This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it. When I was married in 1970, my husband, who had heard this story, obtained a 1937 crown coin for me and I have always kept it in my wallet, and I have always had enough for my needs. A friend recently fell on hard times, partly through external (外部的) circumstances and partly through poor planning. Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, given her food, and even tried to teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression. Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless, very sad for a friend to see and I then thought about how the crown coin, a physical reminder of another39。s care and love had protected me, so I went to the bank for a $ 100 dollarbill. I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $ 100 in the back of her wallet. It turned out that she didn39。t have a wallet, so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins. She immediately felt better—I feel rich, and thank you for being a good friend, she said, and we were both a bit teary. I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I39。d never used, and thought, I39。ll give that to my friend. I opened it, and inside, found $ 100.(1)What did the 1937 crown coin from the author39。s father mean to her mother? A.His concern for her.B.His pity and protection for her.C.His care and love for her.D.His pride and respect for her.(2)Where did the author39。s friend keep the $ 100 dollarbill? A.In the back of her wallet.B.In a little pencil case.C.In the pocket of her raincoat.D.In the layer of her suitcase.(3)What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.The author became rich all of a sudden.B.The author39。s friend would receive a wallet as a gift.C.The author39。s friend was not touched by her story.D.The author felt unfortable when receiving the bill.(4)What can be the best title for the text? A.A crown coinB.The help to a friendC.A hard lifeD.A gift from my father【答案】 (1)C(2)B(3)B(4)A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文,父母結(jié)婚時,父親送給母親一枚1937年的王冠硬幣,讓母親時刻感到他的關(guān)心和愛,作者結(jié)婚時,丈夫也送她一枚王冠硬幣,然后作者又運用這枚王冠硬幣的影響(代表了另一個人的關(guān)心和愛)送給一個經(jīng)濟(jì)困難的朋友一張百元紙幣放在錢包里保護(hù)她。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it.可知,結(jié)婚時父親送給母親一枚1937年王冠硬幣意味著母親總會覺得父親在保護(hù)自己,并且需要錢時,她總會有錢,也就說這枚硬幣代表了父親對母親的關(guān)
