D.Togivemoneytothegirl.參考答案：29-32.ABCA29．A考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第二段中的"Shewascleaningouttheattic(閣樓)onedaywhenshecameacrossanolddustymanuscript(手稿)"可判斷出,是那位生病女孩的母親在打掃閣樓時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)的這本手稿,她把手稿送給她的女兒,然后她的女兒又給我的父親看。故可知,是那個(gè)女孩的母親發(fā)現(xiàn)的手稿。故答案為A。

30．B考查推理判斷。根據(jù)文章中的"…stayedintheGalvestonboardinghouse"可判斷出,我的父親知道O.Henry曾經(jīng)去過(guò)Houston,在Galveston住過(guò),所以這就可能解釋他的手稿出現(xiàn)在閣樓的事實(shí)。故答案為B。

31．C考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)前后的語(yǔ)境,我的父親去拜訪了一位研究O.Henry的專家,從下文的"Myfatherthensetouttosellit"以及后面的事實(shí)可判斷出,那位專家證明這本手稿是真正的O.Henry的作品。authenticate意思是"證明(某物)為真"。故答案為C。

32．A考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第三段中的"Myfatherthensetouttosellit"以及"hefoundhimselfinDesMoines"可知,我的父親是去這個(gè)地方出售O.Henry的手稿的。故答案為A?！緜渥ⅰ俊窘忸}導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】這是一篇記敘文。文章主要敘述了我的父親為了挽救一個(gè)女孩的性命所做的一件事情。他通過(guò)出售O.Henry的一本手稿而挽救了那位女孩的性命。19.共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）
