Question

【題目】 Christmas is for giving and sharing, for getting together with family and friends. But mostly it"s for love. I had not believed this until a boy gave me a wonderful gift one Christmas.

Without parents, Brian lived with his mean aunt. I had not noticed him until he began to clean up the room after school, at risk of being punished by his aunt. During those hours, Brian spoke mostly of his mother, a kind, gentle, loving woman who always spent time with him.

As Christmas came near, however, Brian didn’t stay after school. I looked forward to his coming. One afternoon, I stopped him and told him how I missed him.I saw his eyes lit up. I explained how he had been my best helper and this made him more excited. "I was making you a surprise.It"s for Christmas." He became embarrassed and ran away.

Finally came the last school day before Christmas. Brian entered the room with his hands hiding something behind. "I have a present for you." He hold out his hands, and a tiny wooden box was lying there.

"It"s beautiful, Brian. Let’s see what’s in it."

"Oh, you can"t see what’s in it," he said," and you can"t touch it, but mother always said it makes you feel good all the time, warm on cold nights, and safe when you’re alone.”

I looked into the empty box. "Brian, what will make me feel so good?"

"It"s love,and mother always said it"s best when you give it away.

Yes, Christmas is for celebrations, songs and gifts. But mostly, Christmas is for love. So now I still keep the small box.

【解析】

圣誕節(jié)是為了給予和分享，為了與家人和朋友團(tuán)聚。但更主要是為了愛(ài)。作者通過(guò)圣誕節(jié)一個(gè)男孩給予他一份很棒的禮物讓我們理解了這一點(diǎn)。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“I had not noticed him until he began to clean up the room after school, at risk of being punished by his aunt.”他冒著被姑姑懲罰的危險(xiǎn)放學(xué)后打掃房間，及后文作者對(duì)他的評(píng)價(jià)“I explained how he had been my best helper”可知他是樂(lè)于助人的，故選C。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“I had not noticed him until he began to clean up the room after school, at risk of being punished by his aunt.”可知他冒著被姑姑懲罰的危險(xiǎn)在放學(xué)后打掃房間，可知他停止清整房間的原因可能是姑姑的懲罰，故選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“But mostly, Christmas is for love. So now I still keep the small box.”可知作者珍視布萊恩的禮物，故A正確；根據(jù)“Brian spoke mostly of his mother, a kind, gentle, loving woman who always spent time with him.”及“"It"s love,and mother always said it"s best when you give it away.”可知布萊恩的媽媽對(duì)他影響大，故B錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)“at risk of being punished by his aunt.”可知他的姑姑對(duì)他不好，故C錯(cuò)誤；短文中沒(méi)有提及布萊恩圣誕節(jié)的習(xí)慣，故D錯(cuò)誤，結(jié)合題干，故選A。
