11.A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present.On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office,a street urchin (頑童)was walking around the shining car."Is this your car,Paul?"he asked.
Paul answered,"Yes,my brother gave it to me for Christmas."The boy was surprised."You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you nothing?Boy,I wish…"He hesitated(猶豫).
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for.He was going to wish he had a brother like that.But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
"I wish,"the boy went on,"that I could be a brother like that."Paul looked at the boy in surprise,then he said again,"Would you like to take a ride in my car?"
"Oh yes,I'd love that."
After a short ride,the boy turned and with his eyes shining,said,"Paul,would you mind driving in front of my house?"
Paul smiled a little.He thought he knew what the boy wanted.He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car.But Paul was wrong again."Will you stop where those two steps are?the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps.Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back,but he was not coming fast.He was carrying his little crippled (殘疾的)brother.He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
"There she is,Buddy,just like I told you upstairs.His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent.And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about."
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

分析 本文講述了一個小男孩在看到Paul的哥哥送給他的新車之后,從內心引發(fā)的對自己殘疾的弟弟的愛憐.他希望自己以后能送一輛車給自己的弟弟,讓他能夠自己去發(fā)現世界的美.
解答 56.B 細節(jié)理解題.根據第2段中的 Paul answered,"Yes,my brother gave it to me for Christmas."The boy was surprised.Paul告訴了男孩子有關于車的事,這個孩子感到非常驚訝,可知答案為B.
57.A 細節(jié)理解題.根據文章內容The urchin 指著 Paul 的車對他的弟弟說:"And someday I'm going to give you one just like it…"所以 the urchin 希望也能給他弟弟一輛車,故答案為A.
58.D 細節(jié)理解題.根據文章內容 He was carrying his little crippled brother.以及Buddy,some day I am going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.The urchin 要 Paul 把車停在他家門前后,立即扶著他殘疾的弟弟出來,讓他看看Paul的車,然后告訴弟弟他想為他做的事,所以他只是想告訴他弟弟他的愿望.再結合選項,答案為D.
59.B 細節(jié)理解題,通讀全文,我們不得不為 The urchin 的行為所感動,他是一個好哥哥.文章就是講述了他這樣的一位好哥哥,B選項最合適.
60.C 主旨大意題,頑童讓Paul把車停在他們房子前面,目的是讓哥哥看看那輛車,有朝一日,Paul的弟弟一樣給他買輛車作為禮物,故選C.
