- A. moved
- B. amused
- C. stressed
- D. heartbroken
答案：A
答案句：But after the operation, Susan burst into tears for a different reason: across the cut on their newborn son's back was a sweet winter scene, hand-drawn on his bandages(绷带). … “There were rolling hills of snow, a pine tree and a snowman with a hat and broom,” she recalled. “It was extremely touching and comforting to know that somebody had taken the time to do that for my family. It was a moment I'll never forget.”
参考译文：但手术后，苏珊因为另一个原因泪流满面：在他们新生儿子背部的伤口上，绷带上手绘着一幅温馨的冬日景象。… 她回忆道：“有连绵的雪山、一棵松树和一个戴着帽子拿着扫帚的雪人。知道有人花时间为我的家人做这件事，让我感到极其感动和安慰。这是我永远不会忘记的时刻。”
定位线索：题干“Susan burst into tears after her baby's operation”→答案句“Susan burst into tears for a different reason”；文中“extremely touching and comforting”对应选项A“moved”（感动的）。
解析：题干问苏珊术后大哭的原因，答案句明确指出她因看到绷带上的画而哭，并说她感到“extremely touching and comforting”，即“极其感动和安慰”，对应选项A“moved”。选项B“amused”（被逗乐）程度过轻，文中是感动而非好笑；选项C“stressed”（有压力）是手术前的感觉，不是术后；选项D“heartbroken”（心碎）与文中正面情感相反。
41. How did Parry get the idea of decorating children's bandages?
- A. He was motivated by his patients.
- B. He was inspired by his colleague.
- C. He was required to learn the skill during his internship.
- D. He was encouraged by Susan to show his genius for art.
答案：B
答案句：Susan soon learned the artist was her son's surgeon, Robert Parry, who discovered another way to use his hands in the mid-1980s during his internship(实习期)at a children's medical center, where he saw one of his colleagues cut out heart and shark shapes to decorate children's bandages. … “My first reaction was, 'What is he doing? Hey, that’s kind of neat,'” Parry recalled. “I especially liked the reactions of the parents and the patients when they saw his artwork. The smiles took everyone's attention from the surgery. Then I decided to follow suit.”
参考译文：苏珊很快得知这位艺术家是她儿子的外科医生罗伯特·帕里，他在20世纪80年代中期于一家儿童医疗中心实习时发现了另一种使用双手的方式，在那里他看到一位同事剪出心形和鲨鱼形状来装饰孩子们的绷带。… 帕里回忆道：“我的第一反应是，‘他在做什么？嘿，这挺不错的。’我特别喜欢父母和病人看到他的作品时的反应。笑容把每个人的注意力从手术上移开。然后我决定效仿。”
定位线索：题干“How did Parry get the idea”→答案句“he saw one of his colleagues cut out heart and shark shapes”；文中“decided to follow suit”对应选项B“He was inspired by his colleague”（受同事启发）。
解析：题干问帕里如何想到装饰绷带，答案句明确说他在实习时看到“one of his colleagues”这样做，并决定“follow suit”（效仿），即受同事启发，对应选项B。选项A“motivated by his patients”（被病人激励）是后来的事，不是最初灵感来源；选项C“required to learn”（被要求学习）文中无此信息；选项D“encouraged by Susan”（被苏珊鼓励）苏珊是多年后的受益者，与帕里最初灵感无关。
42. Parry's artworks during the last 30 years show that he ______.
- A. devoted himself more to art than to medicine
- B. knew more about his patients than their parents
- C. took into consideration the tastes of individual patients
- D. created a large number of works beyond his expectations
答案：C
答案句：Parry quickly graduated from his early hearts and sharks, and started to surprise families with drawings that captured young patients’ personalities. From Snoopy to Spider-Man and bears to butterflies, there isn't much he hasn't drawn. Most kids want superheroes, sports team logos or princesses, while babies often receive scenes with flowers, trees and sea creatures.
参考译文：帕里很快从早期的爱心和鲨鱼图案中毕业，开始用捕捉小病人个性的画作给家庭带来惊喜。从史努比到蜘蛛侠，从熊到蝴蝶，他几乎什么都画过。大多数孩子想要超级英雄、运动队标志或公主，而婴儿则经常收到花朵、树木和海洋生物的场景。
定位线索：题干“Parry's artworks during the last 30 years”→答案句“drawings that captured young patients’ personalities”；文中“Most kids want superheroes... while babies often receive scenes with flowers”对应选项C“took into consideration the tastes of individual patients”（考虑个别病人的喜好）。
解析：题干问帕里30年来的作品说明了什么，答案句指出他的画“captured young patients’ personalities”（捕捉病人个性），并举例不同年龄段孩子喜欢不同图案，说明他根据每个病人的喜好创作，对应选项C。选项A“devoted himself more to art than to medicine”（更投入艺术而非医学）文中无比较；选项B“knew more about his patients than their parents”（比父母更了解病人）过度推断；选项D“created a large number of works beyond his expectations”（超出预期的作品数量）文中只提到数量多，未说超出预期。

解析：题干问帕里希望通过作品达到什么目的，答案句明确说“help them smile and laugh”（帮助他们微笑和欢笑），即提振精神，对应选项D。选项A“get a reward from the artistic circle”（获得艺术界奖励）文中无此信息；选项B“win the admiration of his colleagues”（赢得同事钦佩）文中未提；选项C“make a difference in his dull medical career”（让枯燥的医学生涯有所不同）文中说“make a difference in a child's life”，是孩子的生活而非自己的职业生涯，且未说医学职业枯燥。
