The role was introduced ten years ago by a dietitian concerning that some patients were not eating their meals. Many of our patients are elderly and can be confused by the noisy, busy environment of the hospital and so won39。t focus on eating. explains Yvonne DonglasMorris, head of volunteering, who oversees the activities of all 528 of the trusty volunteers. Staff are busy with the clinical side of things, so the dining panions were introduced. They will assist the patients and encourage them to eat. Violette, a retired library manager, has been helping out for six years. It makes me feel a bit more plete, she says simply. Helping with the meals frees up the nurses to get on with other things. I believe in being a part of the munity and this hospital is part of my munity. Another key role is played by the discharge volunteers, who offer support to the elderly, especially those aged 70 and overleaving hospital to return to an empty home. The team has a budget of ￡10 per person and will pop to the shops and buy milk, bread and a meal to tide them over for the first few hours. They then call the patients regularly, for as long as they need, to check how they are getting on and if they need extra support. The volunteers in Kingston work from a dedicated officea small room in one of the buildings on the hospital grounds, where a Christmas tree decorated with baubles (小飾物) bearing the faces of volunteers sits in the corner. All the volunteers e and gather here, it gets very busy at times, smiles Nicola Hutin, 67, a discharge support volunteer. A mother of two, and grandmother of four, she was a membership coordinator (協(xié)調(diào)員) for a trade association until she retired, and has since volunteered at the hospital one morning a week for 18 months.（1）What can we learn about dining panions?

They will assist the patients and encourage them to eat. 所以介紹了吃飯的同伴。他們會幫助病人，鼓勵他們吃東西?？芍?，關(guān)于用餐同伴，我們能了解到他們的工作環(huán)境很嘈雜。故選A。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Violette, a retired library manager, has been helping out for six years. ‘It makes me feel a bit more plete,’” Violette是一名退休的圖書館經(jīng)理，她已經(jīng)幫了六年的忙。這讓我覺得更完整了”，以及“ I believe in being a part of the munity and this hospital is part of my munity. ”我相信成為社區(qū)的一份子，而這家醫(yī)院也是我社區(qū)的一份子?？芍?，Violette覺得她的工作會給她一種歸屬感。故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“They then call the patients regularly, for as long as they need, to check how they are getting on and if they need extra support.”然后他們會定期給病人打電話，只要他們需要，檢查他們的情況以及是否需要額外的支持?？芍?，出院志愿者為病人打電話來檢查他們的健康狀況。故選D。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The volunteers in Kingston work from a dedicated officea small room in one of the buildings on the hospital grounds, where a Christmas tree decorated with baubles (小飾物) bearing the faces of volunteers sits in the corner.” Kingston的志愿者們在一間專門的辦公室里工作，這是醫(yī)院場地上一棟大樓里的一個小房間，角落里有一棵圣誕樹，上面裝飾著印有志愿者面孔的小玩意。可知，本文告訴我們的是人多力量大。故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及推理判斷和主旨大意兩個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 For many families, a night at the ballpark is a treat. But it can be a terrible experience for those with autistic(自閉癥的)children, who are sensitive to light and noise and usually bee upset and scared. For these families, fear of how their child will react to new situations173。and how others will react to themkeeps them from gaining everyday experiences others get to have. Dr. Wendy Ross was heartbroken to see that. The pediatrician(兒科醫(yī)生)in Philadelphia also knew that separation from the munity didn39。t serve her patients well in the long run. If kids are not in the munity, building their skills from very young ages, then there39。s no reason to expect them to be independent one day, Ross said. It39。s a social disability. It needs to be addressed in a social setting. So in 2007, Ross set out to do just that. Today, her nonprofit, Autism Inclusion Resources, helps families affected by autism deal with challenging social situations, such as sporting events, airport travel and museum visits. Many Major League Baseball teams hold annual 44autism awareness nights, when they take temporary measures such as lowering the volume (音量)on the public address system. But Ross wanted to do more. You can39。t turn down the volume of the world, Ross said. It39。s nice to do it for one night, but our goal is for families to be able to go to a game on any night. To that end, Ross partnered with the Philadelphia Phillies to develop a creative program. She armed all the Phillies players and gameday staff with knowledge about autism an
