【解析】段落大意： 本文是一篇記敘文，文章介紹的是16歲的女孩琳達(dá)不幸身患癌癥，開始變得意志消沉。她的媽媽去花店給她訂了一些鮮花。鮮花店老板送給琳達(dá)一張卡片，上面寫著自己也曾在15歲時(shí)被診斷患了癌癥，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)24歲了，積極面對(duì)生活開了這家花店。 琳達(dá)看后開始對(duì)生活充滿希望。

1.由第一段最后一句 “Her mother took her to a hospital and the doctors found out that she had cancer .”得知：她媽媽帶她去醫(yī)院檢查，醫(yī)生診斷她身患癌癥。所以得出結(jié)論：她得了重病才感覺不舒服。故A。

2.由上下文得知：琳達(dá)被診斷得了癌癥后，她的生活改變了，她開始經(jīng)常去醫(yī)院接受治療，雖然醫(yī)院和醫(yī)生都是一流的，但是琳達(dá)仍然對(duì)生活失去信心。不難判斷得出：該詞意思為：情緒低落的，消沉的，憂傷的，悲痛的,故C 。

3.由第三、第四段得知：琳達(dá)的媽媽去花店給她訂了一些鮮花。送來的鮮花旁邊有一個(gè)卡片, 卡片上寫著：“I own  this flower shop . ”，得出結(jié)論：是鮮花店老板送給琳達(dá)的這張卡片。故C 。

4.由原文倒數(shù)第三行 “Linda smiled . She finally felt some real hope . She found the will to live.”得知：她微笑了，，她找到了活下去的勇氣。她變得對(duì)生活充滿希望。故A 。

5.通讀全文來看，正是花店老板的一張卡片，喚起了身患癌癥的小琳達(dá)對(duì)生活的信心和勇氣，由原文最后一段得知：小事情會(huì)產(chǎn)生大效果，我們應(yīng)該給別人諸如善意、勇氣和希望等小東西給他人。故B
