Question

【题目】

One pleasant evening, I was holding Grandpa’s hand and taking a walk in the park. “Where are the peanuts? Give me now!” He suddenly said. How I wished I had some with me! “William, the monkeys are taking long to come out today. Wait till they smell the peanuts.” I knew he was lost in one of his memories again. I remembered the stories he told me of how he fed the monkeys when he was a kid. Then, he saw the goldfish! He acted as if he was seeing them for the first time.

Poor Grandpa! He fell ill with Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症) last year. The doctor said it was a progressive brain disorder which could destroy ( 破 坏 ) a person’s memory. The patient might also not be able to make reasonable judgments (判断). The saddening part was that it was a lifelong disease. But when my parents invited him to stay with us, he refused and said he liked living alone. One day, he forgot to turn off the fire after cooking porridge. Luckily, one of the neighbors came to help him before the fire could spread.

It was then that my parents brought Grandpa to live with us. Often, he would forget my name and ask me who I was and what I was doing in his house. Each time I would answer softly, “It’s me, Ray, Grandpa!” Even if he had forgotten who I was, he would always be my beloved grandfather.

【解析】

本篇文章难度适中，主要讲述爷爷得了阿尔兹海默症和我们住在一起时我和爷爷之间的事情。

【1】细节理解题。根据William, the monkeys are taking long to come out today. Wait till they smell the peanuts可知，威廉姆，猴子今天花了很长时间才出来，等到他们闻到花生的味道，所以爷爷想在公园里喂猴子。故选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据The doctor said it was a progressive brain disorder which could destroy ( 破 坏 ) a person’s memory. The patient might also not be able to make reasonable judgments可知，医生说这是一种进步性的大脑紊乱，能够破坏一个人的记忆，患者也不能做出合理的判断。所以他不能正确地判断事情，故选C。

【3】细节理解题。根据One day, he forgot to turn off the fire after cooking porridge. Luckily, one of the neighbors came to help him before the fire could spread可知，一天，在煮完粥后他忘记关火，幸运地是，在大火蔓延前，一个邻居帮助了他。所以，邻居到他家帮他关了火。故选A。

【4】推理判断题。根据One day, he forgot to turn off the fire after cooking porridge. Luckily, one of the neighbors came to help him before the fire could spread可知，一天，在煮完粥后他忘记关火，幸运地是，在大火蔓延前，一个邻居帮助了他。所以，邻居到他家帮他关了火。所以作者的父母将爷爷带来和他们住在一起是为了确保他的安全，故选A。

【5】推理判断题。根据Often, he would forget my name and ask me who I was and what I was doing in his house. Each time I would answer softly, “It’s me, Ray, Grandpa!” Even if he had forgotten who I was, he would always be my beloved grandfather可知，他经常忘记我的名字并且问我是谁，为什么在他的家里，每次我都轻声地说“爷爷，是我，雷”。尽管他已经忘了我是谁，但是他永远都是我挚爱的爷爷，所以可以推断出我是体贴的，故选B。

细节理解题是考试时经常考查的一个题型。做细节理解题时，首先要先读题干，划题干中的关键词，再根据关键词定位至文中即可找到正确答案。例如第2题，题干关键词为according to the doctor定位至The doctor said it was a progressive brain disorder which could destroy ( 破 坏 ) a person’s memory. The patient might also not be able to make reasonable judgments可知，医生说这是一种进步性的大脑紊乱，能够破坏一个人的记忆，患者也不能做出合理的判断。所以他不能正确地判断事情，故选C。
