小题4:C
解析
在本文中作者描述了自己遇见的一位因为酗酒来接受治疗的病人让自己认识到很多人都是带着伪装的，要想真正认识一个人，很多时候是要卸掉伪装。也就是告诉我们不要以貌取人。小题1:C
【试题解析】推理题。根据第2段最后2行The people seeking treatment for addiction are sometimes looked down on as being less worthy of treatment than other serious physical " ailments" .可知那些因为酗酒来寻求治疗的病人经常会被认为看不起，认为他们不如患其他疾病的人值得治疗。本句中的 " ailments"是指和酗酒相似的疾病。故C项正确。
小题2:D
【试题解析】计算题。根据3,4段第一句At first glance, I found out that the man was now somewhere in his mid-thirties和He told me that he began drinking about age 11。可知这个人选择30多岁，而他是在11岁的时候就开始喝酒了，所以他喝了20多年的酒。故D正确。
小题3:B
【试题解析】推理题。根据文章倒数第3行 "Because I'm starting to be mean to the people I love, but now I don't want to be. I ca:n see that I'm changing into something else. "可知这个人开始对自己所爱的人不好了，这是因为酒精让他变成来了另外一个人。故B正确。
小题4:C
【试题解析】推理题。根据文章最后一段I, thank this man for showing me that the goodness is dressed in all sorts of disguises(伪装) . Sometimes we have to undress it. It's worth doing. My patient was admitted to the hospital for help ,despite us not having a detox facility.可知很多时候人们都穿着伪装的外衣，要想真正了解一个人，我们要卸掉伪装。也就是不要根据外表来判断一个人。故C项说法正确。
【长难句解析】
1.After looking at his chart, I saw that he was seeking treatment for alcoholism.
【翻译】看了他的病历以后，我知道他是为了寻求酗酒的治疗的。
【分析】本句中的after作为介词，其宾语是动名词短语looking at his chart；该词还可以作为连词，后面接时间状语从句。后面的句中含有that引导的宾语从句，that在句中不充当任何成分，可以省略。
2. Behind the appearance, there was a terrified person whose goodness was being claimed by the alcohol.
【翻译】在表面的东西下面，有一个可怕的人，他的灵魂已经被酒精夺走了。
【分析】本句中有一个定语从句whose goodness was being claimed by the alcohol，修饰先行词person，在这个定语从句whose指代先行词，在定语从句中做定语。Whose的先行词可以是人也可以是物，相当于of which/whom。

【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
