Santa Can Come before Christmas

It was last June. I was shopping in a supermarket. A young man walked up and asked, “Can you tell me where the ________ counter is?”

“In the lower right corner.” I replied.

Some minutes later, I met the same man ________ almost 10 bottles of milk.

I asked, “Do you need a trolley (手推車)?”

“Sure, thanks.” he answered.

Then I was ________ that his trolley had 24 bottles of milk and was still ________ more ones.

I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you have so many bottles?”

“These are for my street ________ . I want to be a Santa ________ them.”

“It’s too _______ to be a Santa. It is still June.”

He turned at me but saying _______ .

________, we met again at the bread counter.

“So these bread and cakes are also for the street dogs, Mr. Santa?”

“Yes. I love to be Mr. Santa in the month of June. Santa is a ________ of surprise and love. He comes in December as we ________ him around Christmas. But in real life there is a Santa that shines at some time, ________ which month it is. Maybe when you offered a trolley to me, there was a ________Santa in you. When we offer food to a poor man or a(n)________to someone who is caught in the rain, we are being Santa there. So just think that Santa has come all the way for you.”

He is right. We just need to realize that Santa is around us by ________ happiness and unconditional (無條件的) love. He can come before Christmas.

【解析】

作者在一次購物的時候,發(fā)現(xiàn)一個男人買了很多的牛奶、面包和蛋糕。男人說他是個圣誕老人,為街上的流浪狗準備食物。但是作者很好奇,圣誕老人為什么在六月出現(xiàn)。男人解釋到,現(xiàn)實中有這樣不分月份的圣誕老人,就在我們身邊傳播幸福和愛。

1句意:你能告訴我牛奶柜臺在哪里嗎?

vegetable蔬菜;milk牛奶;bread面包;fish魚。根據(jù)“…I met the same man ____2____ almost 10 bottles of milk.”可知我再看到老人的時候,他拿著10瓶牛奶,因此可推測,他之前詢問的是牛奶柜臺。故選B。

2句意:幾分鐘過后,我遇到同一個人,他手里拿著幾乎10瓶牛奶。

putting放置;choosing選擇;holding拿著;bringing拿來;帶來。根據(jù)下文“Do you need a trolley (手推車)?”作者對男人的詢問可知,男人應(yīng)該是手里拿著10瓶牛奶,作者問他是否需要手推車。故選C。

3句意:然后我驚訝于他的手推車里有24瓶牛奶,他仍在拿更多的牛奶。

scared害怕的;excited興奮的;angry生氣的;surprised驚訝的。根據(jù)“…that his trolley had 24 bottles of milk…”可推測,當作者看到男人手推車里面有24瓶牛奶的時候,應(yīng)該是驚訝于它的數(shù)量之多。故選D。

4句意:然后我驚訝于他的手推車里有24瓶牛奶,他仍在拿更多的牛奶。

picking up拿起;taking up拿起;從事;getting up起床;coming up開始;發(fā)生。結(jié)合句意和賓語more ones可知,此處表示“拿起更多的牛奶”,pick uptake up雖都有“拿起”的意思,但是take up通常指某事業(yè),某事,而pick up有挑選之意。故選A。

5句意:這些是給流浪狗的。

boys男孩;dogs狗狗;toys玩具;plants植物。根據(jù)“So these bread and cakes are also for the street dogs, Mr. Santa?”可知男人買的面包和蛋糕給流浪狗的,因此可推測牛奶也是給流浪狗的。故選B

6句意:我想成為它們的圣誕老人。

for為了;對……而言;on在……上;關(guān)于;of……的;by通過;被。結(jié)合句意可知,此處表示“對某人而言”,用介詞for。故選A

7句意:現(xiàn)在當圣誕老人太早了。

late晚的;early早的;lucky幸運的;easy簡單的。根據(jù)常識和“It is still June.”可知圣誕節(jié)是在12月份,而現(xiàn)在是6月份,因此是太早了。故選B

8句意:他轉(zhuǎn)向我,但是什么也沒說。

something某事;anything任何事;nothing沒有事;everything每件事。此句后并沒有解釋的內(nèi)容,而且倒數(shù)第二段是作者在面包柜臺看到男人之后,男人解釋了原因,因此此處男人并沒有說什么,nothing符合句意。故選C

9句意:幸運地是,我在面包柜臺再次遇到他。

Luckily幸運地;Suddenly突然;Hopefully有希望地;Naturally自然地。根據(jù)上文“It’s too ___7___ to be a Santa. It is still June.”作者對于六月份做圣誕老人的疑問可知,之前男人沒有消除他的疑問,這次幸運地碰上他,希望能得到答案。同時,根據(jù)男人買東西給流浪狗這件事也可以推斷出,作者認為見到男人是幸運的。故選A。

10句意:圣誕老人是驚喜和愛的象征。

bridge橋梁;style風格;brand品牌;商標;symbol象征。此空為名詞of格,表示“驚喜和愛的……”,結(jié)合語境可知,此處應(yīng)該是表示“象征”。故選D。

11句意:他在十二月份到來,我們在圣誕節(jié)的時候期盼他。

ask問;show展示;expect期盼;invite邀請。空前we指“我們”,空后him指“圣誕老人”,我們應(yīng)該是期盼圣誕老人的到來。故選C

12句意:但是現(xiàn)實生活中,有一個圣誕老人在某些時候出現(xiàn),不管是哪個月。

no matter不管;even if即使;as well也;not only不僅。結(jié)合“I love to be Mr. Santa in the month of June.”可知,此處用no matter which表示“不管哪個”,等同于whichever,用來解釋男人為什么在六月做圣誕老人。故選A。

13句意:也許當你提供給我一個手推車的時候,在你身體有一個隱藏的圣誕老人。

lost丟失的;frozen冷凍的;missed消失的;hidden隱藏的。根據(jù)之前作者為男人提供手推車的事可知,男人認為作者也是一個圣誕老人,只是作者不自知,因此是隱藏起來的圣誕老人。故選D。

14句意:當我們提供給食物給窮人或者給淋雨的人雨傘的時候,我們在那就是圣誕老人。

camera相機;umbrella雨傘;apple蘋果;box盒子。根據(jù)“…to someone who is caught in the rain…”可知給淋雨的人應(yīng)該提供雨傘。故選B。

15句意:我們僅僅需要意識到圣誕老人在我們周圍傳播幸福和無條件的愛。

storing儲存;facing面對;spreading傳播;increasing增加。結(jié)合上文可知,圣誕老人是給人提供幫助,給予和傳播愛的,因此用spreading表示。故選C
