Question

The day was like any other day in his life, Tom walked past the shop on the street corner. He stopped to look at the front row of shoes, and he felt happy to see that the pair of shoes he wanted very much was still there. Looking down, he felt sorry for himself. He really wanted to have them for his birthday.

He sadly walked away and thought how to tell his mother about it. He knew she would give him anything he liked if she could. But he also knew very well she had little money. He decided not to go home at once, as he looked worried and his mother would notice (注意)it. So he went to the park and sat on the grass. Then he saw a boy in a wheel chair (轮椅) . He noticed that the boy moved the wheel with his hands. Tom looked at him carefully and was surprised to see the boy have no feet. He looked at his own feet. “It's much better to be without shoes than without feet, ”he thought. There was no reason (理由) for him to feel so sorry and sad. He went away and smiled, thinking he was happier

试题分析：这篇短文给我们讲述的是Tom非常喜欢一双鞋，但是他知道他的妈妈没有多少钱给他买，他非常理解妈妈，为了不让妈妈看出他担心的样子，他先去了公园。结果在那里他看到了一个没有脚的孩子，他觉得自己跟那个孩子比起来要幸运多了。

1.A 细节理解题。根据短文的开头Tom walked past the shop on the street corner可知，Tom走路经过了街道拐角处的一个商店。walk散步，走路，故选A，on foot 步行。

2.B 细节理解题。根据短文中He stopped to look at the front row of shoes, and he felt happy to see that the pair of shoes he wanted very much was still there可知，Tom停下来去看一双鞋，他非常想要这双鞋，他很高兴这双鞋还在那儿。由此可知选B。

3.D 细节理解题。根据短文中He stopped to look at the front row of shoes, and he felt happy to see that the pair of shoes he wanted very much was still there可知，Tom喜欢的那双鞋还在那儿，故选D。文章中并没有告诉我们这双鞋贵还是便宜，故A和B不对。
