13.Just as I entered my house,I heard a sound coming from the bedroom upstairs-it was from my favourite violin.
"Thief!"
I rushed upstairs and saw a boy in dirty clothes pulling my violin down.At first sight,I found a new pair of shoes missing.It seemed he was surely a thief.
However,when I saw his eyes full of fear,my anger disappeared.I smiled and asked,
"Are you Mr Ram's student Rubens?I'm his butler (男管家).I've heard Mr Ram said his student would come.It must be you."
"Has my teacher gone out?"the boy said,"I think I'd better visit him again in a while."I nodded and asked him,"Do you like playing the violin?"
Yes,but I'm too poor to afford one."the boy replied.
Then,I'll give you this violin."The boy looked at me in surprise,but he picked up the violin.While going out of the room,he suddenly saw a huge photo of me playing the violin at the Grand Theatre of Sydney on the wall.His face turned pale.He stood there for a moment and ran out.He must have understood what had happened because no master would put up the butler^photo on the wall of his living room.
A few years later,at a music competition in Melbourne,I was invited to be the judge.Finally,a violin player called Merritt won the first prize.
After the prize-giving,Merritt ran to me holding a violin box,his face red,and asked,"Mr Brian,do you still know me?You gave me this violin,which I have treasured ever since!Today,I want to say sorry and give back the violin to you without regret…"
He was just the"Mr Ram's student"!

分析 短文大意:作者遇到一個小偷想要偷走自己心愛的小提琴,但是小偷充滿恐懼的眼睛使得他不想責(zé)罰他,而是把小提琴送給了他.幾年后,在一次作者當(dāng)評委的音樂比賽中,那位小偷得了一等獎并歸還了作者的小提琴.
解答 47.A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.題意:當(dāng)作者看到小男孩把他的小提琴拉倒時感覺怎樣.由文中的:However,when I saw his eyes full of fear,my anger disappeared.然而,當(dāng)我看到他的眼睛充滿了恐懼時,我的憤怒消失了.可知,作者當(dāng)時很憤怒.故選:A.
48.B 推理判斷題.題意:事實上,這個男孩是誰?根據(jù)短文開頭At first sight,I found a new pair of shoes missing,作者發(fā)現(xiàn)自己有一雙鞋不見,后面小男孩離開他家時的表現(xiàn)及短文的描述,可以推測出小男孩是一個小偷.故選B.
49.A.推理判斷題.題意:男孩的臉變得蒼白可能因為他意識到什么.根據(jù)文中的:He musthave understood what had happened because no master(主人)would put up the butler's photo on thewall of his living room.(他一定知道發(fā)生了什么了,因為沒有主人把管家的相掛在客廳的墻上)可以推測出男孩已經(jīng)意識到送他小提琴的人就是此屋的主人.故選A.
50.C.標(biāo)題判斷題.通讀全文作者的善良把一個小偷變成了一位音樂家,故選C.
點評 在做英語閱讀時,首先通讀全文,不要被某個或某些自己不熟悉的單詞所困擾,了解大概意思.然后看問題,帶著問題精讀全文,同時選擇答案,必要時用排除法,注意,文章中一般都會有答案,有的可以直接找到,英美人并不愿意把問題弄得太深奧,不必想得太復(fù)雜,很多都是直接了當(dāng)?shù),千萬別自己發(fā)揮想象.但不得不說,平時多積累詞匯量的話,答題可能就會主動一些,有把握一些.
