Question

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present．On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office，a street urchin (頑童)was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car，Paul？”he asked．

Paul answered，“Yes，my brother gave it to me for Christmas．”The boy was surprised．“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing？Boy，I wish…”He hesitated(猶豫)．

Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for．He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.

“I wish，”the boy went on，“that I could be a brother like that．”Paul looked at the boy in surprise， then he said again， "Would you like to take a ride in my car？”

“Oh yes，I’d love that．”

After a short ride，the boy turned and with his eyes shining，said，“Paul，would you mind driving in front of my house？”

Paul smiled a little．He thought he knew what the boy wanted．He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are？ the boy asked．

He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back， but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled (殘疾的)brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.

“There she is，Buddy，just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”

Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

試題分析：

【文章大意】本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了Paul從哥哥那里收到了一輛汽車作為生日禮物，街上一位頑童看了之后，要求Paul把車開到他家門前，然后，頑童把他殘疾的弟弟報出來，告訴他以后我要給你買一輛這樣的車，作為禮物送給你。

1.B考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第二段中的my brother gave it to me for Christmas可知，Paul告訴了頑童有關(guān)汽車的事。故選B。

2.A考查推理判斷。根據(jù)文章第九段中的And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.可知，頑童也想給他哥哥一輛汽車作為禮物。故選A。

3.D考查推理判斷。根據(jù)文章第九段中的And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.可知，頑童也想給他哥哥一輛汽車作為禮物。這是他的愿望。故選D。
