46、 marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 【知识模块】 阅读 1 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 文中第二段说： “从小女孩那里拿走书或别的什么东西就如同从一个婴儿那里拿走糖果一样 ” 我们知道，从一个婴儿那里拿走糖果就会伤了婴儿的感情。由此我们可以推断出，小女孩的书被拿走，她同样会 产生这种感觉。 【知识模块】 阅读 2 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 文中第二段第一句说： “ 但是小女孩的

47、父亲 had his way，罗伯特得到了她的书。 ”从罗伯特得到了小女孩的书这一结果，我们可以推断出她的父亲做了他想做的事情。所以选项 D正确。 【知识模块】 阅读 3 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 文中第二段写道，当父亲将两本书送给罗伯特后，他对小女孩说：“After all， that leaves you with nine ”小女孩把父亲的书送人后，也对她的父亲说 了同样的话，这句话表明了她对父亲的态度，即以牙还牙。另外，单从四个选项中也不难判断选项 C表明了她对父亲的态度。因为选项 A、 B都是描述事实的，没有表示语气态度的词，而选项 D谈及的又不是小女孩的父亲。 【知识模块】

48、阅读 4 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 文中第二段第二句说： “ 认为他是一位哲学家和儿童心理学家，在此问题上不能闭上他那愚蠢的大嘴。 ”结合最后小女孩的做法及对父亲的态度，我们可知他并不了解女儿的心理，他的理论和做法都是错误的。所以选项 C正确。 【知识模块】 阅读 5 【 正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 这是一道主旨题。文中第四段都是小女孩对她的父亲说的话，由此我们可以推断出，父亲曾为四本书的事问过女儿。可见父亲也不愿意将自己的书送给别人，而他却要求女儿这样做，所以自己也得到了同样的结局。由此可以看出，选项 B就是这个故事想告诉我们的道理。 【知识模块】 阅读 【知识模块】 阅读 6 【正
