8．One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift．Unlike other gifts，it came without wrap（包裝）．
On September 11th，1958，Mum gave birth to Richard．After she brought him home from hospital，she put him in my lap，saying．"I promised you a gift，and here it is．"What an honor!None of my friends had such a baby doll of their own．I played with it day and night．I sang to it．I told it stories．I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning，however，I found its bed empty．My doll was gone!I cried for it．Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital．It had a fever．For several days，I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as"hopeless"，"pitiful"，and"dying"，which sounded ominous．
Christmas was coming．"Don't expect any presents this year．"Dad said，pointing at the socks I hung in the living room．"If your baby brother lives，that'll be Christmas enough．"As he spoke，his eyes were filled with tears．I'd never seen him cry before．
The phone rang early on Christmas morning．Dad jumped out of bed to answer it．From my bedroom I heard him say．"What？He's all right？"He hung up and shouted upstairs．"The hospital said we can bring Richard home!"
"Thank God．'"I heard Mum cry．
From the upstairs window，I watched my parents rush out to the car．I had never seen them happy．And I was also full of joy．What a wonderful day!My baby doll would be home．I ran downstairs．My socks still hung there flat．But I knew they were not empty； they were filled with love!

分析 本文介紹了我所度過(guò)的一個(gè)特別的圣誕節(jié)，我的弟弟從醫(yī)院康復(fù)回家了，給我?guī)?lái)了很多的快樂(lè)，雖然我用來(lái)裝禮物的襪子是空的，但是里面充滿了幸福．

解答 56：A 細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)第二段第一句On September 11 th，1 958，Mum gave birth to Richard．說(shuō)明媽媽生下來(lái)弟弟，故A正確．
57：D 推理題．根據(jù)本句I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as"hopeless"，"pitiful"，and"dying"，which sounded Ominous．"hopeless"，"pitiful"，and"dying"都是用來(lái)形容弟弟的，真是讓人害怕，故D項(xiàng)正確．
58：C 推理題．根據(jù)第四段最后一句As he spoke，his eyes filled with tears． I'd never seen him cry before．爸爸哭了說(shuō)明他很難受，故C正確．
59．B 推理題  根據(jù)媽媽說(shuō)I promised you a gift，and here it is．可知，給作者的禮物是小弟弟，但弟弟生病后，有可能今年的"禮物"就沒(méi)有了，可以推知，此處禮物指的是The reunion of the family，家人的團(tuán)圓，故答案為B
60．C 主旨大意題   文章開(kāi)頭One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift．已經(jīng)點(diǎn)明主題，而禮物沒(méi)有包裝，且是完全康復(fù)的弟弟自然是特殊的禮物了，故答案為C

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文介紹了我所度過(guò)的一個(gè)特別的圣誕節(jié)，我的弟弟從醫(yī)院康復(fù)回家了，給我?guī)?lái)了很多的快樂(lè)，雖然我用來(lái)裝禮物的襪子是空的，但是里面充滿了幸福．以細(xì)節(jié)題的考查為主，要求考生能夠在仔細(xì)審題的基礎(chǔ)之上根據(jù)選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容和文本信息做適當(dāng)?shù)难由�，形成�?zhǔn)確的判斷和推理．

18．C2（第三、四層次學(xué)校的學(xué)生做此題）
We lived nearby a hospital and rented the upstairs rooms to the patients from the hospital．
As I was preparing supper one summer evening，there was a knock at the door．I opened it to see a truly terrible-looking man--no taller than my eight-year-old son．But the shocking thing was his face-twisted from swelling．He told me he'd been hunting for a room since noon but with no success．"I guess it's my face…，but my doctor says with a few more treatments …"
I told him we would find him a bed．When I had finished the dishes，he told me he fished for a living to support his daughter，her five children，and her husband，who was hopelessly disabled from a back injury．He didn't tell it by way of complaint； in fact，every other sentence began with a thanks to God for a blessing．He was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease，which was apparently a form of skin cancer．
Before he left for his bus the next day，he asked if he could come back and stay the next time he had a treatment．I told him he was welcome to come again．In the years he came to stay overnight with us，there was never a time that he did not bring us fish or oysters or vegetables from his garden．
When I received these little gifts，I often thought of a comment our neighbor made after he left that first morning．"Did you keep that terrible-looking man last night？I turned him away．You can lose roomers by accommodating such people!"Maybe we did lose roomers once or twice．But oh!If only they could have known him，perhaps their illnesses would have been easier to bear．I know our family always will be grateful to have known him； from him we learned what it was to accept the bad and the good as well．

58．When I met the man for the first time，C．
A．he needed something to eat          
B．my kid was frightened by him
C．he wanted a place to stay overnight   
D．I thought he was 8years old
59．The man was refused by the neighbor becauseB．
A．the man was not rich              
B．he might lose roomers
C．he had no empty room             
D．the man didn't bring him gifts
60．Which of the following is NOT true about the man？B
A．He had skin cancer．
B．God helped him to recover．
C．He supported a large family by fishing．
D．He didn't complain about his difficulties．
61．The man feltC to life．
A．passive   
B．confident   
C．grateful  
D．regretful
62．What might be the best title of the passage？B
A．Never judge a book by its cover     
B．Give others a hand
C．Accept the good and the bad        
D．Be the architect of life．
