五、阅读理解(20 分)
A
Tom was a helpful boy. Every Sunday morning,he walked to the newspaper kiosk(报刊亭) at the supermarket to buy a newspaper for his dad. He liked to leave the house early as it was more peaceful then,with fewer cars in the streets.
One Sunday morning,when Tom arrived at the supermarket,he saw his neighbour,old Mrs Jackson. She was choosing apples at the fruit shop. Tom greeted her and then went to get his newspaper.
As he was leaving,Tom saw Mrs Jackson walking in front of him. Her bag looked very heavy.
“Would you like me to carry that for you,Mrs Jackson?” Tom asked.
“What a helpful boy you are,Tom! Thank you. It is heavy,” she replied.
Tom picked up the heavy bag and began walking slowly home with Mrs Jackson. The bag seemed to grow heavier with each step. Then,just as they were about to cross the road,it fell off Tom's hand and dropped on the hard road!
“Oh,no!” cried Tom. “The fruit will be squashed (压扁).”
Mrs Jackson looked into the bag. “Yes,the fruit does look a bit squashed. But don't worry,Tom. I like fruit juice. I'll just make juice instead. Call at my house this afternoon. We'll have some delicious cold fruit juice together!” she said with a wide smile.

答案： 【解析】：
这是一道英语阅读理解题，主要考查学生对文章细节的理解和推理能力。文章主要讲述了一个名叫Tom的男孩每个星期天早上去超市的报刊亭为他的爸爸买报纸，以及他如何帮助他的邻居Jackson太太的故事。
1. 第一题是细节理解题，根据文章第一段的描述，“Every Sunday morning, he walked to the newspaper kiosk at the supermarket to buy a newspaper for his dad.”，可以直接得出答案是A，即Tom每个星期天早上去报刊亭买报纸是为了他的爸爸。
2. 第二题也是细节理解题，根据文章第二段的描述，“One Sunday morning, when Tom arrived at the supermarket, he saw his neighbour, old Mrs Jackson. She was choosing apples at the fruit shop.”，可以直接得出答案是B，即当Tom到达超市时，Jackson太太正在水果店挑选苹果。
3. 第三题是词句猜测题，需要理解文章中的句子“The bag seemed to grow heavier with each step.”，这句话的意思是袋子每走一步都似乎变得更重，这反映了Tom拿袋子的艰难，并不是真的变重，只是他的主观感受，因此选项D“the bag was so heavy that Tom couldn't carry it easily”最符合这个描述。虽然A选项“the bag became heavier and heavier on their way home”字面上与原文相似，但原文的“seemed to”表明这是一种主观感受，并非事实，所以A选项并不准确。而B和C选项与原文描述不符。
【答案】：
1. A
2. B
3. D
