Question

Dear Disney,

Last weekend, the four members of my family spent an enjoyable holiday at the Magic Kingdom - Disneyland. And one event made our visit seem truly magical.

We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain, only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn't take her ice-cream on the ride. We were so excited that we all forgot ice-cream was not allowed on the ride.

Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do. Then Murphy, one of the staff(员工) members, came over. She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice-cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride. Gloria said, "Promise?" Then she gave Murphy her ice-cream, and she completely enjoyed the ride.

Sure enough, as we walked out the exit, there was Gloria's new friend with "her" ice-cream. Now you and I both know what happened, because we know that an ice-cream won't last twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida. Murphy knew what time we would get off the ride; she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand-new ice-cream thirty seconds before we walked out the exit. Gloria said, "Thank you," but I'm sure she thought it was the same ice-cream.

We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special. Thanks so much for going above and beyond! 

Your fan,                                                                Carmen Rivera

试题分析：这篇短文是去迪斯尼乐园游玩的游客写的一封感谢信。Carmen Rivera 一家在迪斯尼游玩时，并不知道不能拿着冰淇淋去玩太空飞车，这时迪斯尼的一名工作人员主动要帮助他们。Carmen Rivera知道在夏天冰淇淋肯定很快就会化了，是那名工作人员重新买了一个新的冰淇淋。Carmen Rivera对此表示感谢。

1.细节理解题。根据文中We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain, only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn't take her ice-cream on the ride可知，不能拿着冰淇淋去玩太空飞车，所以他们的小女儿哭了。故选C。

2.细节理解题。根据文中as we walked out the exit, there was Gloria's new friend with "her" ice-cream 当我们走出出口，Gloria的新朋友拿着冰淇淋在等着她。这里的新朋友指的就是Murphy，迪斯尼的工作人员。故选B。

3.细节理解题。根据文中Murphy knew what time we would get off the ride; she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand-new ice-cream thirty seconds before we walked out the exit可知在夏天，冰淇淋很快就会化了，是Murphy又重新买了一个，在出口处等着我们。故选D。

4.词意猜测题。因为本文就是告诉了我们作者一家在迪斯尼乐园受到了Murphy的帮助，所以这里的someone 指的就是Murphy。故选A。

5.主旨大意题。这篇短文主要说的就是Carmen Rivera因为在迪斯尼乐园受到帮助而写的一封感谢信，所以答案为C。
