第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

第一节：（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Once there was a mental patient, he was thought to be a mushroom in his own world. So he squatted(蹲) in the corner of the room every day, holding an umbrella, neither eating, nor drinking, just like a real mushroom. A psychiatrist managed to do something for him.

One day, the psychiatrist held an umbrella, squatting by the patient's side. The patient was so curious and asked："Who are you?" The psychiatrist answered: "I am a mushroom, too." The patient nodded, continuing to be a mushroom. After a while, the psychiatrist walked and moved about in the room. Then, the patient asked him: "Aren’t you a mushroom? Why can you move about?" The psychiatrist answered："Of course a mushroom can." The patient thought it was right, so he walked and moved about.

After a while, the psychiatrist began to eat a hamburger, and the patient asked him：" Aren’t you a mushroom? Why can you eat?" The psychiatrist answered: "Of course a mushroom can." The patient thought it was right, so he did just as the psychiatrist did. Several weeks later, the patient could live like a normal person, although he still thought he was a mushroom.

A man could go on with his misery, rounding the sufferings in his heart, so it would not spread into the whole life and he would live as a normal happy man. When someone feels the grief overwhelmed(压倒) him, maybe too much comforts and indications are meaningless, all he wants is that someone would squat by his side and become a mushroom for him.

36. The patient squatted in the corner of the room every day because he ______.

A. was just like a real mushroom

B. liked neither eating nor drinking

C. had some mental problems

D. was treated by a psychiatrist

37. A psychiatrist is a person who ______.[来源:学科网]

A. accompanies mental patients

B. pretends to be a mushroom

C. valuable comforts

D. great encouragement
