Question

【題目】When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents. The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.

I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I wailed and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter (交款處) and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.

Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. "You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you," said the woman. "It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, I know you will feel as good about it as I do no."

Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mm-k enjoyed giving them to us.

I would like to say "thank you" to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets (毯子) and clothes for the homeless people in the fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.

【4】D

【5】D

【解析】

本文介紹了圣誕節(jié)之前，作者的兒子馬克想要給家人買些禮物，但在付錢的時(shí)候發(fā)現(xiàn)錢被偷了。一個(gè)善良的女士給了他一個(gè)特別的禮物——為他付錢，并希望馬克能把愛心傳遞下去。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket（在十二月的第三個(gè)星期六，馬克說他列了一個(gè)清單，他的口袋里有二十美元。）的描述可知，12月的第三個(gè)星期六應(yīng)該是圣誕節(jié)前夕。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car.的描述可知，作者是獨(dú)自進(jìn)了超市。故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段There was a hole in his pocket, but no money!（在他的口袋上有個(gè)洞，但是里面沒有錢。）的描述可知，衣服有個(gè)破洞，錢不見了。故選C。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文最后一段tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house to collecting blankets and clothes for the homeless people in the fire（告訴她四年以后，馬克為無家可歸的人去挨家挨戶收集毯子和衣服。）的描述可知，作者向那位女士道謝是因?yàn)樗�教�?huì)了作者要多多去幫助別人。故選D。

【5】標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)文章大意，文章是通過那位女士替Mark付錢，就當(dāng)做是送他的禮物，而非寫的是大超市、善意的女士或快樂的家庭，所以答案應(yīng)選D
