题目内容
19.One of ray wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift.Unlike other gifts,it came without wrap(包装).On September 11th,1958,Mum gave birth to Richard.After she brought him home from hospital,she put him in my lap,saying,"I promised you a gift,and here it is."What an honor!I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own.I played with it day and night.I sang to it.I told it stories.I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning,however,I found its bed empty.My doll was gone!I cried for it.Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital.It had a fever.For several days,I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as"hopeless","pitiful",and"dying",which sounded ominous.
Christmas was coming."Don't expect any presents this year,"Dad said,pointing at the socks I hung in the living room."If your baby brother lives,that'll be Christmas enough."As he spoke,his eyes filled with tears.I'd never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning.Dad jumped out of bed to answer it.From my bedroom I heard him say,"What?He's all right?"He hung up and shouted upstairs."The hospital said we can bring Richard home!"
"Thank God!"I heard Mum cry.
From the upstairs window,I watched my parents rush out to the car.I had never seen them so happy.And I was also full of joy.What a wonderful day!My baby doll would be home.I ran downstairs.My socks still hung there flat.But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!

分析 本文是一篇故事,故事发生在圣诞节前后,作者深爱的小弟弟因病住院,情况不容乐观.在圣诞节即将来临之际,全家人正在为此感到悲伤难过时,来自医院的电话给全家人带来了好消息,作者的弟弟康复了,作者认为这是圣诞节最为特别的礼物.文章用一个小孩简单的感受,通过对父母的语言描写和神态动作观察和描写,表达了亲情在这个并不富裕的家庭里的巨大感召力.
解答 56.A 细节理解题.根据第二段第一句"On September 11th,1958,Mum gave birth to Richard."可知,作者的母亲在1958年9月11日生了一个男孩,也就是作者得到了一个小弟弟故选A.
57.D 词义猜测题.根据短文第3段,划线词前面提到"‘hopeless',‘pitiful',and‘dying'".在作者幼小而懵懂的心里,这些词是有一定的惊吓作用的.故选D.
58.C 推理判断题.根据短文内容可知,在圣诞节即将来临之际,作者的弟弟仍然在住院而且情况不容乐观,所以作者的父亲应该感到悲伤.故选C.
59.C 主旨大意题.根据全文尤其是第一段的"One of ray wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift."可知,作者以一个特别的圣诞礼物为中心线索来展开故事情节,因此,最佳标题应该是"A special Christmas gift.".故选C.
