Question

【題目】閱讀下面短文并根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成下列各題。

The Christmas of my 16th, when decorating the Christmas tree with Mum, I accidentally dropped and broke an old glass ball. It had been on our tree for as long as I could remember.

Regretfully, I knelt to pick up the pieces and was surprised to find a small piece of paper among them. Unfolding the tiny note, I recognized my father’s penciled writing. Lifting my eyes, I saw my mothers smile.

“Your Daddy wrote that and put it in that blue ball during our first Christmas together, just before you were born,” she said.

I wouldn’t have believed it, if there hadn’t been the note in my hands. Daddy always regarded getting the tree decorated as an important task. And yet this bit of yellowed paper proved that long ago my Daddy had done something romantic at Christmas.

Carefully putting the note aside, I cleaned up the pieces, wishing I could reassemble them. “You needn’t fit the parts of the old glass ball together again. Pick out another one and put the note back inside.” Mum said.

Now, as I celebrate the holidays without Mum, who died of cancer years ago, I feel really sad. Each year as I decorate Christmas tree. I recall the moment I shared with her that winter afternoon and blink away my tears.

As I carefully handle those old glass balls. I love knowing that one of them holds a secret between Daddy and Mum — a secret that was obvious to all who knew them.

The note inside one of those old glass balls on Christmas tree holds the heart of my parents’ marriage in three warm words: “I love you.”

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。作者16歲時(shí)在裝飾圣誕樹時(shí)，意外地打碎了一個(gè)舊的玻璃球。發(fā)現(xiàn)了玻璃球里的紙條，紙條是父親在作者出生前寫的，是父母親一起過的第一個(gè)圣誕節(jié)。作者這才發(fā)現(xiàn)父親是一個(gè)很浪漫的人，父母之間有著深深的愛，而這種愛也影響著認(rèn)識(shí)他們的每一個(gè)。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的The Christmas of my 16th, when decorating the Christmas tree with Mum, I accidentally dropped and broke an old glass ball.可知，在我16歲的那個(gè)圣誕節(jié)，在裝飾圣誕樹時(shí)，我意外地打碎了一個(gè)舊的玻璃球。由此可知，作者在裝飾圣誕樹時(shí)，意外地打碎了一個(gè)舊的玻璃球。文中沒有提及作者的性別。故答案為He/She/The author accidentally dropped and broke an old glass ball.。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的“Your Daddy wrote that and put it in that blue ball during our first Christmas together, just before you were born,” she said.可知，她說：“你爸爸寫了這個(gè)紙條，在我們第一個(gè)圣誕節(jié)的時(shí)候，是在你出生之前，把它放進(jìn)那個(gè)藍(lán)色的球里�！庇纱丝芍�，紙條被放進(jìn)球里是在作者出生之前。故答案為Before the author was born./ During the author’s parents’first Christmas together. 。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的And yet this bit of yellowed paper proved that long ago my Daddy had done something romantic at Christmas.可知，然而，這一張泛黃的紙證明，很久以前，在圣誕節(jié)爸爸做了一些浪漫的事情。由此可知，這些泛黃的紙證明了很久之前，父親是一個(gè)很浪漫的人。故答案為He had done something romantic at Christmas /He was a romantic man. /He was romantic.。

【4】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)劃線詞后的You needn’t fit the parts of the old glass ball together again.可知，你不必再把舊玻璃球的零件裝在一起了。這是作者的媽媽告訴他的話，說明這原本是作者想做的事，所以wishing后的賓語從句是作者要做的事，這就是劃線詞的意思。故答案為Fit/Put the parts of the old glass ball together again.。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章最后一句I love you.可知，這就是作者這篇文章要表達(dá)的觀點(diǎn)：要對(duì)你的家人表達(dá)愛，所以回答時(shí)只要表達(dá)對(duì)父母的愛，為正能量的，就可以。故答案為Yes, I do. I give them small gifts on their birthdays, ring them often and help them with housework.。
