Question

Christmas was coming and my ten-year-old Alice told her father and me that she wanted a new bike.  Her bike was too   1  , and it needed repairing as well.

As Christmas   2 ,  her dream for a bike seemed to disappear, we thought, for she didn't say it again. We were busy  3  some beautiful story books, a doll house, a holiday dress and toys. Then to our surprise, on December 24, she said she really wanted a bike more than   4 .

Now we didn't know   5  to do. It was just too late. We were busy with Christmas dinner and packing  6  presents, parents' presents, a brother's present and friends' presents till midnight. So there was   7  time to take to buy the "right hike" for our little girl. Thinking we were parents who would make their child unhappy, we felt sorry and   8 .

Suddenly my husband had an idea. "What about making a little bike with clay (黏土) and writing a note that she could trade in (交換) the model bike for a real one?" So he spent the next five hours carefully __9__ with clay to make a small bike.

  10  Christmas morning, we were so excited for Alice to open the little box with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. She opened and read the   11  loudly. She looked at me and said, "So, does this mean I can trade in this bike for a real  12 _?" Smiling, I said, "Yes!" Alice had tears in her eyes when she replied, "I would  13  trade in this beautiful bike Daddy made me. I __14 _ keep it than get a real bike. This is the best Christmas present   15  I have ever got in my life!"

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文中描述了一對忙碌的父母因為忽視了以前表達(dá)過的愿望，沒有準(zhǔn)備好圣誕禮物，而臨時想出了一個好主意來解決這個問題。結(jié)果因此讓女兒深受感動，取得了意想不到的效果。

1.聯(lián)系上下文，可知此處指的是她的自行車舊了，故選B，舊的。

2.聯(lián)系下文，可知此處指的是隨著圣誕節(jié)臨近，故選A，走近，臨近。

3.考察短語be busy doing忙著做某事，故選D，我們忙著買一些……。

4.不定代詞辨析。something一些東西，一般用于肯定句及表示請求建議等含義的疑問句中；anything也是表示一些東西，任何東西，一般用于否定及疑問句中。Else做修飾詞一般放在被修飾詞的后面。結(jié)合語境可知此處指的是她真的想要一輛自行車，而不是別的任何東西。故選B。

5.聯(lián)系后一句描述，可知我們不知道該做什么。故選A，什么。

6.聯(lián)系下文描述，可知此處指的是忙著準(zhǔn)備孩子們的禮物，故選B，孩子們的。

7.聯(lián)系前一句描述，可知此處指的是我們沒有時間，故選B，沒有。

8.聯(lián)系前文描述，可知此處指的是我們很傷心，故選C，傷心的。

9.spend用于sb spend...on sth或者sb spend...in doing sth（in可以省略），spend的主語必須是人，可以指花費時間、也可以指花費金錢；故選C。

10.介詞辨析。在表示時間時,in表示在一個時間范圍;at表示在具體時刻;on表示在具體某一天.for后面接一段時間。聯(lián)系下文Christmas morning,可知此處指的是在具體的某一天，故選B。

11.聯(lián)系前文描述，可知此處指的是她大聲地閱讀這個便條，故選C，便條。

12.詞義辨析。A. 泛指任何同名不同物的一個；B. 多個；C. 一些；D. 任何一個。結(jié)合語境可知此處指的是任何一輛自行車，故選A。

13.聯(lián)系下文描述，可知此處指的是，我永遠(yuǎn)不會用這個父親做的漂亮的自行車交易。故選C，永遠(yuǎn)不。

14.動詞辨析。A. 打算，將要；B.愿意，想要；C. 最好；D. 寧愿。結(jié)合語境可知此處指的是，我寧愿要它而不是一輛真的自行車。故選D。

15.考察定語從句。先行詞the best Christmas present 為下文定語從句的邏輯賓語，指物，故引導(dǎo)詞用that，選D。

考點：關(guān)于一件圣誕禮物的記述文

點評：這篇短文內(nèi)容比較簡單，理解不難。各小題與上下文聯(lián)系比較緊密，答題中一定要注意聯(lián)系上下文。答完后多讀幾遍，看看是否符合邏輯，適當(dāng)修改。個別小題可以當(dāng)作單獨的詞義辨析題來做，先區(qū)分詞義，結(jié)合語境選出最能使語句通順的答案。
