Question

One spring，when 1 was 1 0，during one of my father’s layoffs，I could tell my mother was unhappy．I decided to cheer her up by buying her a special Mother’s Day gift．
One day after school I rode my bike to the Agins，which，I learned years later，was known for its high-end fashions and style．I introduced myself to Sylvia Agins，telling her I was looking for a Mother’s Day present．
“Do you think she’d like a purse ?”she asked．“I think she might．”I told her．
She took out an Italian purse made of leather．She asked me what I thought，and I told her that my mom would like it．
“How much money do you have?’’she asked．
“Twelve dollars，”I said．
“You’re in luck，”she told me．“It’s only $11．You have a dollar left over for the card．” She wrapped the purse and thanked me for my business，and I rode off home with the package under my arm．
When my mother opened the gift the next Sunday morning，she asked in an accusing tone，“Where did you get this?”
“I bought it at the Agins．It cost me$1 1．’’I said．
My mother was shocked into silence．
It wasn’t until many years 1ater，when I learned that the purse was worth several hundred dollars，that I appreciated just how wonderful Sylvia Agins had been to me．I always felt regretful  that I never had a chance to properly thank her．
‘‘You know，my son，what really amazes me to this day，”my mother said．‘‘Letting you have the purse for just a few dollars was unbelievable enough．But the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch of kindness that 9 11 never forget.”

解析試題分析：文章講述了作者10歲時(shí)為了讓因父親失業(yè)而不高興的媽媽快樂(lè)起來(lái)，我給媽媽買(mǎi)母親節(jié)禮物的故事。Sylvia Agins是善良又體貼的，幾百美元的包賣(mài)給作者11美元，剩下1美元還給他放在卡里，這件事讓作者和他媽媽很感動(dòng)，終身難忘。
【小題1】推理題，根據(jù)第一段中“I decided to cheer her up by buying her a special Mother’s Day gift.”我決定給她買(mǎi)一個(gè)特別的母親節(jié)禮物使她振作起來(lái)�？芍�作者想讓他的母親高興，故選C。
【小題2】推理題，根據(jù)文章中““I bought it at the Agins. It cost me $11.” I said.My mother was shocked into silence”我說(shuō)：“我在Sylvia Agins店里買(mǎi)的�；�了我11 美元�！蔽覌寢屨痼@了陷入沉默。前文中說(shuō)那里是高端時(shí)尚風(fēng)格的代表，后文中又說(shuō)那個(gè)包值幾百美元，但只收了作者11美元，這令他的母親很震驚。故選A。
【小題3】推斷題。閱讀全文可知Sylvia Agins幾百美元的女包只賣(mài)給想給媽媽買(mǎi)母親節(jié)禮物的10歲時(shí)的作者11美元，還給他張卡，由此可知是善良又體貼的。故選B。
【小題4】考查文章的標(biāo)題。根據(jù)文章的整體內(nèi)容可知，文章主要講述了為了使母親高興，我給母親買(mǎi)母親節(jié)禮物的故事，文章突出了難忘的禮物。所以，一件無(wú)價(jià)的母親節(jié)禮物是最好的標(biāo)題。故選D。
考點(diǎn)：考查故事類(lèi)短文
