【解析】

试题分析:

1.根据The chemist handed me my prescription(处方药),apologized for the wait ,既然是道歉,与它相对应的下文应该问对方是否介意去别的地方收费处。mind +doing介意做某事,故选C

2. 这是where引导的非限制定语从句,先行词是the front,句意:在那里有一个人在我的前面排队……,故选A,此题既考了语法由考了上下文的语意。

3. 一个仅仅七岁的小女孩拿着一小瓶药,这里表示随身携带只有用with,故选B

4.小女孩把一个绿白相间的有条纹的钱包紧紧地搂在胸前。hold“拥有”; hand“交给,传递”; open“打开”; close“关闭”;根据句意及上下文的语境,故选A。

5.小女孩拿着的钱包使“我”想起了童年的往事。remind sb of sth“是某人想起某事”; tell sb sth“告诉某人某事”;  inform sb of sth“告诉某人某事”; convince sb of sth“使某人相信某事”;故选 B

6.suitable“合适的”; expensive“贵的”; oversized “尺寸过大的”;soft“柔软的”;因为这个小女孩穿着她的祖母的衣服当然衣服是很大的。故选C。

7.空格后是who引起的定语从句。这个小女孩学说着大人的话,说跟任何听想听的人。故选D

8.lend sth to sb“把某物借给某人”; show sth to sb“给某人看某物”; leave sth to sb“把某物留给某人”;give sth to sb “把某物给某人”。记得那天“我”假装给一个人一美元钱,而他又给“我”一些硬币放回“我”的钱包里。根据句意故选D

9.pretend假装;false假的;true正确的;real 真实的,真的,前后是对比,作者假装给钱,而对方却是真给作者前,前后是鲜明的对比。根据句意故选D。

10.keep the change保存好这些零钱,与前面的别人给作者coins相对应,故选 A。

11.与上文a bottle of Children’s Motrin on the counter.相对应,小女孩再付款时,先给药然后再拿钱,故选C

12.小女孩拿出一美元和一些零钱想数一数多少钱,故选B

13.当小女孩拿出钱付钱时,作者正好看见她少大约一美元。short不足的,故选B。

14.advise sb to do sth “建议某人做某物”;beg sb to do sth“祈求某人做某物”; signal sb to do sth “给某人打手势做某物”;get sb to do sth“使某人做某物”;根据上文With a quick wink to the checker可以看出作者向收款人用眼色示意她拿出钱来,来帮助小女孩付钱,不想让小女孩知道这事。故选C。

15.与上文相对应小女孩拿出钱来想数一数有多少钱,还没有来得及数,作者就把钱给付了,这时小女孩只好把没有数的钱再放回钱包里。故选D

16.与前面相对应把钱放进钱包,抓起她的包,这里不可能再是钱包,因为她的钱包她一直抓在手里,根据推理可以判断,小女孩买药后把药放在了另一包里,故选A。

17.当作者向车走去,head for向……走去;故选C

18.根据a little girl no more than seven 和wrapped her arms around my legs for a long moment可以判断小女孩个子小,所以她要仰头去看作者,故选 B。

19.根据下文I flashed her a smile 及当时小女孩得到了作者的帮助她肯定很高兴,所以露出了微笑,故选D。

20.根据stretched out her little hand.It was full of coins可知小女孩截住作者的目的就是要感谢作者,故选C

Many trees in the Brackham area were brought down in the terrible storms that March. The town itself lost two great lime trees from the former market square. The disappearance of such striking features had changed the appearance of the town center entirely, to the annoyance of its more conservative inhabitants(居民).
Among the annoyed, under more normal circumstances, would have been Chief Inspector Douglas Pelham, head of the local police force. But at the height of that week's storm, when the wind brought down even the mature walnut tree in his garden, Pelham had in fact been in no fit state to notice. A large and healthy man, he had for the first time in his life been seriously ill with an attack of bronchitis.
When he first complained of an aching head and tightness in his chest, his wife, Molly, had tried to persuade him to go to the doctor. Convinced that the police force could not do without him, he had, as usual, ignored her and attempted to carry on working. Predictably, though he wouldn't have listened to anyone who tried to tell him so, this had the effect of fogging his memory and shortening his temper.
It was only when his colleague, Sergeant Lloyd, took the initiative (主动) and drove him to the doctor's door that he finally gave in. By that time, he didn't have the strength left to argue with her. In no time at all, she was taking him along to the chemist's to get his medicine and then home to his unsurprised wife who sent him straight to bed.
When Molly told him, on the Thursday morning, that the walnut tree had been brought down during the night, Pelham hadn’t been able to take it in. On Thursday evening, he had asked weakly about damage to the house, groaned (含糊不清地说) thankfully when he heard there was none, and pulled the sheets over his head.
It wasn't until Saturday, when the medicine took effect, his temperature dropped and he got up, that he realized with a shock that the loss of the walnut tree had made a permanent difference to the appearance of the living-room. The Pelhams’ large house stood in a sizable garden. It had not come cheap, but even so Pelham had no regrets about buying it. The leafy garden had created an impression of privacy. Now, though, the storm had changed his outlook.
Previously, the view from the living-room had featured the handsome walnut tree. This had not darkened the room because there was also a window on the opposite wall, but it had provided interesting patterns of light and shade that hid the true state of the worn furniture that the family had brought with them from their previous house.
With the tree gone, the room seemed cruelly bright, its worn furnishings exposed in all their shabbiness. And the view from the window didn’t bear looking at. The tall house next door, previously hidden by the tree, was now there, dominating the outlook with its unattractive purple bricks and external pipes. It seemed to have a great many upstairs windows, all of them watching the Pelhams' every movement.
“Doesn’t it look terrible?” Pelham whispered to his wife. But Molly, standing in the doorway, sounded more pleased than dismayed. “That's what I’ve been telling you ever since we came here. We have to buy a new sofa, whatever it costs.”
【小题1】Why were some people in Brackham annoyed after the storm?

A.No market could be held.
B.The police had done little to help.
C.The town looked different.
D.Fallen trees had not been removed.
【小题2】In the third paragraph, what do we learn about Chief Inspector Pelham’s general attitude to his work?
A.He finds it extremely annoying.
B.Не is sure that he plays an important role.
C.Не considers the systems are not clear enough.
D.He does not trust the decisions made by his superiors.
【小题3】 What aspect of the Pelhams’ furniture does “shabbiness” in paragraph 8 describe?
A.its condition.B.its colour.C.its position.D.its design.
【小题4】As a result of the storm, the Pelhams’ living-room _____.
A.was pleasantly lighterB.felt less private
C.had a better view D.was in need of repair
【小题5】Why did Molly sound pleased by her husband’s comment?
A.It proved that he was well again.
B.She agreed about the tree.
C.She thought he meant the sofa.
D.It was what she expected him to say.

Tess was eight years old. Her little brother Andrew was very sick and their parents were completely out of money. She heard Daddy say to her tearful Mother, “Only a miracle can save him now.”

Tess took her money and made her way six blocks to Rexall’s Drug Store.

“And what do you want?” the chemist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven’t seen for ages.”

“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “He’s really sick. He has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”

“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry but I can’t help you,” the chemist said, softening a little.

“Listen, I can help you.” The chemist’s brother was a well-dressed man. He asked Tess, “What kind of miracle does your brother need?”

“I don’t know,” Tess replied. “Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.”

“How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago. “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered. “And it’s all the money I have, but I can get some more, if I need to.”

“Well,what a coincidence (巧合),” smiled the man. “A dollar and eleven cents - the exact price of a miracle for your little brother. Take me to where you live. Let’s see if 1 have the kind of miracle you need.”

That man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon in neurosurgery (神经外科). The operation was completed without charge and it wasn’t long until Andrew was home again and doing well.

Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost… one dollar and eleven  cents… plus the faith of a little child.
