2. Where did the friendly lady live?

A. She lived at the end of Northumberland Road.

B. Her address was 5104 Northumberland Road.

C. She was thought to share a house with Mr. Kelly.

D. The author was not sure about her address at all.

1. How many Christmas gifts did the author intend to send?

   A. Nine.         B. Eight.           C. Ten.               D. Eleven.

4. B 推理判断。根据Mathew的来信的第一句可判断最佳答案为B。

【考场秘招】根据事实进行推理和判断的能力是高考能力考查的范围之一。Matthew来信的第一句为：My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me.，由此我们可以推断，在那次见面以后，作者曾给Matthew寄过照片，换言之“他们保持着联系”。

【押题4】I moved into a new house in July. Since then I have met a few of my neighbors who are very nice people. For Christmas, I thought I would do something nice for each of the neighbors I know. There were nine neighbors whom I knew by name or spoke with often when I was out in my yard. I knew which houses they lived in.

I decided to add one more to my list. This lady I decided to add lives down the street from me. I meet her every morning walking to work as I drive down the street. She always smiles to me. But I had no idea who she was and which house she lived in.

I planned to make small fruit baskets and leave them on my neighbor's front porches(门廊) on Christmas Eve. I signed the cards: "Happy Holidays from 5104 Northumberland Road."

I saved the last for the friendly lady. I finally decided on a house where I met her each morning and guessed that it was hers.

My neighbors really appreciated the baskets and would tell me as they saw me in the yard or they would call, and a couple even came by to thank me.

This morning I found a small note in the mailbox. It was addressed simply: Resident, 5104 Northumberland Road.

The Thank You card really caught me by surprise. I opened it and read the message, "Thank you for the lovely fruit basket you left on our porch. It was very thoughtful. Richard Kelly passed away last week. He talked a lot about how nice it was that someone remembered him in his time of illness. He really appreciated it."

I had no idea who Richard Kelly was and that he had been seriously ill. I had left that nice lady's basket on his porch by mistake. I wanted to say sorry, but that would be wrong. I believe that Mr. Kelly was meant to have that basket because he was dying. I hate that the nice lady did not get to receive a fruit basket on Christmas, but I believe if she knew what had happened, she would be happy. I feel pleased to have helped Richard Kelly's last days be more cheerful.

3. D推理判断。 在第四段中，Matthew说，他将来自己要夺取金牌，让作者看看。可见Matthew的自尊心非常强，他不愿意被别人同情。

(三)布袋莲

    ①七年前我租住在木栅一间仓库改成的小木屋，木屋虽矮虽破，却因风景无比优美而觉得饶有情趣。

    ②每日清晨我开窗向远望去，首先看见的是种植在窗边的累累木瓜树，再往前是一棵高大的榕树，榕树下有一片栽植了蔬菜和鲜花的田园，菜园与花圃围绕起来的是一个大约

有半亩地的小湖，不论春夏秋冬，总有房东喂养的鸭鹅在其中嬉戏。   

    ③我每日在好风好景的窗口写作，疲倦了只要抬头望一望窗外，总觉得胸中顿时一片

清朗。

    ④我最喜欢的是小湖一角长满了青翠的布袋莲，布袋莲据说是一种繁殖力强的低贱

水生植物，有水的地方随便一丢，它就长出来了，而且长得繁茂强健。布袋莲的造型真是美，它的根部是一个圆形的球茎，绿的颜色中有许多层次，它的叶子也很奇特，圆弧似的卷起，好像小孩仰着头望着天空吹着小喇叭。

⑤有时候，我会捞几朵布袋莲放在我的书桌上，它失去了水，往往还能绿很长的一段时间，而且它的萎谢也不像一般植物，它是由绿转黄，然后慢慢干去，格外惹人怜爱。

 ⑥后来，我住处附近搬来一位邻居，他养了几只羊，他的羊不知道为什么喜欢吃榕树的叶子，每天他都要折下一大把榕树叶去喂羊。到最后，他干脆把羊绑在榕树下，爬到树

上摘榕叶，才短短几个星期，榕树叶全部被摘光了，剩下光秃秃的树枝，在野风中摇摆退色的秃枝。

⑦榕树叶吃完了，他说他的羊也爱吃布袋莲。

  ⑧他特别做了一枝长竹竿来捞取小湖中的布袋莲，一捞就是一大把，一大片的布袋莲没有多久就被一群羊儿吃得一叶不剩。我虽曾几次因制止他而发生争执，但是由于榕树和布袋莲都是野生，没有人种它们，它们长久以来就生长在那里，中年汉子一句“是你种的吗”便把我驳得哑口无言。   

⑨我于是憎恨那个放羊的中年汉子。

⑩汉子的养羊技术并不好，他的羊不久就患病了；很快，他也搬离了那里，可是我却过了一个光秃秃的秋天，每次开窗就是一次心酸。   

11冬天到了，我常独自一个人在小湖边散步，看不见一朵布袋莲，也常抚摸那些被无情折断的榕树枝，连在湖中的鸭鹅都没有往日玩得那么起劲。我常在夜里寒风中，远望在清冷月色下已经死去的布袋莲，心酸得想落泪，我想，布袋莲和榕树都强这个小湖永远地消失了。

12熬过冬天，我开始在春天忙碌起来，很怕开窗，自己躲在小屋里整理未完成的文稿。

13有一日，旧友来访，提议到湖边去散散步，我诧异地发现榕树不知在什么时候萌发了细小的新芽，那新芽不是一叶两叶，而是千株万株，凡是曾经折断的伤口边都冒出四五朵小小的芽，远远望去，那棵几乎枯去的榕树仿佛披上了一件缀满绿色珍珠的外套。

14布袋莲更奇妙了，那原有的一角都已经销满，还向两边延伸出去，虽然每一朵都只有一寸长，但因为低矮，它们看起采更加缠绵，深绿还没有长成，是一片器得透明的绿色。

15我对朋友说起那群羊的故事，我们竞为了布袋莲和榕树的重生，快乐得在湖边拥抱起来，为了庆祝生的胜利，当夜我们就着窗外的春光，痛饮至醉。

16那时节，我只知道为榕树和布袋莲的新生而高兴，因为邵一段日子活得太幸福了，完全不知道它们还有别的意义。   

    17经过几年的沧桑创痛，我觉得情感和岁月都是磨人的，常把自己想成是一棵榕树，

或是一片布袋莲。情感和岁月正牧着一群恶羊，一口一口地啃吃着我们原来翠绿活泼的心灵，有的人在这些啃吃中枯死了，有的人失败了，枯死与失败原是必有的事，问题是，东风是不是来? 是不是能自破裂的伤口边长出更多的新芽?

18我翻开七年前的日记，那一天酒醉后，歪歪斜斜地写了两句话：“要为重活的高兴，

不要为死去的忧伤。”
