As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fadeor so we thought, as she didn39。t mention it again. We bought the latest fashionable Baby Sitter39。s Club dolls, a holiday dress and some beautiful story books. Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she proudly announced that she really wanted a bike more than anything else. It was just too late, what with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying lastminute gifts. We could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child. What if I make a little bicycle out of clay and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike? Her dad asked. The theory, of course, being that since that is a highticket item and she is such a big girl, it would be much better for her to pick it out. So he spent the next five hours painstakingly working with clay to make a tiny bike. Three hours later, on Christmas morning, we were excited for Rose to open the little heartshaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud. She looked at me and then at her dad and said, so does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one? Beaming, I said, Yes. Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I39。d rather keep this than get a real bike. At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!（1）Rose39。s parents didn39。t buy her the bike she wanted because ______.

A.Rose39。s father was an artist with special skillsB.Rose would trade in the clay bike for a real oneC.The parents were moved and proud of the girlD.Rose was a thoughtful and independent girl【答案】 （1）B（2）B（3）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，Rose希望圣誕節(jié)收到一輛自行車。父母沒有給她買自行車，因為他們認為Rose可能對自行車失去了興趣，為了滿足女兒的愿望，爸爸決定給她做個粘土的自行車讓她去換個新的，但是Rose決定保留這個粘土自行車，不要新的自行車。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fadeor so we thought, as she didn39。t mention it ，作者夫妻倆認為Rose買自行車的愿望褪去了，所以沒給她買。故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的We could onl
