3、ot; 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

4、9;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&#

5、39;t know，" she answered with her eyes full of tears. "He's really sick and mum says he needs an opera-tion. 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

6、 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.&quo

7、t;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？根據(jù)以上短文內(nèi)容，然后從每題所給的四個選項中選擇最佳選項。1. What was the trouble in the little girl's family？A. Her brother was seriously ill. B.

8、 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 beautifulC. some wonderful medicine D. some good food3. The little girl said again and again "I can try and get some more." Tha

10、l.5. From the passage we can infer （推斷） that _.A. The doctor didn't ask for any payB. A miracle is sure to happen if you keep onC. The little girl is lovely but not so cleverD. Andrew was in fact not so sick as they had thought答案與解析1. 選 D.根據(jù)第1段中的All she knew was that he was very sick and they ha

11、d no money可知答案。2. 選C. 由于這個小女孩的家很窮，而她的兄弟又病得那樣重，所以她的父親說Only a miracle can save him now，小女孩聽了之后便翻出她所有的" 積蓄" 去藥店購買miracl e ，由此可見，小女孩可能認(rèn)為miracle 是一種什么很神奇的藥。注：miracle 的實際意思是" 奇跡" ，Only a miracle can save him now的意思是" 只有出現(xiàn)奇跡才可能救得了他" 。3. 選B. 根據(jù)上下文語境，I can try and get some more

12、后其實省略了money 一詞，句意為" 我會想辦法弄更多錢來的" 。因為小女孩擔(dān)心自己的錢不夠而買不到miracle ，所以反復(fù)對藥店老板和那位穿著講究的人說這句話，其意思顯然是希望自己不遭到拒絕。4. 選A. 根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，用排除法可知只有選項A 最佳。即是這個小女孩對其兄弟的愛感動了著名醫(yī)生Carlton Armstrong先生，從而出現(xiàn)" 奇跡" ，使她的兄弟獲救。5. 選A. 因為這個小女孩的家很窮，就是因為支付不起昂貴的醫(yī)療費(fèi)才會有奇跡一說，而最后小女孩的兄弟確實是康復(fù)了，顯然醫(yī)生并沒有要求他們家支付醫(yī)療費(fèi)。Christmas Eve mean

13、s a warm get-together with friends， a candlelight dinner ， or perhaps a celebration at a pub（酒館） 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 Bei

14、jing'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

15、 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 p

16、m 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 ou

17、r 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."根據(jù)以上短文內(nèi)容，然后從每題所給的四個選項中選擇最佳選項。1. What does Christmas Eve mean to the 14 Tsinghua students？A. Taking 15 beggars to Tsinghua.B. Gett

18、ing 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

20、 foundC. taken care of D. given no enough care答案與解析1. 選C. 第1段的最后一句helping beggars（乞丐） and the homeless（people without homes）。 就是他們的決定，即去幫助那些乞丐和無家可歸的人，給他們以關(guān)愛。答案選C.2. 選B. 根據(jù)第3段中的 woman所說的話：for the first time I feel respected（尊重）。 我們可以推斷出：乞丐們有太長的時間沒人關(guān)心了。故答案為B.3. 選B. 在第6段中有這樣一句Each beggar greeted them w

21、ith a look of surprise. 而B 選項中Amazed 的同義表達(dá)就是surprised ，所以答案為B.4. 選D. 本文講述了14個清華學(xué)子在平安夜幫助流浪漢和乞丐們的故事。這些流浪漢和乞丐們都感到十分的意外和溫暖，我們由此可推斷他們應(yīng)該是長期given no enough care（被忽視的）原因。這樣我們就可以排除A 、B 、C 三項，最后正確答案為D.What are you going to do if you are in a burning house？ How will you escape ？ Do you know how to save yoursel

22、f？ Please read the following passage.Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save you life.
