Question

【題目】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, and 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 creamcolored 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.

【解析】什么樣的禮物最特別？本文以自己給父親的禮物這一過程告訴了我們答案。關(guān)鍵這一禮物是用心準(zhǔn)備的。

【1】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段，特別是第七句話可知，在俄亥俄州照的那朵花的照片給了“我”靈感。故選A。

【2】D詞義猜測題。此處it指代前面的Edgar Allan Poe寫的詩。故選D。

【3】D推理判斷題。由第二段最后一句話可知，“我”給父親的禮物要把那首詩寫進(jìn)去；由第三段可知，“我”把那朵花發(fā)送到“我”的電腦上，然后把那首詩打在了圖片上；在安排一些細(xì)節(jié)時(shí)，“我”又想起了一首詩，“我”把這首詩也打在了上面；最后給這一圖片找了比較相稱的背景。所以“我”是把兩首詩和一幅圖組合在了一起。故選D。

做閱讀推理判斷題時(shí)，首先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。在進(jìn)行推理時(shí)，考生一定要仔細(xì)閱讀短文，千萬不可脫離原文而僅憑個(gè)人的看法，主觀臆斷。其次，對于暗含在文章中的人物的行為動(dòng)機(jī)、事件的因果關(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。本題第3小題，由第二段最后一句話可知，“我”給父親的禮物要把那首詩寫進(jìn)去；由第三段可知，“我”把那朵花發(fā)送到“我”的電腦上，然后把那首詩打在了圖片上；在安排一些細(xì)節(jié)時(shí)，“我”又想起了一首詩，“我”把這首詩也打在了上面；最后給這一圖片找了比較相稱的背景。所以“我”是把兩首詩和一幅圖組合在了一起。故選D。
