解析本文是一篇充满情趣又感人至深的记叙文。高考完形填空在选择记叙文题材时，第一个倾向是注重短文本身的教育意义，从这个意义上说，本文非常符合高考完形填空的选材要求。文章长度约327词，符合近几年高考完形填空短文长度逐渐加长的趋势。在命题方面以文意的把握和理解以及逻辑的连贯性作为考查的重心，设空以实词为主，力争有一个较为广阔的考查面。其中涉及动词6个，名词5个，形容词4个，介词1个，副词3个，连词1个。总的来看，本篇完形填空在题材、体裁、文章长度、难度、设空分布等方面符合高考命题趋势。
本文是记叙文。小女孩的弟弟得了重病，家里的钱也花光了，只有奇迹才能救他的命。小女孩就把自己积攒的零花钱拿出来??1美元11分，竟然买来奇迹救了弟弟的命。本文完全按照事情的发生、发展和结局的顺序展开。把握文章的整体结构、理顺文章的内在逻辑、明确本文小女孩的天真以及医生的高尚举动是做好这篇完形填空的关键。
36看到儿子病重，家里又花光了钱，因此母亲伤心，选"眼含泪水的"符合逻辑。
37. 下文有提示，只有出现奇迹才能救孩子的命。此处是"只有"，而不是"仅仅"，故不选A或B。
38.从储蓄罐里把零花钱"倾倒"出来符合语境。
39. make one’s way to... "向……走去"。
40.此处表示"目的"或"对象"，故用介词for。
41.前后文都有提示，小孩用自己的零花钱去买"奇迹"，符合小孩的性格特点。
42.弟弟病重，因此是头里长了"坏的"东西。extra"额外的"，不符合小孩的语言特点和认知水平。
43.药店里是"卖"药，而不是卖"奇迹"。
44.药剂师已经了解了小女孩弟弟的情况，但不能帮助小女孩，因此"伤心地"微笑。
45.下文有提示，这儿刚刚出现这位"穿着体面的"顾客，不能马上断定他是"好心的"，故不选B。
46.这位顾客不明白小女孩的弟弟需要什么样的奇迹，故有此问。
47.后面有提示，前面也出现了小女孩的弟弟头中长了"坏"东西的信息，因此小女孩知道需要"手术"才能救弟弟的命。A项"医生"太笼统，B项"外科医生"，概念太专业，超出了小女孩的认知水平。
48.从后面这位顾客问小女孩有多少钱，可得出答案，小女孩告诉对方把自己所有的"积蓄"都带来了。
49.前后应该是转折关系。
50.此处这位顾客了解了小女孩的用意，故幽默地说：1美元11分钱"正好"是买一个奇迹的钱，说明这位顾客决定帮助小女孩的弟弟。
51.这位顾客要到小女孩家里去，因此让小女孩"带"他去，其他的都不符合逻辑。
52.这位顾客要去"见见"小女孩的父母，以便进一步了解情况。
53.说明Dr Carlton Armstrong富有爱心，无偿地为小女孩的弟弟做了手术，因此是没有收费。其他选项不合题意。
54.小女孩的弟弟不久就回了家痊愈了，注意此选项与后面doing well的并列关系，其他三个选项与doing well在意义上重复。
55.用1美元11分钱买来奇迹，反映了小女孩的"信念"，其他的不合题意。
