Question

Some time ago，a man punished his 5－year－old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping (包装) paper.

Money was tight and he became more upset when the child wasted the gold paper so as to decorate a box to put under a Christmas tree.

Nevertheless，the little girl brought the gift box to her father the next morning and said，“This is for you，Daddy.”

The father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction，but his anger flared again when he found the box empty.He spoke to her in a harsh manner，“Don't you know young lady，when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package？”

The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said，“Oh，Daddy，it is not empty.I blew kisses into it until it was full.” The father was crushed.He fell on his knees and put his arms around his little girl and he begged her to forgive his unnecessary anger.

An accident took the life of the child only a short time later and it is told that the father kept the gold box by his bed for all the years of his life and whenever he was discovered or faced difficult problems，he would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，女儿用昂贵的金色包装纸做成了盒子，并把自己对父亲的爱放在盒子里。女儿去世以后，无论何时父亲遇见了难题，都会从盒子里拿出女儿给他的吻，从女儿给他的爱中汲取解决问题的勇气。

1.推理判断题。根据文章前两段“Some time ago， a man punished his 5－year－old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping (包装) paper….Money was tight…”因为家庭经济很困难，父亲认为女儿浪费了一卷昂贵的金色的包装纸，所以他才会惩罚女儿。可知他惩罚女儿的主要原因是这卷金色的包装纸对这家人来说太贵了，不能浪费。故A项正确。

2.细节理解题。根据文章三四段“Nevertheless， the little girl brought the gift box to her father the next morning and said， “This is for you， Daddy.” The father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction”…可知当女儿把用金色的包装纸做成的礼品盒送给父亲的时候，父亲为自己的过激行为而尴尬，十分羞愧。故B项正确。

3.推理判断题。根据文章第五段“ The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said，“ Oh， Daddy， it is not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was full.” The father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his little girl and he begged her to forgive his unnecessary anger.”可知女儿告诉父亲盒子并不是空的，里面是她送给父亲的吻，父亲深受感动，跪下了祈求女儿的原谅。故C项正确。

4.推理判断题。根据本段中“…whenever he was discovered or faced difficult problems， he would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.”可知无论何时父亲遇见了难题，都会从盒子里拿出女儿给他的吻，从女儿给他的爱中汲取解决问题的勇气。本段告诉我们女儿给父亲的爱帮助父亲战胜了很多困难，对父亲意义重大。故B项正确。
