高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
Last Christmas, when I was in the fourth grade and my brother was in the first grade, our school held its yearly Holiday Shop. At the Holiday Shop students can buy things like necklaces, key chains, and other small items for their friends and family as Christmas gifts. Since my brother really wanted to take part, my mom gave him two dollars to buy his Christmas gifts.
My mom didn’t know that he had picked out a special necklace for her. When he got home from the Holiday Shop that day, he couldn’t wait to show it to me. He pulled out a little green box and opened it. Inside was a gold chain with a little red flower and a man-made diamond next to gold letters that spelled out,“Grandmother”.
“Wow,” I said.“It’s beautiful.” Since my brother was in the first grade and was just learning to read, he didn’t realize that the necklace said “Grandmother” instead of “Mother”. I knew that on Christmas morning, when he found out he had bought the wrong necklace, he would be very unhappy, so I said nothing more about it. My brother ran and put the necklace under his bed to hide it from Mom until Christmas morning.
When he wasn’t looking, I took the necklace and put it in my backpack. The next day I took it back to school and asked the woman who ran the Holiday Shop if I could change it for the “Mother” necklace. She said yes. When I got home that day, I put the necklace under my brother’s bed.
When my mom opened it up on Christmas morning, my brother was so exalted! My mom’s eyes were filled with joy. She knew what had happened, which made the necklace even more special to her!
My brother still does not know what I did, but I knew I had done the right thing.
1.What do we know about the gift the author’s brother bought
A. The author didn’t like it.
B. It wasn’t worth the price.
C. It was designed for Mother.
D. The author changed it for another one.
2.The underlined word “exalted” is the closest in meaning to “______”.
A. amazed B. disappointed
C. excited D. worried
3.It can be inferred from the text that _____.
A. the author’s mother didn’t know what she had done
B. the author helped her brother secretly
C. the author’s grandma also received a gift
D. the author paid for the right necklace

The family had four daughters who were all in the same school in different grades. The youngest, Janice, who was in my class, seemed to be glued to her mother’s skirt. The three older girls took the bus to school every morning, but Janice was always driven to school by her mother.
One Friday, Janice’s mother came to the school and had a talk with me. She said in a soft voice, “My husband is going to Europe on business for two weeks, and he insists that I go with him. I have tried to explain over and over that Janice needs me here. But he thinks that she will be fine without me so I have no choice, I have to go. I have told the babysitter to drive her every morning. Will you please give Janice special attention and help her? I want to be sure everything goes well for her.”
I told her that we would make every effort to support Janice. I even volunteered to meet Janice at her car so she would see a familiar face. As a mother myself, I’d like to help. Janice’s mother thanked me for our understanding.
On Monday morning, expecting a tearful, anxious child, I planned a special program of fun and games. I waited outside to greet Janice, but just then the bus arrived and not three, but four girls got off. Janice skipped along joyfully, saying “goodbye” to her sisters as she ran with two friends into the classroom and called Janice over to ask how the bus ride went. Impatiently she said, “Oh, I always want to take the bus with the other kids, but Mother needs to be with me. You see there won’t be any more babies, so I have to be a baby a little longer. While she is away, I’ll just ride the bus every day. I am five, you know.”
1.Janice’s mother came to the school to ________.
A.say goodbye B.find fault
C.ask for a favor D.seek a sympathetic ear
2.How did Janice feel on Monday morning?
A.Curious. B.Delighted.
C.Anxious. D.Annoyed.
3.What can we learn from the text?
A.Janice is no longer a child.
B.Janice doesn’t like her babysitter.
C.Janice prefers to go to school by bus.
D.Janice appreciates the author’s understanding.
