Question

1．Once when I was a teenager，my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus．Finally，there was only one family between the ticket office and us．This family made a big impression on me．
There were eight children，all probably under the age of 12．You could tell they didn't have a lot of money． Their clothes were not expensive，but they were clean．The children talked excitedly about the clowns．It was clearly a very important day out for them．The father and mother seemed happy as they could be．
The tickets lady asked how many tickets the father wanted，he proudly answered，"Please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adults'tickets，so I can take my family to the circus．"
The ticket lady told him the price．
The man's wife lowered her head．There was no longer a smile on the man's face．He quietly asked，"How much did you say？"
The ticket lady again told him the price．
The man obviously didn't have enough money．But how could he tell his kids the bad news？
Seeing what was happening，my dad took a $20 note from his pocket and dropped in on the ground．（We were not rich ourselves at all!） He then tapped the man on the shoulder and said，"Excuse me，sir，you dropped this．"
The man understood my father was helping him．He picked up the money，looked straight into my dad's eyes，and in tears replied．"Thank you．This really means a lot to me and my family．"
Although we did not go to the circus that night，we didn't go without．

Answer 1

分析 在我十幾歲的時(shí)候，有一次我和父親在排隊(duì)買馬戲票．終于，在我們前面買票的只有一家人了．
那家人給我留下了很深的印象．那家一共有八個(gè)小孩，大致都在12歲以下．你能判斷出他們并不富裕．
他們的衣服不是很貴，卻干凈整潔．孩子們興奮地談?wù)撝�小丑．�?duì)他們來(lái)說(shuō)這顯然是非常重要的一天，他們的父親和母親似乎很高興．
女售票員問(wèn)父親要多少?gòu)埰保�他自豪的回答說(shuō)："請(qǐng)給我八張兒童票和兩張成人票，這樣我可以帶全家人一起看馬戲．"
女售票員告訴了他票價(jià)．那個(gè)人的妻子低下了頭，在男人的臉上已經(jīng)不再有笑容，他平靜地問(wèn)道"你說(shuō)要多少錢？"
女售票員又告訴了他一遍價(jià)格．
這個(gè)人顯然沒(méi)有足夠的錢．但他怎么能把這個(gè)壞消息告訴他的孩子們呢？
看到發(fā)生的這一切，我父親從口袋里掏出了一張20美元的鈔票并扔在了地上．（我們根本也不富有!）然后他拍拍那個(gè)男人的肩膀說(shuō)："哦，先生，這是從您的口袋里掉出來(lái)的!"
那個(gè)人明白我父親正在幫他．他撿起了錢，直直的地注視著我父親的雙眼，流著淚他回答道："先生．這確實(shí)對(duì)我和我的家人很重要．"
那天晚上，雖然我們沒(méi)有看成馬戲，但是我們絲毫不覺(jué)得遺憾．

解答 46．A．句意理解題．根據(jù)Their clothes were not expensive，but they were clean，可知這句話的意思是他們的衣服不昂貴，但是很干凈．由此可見(jiàn)父母為他們付出很多，說(shuō)明這些孩子們被照顧的很好．故選A．
47．D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)The man obviously didn't have enough money．可知這個(gè)男人沒(méi)有足夠的錢，也就是票價(jià)太貴所以不高興了．故選D．
48．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)Seeing what was happening，my dad took a $20 note from his pocket and dropped in on the ground，可知這20美元是我父親的，故選B．
49．D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"Thank you．This really means a lot to me and my family．"可知我的父親幫了這一家一個(gè)大忙，他被父親的善良感動(dòng)而深表謝意．故選D．
50．A．推理判斷題：根據(jù)He picked up the money，looked straight into my dad's eyes，and in tears replied．"Thank you．This really means a lot to me and my family．"，可知他撿起了錢，直直的地注視著我父親的雙眼，流著淚回答到"先生．這確實(shí)對(duì)我和我的家人很重要．"從這里可以推測(cè)出那個(gè)人可能用那些錢買了票一家人看上了馬戲．故選：A
