ladys”可知，此處指“上了年紀(jì)的”。故選A項(xiàng)。3C從語境可知，此處指作者作為醫(yī)院的義工，通常幫助那些準(zhǔn)備離開的“病人”。故選C項(xiàng)。4B上文提到作者通常幫助那些準(zhǔn)備離開的病人。結(jié)合Instead“反而”可知，此處老人并不是準(zhǔn)備離開，而是想去禮品店。故選B項(xiàng)。5C從下文7空前的“As I pushed her around”可知，此處指“輪椅”。故選C項(xiàng)。6D前一句提到“當(dāng)我們到達(dá)禮品店時(shí)，商店還沒有開門”，可以推斷此處指30分鐘的“等待”。故選D項(xiàng)。7C從空后的“happy to be out of her room”可知，此處指“高興”。故選C項(xiàng)。8A上文提到“she looked at everything”，接下來應(yīng)是“選擇”。故選A項(xiàng)。9C結(jié)合語境可知，此處指老人要求作者推著她朝巧克力的方向走去。故選C項(xiàng)。10D根據(jù)空后的“all the different chocolate arrangements”可以推出，此處指作者幫老人“瀏覽”了所有不同的巧克力的布置。故選D項(xiàng)。11B在作者幫老人瀏覽完后，“最終”老人做出了決定。故選B項(xiàng)。12A上文提到老人購買了三種不同盒子的巧克力并讓作者在上面寫上數(shù)字。接下來是老人向作者解釋為何這樣做。故選A項(xiàng)。13D老人解釋說護(hù)士們?nèi)绱司牡卣疹櫵?，所以她為輪班的護(hù)士“買”了巧克力。故選D項(xiàng)。14C當(dāng)作者他們給當(dāng)前值班護(hù)士巧克力時(shí)，值班護(hù)士轉(zhuǎn)而給了作者一些。故選C項(xiàng)。15B從下文17空前的“who got so much joy from life”可知，此處指“微笑”。故選B項(xiàng)。16A結(jié)合上文老人的行為不難看出，老人是一個(gè)善良的人。故選A項(xiàng)。17C此處指作者的感慨：能和從生活中得到如此多快樂的人在一起本身就是一個(gè)“禮物”，和上文第一段的“It was a gift to.people”相呼應(yīng)。故選C項(xiàng)。18D此處指作者從做義工的經(jīng)歷中“學(xué)習(xí)”到，健康常常把人們聚集在一起。故選D項(xiàng)。19A上文中作者提到健康，接下來說，“健康”是福，符合語境。故選A項(xiàng)。20B此處指待在健康被如此“重視”的地方和其他事情不同，空處與空后的“appreciated”并列。故選B項(xiàng)。四、單句改錯(cuò)1I

until the sun goes down.分析：本句是一個(gè)復(fù)合句。we all make是定語從句，關(guān)系詞在從句中作賓語而省略，修飾先行詞mistake; where引導(dǎo)表語從句，在從句中作地點(diǎn)狀語；until引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句。譯文：然而，我們都犯的一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤是，我們坐下來，埋頭讀書，并且保持同一個(gè)姿勢直到太陽落山。1A該空承接上文中的“The exam period is always a stressful time and it does not do justice to our mindset(思維模式)and our physical body”并根據(jù)語境可推知，因?yàn)榭荚嚰镜膲毫Γ覀冊诟鱾€(gè)方面都深受其苦，所以選A項(xiàng)。2D根據(jù)上文中的“This will make it a lot less difficult to achieve glorious high marks”可推知，此處表示復(fù)習(xí)時(shí)間表的好處，并要起到承上啟下的作用，D項(xiàng)“它也能夠引導(dǎo)你朝正確的方向做出努力”符合語境，所以選D項(xiàng)。3G根據(jù)上文中的“Besides, you also enjoy the satisfaction you get as a result of pleting the most impossible timetable”可推知，要想完成最不可能完成的時(shí)間表上的任務(wù)，嚴(yán)格的期限和時(shí)間管理技巧是非常有必要的，所以選G項(xiàng)。4F根據(jù)下文中的“So it is fundamental that you choose to study in a quiet place，making sure that any disturbance is out of sight”可推知，獲得動(dòng)力很容易，但保持注意力集中卻很難，因此避免干擾，選擇一個(gè)安靜的環(huán)境是很關(guān)鍵的，所以選F項(xiàng)。5E根據(jù)下文中的“These breaks help to absorb what you have learnt and help avoid information overload”可推知，注意力集中的時(shí)間是有一定限度的，因此可以中間稍事休息一下，所以選E項(xiàng)。
