　　Since his father had passed away, the family had struggled．But what the family lacked in money and material things, they made up for in love．

　　Wiping a tear from his eye, Bobby started to walk from shop to shop, looking into each decorated window．Everything seemed so beautiful and so out of reach．

　　It was starting to get dark when he suddenly discovered a dime(十分钱)lying on the ground．Never before had anyone felt so wealthy as Bobby felt at that moment．

　　He walked into the first store but his excitement quickly turned cold when he was told nothing could be bought with only a dime．He then went into a flower shop．Hearing Bobby’s words and looking at the dime, the shop owner said, “You just wait here and I’ll see what I can do for you．”

　　Bobby waited until the last customer left．The shop owner moved to the counter saying “I happened to have some roses on sale for ten cents a dozen．Would you like them, young man?” Could this be true? When the man placed roses into his hands, he knew it was true．Walking out gratefully, Bobby heard the shop keeper say, “Merry Christmas, son．”

　　Staring out of the window, tears in eyes, the shop keeper explained to his wife, “A strange thing happened to me this morning．While I was to open the shop, I heard a voice telling me to set aside a dozen of my best roses for a special gift．I wasn’t sure at the time whether I had lost my mind or what, but I set them aside anyway．Then when the little boy came in, I saw myself many years ago who was a poor boy with nothing to buy mother a Christmas gift．A man I never knew stopped me on the street and gave me ten dollars．Then I knew who that voice was．

Bobby’s family had neither money nor love．

He was 4a brown torn coat with dirty sleeves. His shoes were scuffed (磨破)and his one shoelace was torn. The little boy looked poor to me — too poor to5to buy anything. He looked6the toy section, picked up this item and 7, and carefully put them 8in their place.
Dad came down the stairs and walked over to the boy. His steel blue eyes9and the dimple(酒窝)in his cheek stood out as he asked the boy what he could do for him. The boy said he was looking for a Christmas 10 to buy his brother. I was impressed that Dad treated him with the same respect as any adult. Dad told him to take his11and look around. He did.
After about 20 minutes, the little boy carefully picked up a toy 12, walked up to my dad and said, “How much for this, Mister?”
“How much you got?” Dad asked.
The little boy held out his hand and13it. His hand was creased(起皱) with14lines of dirt from holding his15too tightly. In his hand16two dimes, a nickel and two pennies—27 cents. The price on the toy plane he’d picked out was $3.98.
“That’11 just17it,” Dad said as he18the sale. Dad’s reply still 19in my ears. When the little boy walked out of the store, I didn’t notice the dirty, worn coat or the single torn shoelace. What I saw was a happy child with a 20.

第三部分  阅读理解（共20小题：每小题2分，满分40分）

第一节   阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。                 

When I was a boy, my father told me that he could do anything he wanted to. Dad said that he wanted to be the first to develop color prints in our city. And so he did. 

When I was 16, Dad looked closely at the violin I played and announced that he wanted to make one. He read about violinmaking, and then became a violinmaker at the age of 43. He bought the tools and materials, opened a small store and set Mom up as the shopkeeper, while he worked at a local company. He retired from the company 17 years later and continued to make violins and other instruments.

Dad often guessed why the Stradivarius violins sound so beautiful. Some experts claimed that it was the unique varnish(清漆) that gave those instruments their beautiful sound. Dad argued that chemists could analyze the varnish---if that were the answer.

One of Dad’s friends asked him once which kind of wood was used to make violins. When Dad explained that the top was made of spruce（云杉）, his friend said that he had an old piece of spruce Dad might be interested in.

He worked for the next 12 months making a violin from the wood that his friend had given him. It proved to be a superior violin and it would become Dad’s masterpiece. He was convinced that the secret of the Stradivarius sound was in the wood itself.

Later, the instrument was stolen. Dad’s spirit was broken by the robbery, and he stopped making instruments. But he kept the music shop until he was 80 years old, selling guitars and violins.

My father has been gone for 14 years now. The violin has been missing for more than 25 years. Somewhere a musician is playing a late-20th-century violin with an excellent tone. The owner today may never understand why this ordinary-looking violin sounds so much like Stradivarius.

41. The author mentions his father’s developing color prints     .

  A. to show that his father’s real interest was not in making violins

  B. to prove that his father could do anything he wanted to

  C. to give an example proving that his father was an inventor

  D. to describe the real thing that made the author believe his father

42. What did the author’ father think about Stradivarius violins?

  A. The varnish was different from others.

  B. The way of making them was special.

  C. The wood of the violins was special.

  D. They could only be analyzed by chemists.

43. From the underlined sentence, we can learn that the author’s father     .

  A. liked the violin very much         B. got crazy after this happened

  C. lost interest in instruments         D. didn’t want to become famous

44. We can infer from the last paragraph that the author     .

  A. really hates the thief         B. misses his father a lot

  C.really wants to play the violin  D. wonders who’s playing the violin now
