A 12-year-old boy saw something in a shop window that set his heart racing. But the price—five dollars—was far beyond Reuben Earle’s wealth. Five dollars would buy almost a week’s groceries for his family.

　　Then, he headed for the shop, “I have the 44_,” he told the owner.
　　The man went to the window and took out Reuben’s 45_. He wiped the dust off and gently wrapped it in brown paper. Then he placed it in Reuben’s hands.
　　Racing home, Reuben 46_ the front door. “Here, Mum! Here!” He placed a small box in her work-roughened hands.
　　She 47_ it carefully. A jewel box appeared. Dora lifted the cover, 48_ beginning to blur(模糊)her vision.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题分2分，满分40分）
阅读下列 A、B、C、D每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Pearl opened her eyes when Ezra turned a page of his magazine. She pulled off her quilt, “Ezra,” she said. “If I could just have some water,” she told him.
He poured it from the waterpot. She heard no ice cubes clinking(冰块的叮当声); they must have melted. Yet it seemed just minutes ago that he’d brought in a whole new supply. He raised her head, rested it on his shoulder, and tipped the glass to her lips. Yes, half-heated—not that she minded. She drank gratefully, keeping her eyes closed. His shoulder felt steady and comfortable. He laid her back down on the pillow.
“Dr Vincent’s coming at ten,” he told her.
“What time is it now?”
“Eight thirty.”
“Eight thirty in the morning?”
“Yes.”
“Have you been here all night?” she asked.
“I slept a little.”
“Sleep now. I won’t be needing you.”
“Well, maybe after the doctor comes.”
It was important to Pearl that she cheated the doctor. She didn’t want to go to the hospital. She had lung disease, and she was almost certain; she guessed it from a past experience. She recognized the way it settled into her back. If Dr Vincent found out, he would take her out of her own bed, her own house, and send her off to Union Memorial.
“Maybe you should cancel the doctor altogether.” she told Ezra, “I’m improved very much, I believe.”
“Let him decide that.”
“Well, I know how my own self feels, Ezra.”
“We won’t argue about it just now,” said he.
He’d let a person walk all over him but then showed, sometimes, a deep and rock-hard stubbornness. She sighed and smoothed her quilt. Wasn’t it supposed to be the daughter who came and nursed you? She knew she should send him away but she couldn’t make herself do it. “I guess you want to get back to that restaurant,” she told him.
“No, no.”
“You’re like a mother who chatters about that place,” she said unhappily.
1. How does the author show the passage of time in Paragraph 2?
A. It was eight thirty in the morning. B. Ezra had finally arrived.
C. The ice cubes in the waterpot had melted. D. Pearl asked for some water.
2. It can be inferred from the dialogue that Pearl had spent the night ______.
A. sleeping in her bed B.
