Question

We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn’t even lift her eyes from the book. Mum __36__ at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to __37__ down. While I watched __38__ open in surprise, Mum __39__ her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked __40__ to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop. She __41__ the mop past the desk and __42__ the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, “Very __43__ floors.”
“Yes, I’m __44__ they’ve finally decided to clean them,” the nurse answered. She looked at Mum __45__ and said, “But aren’t you working late?”
Mum just pushed harder, each swipe of the mop __46__ her farther and farther down the hall. I watched __47__ she was out of sight and the nurse had __48__ to writing in the big book.
After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were __49__. She quickly put the mop back and took my __50__. As we turned to go out of the door, Mum bowed politely to the nurse and said, “__51__.”
Outside, Mum told me: “Dogmas is __52__. No fever.”
“You saw her, Mum?”
“Of course. I told her about the hospital __53__, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop __54__ as well. It’s a fine hospital. But such __55__! A mop is no good. You need a brush.”

36. point at‘指向’符合情景。Stare at‘盯’，come at‘撲向’，及aim at‘瞄準’都不貼切。
37.與前文chair呼應。
38.驚訝時的舉動或表情。Mouth open為獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)作伴隨狀語，起補充說明的作用。
39.呼應下文gave them to me to hold.
40.根據(jù)當時的情景，修飾walk最恰當?shù)母痹~應該是quietly.
41.  用拖把mop擦洗地板，應該用push。drag 表示‘拽’，pull表示‘拉，拖’，不符合英語表達習慣。
42.  表示‘當……的時候’最自然。
43.  呼應全句和下文護士說的話。
44.  句子意思是‘我很高興他們終于決定擦洗地板了’。
45.  從后文But aren’t you working late?‘你怎么晚還干活’來推理護士看母親的神態(tài)應該是‘strangely’。
46.  句意是‘每拖一把就讓她走得更遠’。each swipe…taking her…為伴隨狀語。
47.  這里應該用until‘一直到’，因為主句動詞watch是延續(xù)性動詞。
48.  呼應前文。意思是‘回到，重新’。turn round意思是‘回頭’，turn down 意思是‘關(guān)低，拒絕’，turn into是‘變成’的意思。
49.  注意主語和下文。eyes作主語，謂語不能用crying，nervous和sad。Her eyes were shining意思是‘眼睛發(fā)亮’，可能是高興所致，也可能是‘含著淚花’。但是，‘淚’不一定是痛苦的。
50.  注意這里my作為限定詞，同時與下文對應。
51.  與前文bow politely 對應。此時應該得知mother想了一個非常聰明的辦法去探望了病人。
52.  從下文可知，Dogmas就是mother去探望的病人。better 表示‘好些了’，而well‘健康’與病人意義矛盾。
53.  畫龍點睛。rules表示‘規(guī)定’。此句說明了mother假扮清潔工進入醫(yī)院的原因。
54.  與下文as well呼應。
55.  與下文mop和brush呼應。
