Question

 After a boy had unwrapped his gifts on Christmas morning,his mother asked him which present he wanted to donate.

  "None," the 5-year-old boy replied. His mother explained that sharing was part of the holiday spirit. She also explained that a poor child would be very happy to receive a gift. The boy eventually agreed to part with (舍棄) one of his gifts. He put his four gifts in front of him and tried to decide which one to part with. It was a difficult decision,but he chose to say goodbye to the flute (長(zhǎng)笛) ."Where do we take it?" he asked his mother. His mother explained that there was a Salvation Army box two streets away and someone would give the gifts to children who needed them.

  This parting with a gift became a yearly activity. When he was 8 years old,the boy treas?ured the gifts he had received so much that his decision needed to be made using a special method,which led him to part with a set of checkers (跳棋) .Three months later,he saw the checkers set at his friend Jerry's house. When Jerry was 6 years old,his father had died and his mother had lost her job,so he had few gifts.

  The next Christmas,when the boy thought about how much fun he had watching Jerry play with the checkers,he told his mother that he wanted to put his new football in the Salvation Army box. Through giving gifts,he found that giving brings happiness not only to others but also to himself.

1-4   DDAC      

A篇：這是一篇記敘文。文章講述了一個(gè)小男孩捐贈(zèng)自己的圣誕禮物的故事。小男孩通過(guò)這個(gè)舉動(dòng)明白了給予不僅給別人更給自己帶來(lái)了快樂(lè)。

1. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章第二段內(nèi)容可知這個(gè)五歲的小男孩剛開(kāi)始并不愿意把禮物捐給別人，后來(lái)在媽媽的勸說(shuō)下同意了。其中"It was a difficult decision"表明小男孩是經(jīng)過(guò)艱難的抉擇才作出決定的,故選D.

2. D細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。從第二段最后一句的"someone would give the gifts to children who needed them"可以推斷出人們用一個(gè)箱子專(zhuān)門(mén)收集大家捐贈(zèng)的禮物，然后將這些禮物分發(fā)給需要禮物的窮人小孩。故選D.

3. A細(xì)節(jié)理解題，文章第三段說(shuō)他要用特殊的方法才能決定捐出哪個(gè)禮物，表明他需要做一番心理斗爭(zhēng)才能把禮物捐贈(zèng)出去。

4. C主旨大意題。從全文和文章結(jié)尾可知給予不僅給別人更給自己帶來(lái)了快樂(lè)，這正是文章想要表明的主旨。
