An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money. When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, "Only a miracle can save him now," the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully. She hurried to a drugstore (药店) with the money in her hand. "And what do you want?" asked the salesman. "It's for my little brother," the girl answered. "He's really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle." "Pardon?" said the salesman. "My brother Andrew has something bad growing in-side his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?" "We don't sell a miracle here, child. I'm sorry," the salesman said with a smile. "Listen, if it isn't enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs." A well-dressed man heard it and asked, "What kind of a miracle does your brother need?" "I don't know," she answered with her eyes full of tears. "He's really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can't pay for it, so I have brought all my money." "How much do you have?" asked the man. "$ 1.11, but I can try and get some more," she answered. "Well, what luck," smiled the man. "$ 1.11, the price of a miracle for little brothers." He took up the girl's hand and said, "Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the kind of miracle you need." That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation was successful and it wasn't long before Andrew was home again. How much did the miracle cost? 1. What was the trouble in the little girl's family? A. Her brother was seriously ill. B. They had no money. C. Nothing could save her brother. D. Both A and B. 2. In the eye of the little girl, a miracle might be _______. A. something interesting B. something beautiful C. some wonderful medicine D. some good food 3. The little girl said again and again "……I can try and get some more." That shows _______. A. she had still kept some money B. she hoped not to be refused C. There was no need to worry about money D. she thought money was easy to get 4. What made the miracle happen? A. The girl's love for her brother. B. The girl's money. C. The medicine from the drugstore. D. Nobody can tell. 5. From the passage we can infer (推断) that _______. A. The doctor didn't ask for any pay B. A miracle is sure to happen if you keep on C. The little girl is lovely but not so clever D. Andrew was in fact not so sick as they had thought 1. 选 D.根据第1段中的All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money可知答案。 2. 选C.由于这个小女孩的家很穷,而她的兄弟又病得那样重,所以她的父亲说Only a miracle can save him now,小女孩听了之后便翻出她所有的"积蓄"去药店购买miracle,由此可见,小女孩可能认为miracle是一种什么很神奇的药。注:miracle的实际意思是"奇迹",Only a miracle can save him now的意思是"只有出现奇迹才可能救得了他"。 3. 选B.根据上下文语境,I can try and get some more 后其实省略了money一词,句意为"我会想办法弄更多钱来的"。因为小女孩担心自己的钱不够而买不到miracle,所以反复对药店老板和那位穿着讲究的人说这句话,其意思显然是希望自己不遭到拒绝。 4.选A.根据文章内容,用排除法可知只有选项A最佳。即是这个小女孩对其兄弟的爱感动了著名医生Carlton Armstrong先生,从而出现"奇迹",使她的兄弟获救。 5.选A.因为这个小女孩的家很穷,就是因为支付不起昂贵的医疗费才会有奇迹一说,而最后小女孩的兄弟确实是康复了,显然医生并没有要求他们家支付医疗费。 Christmas Eve means a warm get-together with friends, a candlelight dinner, or perhaps a celebration at a pub(酒馆) for students. But, for Cai Yingjie, the night has a different meaning: helping beggars(乞丐) and the homeless(people without homes)。 Cai, who is a student in journalism at Tsinghua, could be found at Beijing's Wudaokou Light Railway Station that special evening. When she saw an old beggar, she took the cold, rough hands of the woman with her warm, clean hands, and gave the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves(手套)。 The woman was surprised for a few seconds, then burst into tears, saying "for the first time I feel respected(尊重)"。 Cai said, "A beggar's life is very hard. That's why I want to help them." Cai was one of 14 Tsinghua students spending Christmas Eve among the poor. They walked in the cold wind along the streets from 4 to 7 pm on Friday, visiting 15 beggars in Beijing's Haidian District. They brought bread and gloves with them, and stopped to greet beggars and offer them some of the warm food. Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise. "I know the activity can't help much, but it's meant to show our respect and care for beggars and the homeless who have been neglected for so long," said Sun, head of the group. "And Christmas is a good time for that." 1. What does Christmas Eve mean to the 14 Tsinghua students? A. Taking 15 beggars to Tsinghua. B. Getting together with friends. C. Showing care to the beggars and the homeless. D. Selling bread and gloves to the beggars. 2. What does the beggar mean by saying "for the first time I feel respected"? A. The beggar has been waiting for Cai for long. B. The beggar hasn't been shown care for so long. C. The beggar has been respecting Cai for a long time. D. This is the first time the beggar has seen Tsinghua students. 3. What did each beggar feel when they received greetings? A. Sad. B. Amazed. C. Frightened. D. Proud. 4. The word "neglected" in the last passage means _______. A. protected B. found C. taken care of D. given no enough care 1. 选C.第1段的最后一句„helping beggars(乞丐) and the homeless(people without homes)。 就是他们的决定,即去帮助那些乞丐和无家可归的人,给他们以关爱。答案选C.
