【解析】

主要敘述了一個女孩參加一個Deathbed Care的活動，目的是去照顧那些彌留時期的病人，這個女孩雖然家境很好，但是她為了完成老人的心愿假裝自己的家很貧窮，這位老人還想幫助女孩完成學(xué)業(yè)。

【1】句意：一個女孩成為臨終關(guān)懷活動的志愿者，這意味著探望和照顧瀕臨死亡的病人。

本題考查動詞。根據(jù)后文中“and taking care of a patient who was dying.”可知，女孩參加的活動應(yīng)該是關(guān)于照顧瀕臨死亡的人們。針對動詞的“先后性”的考查，此處應(yīng)填寫照顧之前發(fā)生的動作，A選項意為“拜訪”，B選項意為“教”，C選項意為“離開”，D選項意為“抓住”。因此，只有先去拜訪再照顧，確定選項A為正確答案。

【2】句意：所以她被期望安慰他，讓他振作起來。

本題考查名詞。根據(jù)前文可知，老人的情況不是很好，因此需要我來安慰。前文中出現(xiàn)“keep up”短語意為“保持，振作”，A選項意為“想法”，B選項意為“情感”，C選項意為“精神”，D選項意為“能力”。此處“keep up his spirit”意為“振作精神”，因此，確定選項C為正確答案。

【3】句意：這位老人開始積極參與到醫(yī)療中來，他很少對別人大喊大叫。

本題考查動詞。由前文可知老人之前的狀態(tài)并不好，根據(jù)“The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom ______ (33) at others.”可知在女孩來了之后老人情況轉(zhuǎn)好，因此此處應(yīng)填寫老人之前一種不好的行為。A選項意為“嘲笑”，B選項意為“對…喊叫”，C選項意為“微笑”，D選項意為“欺騙”。因此，確定選項B為正確答案。

【4】句意：醫(yī)生什么也沒做，因為他不想讓老人不高興。

本題考查形容詞。根據(jù)上下文，醫(yī)生應(yīng)該是不想讓老人不開心。A選項意為“不善良的”，B選項意為“寂靜的”，C選項意為“困的”，D選項意為“不開心的”。因此，確定選項D為正確答案。

【5】句意：當(dāng)他從最近一次昏迷中獲救時，老人告訴了醫(yī)生他的遺愿。

本題考查名詞。根據(jù)后文內(nèi)容“I have deep sympathy(同情) for the girl. Will you be kind enough to help her (36) her studies?”，可知這是老人最后的愿望。A選項意為“義務(wù)”，B選項意為“故事”，C選項意為“愿望”，D選項意為“回答”。因此，確定選項C為正確答案。

【6】句意：你好心幫她完成學(xué)業(yè)好嗎？

本題考查動詞。根據(jù)下文“but the doctor knew that…”的內(nèi)容，可見醫(yī)生不認(rèn)為這個女孩在上學(xué)方面有困難，也就可以推出文章中的老人的觀點是相反的。所以選A，幫助女孩完成學(xué)業(yè)應(yīng)該是老師的心愿。A選項意為“完成”，B選項意為“改善，提高”，C選項意為“選擇”，D選項意為“改變”。因此，確定選項A為正確答案。

【7】句意：有時她甚至開著她父親的車來醫(yī)院。

本題考查副詞。根據(jù)上文“but the doctor knew that her family…”可知醫(yī)生覺得女孩家境很不錯，有時候甚至她還乘坐父親的車來醫(yī)院。A選項意為“從不”，B選項意為“甚至”，C選項意為“依然”，D選項意為“僅僅”。根據(jù)題意很明顯B選項符合文章邏輯，所以選B。

【8】句意：她很傷心，淚水順著臉頰流了下來。

該題考查形容詞。根據(jù)下文的“tears ran down her face”可知女孩很傷心。A選項意為“傷心”，B選項意為“生氣”，C選項意為“高興”，D選項意為“緊張”。因此，確定選項A為正確答案。

【9】句意：他給了我錢，這樣我就可以繼續(xù)我的學(xué)業(yè)了。

該題考查動詞。由上文的“I came to do the job because I was poor. He gave me money so that I could…”可知女孩很窮，這個老人的錢幫助她繼續(xù)學(xué)業(yè)。A選項意為“阻止，預(yù)防”，B選項意為“檢查”，C選項意為“允許”，D選項意為“繼續(xù)”。因此，D是最符合題意的，所以D為正確答案。

【10】句意：在他生命的最后一段時期，這位老人發(fā)現(xiàn)能夠幫助一個非常需要的女孩是一種真正的快樂。

該題考查名詞。根據(jù)上文可知，由于女孩的到來給老人帶來了不少的快樂，所以這個老人在幫助女孩這件事情上找到了真正的樂趣。A選項意為“承諾”，B選項意為“快樂”，D選項意為“成功”，C選項意為“驚喜”，因此，確定選項B為正確答案。
