Question

【題目】 In 1952, my dad worked far away from home. Christmas was coming. He called and said that he couldn’t celebrate the holiday with us. He didn’t get enough money and he didn’t have a way to get back.

Mum was sad but she understood him. She told my two sisters, brother and me right away. The news made me sad. Christmas wouldn’t be the same without Dad. I knew he had tried his best, but I still went to bed on Christmas Eve with a heavy heart.

When I woke up on Christmas morning, I saw the presents. I was happy with the presents, so I went outside to play with my sisters and brother. I didn’t want Mum to see how sad I was because I couldn’t show Dad my presents.

As we were playing, I looked up and found my dad was far away. I ran inside to tell Mum, but she just said, “Don’t make up stories, dear.”

I went outside. I ran down the stairs. Dad was home! As I ran into his arms, Dad told me that he tried everything to get home for Christmas, but he couldn’t make it. At the last minute, a group of workers decided to drive a car home.

The best present wasn’t under the tree that year.

短文大意：本文是記敘文，作者回憶了1952年盼望爸爸回家過圣誕節(jié)的往事，表現(xiàn)了親情的可貴。

【1】題意：為什么作者的父親一開始就不能回家慶祝圣誕節(jié)?考查細節(jié)理解。①因為他很遙遠。②因為他沒有很多錢。③因為他有一個重要的會議。④因為他沒有辦法回家。根據(jù)第一段In 1952, my dad worked far away from home. Christmas was coming. He called and said that he couldn’t celebrate the holiday with us. He didn’t get enough money and he didn’t have a way to get back. 爸爸在離家很遠的地方工作……不能和我們一起過節(jié)，因為他沒有得到足夠的錢，也沒有辦法回家，可知沒有會議要參加，①②④符合題意，故選C。

【2】題意：作者在平安夜上床睡覺時是什么感覺？考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)I knew he had tried his best, but I still went to bed on Christmas Eve with a heavy heart.可知作者很傷感，She felt sad符合題意，故選B。

【3】題意：為什么作者的母親說“Don’t make up stories, dear”？考查細節(jié)判斷。根據(jù)前文的介紹He called and said that he couldn’t celebrate the holiday with us，爸爸打電話來說他不能和家人一起過節(jié)，可知媽媽不相信爸爸回家了，Because she didn’t believe her husband was back.符合題意，故選D。

【4】題意：從文章中我們能了解到什么?考查細節(jié)理解。A. 作者家里有五個人；根據(jù)She told my two sisters, brother and me right away.可知連同爸爸共六口人，說法錯誤。B. 作者的父親坐車回家了；根據(jù)At the last minute, a group of workers decided to drive a car home.可知說法正確。C. 作者的父親在平安夜回家了；根據(jù)I knew he had tried his best, but I still went to bed on Christmas Eve with a heavy heart.結合第二天早上看到了爸爸，可知說法錯誤。D. 作者的母親無法理解作者的父親；根據(jù)Mum was sad but she understood him.可知說法錯誤。綜合以上分析，故選B。

【5】題意：那年給作者最好的圣誕禮物是什么?考查文意理解。根據(jù)The best present wasn’t under the tree that year結合短文內容，可知爸爸回家陪家人過圣誕節(jié)對作者來說是最好的禮物，Her father’s coming back符合文意，故選A。
