20.One spring,when I was 10,during one of my father's layoffs,I could tell my mother was
unhappy.I decided to cheer her up by buying her a special Mother's Day gift.
One day after school I rode my bike to the Agins,which,I learned years later,was known for its high-end fashions and style.I introduced myself to Sylvia Agins,telling her I was looking for a Mother's Day present.
"Do you think she'd like a purse?"she asked."I think she might."I told her.
She took out an Italian purse made of leather.She asked me what I thought,and I told her that my mom would like it.
"How much money do you have?"she asked.
"Twelve dollars,"I said.
"You're in luck,"she told me."It's only﹩11.You have a dollar left over for the card."She wrapped the purse and thanked me for my business,and I rode off home with the package under my arm.
    When my mother opened the gift the next Sunday morning,she asked in an accusing tone,"Where did you get this?"
"I bought it at the Agins.It cost me﹩11."I said.
My mother was shocked into silence.
It wasn't until many years 1ater,when I learned that the purse was worth several hundred dollars,that I appreciated just how wonderful Sylvia Agins had been to me.I always felt regretful  that I never had a chance to properly thank her.
"You know,my son,what really amazes me to this day,"my mother said."Letting you have the purse for just a few dollars was unbelievable enough.But the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch of kindness that I'll never forget."

分析 文章講述了作者10歲時(shí)為了讓因父親失業(yè)而不高興的媽媽快樂起來,我給媽媽買母親節(jié)禮物的故事.Sylvia Agins是善良又體貼的,幾百美元的包賣給作者11美元,剩下1美元還給他放在卡里,這件事讓作者和他媽媽很感動,終身難忘.

解答 56.C推理題,根據(jù)第一段中"I decided to cheer her up by buying her a special Mother's Day gift."我決定給她買一個(gè)特別的母親節(jié)禮物使她振作起來.可知作者想讓他的母親高興,故選C.
57.B推理題,根據(jù)文章中""I bought it at the Agins.It cost me $11."I said.My mother was shocked into silence"我說:"我在Sylvia Agins店里買的.花了我11 美元."我媽媽震驚了陷入沉默.前文中說那里是高端時(shí)尚風(fēng)格的代表,后文中又說那個(gè)包值幾百美元,但只收了作者11美元,這令他的母親很震驚.故選B.
58.C推斷題.閱讀全文可知Sylvia Agins幾百美元的女包只賣給想給媽媽買母親節(jié)禮物的10歲時(shí)的作者11美元,還給他張卡,由此可知是善良又體貼的.故選B.
59.D考查文章的標(biāo)題.根據(jù)文章的整體內(nèi)容可知,文章主要講述了為了使母親高興,我給母親買母親節(jié)禮物的故事,文章突出了難忘的禮物.所以,一件無價(jià)的母親節(jié)禮物是最好的標(biāo)題.故選D.

點(diǎn)評 在閱讀時(shí)要抓住文章的主題和細(xì)節(jié),分析文章結(jié)構(gòu),根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)在聯(lián)系,挖掘文章的深層含義,對于暗含在文章中的人物的行為動機(jī),事件中的因果關(guān)系及作者未言明的傾向、意圖、態(tài)度、觀點(diǎn)等要進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的判斷、推理、分析,進(jìn)一步增強(qiáng)理解能力,抓住材料實(shí)質(zhì)性的東西.

11.A new study suggests that early exposure to germs(細(xì)菌) strengthens the immune(免疫的)system.That means letting children get a little dirty might be good for their health later in life.
The study involved laboratory mice.It found that adult mice raised in a germ-free environment were more likely to develop allergies.a(chǎn)sthma and other autoimmune disorders. There are more than eighty disorders where cells that normally defend the body instead attack tissues and organs.
Richard Blumberg,who led the study,is a professor at'Harvard Medical School in Boston,Massachusetts.He says,in 1989,medical researchers who sought to explain these diseases,first discovered that the increasing use of antibacterial soaps and other products,especially early in life,could weaken immune systems.
Now,Dr.Blumberg and his team have what is the first biological evidence to link early exposure to germs to stronger adult immune systems.They say this exposure could prevent the development of some autoimmune diseases.
In the adult germ-free mice,they found that inflammation(發(fā)炎)in the lungs and colon was caused by so-called killer T cells.These normally fight infection.But they became overactive and targeted healthy tissue-an autoimmune condition seen in asthma and a disease called ulcerative colitis.
Dr,Blumberg says the mice raised in a normal environment did not have the same reaction.He says their immune systems had been"educated"by early exposure to germs.
Rates of autoimmune disorders are rising worldwide,but mostly in wealthier,industrialized countries.According to Dr.Blumberg,it might be high time that people were warned to be more careful with the early use of antibiotics(抗生素) and the prescription from their doctors.
Rob Dunn is a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at North Carolina State University in Raleigh.He says the new study does not mean people should stop washing."Wash your hands,but don't do it with antibacterial soap.Let your kids play in a reasonable amount of dirt and get outside and get exposed to a diversity of things",says Rob Dunn.
71.Who first found immune systems might get harmed by overly using antibacterial products?C
A.A professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.
B.A professor at Harvard Medical School in Boston.
C.Medical researchers who tried to explain autoimmune disorders.
D.Medical researchers who tried to treat autoimmune disorders.
72.To keep healthy in the future,children had betterA.
A.play in a dirty environment once in a while
B.live in a germ-free endronrnent
C.use plenty of antibacterial soaps
D.stay in under developed countries
73.Why are germ-free mice easy to develop lung inflanunation?B
A.Because their T celh fight bacteria effectively.
B.Because their T cells attack the healthy tissues.
C.Because their lungs become abnormally active.
D.Because their lungs have weaker tissues.
74.It can be inferred from the text thatD.
A.washing hands is no longer a good habit for children
B.a(chǎn)ntibiotics will be forbidden in children's hospitals
C.exposure to dirt helps build children's character
D.the abuse of antibiotics may be condemned
75.Where does this text most probably come from?C
A.A teacher's handbook.     B.A story book.
C.A science magazine.       D.A travel journal.
