英语_阅读_Cards for Hospitalized Kids

 

3. B. pain
解析：上文提到“离开朋友和学校”对“我”造成的感受几乎和手术本身一样严重。手术本身是痛苦的（physical pain），此处应指心理或情感上的“痛苦”，且与“stressed”“uncertain”等负面感受一致，故选 pain。

4. A. act
解析：前文提到“收到志愿者寄来的卡片”，寄卡片是一种善意的“行为”。后文也提到“that small act of kindness”，前后呼应，故选 act（行为）。

7. D. turned into
解析：句意为“它后来______一个全国性组织”。此处表示从一个小慈善项目“转变成为”大型组织，turned into（转变为）符合语境。其他选项：looked up（查阅；仰望）、gave up（放弃）、broke into（闯入）均不匹配。

8. B. but
解析：前句说“很难相信一张卡片能做这么多好事”，后句说“它确实能做到”。两句为转折关系，强调“虽然难以置信，但事实如此”，故选 but。
