试题详情及答案解析

We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn’t even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. Then, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop（拖把）. She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, “Very dirty floors.” “Yes, I’m glad they’ve finally decided to clean them,” the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, “But aren’t you working late?”
Mum just pushed harder, each swipe (拖一下) of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book. After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining.
She quickly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, Mum bowed politely to the nurse and said, “Thank you.”
Outside, Mum told me “Grandma is fine. No fever(发烧）.”
“You saw her, Mum?”
“Of course. I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop worrying as well. It’s a fine hospital. But such floors! A mop is not good. You need a brush.”

试题分析：医院有严格的探视病人的时间规定。为了不让父亲担心，也不让自己担心母亲的病情如何，文中的这位Mum机智地想到用当清洁工的身份，偷偷溜去看望了Grandma，知道她很好，没有发烧，就安心回来了。
【小题1】细节理解题。从文中第四段Outside, Mum told me “Grandma is fine. No fever(发烧）.”在外面，妈妈告诉我，奶奶很好，没有发烧。可知Mum拿出一把扫把，是为了不让值班护士起疑心，方便去看病人的。故选A。
【小题2】细节理解题。第一段 “Yes, I’m glad they’ve finally decided to clean them,” the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, “But aren’t you working late?” "是的，我很高兴他们最后决定要弄干净它们，"护士回答说。她奇怪地看着妈妈，说，"但，难道你工作到这么晚吗?"故选C。
【小题3】推断分析题。从第六段Of course. I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow.当然，我告诉了她医院的规定，她直到明天才能见到我们。已经前文Mum通过假扮一名清洁工才成功地看望了Grandma，可以推断出D项正确，故选D。
【小题4】细节分析题。从全文可以看出，Mum选择拿把拖把装作清洁工，躲过了护士的怀疑，最终看望了Grandma并回来，不难看出，Mum是很聪明，机智地，淡定的。故选C。
