Question

Sally was a student. It was going to be her mother’s birthday. She wanted to buy her a gift that would be nice and useful but not expensive.

A week before her mother’s birthday， she went shopping after a quick and simple lunch. When she had been looking for half an hour， she found a shop that was selling cheap umbrellas， and decided to take a black one， since her mother had lost hers the month before.

She thought， “You could carry that when you are wearing clothes of any color.” So she decided to buy a lovely black umbrella and took it back to school with her until her classes had finished.

On her way back home in the train that evening， she felt hungry because she had such a small lunch that she went along to the buffet car（餐车） for another sandwich and cup of coffee. She had left the black umbrella above her seat in the compartment（车厢）， but when she got back， it had gone! When she had left the compartment， there had been no other passengers in it， but now there were three.

Sally began to cry when she saw that the umbrella was no longer there. The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what the matter was. She told them that the black umbrella she had bought for her mother was gone， and that she had to get out at the next station. After the three other passengers heard it， they asked her for her mother’s address so that they could sent the umbrella to her if someone had taken it by mistake and brought it back after Sally had got out of the train.

The next week， Sally heard from her mother. It said， “Thank you very much for your lovely gifts， but why did you send me three black umbrellas?”

【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：小女孩萨利买了一把黑伞作为妈妈的生日礼物，就在坐火车回家的路上，这把雨伞忽然间不见了，萨利伤心地哭起来，得知这一真相后，三名乘客询问了小女孩妈妈的地址，以便于有人拿错了伞，送来之后好及时寄回去。结果一周后，萨利的妈妈却收到了三把黑色的雨伞。

1.C句意猜测题。划线部分的本意是：你穿任何颜色的衣服都可以拿着这把伞，可以理解为这种颜色能容易得搭配大部分的衣服。故答案为C。

2.C推理判断题。根据短文的内容可知，小女孩在说出雨伞不见的真相时，车厢里只有三个人，结合“they asked her for her mother’s address so that they could sent the umbrella to her if someone had taken it by mistake and brought it back after Sally had got out of the train.”，也只有这三名乘客知道小女孩妈妈的地址，因此可以推测，雨伞是他们三个送的。答案为C。

3.C细节理解题。根据短文最后的句子“Thank you very much for your lovely gifts， but why did you send me three black umbrellas?”可知，萨利的妈妈收到了三把雨伞。答案为C。

4.B 标题归纳题。故事情节围绕生日礼物“一把黑色的雨伞展开”，雨伞在萨利坐火车回家的路上忽然间不见了，运用The Missing Umbrella作为标题，引人入胜，同时还能制造悬念，故B答案更好些。

5.B主旨大意题。萨利买了一把黑伞作为妈妈的生日礼物，向妈妈献爱心，当雨伞丢失后，好心的三名乘客不约而同地送了三把伞，帮助小女孩完成的心愿，小女孩也收到别人的关爱。故答案为B。
