Two men, both seriously ill, were in the same hospital room. One man was allowed to _ 16 _ up in his bed for an hour each afternoon. His bed was _ 17 _ the room’s only window. The other man on the other side of the room had to _ 18 _ all his time lying on his back in bed. Every afternoon when the man by the window could sit up he _ 19 _ pass the time by describing to his _ 20 all the things he could see outside the window. “The window overlooks a _ 21 _ with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans play on the water _22_ children sail their model boats. Young lovers walk _ 23 _ among flowers of every colour. Grand old trees grace(装扮) the landscape, and a fine _ 24 _ of the city skyline can be seen in the distance.” As the man by the window _ 25 _ all this in detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and _ 26 _ the scene. Days and weeks passed. On morning, the day nurse came only to find the man by the window had died _ 27 _ in his sleep. When the man’s body was _ 28 _, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the _29 _. The nurse agreed and after making sure he was _ 30 _, she left. Slowly and painfully, the man raised himself _31 _ to take his first look at the _ 32 _ world outside by himself. But to his _ 33 _, he found it faced nothing _ 34 _ a blank wall. In fact, the man by the window was _ 35 _ and could not even see the wall. He just wanted to encourage his roommate. 小题1: A．wake B．climb C．sit D．stand 小题2: A．well above B．just over C．far from D．next to 小题3: A．spend B．lose C．waste D．save 小题4: A．could B．would C．might D．should 小题5: A．doctor B．nurse C．friend D．roommate 小题6: A．wall B．street C．fence D．park 小题7: A．when B．while C．since D．though 小题8: A．step by step B．arm in arm C．face to face D．one by one 小题9: A．view B．sign C．symbol D．mark 小题10: A．explained B．described C．watched D．heard 小题11: A．think B．expect C．imagine D．guess 小题12: A．peacefully B．bravely C．helplessly D．sadly 小题13: A．put away B．taken away C．picked up D．caught up 小题14: A．wall B．park C．lake D．window 小题15: A．dead B．amazed C．comfortable D．encouraged 小题16: A．planning B．trying C．refusing D．wishing 小题17: A．previous B．embarrassing C．beautiful D．favorite 小题18: A．horror B．delight C．surprise D．sadness 小题19: A．like B．as C．but D．and 小题20: A．dead B．deaf C．pitiful D．blind
