Question

【題目】I was in a charity shop looking at the second hand books.It just so happened that the book shelves were next to the toy section.After a few minutes I became aware of a group of women standing behind me.They were poorly dressed and spoke in what sounded like an eastern European language.As they looked through the clothes rails a little girl,about three years old,came over to the toy section.Immediately her attention was caught by a toy pram（嬰兒車）. What is it about little girls and toy prams? I don't know,but whatever it is its incredibly cute! She spoke to her mother and,in halting English her mother asked the shop assistant how much it cost.Three pounds was the answer---about five dollars.The mum looked down at her child,perhaps calculating what she still had to buy and how much money she would have left.Then she simply shook her head. The child didn't react badly as some might.Being told“no”was obviously not a new experience for her.But she couldn't keep the disappointment from her face. I had the grand total of four pounds in my pocket,two two-pound coins.A moment later I tapped the mother on the shoulder,pointed to the coins which I had left in the pram and said,“Buy her a dolly too.” I didn't hang about to see the end result.After all,it's not about being thanked.I made my way out of the shop and into the sunshine. The money was an investment in the happiness of the world.Was there any better way,I wondered,to get so much happiness for so little money than to buy a little girl a toy pram? And a dolly to sit in it!

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】這是一篇記敘文，作者看到一位媽媽因為錢不富裕不能給孩子買玩具車，于是慷慨解囊?guī)椭�這位母親，說明作者是一位善良、樂于助人、體諒他人的人。

【1】B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第一、二句She spoke to her mother and, in halting English her mother asked the shop assistant how much it cost. Three pounds was the answer---about five dollars.可推知，小女孩應(yīng)是讓她媽媽給她買嬰兒車，所以她媽媽才會去問價錢。故選B。

【2】C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中The mum looked down at her child, perhaps calculating what she still had to buy and how much money she would have left. Then she simply shook her head.可知，媽媽之所以搖頭，是因為她沒有隨身帶足夠的錢。故選C。

【3】C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句The child didn't react badly as some might.Being told“no”was obviously not a new experience for her.可知，媽媽不買玩具，這孩子沒有很厲害的反應(yīng)，被告知“不”顯然不是她的新經(jīng)歷。所以這位母親不夠富有，常常不能滿足女兒的需要。故選C。

【4】D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四、五段I had the grand total of four pounds in my pocket, two two-pound coins. A moment later I tapped the mother on the shoulder, pointed to the coins which I had left in the pram and said, “Buy her a dolly too.” I didn't hang about to see the end result. After all, it's not about being thanked. I made my way out of the shop and into the sunshine.可知，作者給了這位母親買玩具的錢，作者這樣做并不是為了得到感謝，而是走出商店，走進(jìn)陽光。說明作者善良、樂于助人、體諒他人。故選D。
