2、 it is. ”What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it! One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it.

3、 Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”， “pitiful”， and “dying”， which sounded ominous. Christmas was coming. “Don't expect any presents this year，” Dad said, pointing

A细节理解题。虽然表面上是有了一个娃娃，但事实上是有了亲弟弟。2. D词义猜测题。从该句前半部分中的 “hopeless”， “pitiful”， and “dying”可知该词意思是“令人害怕的”。虽然其他三个词均表示消极含义，但只有fe

9、arful表示“我”害怕“弟弟”离“我”而去。3. C推理判断题。从第四段最后两句As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. Id never seen him cry before.可知父亲感到十分伤心。4. C主旨大意题。第一段一开始便定义我的弟弟Richard是一件特殊的圣诞礼物。虽然弟弟Richard差点离我们而去，但后来还是得以平安回家，因此圣诞节并不悲惨。B和D选项外延过大，此段材料只是截取生活中的一个片段，并非整个和Richard一起生活的全部。阅读理解。I believe that my country, Poland, is a perf
