Question

閱讀理解 　　EVERYTHING has two sides．One side of SARS is already clear．It is a deadly disease, which causes fear．There were 2,601 cases(病例)recorded on the Chinese mainland on April 24, according to government report．115 people have died and numbers keep rising． 　　But, there is another side． 　　SARS is a reminder(提醒)of how fragile life can be．Suddenly, it’s not just the old people who are thinking about death．Everyone now realizes there might not always be a tomorrow． 　　Wang Xinying, a student in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province came into contact(接觸)with a suspected(疑似)SARS patient in mid-April．He was told to stay at home for at least two weeks．“Watching TV about more and more SARS patients dying, I never knew that death could be so close．Life is valuable(珍貴的)and I’m going to treasure(珍惜)every single day,” he said． 　　SARS teaches people to be grateful, both for their own lives and for others．Doctors and nurses, for example, have to spend all their time with infected(被感染的)patients．As a result, more than one fifth of SARS cases in China are medical workers． 　　Xu Bing, a student of Beijing No．5 Middle School wants to be a doctor in the future．“Although they certainly know the dangers, doctors and nurses kept working hard on saving people’s lives．I’m deeply moved by what they have done．I think they are real heroes．” he said． 　　SARS also teaches sympathy(同情)．The past few weeks have been terrible for Chinese people．But there are far worse things than SARS in this world, such as war, earthquakes and robberies．Think of the Iraqis, who have been living terrible lives for 20 years．Think of how the Americans felt on 9．11． 　　And finally, SARS offers the chances to grow．All different kinds of people and the governments are joining together to work in this difficult time．When this passes, China and its people will have learned great lessons． (1) What does “Everyone now realizes there might not always be a tomorrow” mean? It means life is easy to ________ and we must ________ our life． (2) How long was Wang Xinying told to stay at home? He was told to stay at home for about ________ a ________． (3) Why can medical workers be easily infected? Because they have to be with infected patients ________ and ________． (4) What do we learn in the difficult time? We learn nothing is difficult if we ________．

Answer 1

答案：1．lose,love/treasure;2．half,month;3．day,night;4．join/work,together;
解析：

(1)	短文第三自然段的意思是說，SARS的流行提醒人們：生命是脆弱的．突然間的死亡不只是老年人所面臨的．現(xiàn)在每個人都意識到明天不總是有的．也就是說，“生命是很容易失去的，我們大家都應(yīng)當熱愛(珍惜)生命．”
(2)	本小題所提的問題是“王信英被告知在家里呆大約多長時間？” “He was told to stay at home for at least two weeks．”一句中的“at least two weeks”(至少兩個星期)即是答案．但在解題時，要注意抓住兩個空格中間的冠詞a，從而可以聯(lián)想到由其構(gòu)成的時間狀語，否則就會不知所措．
(3)	根據(jù)“Doctors and nurses, for example, have to spend all their time with infected patients．”中的可以聯(lián)想到醫(yī)生和護士們?nèi)杖找挂沟?day and night)與SARS病人在一起．故可得答案．本題也應(yīng)從連詞“and”入手，聯(lián)系題中信息方能找出答案．
(4)	短文最后一段說，在SARS嚴重威脅人們生命健康的這一段時間里，不同國家的人和政府攜手合作，終于戰(zhàn)勝了SARS．文中的“All different kinds of people and the governments are joining together to work in this difficult time．”這句話對答案有暗示作用． 　　這是一篇以SARS為話題的閱讀材料．文章作者告訴我們：SARS這種致命的疾病讓人們清醒地認識到生命是多么的脆弱，每個人都要好好珍惜生命中的每一天．SARS給人們帶來的啟示是：我們大家要感謝那些置個人安危于不顧的醫(yī)務(wù)工作者；人人都應(yīng)當有點同情心；團結(jié)協(xié)作才能共度難關(guān)．
