27、1.C细节理解题。根据第二段中“He left his home with a light heart,and expected to buy the books.”可知,汤米希望从他母亲那里得到钱后能买一些漂亮的书。故选C项。2.A细节理解题。根据第三段中“The man again shook his head,for he could not understand or speak his language.”可知,汤米跟这个可怜的人说话时他摇头是因为他不明白这个男孩的意思。故选A项。3.B推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Be always ready to help others and
28、every Christmas of your life will become to you a Merry Christmas.”可知,作者试图鼓励我们随时准备帮助别人。故选B项。4.A细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Oh,my dear boy, said his mother,here are some books for you,more as a prize for your goodness of heart than as a Christmas gift.”可知,汤米因为他的善良得到了奖励。故选A项。5.C推理判断题。根据第一段的“Smaller bits of particl
