Question

Christmas Eve was tomorrow. I hoped one of the packages that held a camera had already been placed under the Christmas tree. It was the only thing I wanted. I had been dropping hints to my parents. I love taking photos. My bedroom walls are covered with photos I had taken with my mom’s old camera. I’m always trying to capture (捕捉) those perfect moments in which you can hear the laughter or touch the beautiful scene, but my camera has always seemed to fall short.

I knew Mom had put a few presents under the tree this morning, so I went on a hunt in my mom’s room. I opened the door and found my Christmas present was lying unwrapped on the floor — a big pink cat. I felt so disappointed.

Mom seemed to notice that, and she tried to cheer me up. “Stacy, I got your present today. I am so excited to surprise you!” “I can’t wait,” I said.

The next day I couldn’t wait any longer. I needed to tell her.

“Mom, may I talk to you for a second?”

“Sure, dear. What do you need to talk about?” she asked.

And so it came — how upset I was that I was getting a cat.

“Stacy, that cat is for your sister Julia!” she said with a smile.

“Then what am I getting?” I asked.

She just smiled. “You’ll have to wait and see.”

Next morning, I happily got into the living room and sat next to the tree. I pulled out the box with my name on it and opened the wrapping paper to find ...

My camera! “Thank you!” I said to both Dad and Mom.

Dad picked up the camera and took a picture of Julia, Mom and me. It has become one of my favorite pictures. Just on that Christmas morning, I took lots of photos with my camera — my little sister making a face, my parents giving me a soft smile — and all of these photos have come to mean one thing to me: love.

【解析】

試題分析：本文敘述Stacy在圣誕節(jié)時(shí)想要一個(gè)禮物就是一部相機(jī)，可一次偶然的機(jī)會他看見了父母還沒有來得及包裝的禮物—粉紅的小貓玩具，他誤認(rèn)為是父母給他的禮物，他很失望，結(jié)果等到打開禮物時(shí)，一看是自己想要的相機(jī)，高興極了，于是他給他的家人拍了許多照片，他感覺他收到了父母的愛。

1.這是詞義猜測題。dropping hints暗示；根據(jù)上下文可知作者一直想要一個(gè)相機(jī)，總是暗示父母他的愿望，故選B。

2.這是細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)I opened the door and found my Christmas present was lying unwrapped on the floor — a big pink cat. I felt so disappointed.他把給他的妹妹的禮物當(dāng)成是給自己的，因?yàn)樗�先要的是相機(jī)而他看到的是一只粉紅色的小貓玩具，所以他很失望，故選C。

3.這是細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)She just smiled. “You’ll have to wait and see.” 他的母親笑著說的，可知母親知道他想要什么禮物，故選B。

4.這是概括大意題。根據(jù)I took lots of photos with my camera — my little sister making a face, my parents giving me a soft smile — and all of these photos have come to mean one thing to me: love.故選A。

5.這是標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)整篇短文的大意主要圍繞禮物而展開的，故選A。

考點(diǎn)：這是故事類的文章。

點(diǎn)評：文章標(biāo)題是文章的點(diǎn)睛之筆。標(biāo)題歸納題在英語閱讀理解題中屬深層理解題，它要求考生在通讀全文的基礎(chǔ)上，準(zhǔn)確把握文章大意及作者的寫作意圖。一般說來，標(biāo)題應(yīng)該具有概括性、針對性、簡潔性三個(gè)突出特點(diǎn)。
