F(2024·江苏盐城三模)
Our house was across the street from a big hospital, so we rented(租) our empty upstairs. rooms to outpatients(门诊病人). One evening, there was a 1 at the door. I opened it and saw a truly sick-looking old man.
His face looked terrible—it was swollen(肿胀的) and red. Yet his voice was 2 . He told me that he came for treatment and that he'd been looking for a spare room since noon, but no one would give him one because of 3 .
For a moment I said nothing but he said he would be 4 to just sleep in the hallway. I agreed.
The old man had a huge heart inside his tiny body. He told me that he fished for a living to 5 his daughter, her five children and her disabled husband.
He didn't complain while telling 6 his story. He was so grateful that he didn't feel any 7 from his disease which was seemingly a form of skin cancer.
The next morning, he said, "Can I come back and stay the 8 time I need treatment?" I told him he was welcome to come again.
On his next trip, as a 9 , he brought a big fish and some large oysters(牡蛎). In the years when he stayed with us, there was 10 a time when he did not bring us gifts like these.
My neighbour 11 me that I could lose some renters by putting up the old man after he left the first morning.
Maybe we did 12 renters once or twice. But if they had known him, perhaps their illnesses would have been 13 to bear(忍受). I know our family always will be 14 to have known him. From him, we learnt 15 it was to accept the bad without complaint and the good with gratitude(谢意).

答案： 1. A 【点拨】根据“I opened it and saw a truly sick-looking old man.”可知作者开门看到一个病态的老人。由此推断作者先听到“敲门声”才去开门。故选 A。
2. D 【点拨】根据“His face looked terrible—it was swollen（肿胀的）and red.”可知他的脸因为红肿而看起来很糟糕。根据“Yet”可推断作者认为这个病人的声音和外貌给人的感觉是相反的，作者认为他的外貌是“糟糕的”，声音却是“好的”。故选 D。
3. B 【点拨】根据“His face looked terrible—it was swollen（肿胀的）and red.”可知他的脸看起来太糟糕了。由此推断别的房主不收留他是因为他的脸。故选 B。
4. A 【点拨】根据上文“he'd been looking for a spare room since noon”和“just sleep in the hallway”可知这个病人从中午开始就一直找住的地方，但是没人愿意收留他。由此推断此刻如果能有一家房主收留他，让他睡到走廊也很“开心”。故选 A。

7. C 【点拨】根据“He was so grateful that he didn't feel any 7 from his disease”可知老人心态好，所以他感觉不到疾病带来的疼痛，pain 符合题意。故选 C。
8. B 【点拨】根据“I told him he was welcome to come again.”可知作者欢迎他再来住。由此推断这个老人是询问“下次”能否再来住。the next time 下一次。故选 B。
9. A 【点拨】根据“there was 10 a time when he did not bring us gifts like these”可知他每次都给“我们”带这些“礼物”。故选 A。
10. B 【点拨】根据“he did not bring us gifts like these”可知双重否定表肯定，此处表示每次都带，用 never。故选 B。
11. D 【点拨】根据“I could lose some renters by putting up the old man after he left the first morning”可知这里是作者的邻居给作者的劝告，由此推断空格应该填 warned。故选 D。

13. D 【点拨】根据上文“He was so grateful that he didn't feel any pain from his disease which was seemingly a form of skin cancer.”可推断作者希望别的病人能从这个老人身上学到乐观积极对待疾病的态度，从而“更容易”忍受他们的疾病。故选 D。
14. A 【点拨】根据“But if they had known him, perhaps their illnesses would have been easier to bear(忍受).”可知作者认为如果那些病人认识这个老人，或许会有助于他们对抗疾病。由此推断作者应该是“感激”自己及家人认识这个老人。故选 A。
