中考英语阅读理解题及答案解析5An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother， “Only a miracle can save him now，” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.She hurried to a drugstore （药店） with the money in her hand.“And what do you want？” asked the salesman. “Its for my little brother，” the girl answered. “Hes really， really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon？” said the salesman.“My brother Andrew has something bad growing in-side his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost？” “We dont sell a miracle here， child. Im sorry，” the salesman said with a smile.“Listen， if it isnt enough， I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”A well-dressed man heard it and asked， “What kind of a miracle does your brother need？”“I dont know，” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “Hes really sick and mum says he needs an opera-tion. But my daddy cant pay for it， so I have brought all my money.”“How much do you have？” asked the man. “$ 1.11， but I can try and get some more，” she answered.“Well， what luck，” smiled the man. “$ 1.11， the price of a miracle for little brothers.”He took up the girls hand and said， “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Lets see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong， a famous doctor. The operation was successful and it wasnt long before Andrew was home again.How much did the miracle cost？根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。1. What was the trouble in the little girls family？A.

Andrew was in fact not so sick as they had thought答案与解析1. 选 D.根据第1段中的All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money可知答案。2. 选C.由于这个小女孩的家很穷，而她的兄弟又病得那样重，所以她的父亲说Only a miracle can save him now，小女孩听了之后便翻出她所有的“积蓄”去药店购买miracle，由此可见，小女孩可能认为miracle是一种什么很神奇的药。注：miracle的实际意思是“奇迹”，Only a miracle can save him now的意思是“只有出现奇迹才可能救得了他”。3. 选B.根据上下文语境，I can try and get some more 后其实省略了money一词，句意为“我会想办法弄更多钱来的”。因为小女孩担心自己的钱不够而买不到miracle，所以反复对药店老板和那位穿着讲究的人说这句话，其意思显然是希望自己不遭到拒
