原文+答案解析

247.
W: So Mr. Brown, this is your bed, and as you can see, there are three other beds in the ward. Have you got everything you need?
M: Yes, nurse, I think so. I followed the hospital's advice, and I've only brought a few belongings with me.
W: Good, you can see the reasons why we ask you to do that. The cupboard is really very small.
M: Yes. Nurse, can you tell me what the visiting hours are?
W: Yes, of course. They are in the afternoon from 2:30 to 4:30 and in the evening from 7:00 to 8:00, but remember that only two people can see you at the same time.
M: I see. What other rules are there?
W: Yes. We start pretty early. We wake you up at 6 o'clock, and breakfast is at 8 o'clock. Lunch is at noon. There is tea at 3:30, and supper is at 6 o'clock.
M: Oh, that's very difficult from what I have been used to. You'd better tell me the rest of the rules here.
W: Yes. Well, you can see the No Smoking sign. We don't allow smoking in the wards, and the same goes for alcohol. However, if you do need to smoke, there are special rooms.
M: Oh, I don't smoke, so it doesn't affect me.
W: Good.

答案解析：
(1) 正确答案为A。根据The cupboard is really very small.柜子真的非常小。可知，男子没有带太多东西是因为柜子太小，没有足够的空间，因此A项正确。
(2) 正确答案为C。根据visiting hours are in the afternoon from 2:30 to 4:30 and in the evening from 7:00 to 8:00.探病时间是下午2点半到4点半，晚上7点到8点。因此可知C项正确，7点可以探病。
(3) 正确答案为A。根据What other rules are there?其他规定是什么？以及You'd better tell me the rest of the rules here.你最好告诉我医院的其他规定。可知，男子对医院规定知之甚少，因此A项正确。
