13.Just as I entered my house,I heard a sound coming from the bedroom upstairs-it was from my favourite violin.
"Thief!"
I rushed upstairs and saw a boy in dirty clothes pulling my violin down.At first sight,I found a new pair of shoes missing.It seemed he was surely a thief.
However,when I saw his eyes full of fear,my anger disappeared.I smiled and asked,
"Are you Mr Ram's student Rubens?I'm his butler (男管家).I've heard Mr Ram said his student would come.It must be you."
"Has my teacher gone out?"the boy said,"I think I'd better visit him again in a while."I nodded and asked him,"Do you like playing the violin?"
Yes,but I'm too poor to afford one."the boy replied.
Then,I'll give you this violin."The boy looked at me in surprise,but he picked up the violin.While going out of the room,he suddenly saw a huge photo of me playing the violin at the Grand Theatre of Sydney on the wall.His face turned pale.He stood there for a moment and ran out.He must have understood what had happened because no master would put up the butler^photo on the wall of his living room.
A few years later,at a music competition in Melbourne,I was invited to be the judge.Finally,a violin player called Merritt won the first prize.
After the prize-giving,Merritt ran to me holding a violin box,his face red,and asked,"Mr Brian,do you still know me?You gave me this violin,which I have treasured ever since!Today,I want to say sorry and give back the violin to you without regret…"
He was just the"Mr Ram's student"!

分析 短文大意:作者遇到一个小偷想要偷走自己心爱的小提琴,但是小偷充满恐惧的眼睛使得他不想责罚他,而是把小提琴送给了他.几年后,在一次作者当评委的音乐比赛中,那位小偷得了一等奖并归还了作者的小提琴.
解答 47.A.细节理解题.题意:当作者看到小男孩把他的小提琴拉倒时感觉怎样.由文中的:However,when I saw his eyes full of fear,my anger disappeared.然而,当我看到他的眼睛充满了恐惧时,我的愤怒消失了.可知,作者当时很愤怒.故选:A.
48.B 推理判断题.题意:事实上,这个男孩是谁?根据短文开头At first sight,I found a new pair of shoes missing,作者发现自己有一双鞋不见,后面小男孩离开他家时的表现及短文的描述,可以推测出小男孩是一个小偷.故选B.
49.A.推理判断题.题意:男孩的脸变得苍白可能因为他意识到什么.根据文中的:He musthave understood what had happened because no master(主人)would put up the butler's photo on thewall of his living room.(他一定知道发生了什么了,因为没有主人把管家的相挂在客厅的墙上)可以推测出男孩已经意识到送他小提琴的人就是此屋的主人.故选A.
