题文

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（顽童） 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.(犹豫) 　　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 （残疾）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 didn’t cost him a cent（美分）. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it …then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window 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. 根据短文内容，选择正确案。（10分） 小题1:The street urchin was very surprised when ________. A.

小题1:B  小题2:A 小题3:C 小题4:B 小题5:C

试题分析：这篇短文为我们讲述了一个小男孩的故事，他看到Paul有一辆漂亮的汽车，当他知道这是Paul的哥哥送给他的时候，他也想做一个这样的哥哥，送给他的残疾的弟弟一辆汽车，让他能看到圣诞节橱窗里美丽的东西。 小题1:细节理解题。根据短文的第二段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 ?可知，当Paul告诉the street urchin 这辆车是他的哥哥送给他的时候，他感到很惊奇。故选B。 小题2:细节理解题。根据短文的第四段小男孩说的话“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.”可知，Paul以为他也想有一个这样的哥哥，没想到小男孩说他希望成为这样的一个哥哥，能给自己的弟弟这样的一辆车，这让Paul感到很惊奇。故选A。 小题3:细节理解题。根据短文的倒数第二段的内容“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent（美分）. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it可知，这个小男孩让Paul把车开到他家的前面，是为了让他残疾的弟弟看看，告诉他的弟弟有一天他也会为他买一辆这样的车。故选C。 小题4:推理判断题。根据这个故事的大概意思我们可以知道，这个男孩对他的弟弟非常有着深深的爱，他希望有一天能送给他的弟弟一辆汽车，好让他能看到圣诞节时橱窗里美丽的东西。故选B。 小题5:主旨大意题。这个故事给我们讲了一个小男孩的故事，他并不羡慕Paul有那样的一辆汽车，他想做一个能给自己的弟弟买一辆汽车的哥哥，就像Paul的哥哥一样。故C选项的意思更能贴合这个故事的主题。
