20.What makes a gift special?Is it the price you see on the gift receipt?Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value?What gift is worth the most?
This Christmas I was debating what to give my father.My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything.I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked.The message was from my father.My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming.a(chǎn)nd underneath a poem by William Blake.The flower,a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky,inspired me.My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid.That may even be the reason why I love writing.I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.
I called back.I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift.I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it.As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind.The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other.I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it.The poem was focused around dreaming,and after searching I found the perfect picture.The image was painted with blues and greens and purples,twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream.As I watched both poems passing through the printer,the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood.I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.
Christmas soon arrived.The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame,I knew I had given the perfect gift.

分析 文章體裁為記敘文,主要講述作者的父親從來都沒有什么特別想要的東西,所以在圣誕節(jié)他為送父親什么禮物而糾結(jié).后來無意中看到的一個手機信息給了他靈感.他用文字配著圖片為父親制作了一個特殊的禮物,父親非常喜歡這樣一件小事,通過這件小事告訴讀者,真正有價值的禮物不在于價格,而在于是否在用心準備、是否能讓接受禮物的人truly appreciate.
解答 11.C.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第二段"I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked.The message was from my father"我拿出我的手機看短信,我媽媽說我們是去圣誕購物的時候為他我遇到了一個消息在我的手機,我已經(jīng)鎖定了,可知是這個信息里的內(nèi)容給了作者靈感,故選C.
12.A.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第二段"My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming.a(chǎn)nd underneath a poem by William Blake.The flower,a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky,inspired me"可知作者送禮物的靈感來自在Wyoming所拍攝的一張花的照片.故選A.
13.D.詞義猜測題.根據(jù)文章第三段"The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other.I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it"這首詩是埃德加•愛倫•坡寫的;我爸爸背誦和他一樣的.我輸入了和在網(wǎng)上的一個背景,可知it 指的是Edgar Allan Poe 寫的那首詩,故選D.
14.D.細節(jié)理解題.從第三段"The poem was focused around dreaming,and after searching I found the perfect picture"這首詩的焦點是夢想,那之后我找到了一個完美的圖象,可知作者制作這件禮物的過程可知作者的禮物是由文字配著圖片制成的;故選D.
15.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第一段以"What makes a gift special?"開頭,整篇講述的是用心為父親做了禮物,后來父親很喜歡.所以文章的主要目的是建議用心做禮物,故選B.
點評 考察學(xué)生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
