It was Sunday. I had one last patient to see. I 21 her room in a hurry and stood at the doorway. She was an older woman, sitting at the edge of the bed, 22 to put socks on her swollen feet. I crossed the threshold(门槛), spoke 23 to the nurse, and scanned her chart noting she was in stable condition. I was almost in the clear.

I leaned on the bedrail looking 24 at her. She asked if I could help put on her socks.

25 , I began a monologue that went something like this: “How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high but they’re 26 today. The nurse mentioned you’re anxious to see your 27 who’s visiting you today. It’s nice to have a family visit from far away. I bet you really look forward to seeing him.”

Each story is 28 . Some are detailed; others are vague. Some have a beginning, middle and end. Others wander without a clear 29 . Some are true; others not. Yet all those things do not really 30 . What matters to the storyteller is that the story is 31 —without interruption, assumption or judgment.

Listening to someone’s story costs 32 than expensive diagnostic testing but is key to healing and diagnosis.

I often thought of 33 the woman taught me, and I reminded myself of the 34 of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. And, not long after, in an unexpected 35 , I became the patient, with a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis(诊断为多发性硬化症)at age 31. Now, 20 years later, I sit all the time —in a wheelchair.

For 36 I could, I continued to see patients from my chair, but I had to resign when my hands were 37 . I still teach medical students and other health care professionals, but now from the perspective of 38 and patient.

第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题； 每小题2分，满分50分）

第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。

A

Jennifer Lynn is turning into a master storyteller. She writes about young adults brilliantly. However, I have got to say Stay With Me wasn’t my favorite in this series, but I still really enjoyed it and I would absolutely recommend it to fans interested in the world of young adults.

Stay With Me is the third book in Jennifer’s Wait For You series, which features a couple that have been in previous books but have their own unique story and can be read as a standalone. I like that about this series. It’s nice to be able to pick up a book and read it, finish it and move on to the next, but the Wait For You series has the added bonus of a more deeper character connection, as they’ve appeared previously, you have more of a feel for them and you look forward to their story.

Stay With Me is Calla and Jax’s story. Calla has a wreck(严重受损的人) of a mother, but she is finally coming to the end of college and is looking forward to a career in nursing. She has done pretty well up for herself and now it was her time to shine. Unluckily, it falls through when her mother robbed her of every penny and took her identity. Calla has to go back to her small home town and into the arms of Jax.

Jax is handsome and cheerful! He is a waiter in a bar and knows Calla’s mother very well and he agrees to help Calla. He is true alpha, with a sweet side and is very protective of Calla. I loved him, but not as much as Cam, sorry Jax! And that’s why Stay with Me isn’t as good as Cam’s book, Wait for You. Don’t get me wrong. Jax is an incredibly great character, well fleshed out and I did care for him, but he just wasn’t as lovely as Cam.

As for Calla, I liked her character, and I liked the connection between her and Jax. I loved how he came out of his shell and showed her to love herself, despite her unsatisfactory past. There are a lot of intense moments between these two characters and they are so well written. Jennifer’s writing is addictive and she wrote the scenes between Jax and Calla beautifully. Calla has never been, what she would call boyfriend material, and so she struggles to see what Jax sees in her and she bats him off and ignores it. There’s a lot of push and pull between them, and it’s very charming. At times I did get a little annoyed with Calla, especially with her insecurity but Jax soon made up for that!

Overall I really enjoyed Stay with Me. Anyway, they are a wonderful pair together. Despite all the troubles that Calla was going through, their relationship seemed more realistic and was made to last.

41．Who would like to read Stay with me most?

A. Adults. B. Young adults.

C. Fans of young adults. D. Parents.

42．The author shows a preference for Calla by ________.

A. analyzing some plots from the book B. comparing her with Jax

C. stating what Jax did to her D. presenting her sad past

43．The underlined expression “came out of his shell” probably means ________.

A. fell in love with others B. expressed his ideas

C. left his home town D. overcame the difficulties

44．The author’s overall attitude towards Stay With Me is ________.

A. Unclear B. Negative C. Indifferent D. Positive

45．What style does the passage belong to?

A. An essay. B. A novel. C. A review. D. A debate.
