 My 83-year-old mother came to live with me a year ago last November. She was very ill and I had to put my life on hold to

2.D 细节理解题。根据第二段“Even remembering which uniform to wear each day was a challenge. Most confusingly, I often forgot to set my clock when the ship crossed time zones.”可知,最让“我”感到困惑的是当“我们”穿越时区的时候“我”常常忘记去调时钟。故选 D。

Ⅲ.【文章大意】
本文是记叙文。文章叙述了作者照顾病重的母亲的感受。在此期间,作者和母亲的关系变得更亲密。作者认为母女之间的爱才是最重要的。
1.C 母亲病得很重,为了照顾(care for)她,“我”不得不把“我”的生活放在一边。put up with 忍受;refer to 参考,涉及;take pride in 以……为自豪。
2.A 根据生活常识可知,此处指每天早上,“我”让她起床后,给她穿好衣服(dressed),给她做早餐,然后陪她坐着。
teach 教;evaluate 评估;demand 要求。
3.D 由“…when she felt sick…”可知作者的母亲病得很重,常常感到恶心,可能吃不下饭,作者就劝母亲吃点。故选 persuaded。warn 警告;force 强迫;permit 允许。
4.A 根据下文“The medical professional in me led me to examine her in…as if she were my patient.”可知,作为一名医生,作者想像对待其他患者一样冷静地对待母亲,但作者作为女儿,又无法完全做到如此,所以作者觉得对她来说照顾病重的母亲尤其困难,故选 especially。naturally 自然地;proudly 自豪地;acceptably 可接受地。
