中考英语阅读理解·她用爱创造奇迹 An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she kne w was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation c ould save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.

When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.

She hurried to a drugstore (药店) with the money in her hand.

“And what do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my little brother,” the girl an swered. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon?” said the salesm an.

“My brother Andrew has something bad growing i nside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?” “We don’t sell a mirac le 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 mu ch it c osts.”

A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother n eed?”

“I don’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 m oney.”

“How much do you have?” asked the man. “$ 1.11, but I can try and get some mor e,” she answered.

“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$ 1.11, the price of a miracle for little brother s.”

He took up the girl’s hand and said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see you r brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”

That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation wa s successful and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home ag ain.

【答案及解析】

1.选D。根据第1段中的All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money可知答案。

2.选C。由于这个小女孩的家很穷,而她的兄弟又病得那样重,所以她的父亲说Only

a miracle can save him now,小女孩听了之后便翻出她所有的“积蓄”去药店购买miracle,由此可见,小女孩可能认为miracle是一种什么很神奇的药。注:miracle的实际意思是“奇迹”,Only a miracle can save him now的意思是“只有出现奇迹才可能救得了他” (from w http://www.77cn.com.cn)。

3.选D。The urchin 要Paul把车停在他家门前后,立即扶着他残疾的弟弟出来,让他看看Paul的车,然后告诉弟弟他想为他做的事,所以他只是想告诉他弟弟他的愿望。

4.选C。The urchin在坐过Paul的车后没有忘记弟弟,并且承诺也要给弟弟买一辆车,可见他对弟弟有着一份深深的爱。答案选C,而A、B、D三项与文章不符。

5.选C。通读全文,我们不得不为The urchin 的行为所感动,他是一个好哥哥。文章就是讲述了他这样的一位好哥哥,C选项最合适。
