[语篇解读]一个仙女带给卡尔和菲利普他们时光老人的新年礼物:每人一本书，书上什么也没有。12个月后，仙女来取回旧书，带来两本新书。卡尔和菲利普在旧书上看到:他们做了好事时，那一页上就是花、鸟等美好的东西;如果他们做了不好的事情时，那一页上就是污点和划痕等。这使他们懂得每一天都应该表现好。

1. A句意:时光老人让我带给你们新年礼物。

bring意为“带 来”，符合句意；make意为“制造”，sell意为“卖”，buy意为 “买”，不符合句意。故选A.

2. C 上文 “ She handed each child a package ” 一句中提及 package ,此处两人应该是打开packages,符合上下文。故 选C。

3. A十二个月过去了，仙女又来了。根据上下文可知，只有 Fairy符合语意。故选A.

4. D可以保存我的书稍微长一点时间吗？ “我的书”用my book。故选 D0

5. B每天只能打开书一次，并且每次只能看一页。此处前后 句是顺承关系，用and连接。故选   B.

6. C句意:你可以看看菲利普的书。

look at意为“看看”，符合 句意;look after意为“照看”，look for意为“寻找”，look out意 为“当心”，不符合句意。故选   C.

7. D 由前句“Then she lit (点壳) two liltle lamps for them." 可知 此处为:借助于灯光。选项中只有lamps在上文中出现，选项 A、B、Cf上下文中都没有提及。故选   D.

8. C 由前文提及“found two books with clean pages in them” 可 推出本句句意:我们第一次打开它时每一页都是干净的。

9. B 由下文提及“the beautiful birds and flowers appeared”可知 此处为:但现在一些页码上绘制了像花、鸟的美丽的东西。故 选   B.

10. A本句句意:仙女微笑着对两个小男孩说……。故选A.

II .B 上文“ some pages with ugly,black spots and scratches (戈] 痕) on them!”和此处呼应。故选   B.

12. A上句和本句相对应，所以此处为：当你们表现好的时候， 每一个美好的东西就出现在该页。选项中good意为“好的”，其余三个选项都是消极含义的词。故选A.

13. B由下句句意“They can't be read once more (它们不能被再 次阅读) ”可推出本句句意：哦，我们希望再次阅读这些书！

again意为“再次”，符合句意。故选B.

14. D根据上下文可推出此处为:它们(书) 现在必须放回时光 老人的书橱。故选D.
