My dream career; one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day.Kindness saved me when I needed help the most.

In fact, she was carrying a painting of a plant she'd done when she arrived at her doctor's San Francisco office. "It would be great if we had artwork like that for our chemotherapy (化疗) rooms/' the nurse said. Ballard asked to see one.She was shocked by what she found. The walls were dull and bare, and the paint was chipping (剥落).It was a depressing room for a depressing routine-patients restricted to chemo drips for perhaps several hours, often with nothing to look at other than those sad walls. Ballard didn't have cancer herself, but she could sympathize with the patients. "I couldn't imagine how anyone could even think about getting healthy in a room like that," she says. As it happens, Ballard's physician, Stephen Hufford, was ill with cancer himself, so finding time to decorate the rooms was low on his to-do list. So Ballard made it her mission to brighten up the place.She started by e-mailing 20 local designers. "I wrote, 'You don't know me. But my heart hurts after seeing these rooms/' she remembers. She then asked whether they would donate their time and money to transform just one of Dr. Hufford's rooms each.As it happened, six of them wrote back almost immediately. Six rooms got new paint, light fixtures, artwork, and furniture. Dr. Hufford was delighted. "All the patients feel relieved of the pain because of it," he said. He even noted that his own tone of voice was different in the rooms and that he was better able to connect with his patients.Ballard was so encouraged by the patients' reactions that she created a nonprofit, Rooms That Rock 4 Chemo, to raise money and decorate more spaces. Since then, she has worked on 20 projects, including one in Pennsylvania. "We were in Philadelphia for a ribbon cutting, and a woman was there on her third battle with cancer," says Ballard. "When she saw what we'd done, she said, Tm gonna beat it this time. I thought I wasn't going to, but now I know I'm gonna beat it".(1) What made Ballard decide to help decorate the chemotherapy rooms?A. Her sympathy for cancer patients.B.

Decoration in Hospital【答案】(1)A(2) C(3) A(4) A【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文,Nancy Ballard出于对癌症病人的同情,决定帮忙装饰 化疗室。Ballard的努力,使得癌症患者重新对生活充满了希望。(1)考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"Ballard didn't have cancer herself, but she could sympathize with the patients/'Ballard本人并没有患癌症,但她同情病人。由此可知,Ballard 对癌症病人的同情,使她决定帮忙装饰化疗室,故选A。(2 )考查细节理解。根据第四段中的,“All the patients feel relieved of the pain because of it/ he said.他说:“所有的病人都因此感到疼痛减轻了。”由此可知,Ballard的努力使得癌症患 者感觉好多了,故选C。(3)考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"Ballard was so encouraged by the patients' reactions that she created a nonprofit, Rooms That Rock 4 Chemo, to raise money and decorate more spaces.”病人的反应让巴拉德深受鼓舞,她创建了一个非营利组织"Rooms that Rock Chemo" 来筹集资金,并装饰更多的空间。由此推断出,Nancy Ballard是一个有爱心,有奉献精神 的人,故选A。(4)考查主旨大意。本文介绍了 Nancy Ballard出于对癌症病人的同情,决定帮忙装饰化 疗室。Ballard的努力,使得癌症患者重新对生活充满了希望。所以这篇文章最好的题目是 “为希望而设计“,故选A。【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解.,推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查,是一篇故事类阅 读,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推 理,概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。9. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.After some blood tests, Dr Stubs stood before me, a tall man, but short on personality and sporting a cold expression. You have systemic lupus, he said matter-of-factly. "Lupus," he continued, "is an auto-immune disease and I remember certain details but mostly I remember him talking about children. "Children are no harm. But childbirth would jumpstart additional symptoms that could be life threatening. You already have two kids anyway."As I got up to leave, shaken and drained, he said his parting words, "I would discourage any further research. There is no cure and nothing can prevent its progression."Still, I did research lupus and its symptoms tiredness and joint pain-were both consistent with what I was experiencing. And eventually some major organs could be affected, causing shutdown and possibly death.I studied and found out that echinacea had a record in making immune system stronger. I decided that along with the plant I would strengthen my mindset by immersing myself in my family with my one-year-old son and three-year-old daughter.After another visit, I decided never to go back to Dr. Stubs. How could one endure repeatedly hear desperately words coming from an emotionless mouth even though they were truth? The years passed. When I would feel tired and achy I pulled support from my children and their laughter.Finally, after eight years, I went to Dr. Kirstein who was recommended by a friend. She stood there holding my hand and looking into my eyes warmly."So let's talk a littleInstantly my defenses were down. Before I knew it, she had me running on and on about my children, my husband, my life and dreams. I told her about all the meaningful activities I was involved in, those things I might have never done without the disease.After several follow-up tests, and greater research into my family history, Dr. Kirsteincame to conclusive answer. I did not have systemic lupus. There must be something wrong with the initial tests 8 years before.I didn't know whether I should jump for joy or scream because I had been living the last eight years in fear of a fatal disease. But then I realized that I had been living every day, not so much in feao but happiness Even day was a gift and I knew it.(1) Dr. Strubs warned the author against having more children because.A. The process of giving birth put her life in danger.B. Taking care of children will gradually worsen her disease.C. Her disease will threaten the health of her children.D. She already has enough children.(2) Why did the author stop seeing doctor Strubs after two visits?A. Because she not qualified to treat her disease.B. Because he recommended Dr. Kirkstein to her.C. Because his cold attitude upset the author.D. Because she suspected his diagnosis about her disease.(3) How did the author deal with the disease?A. She calmly waited for major organs to shut down.B. she took effective medicine regularly to fight the disease.C. She turned to Dr. Kirstein to get cure for the diseaseD. She tried to strengthen immune system and drew strength from family.(4) Why did the author think every day in the past 8 years was a gift?A. Because systemic lupus was no longer a deadly disease.B. Because she made every day valuable in spite of diseaseC. Because she received a gift every day from her familyD. Because she only occasionally felt pain and tiredness.【答案】(1) A(2) C(3) D(4) B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者虽然在过去的八年被认为是有疾病,但是她使 每一天都过的有意义。(1)考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"I remember certain details but mostly I remember him talking about children/Children are no harm.
