答案

56—59 ABBC

解析

 （导读）“我”在家做全职太太时却没有闲钱给女儿买花，女儿只能拿着花梗，这时一位卖花女郎好心送给女儿一支鲜花让“我”至今记忆犹新——人间最珍贵的是慷慨和给予。56. A。判断推理题。通读第二段就可以看出，小女孩收到鲜花以后，一直不离后，回家又放在水里面，所以应该是非常高兴。57. B。判断推理题。“我”介绍别人去买卖花女郎的花，以及给陌生人指路时以卖花女郎为参照物，就是因为前面受过其好处，心存感激。58. B。细节理解题。通读文章，从最后一句话可以看出，“我”并不知道这位妇女的更多信息。59. C。主旨大意题。文章主要说了一位卖花女郎给女儿鲜花前后发生的故事，所以选C。

生活感悟类阅读解题指导：

一、文章特点： 生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”，点出全文的中心思想，就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂，耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似，一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句（论点），其它句子围绕主题展开论述（论据），论证方法多种多样，或举例，或引用名言，或正反对照等。二、解题技巧：针对生活感悟类文章的特点，做这类文章的完形填空时，要特别注意以下几点：1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文，找出when，where，who，what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔，充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句，有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域，而是谈一些小事和简单的道理，所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣，读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度，从而提高做题的准确度。因此，考生在平时要做一个有心人，即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事，思考人生的一些基本道理，多阅读一些短小精悍的美文，多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心，做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
