Question

Rita was in shopping mall, looking for a gift for her little daughter. Suddenly she stopped before a store, inside which were all kinds of dolls.
“Why not a lovely doll? Girls like dolls,” she thought as she stepped into the store.
Looking around ,she saw a grandma doll—one with gray and a pair of glasses. As she gazed at it, in her mind somehow appeared Linda, her mother.
When Rita was a little girl, she got her first doll form Linda for her birthday. She was very happy. Then the second, the third……,Rita began to feel puzzled, When she asked her mum the reason, the answer was always “A girl can never have enough dolls.” Year after year, Rita grew up and Linda aged, but a doll a year from Linda never arrived late.
“But why always a doll?” This question had been in Rita’s mind until one day her father gave the answer.
Little Linda dreamed to have a doll. Her parents promised one for her fifth birthday. Sadly, they both died in a traffic accident before it arrived .The never—received gift was the most precious* in her eyes. That’s why she thought dolls were the best birthday gifts for Rita.
Her mother’s story being recalled ,Rita got an idea……
It was Linda’s sixtieth birthday. The whole family gathered around the sixty-year-old lady when the doorbell rang, Much to Linda’s surprise ,a package was delivered* to her, with a card read:
Dear Linda,
I forget to send you the package that you should have received on May 20,1956,your fifth birthday. The gift inside has aged ,but I felt that you might still wish to have it. Sorry for the lateness!                                                             Love,                                                 Angel of Joy
Linda opened the package and saw a lovely grandma doll. She clasped the doll that she had waited so many years to receive ,tears coursing down her face. The doll, given by “Angel of Joy”, made her the happiest “child ”alive .

試題分析：這篇短文給我們講述的是一個遲到的生日禮物。Rita在給自己的女兒買禮物的時候，想到了自己的媽媽。她的媽媽總是送給她布娃娃當禮物，開始她不明白這是為什么。后來她知道，原來她的媽媽小時候一直想得到一個布娃娃禮物，但是始終沒有得到。最后在媽媽六十歲生日的時候，Rita給她的媽媽買了一個布娃娃禮物。
小題1:細節理解題。根據短文第三段中As she gazed at it, in her mind somehow appeared Linda, her mother.可知，當Rita看著那個布娃娃出神的時候，他的腦子里浮現出來她的媽媽，Linda。由此可知，Linda是Rita的媽媽。故選B。
小題2:細節理解題。根據短文第六段中Rita的父親告訴他的話我們可知，Linda小時候特別希望得到一個布娃娃，她的父母答應她在她五歲生日的時候送給她一個。但是不幸的是，她的父母在她生日到來之前因為車禍都去世了。因此Linda從沒得到過她夢想的布娃娃，在她的眼中，布娃娃是最珍貴的禮物，所以她才給自己的女兒買布娃娃。故選D。
小題3:詞義猜測題。根據劃線的這個單詞所在的句子以及上下文的意思可知，Linda opened the package and saw a lovely grandma doll. She clasped the doll that she had waited so many years to receive ,tears coursing down her face Linda打開包裹，看到了一個可愛的布娃娃，她拿著她等了這么多年才收到的禮物，眼淚流了下來。這里clasped的意思是拿著，故選A。
