12．A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present．
On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office a street urchin was walking around the
shining car．"Is this your car，Paul？"he asked． Paul answered，"Yes，my brother gave it to me for Christmas．"The boy was surprised．"You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you nothing？Boy，I wish．"He hesitated． Of course．Paul knew what he was going to wish for． He was going to wish he had a brother like that．But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly．
"I wish，"the boy went on，"that I could be a brother like that．"Paul looked at the boy in surprise，then he said again，"Would you like to take a ride in my car？""Oh，yes，I'd love that．"After a short ride，the boy turned and with his eyes shining，said，"Paul，would you mind driving in front of my house？"
Paul smiled a little．He thought he knew what the boy wanted．He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car．But Paul was wrong again．"Will you stop where those two steps are？the boy asked．
He ran up to the steps．Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back，but he was not coming fast．He was carrying his little crippled brother．He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car．"There she is，Buddy，just like I told you upstairs．His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didnt cost him a cent．And some day I am going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about．"Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car．The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride．

分析 本文講述了一個(gè)小男孩在看到Paul的哥哥送給他的新車之后，從內(nèi)心引發(fā)的對(duì)自己殘疾的弟弟的愛憐．他希望自己以后能送一輛車給自己的弟弟，讓他能夠自己去發(fā)現(xiàn)世界的美．
解答 32．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第2段中的 Paul answered，"Yes，my brother gave it to me for Christmas．"The boy was surprised．Paul告訴了男孩子有關(guān)于車的事，這個(gè)孩子感到非常驚訝，可知答案為B．
33．A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容The urchin 指著 Paul 的車對(duì)他的弟弟說："And someday I'm going to give you one just like it…"所以 the urchin 希望也能給他弟弟一輛車，故答案為A．
34．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容 He was carrying his little crippled brother．以及Buddy，some day I am going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about．The urchin 要 Paul 把車停在他家門前后，立即扶著他殘疾的弟弟出來，讓他看看Paul的車，然后告訴弟弟他想為他做的事，所以他只是想告訴他弟弟他的愿望．再結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，答案為D．
35．B 通讀全文，我們不得不為 The urchin 的行為所感動(dòng)，他是一個(gè)好哥哥．文章就是講述了他這樣的一位好哥哥，B選項(xiàng)最合適．
點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是人物故事類閱讀理解．做這類題材閱讀理解時(shí)要求考生對(duì)文章通讀一遍，做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．
