13.A Special Appointment
Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital's emergency department.No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve,so the shift (轮班) went to me.I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital.It was a thankless job.
At 9pm,the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack.His face was pale,and he was frightened.The whole night I did my best to save his life.Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family,I stopped by to see how he was doing.It was still tough,but he had survived the night and was sleeping.
The following year I got Christmas Eve duty again.At 9pm sharp,the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me.When I approached them,the man introduced himself as Mr.Lee and said,"You probably don't remember me,but last Christmas Eve you saved my life.Thank you for the year you gave me."He and his wife hugged me,handed me a small gift,and left.
The following year a new doctor had joined the group,but I wanted to see if Mr.and Mrs.Lee would return.This time,I volunteered for the shift.I kept an eye on the door.Once again,at exactly 9pm,the Lees appeared,carrying a warmly wrapped bundle.It was their new grandchild.Mr.Lee,his family and I spent 13Christmas Eves together.In the later years the staff all knew about the story and would work to give me time with him in the break room,where we spent a half-hour each Christmas Eve.
The last year I saw him,he brought me a gift.I carefully opened the package and found a crystal (水晶) bell inside.It was engraved (镌刻) with a single word:Friendship.Now,my family,friends and I ring that bell every Christmas Eve at exactly 9pm and offer our best wishes to the man who we won't forget.

28.Working on Christmas Eve was considered"a thankless job"becauseD.
A.most patients were seriously ill
B.patients refused to express thanks
C.doctors had nothing to do on that day
D.doctors couldn't get praise for the hard job

分析 文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文.几年前作者刚搬到伍德兰山在一家规模不大的急诊室上班.那个圣诞夜的值班让她终身难忘.本来圣诞夜值班是没有人愿意去的,作者的经历让作者养成了一个习惯:每年圣诞夜都到医院去值班.

解答 28.D 推理判断题.根据第一段中的"No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve"可知,没有人想在圣诞夜工作,而作者作为新人只有勉强去值班,下文作者所遇到的经历正好跟人们通常想的不一样,作者得到病人及家属的赞扬,所以,人们认为在圣诞夜值班被认为是"得不到感谢的",是因为辛苦的工作得不到别人的赞扬.所以本题选择D.
29.A 细节理解题.根据文章第二段Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family,I stopped by to see how he was doing.It was still tough,but he had survived the night and was sleeping.可知,作者第二天离开医院时,Mr.Lee并不太好,仍然有危险.故选择A项.
30.C 推理判断题.根据文章最后三段的开头可知,经历了那一次圣诞夜值班,在之后的三年的圣诞夜,作者都会到医院值班,所以本题选择C.
31.C 细节理解题.根据文章最后一段…Friendship及Now,my family,friends and I ring that bell every Christmas Eve at exactly 9 pm and offer our best wishes to the man who we won't forget.可知作者每个圣诞夜敲响钟声是为了纪念Mr.Lee,她的一位老朋友.故选择C项.

点评 这是一篇记叙文,考生要先通读全文,了解大意,然后根据设问思考细节,即可选出正确选项.
